All things considered, the United States is actually doing pretty okay when it comes to vaccine rollout. As production of vaccines have ramped up, and now, with the soon passage of the President Joe Biden COVID-19 stimulus package that gives billions to states to create vaccine sites, actually create more vaccines, and hire vaccine workers, there’s reason to hope that things will only start to move faster. Still, even if you know that your turn to get the vaccine is just around the corner, or you’re eligible and struggling to make an appointment, you may be anxious to get one....

Your Penis Will Bend With Age Just as many old men develop weird new hobbies like bird feeding or watching NCIS, your penis will be keen to branch off in new directions. Over time, everyday activities like sex and running cause the development of scar tissue inside the penis. As it usually builds up asymmetrically, this can cause a noticeable bend in a previously straight schlong. This not-so-blind curve is natural....

Learning more about the lives of your parents can give you a better idea of where they came from, why they acted the way they did, and what might have been going through their minds, hearts, and souls while they were raising you. And, possibly more importantly, the answers to such questions might even shed light on your own parenting style. Because parenting is a process of learning from both mistakes and successes, we all know we need as much help as we can get....

I grew up in America. I was born in Los Angeles, went to school on the east coast, and spent a lot of time in Boston in my twenties. While there, I met and fell in love with my wife, who is from a small town north of Stockholm. We spent a few more years in Boston and enjoyed our life there. But as we thought about starting a family and settling down we knew we wanted to go to Sweden....

We don’t leave our house, I thought to myself. And since we were in the middle of trying to conceive, we had remained on the stricter end of the spectrum. There was one big change to our otherwise monotonous days. But I wasn’t about to share it. I noticed my husband’s eyes light up as he started talking. The truth was we had seen those two desirable pink lines show up again....

This revelation is just one of many to come from the work of Alexandra Killewald. A professor of sociology at Harvard, Killewald takes a statistical approach to inequality in the United States, focusing primarily on the relationships between work, family, and income. The finding above, for example, comes from a 2016 study Killewald published in American Sociological Review. Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, which represents data from 1968 to 2013, and looking at such various points as employment, financial status, and household chores, Killewald searched for divorce predictors....

I was 16 and I spent every Saturday and Sunday at Floral Fantasies just so I could drive that maroon, mag-wheeled sport coupe. It’s a flower shop by the way, so do get your mind out of the gutter. And it may not have made me too popular with the ladies to match bow colors to carnation corsages or sell top-shelf chocolate truffles out of the humidified glass case, but I did learn a lot about how to write an apology letter that could fit on a 2x3inch card....

One of the most volatile areas of financial discussion are spending habits. When you think your partner might be spending excessively, it’s easy to become riled up. You’re thinking, Why is this person spending so much on X when we need to save for Y and Z? How can they be so reckless? Such discussions can easily devolve into accusations and attacks. When you want to talk to your partner about their spending habits, what to do?...

After all, a baby born prematurely might begin sitting up on their own a little later than most, as will a baby who isn’t given much practice sitting up. The act itself will look different based on the circumstances. You wouldn’t know this if you were to read alarmist books outlining milestones that give you a distinct time period for when baby should, nay must, be sitting up (usually, they tell parents to panic by 9-months)....

No more fighting over the remote, we’ve got your seasonal movie nights covered.

Mickey’s Christmas Carol Mickey stars in his best performance as good-natured Bob Cratchitt, but he’s no Kermit the Frog. Mickey’s Christmas Carol is available to stream on Disney+...

Although each He-Man show is different, every animated adventure loosely follows life on Eternia, where Prince Adam, the son of King Randor, is the chosen hero to harness the power of Grayskull where he transforms to He-Man, the most powerful man in the universe where he defends against Skeletor and his evil warriors. The animated series has spawned spin-offs (She-Ra and The Princess of Power), a live-action adaptation in 1987 with Dolph Lundgren in the starring role, and there’s even talk of a modern-day live-action film coming from Netflix....

RELATED: The Best Diaper Bags For Dads Like most first-time parents, my wife and I registered for a diaper bag for our baby shower. In fact, we registered for two of the exact same diaper bag, thinking we’d blow right through them. Heavy daily use, inevitable milk spills, why not plan ahead? And at first, all went well. New parents love to overcompensate, and this bag fit everything — it was practically a mobile nursery....

While I didn’t quit drinking altogether, I rolled back booze, going from drinking once or twice per week to once or twice a month. I slept better and lost some weight. And I rediscovered the simple pleasure of THC without alcohol. Unwittingly, I’d backed into a trend. I was California sober. If the temperance movement began on a sunset beach to the sounds of The Mamas & the Papas, it’d be California sober....

The odd thing was that Selterman, now a researcher at the Dreams, Relationships, Emotions, Attraction, and Morality (DREAM) Lab at the University of Maryland, wasn’t cheating, abandoning, or uttering terrible things to his girlfriend in real life. They had a fine relationship in the real world. But when she dreamt these things, she’d wake up and argue with him about what a jerk his dream self had been. It was as though the fights actually happened....

Greater income, higher education, and bigger social networks that marriages afford can explain some but not all of the relationship between family structure and children’s outcomes.Instability often accounts for most if not all of the associations between family structure and children’s outcomes.The advantages of marriage for children’s wellbeing will be hard to replicate through policies other than those that bolster marriage itself The fact is so well-researched and understood by the general public, it has become accepted wisdom: Kids raised by their married, biological parents tend to be healthier (both mentally and physically) and do better in school....

Fatherly asked Vierra and other experts to weigh in on what men are most insecure about, and how they can learn to cope with these fears and address them head-on. Developing Breasts Gynecomastia, pejoratively known as man boobs, is a condition in which men develop breasts as a result of imbalances in estrogen and testosterone. It’s very common among boys during puberty, and among men 50 and older, but it is especially distressing for men under 40, according to New York–based plastic surgeon Joshua Zuckerman, M....

Oh god, please no, I think. Please spare me. I can’t take another night of this awful movie. It’s already been 3 weeks in a row! I know how much he enjoys the movie, and he only gets to watch TV once per week, and it’s supposed to be his choice. But if I see those poofy-haired dolls sing about happiness one more time, I’ll lose it. So I do the only thing I can: I lie....

Most folks understand the male orgasm in terms of ejaculation. But the two are separate processes, controlled by different parts of the brain and the nervous system. If you’re itching to experience multiple orgasms, then you need to know how to handle each reflex independently. Orgasm refers to the pleasurable sensation we achieve during the height of sexual arousal. Ejaculation revolves around the release of semen. It’s also responsible for the “refractory period,” or the time after ejaculation where a guy is unable to get hard again....

Tell me about the Dirty Dozen list. How long NCOSE been putting it together? The Dirty Dozen list started in 2013. Since then, it’s been an annual list. It’s 12 different targets. One of the requirements is that the companies listed are typically mainstream players in America — whether they’re a corporation or occasionally we’ll have an organization on there — that’s facilitating sexual exploitation. We try to have a variety of industries represented and we also try to have a variety of issues of sexual exploitation represented on the list as well....
