John asks…

Nervous about my dad?

my dad has to urinate about every 50 minutes. This isnt something that has always happened, i just noticed it a few weeks ago. He even had to pullover and go outside when we were driving for only about 20 minutes even though there was a mcdonalds 30 seconds away but he said he couldnt wait. Im statring to get nervous because i was looking up prostate cancer and the causes listed: (over 50, commonly among african american men, overweight, poor diet, no exercise, and family history). ALL OF THOSE are my dad and he hasnt been to the doc in over 20 years and he is so stubborn and i cant get him to go! Should i be worried? is this constant urination common? my dad is 52 years old

rob answers:

Simple enlargement of the prostate can cause this problem. There are medicines to reduce the size of the prostate. Benign prostate enlargement is very common is older men. Prostate cancer is far less common. Get him to see a doctor. He can be treated and helped.

Ken asks…

What would cause a man to just out of the blue say he is THINKING of getting a divorce?

We have had out ups and downs like all marriages. He is military and I am a stay at home mom. Our youngest is now 18 … I always joked to my best friend that when she was 18 he would leave … I never belived it. I had cancer several years back and have suffered this stupid depression since – I am much better than I started, but have gained weight. He became “stand-off-ish” when I got the cancer, almost like I disgust him. Sex has been non existent, but he told me it was HIM, that he was imputant and thought it was his prostate…. bla bla bla… you get the picture.
So, last night, he came home from work in a great mood. I had to run to my parents to help them with something but was not gone long. I came back in time to make dinner. He “accidently” locked the storm door (which I have no key to) and was in the back yard. I had to yell at him to get his attention … and yes I was a little miffed over it all. I came back to appoligize for being rude and he told me he would not accept my appology. You have to understand, we do not fight, we get mad yes but we always work things out, even if it takes a while. SO.. I got mad went in the house … make a long story short I tried to appoligze four times… each time he refused and got more angry. So jokingly I said so is something this small grounds for divorce? trying to make him see that it was all so small and pointless……… he said sooo seriously “I dont know, I have been thinking about a divorce!” I looked at him and he was SERIOUS….. I fell apart and tried to get him to explain… he pushed me away and said for me to leave him alone. He STILL wont talk to me. SO how did we get from a good mood to divorce??
actually we have been married almost 23 years – together 25
woulddu….. you didnt read it all. sex is non existent because of HIM not me. I am the neglected one if truth be known!
x2000 …. yep that is the full story. I have tried hard not to be the “bitch” wife and when I get pissed over the stupid stuff I apologize – I normally just push the anger down and dont say anything. This time I bitched about having to yell to get into the house – it was about 3 minutes of yelling to get his attention from the damn music he was listening to.

rob answers:

Not being rude but it doesn’t sound like its out of the blue. It sounds like he’s been treating you pretty horribly for a while. You did nothing wrong. Sometimes men bottle everything up for years and then it is the simplest and stupidest of things that pop their cork. Give him a bit of space and think about your marriage and if this is how you want to spend the rest of your life. If you want your husband and your marriage then give him a day to cool off and make him his favorite meal and sit down and have a calm discussion over why he’s been so unhappy. See if he’d be willing to go to your local church for guidence or a coucliing don’t give up hope. Be patient and kind and listen when he does talk you may be able to fix it
good luck

Thomas asks…

How can a feminism mean equality for everyone when it is a word itself is in the female tense?

Its women demanding respect from men, but never having to respect them in return

Its women having the choice between abortion, adoption, dropping an unwanted baby off at a hospital, raising the child with a father, or raising the child without a father, but the only choice men have is to agree

Its women labeling men as abusive when the US government has shown women cause more child abuse than men.

Its female rape being horrendous, but male rape being funny and made in to comedy movies

It’s more health care spending going towards women’s health even though men live an average of 5 years less. Breast cancer receives 7 times the funding of prostate cancer.

Its allowing women only clubs and banning men only clubs

It’s doing everything we can to help girls in math and science, but letting boys fall further behind in everything else.

It’s defining equal pay for equal work as men playing five sets of tennis, but women only playing three. Maybe women claiming 3=5 is the reason for the above point

Its cutting men’s sports in college in favor of women’s sports that have no interest

Its female murderers being mentally ill, but male murderers just being evil

Its claiming men walk out on their family when its actually women who file 80% of divorces

Its men being portrayed as evil, stupid or buffoons on TV and all women being perfect or superior

Its women wanting equality for their gender, but men being called chauvinist pigs when they want equality for their gender

In truth it is the feminists who are the sexists.Do you hear of maleists no.

If you want true equality you wouldn’t be a feminist on the first place.

William asks…

Is masturbation a sin and why?

Thats another question I have. I have been masturbating ever since I was 11. Lol I know yall saying damn you young when you started but why. I remember one time my grandma kinda caught me but she didnt see everything. It was kinda like that one scene outta Ace Ventura 2 where he got caught whacking off. She told “young man did you know it a sin, a sin to if you drop it thy seed of yours on the floor to die’. But its so hard. I mean Ill go one day im…ok. 2 days and im horny. Day 3 and woman I thought werent that great looking would turn me on. And day 4 its like im about to have a bad break out. But I heard that masturbation prevents prostate cancer. So its really hard cause I dont want cancer or to go to hell. Its even harder when its like you have near x ray vision on day 5. Plus I heard that if you quit by 2 weeks later you can ejaculate in your sleep “wet dream”. So is there anyone that has done it or have yall just said to hell with it?

rob answers:

Well, the bible always says to respect your temple of light (your body) because it is also Gods temple of light. Since masturbation significantly reduces the risk of getting testicular cancer, daily masturbation is respecting your temple of light and thus not a sin.

Paul asks…

Are feminists going to cry foul on this blatantly sexist women’s health initiative?

Clearly, this is a matter of free stuff for women, simply for being women. If feminism is about equal treatment under law, then they should either denounce this as sexist or push for EQUAL treatment for “well man” treatments…tests for testicular cancer, prostate health, FREE condoms, and so on.

http://news.yahoo.com/insurers-must-cover-birth-control-no-copays-140750830.html

In case you don’t/can’t click on the link, here is a list of the proposed free stuff for women:

Birth control…breast pumps for nursing mothers, an annual “well-woman” physical, screening for the virus that causes cervical cancer and for diabetes during pregnancy, counseling on domestic violence, and other services

But what else would one expect from a feminist president?

BTW: Nothing is free. Premiums will just increase.
@lyssa: You can’t get rid of me that easily! Besides, Canada is even more socialist than the U.S.! Plus, I thought you were going to give up your life in the U.S. and run away north with me.

rob answers:

Of course they won’t.
The feminist movement was never about equality between men and women; it was, and is, about female supremacy.

Men will be paying or all these too, and receiving nothing (unless you can somehow repurpose a breast-pump…), which is horrifically sexist in itself.

If the positions were reversed, with men getting these benefits (obviously different ones, but still) then women would be up in arms about it! There’d be lawsuits; the supreme court would be involved; protests; boycotts…

Notice, none of this from men. It’s as if the majority of men don’t want to admit the feminism is in fact infringing on their rights! Women are trained early on to spot “sexism” like a hawk. Men just let it slide and think nothing of it. Doesn’t even register as sexism in their heads. If “sexism recognition” is going to be taught, teach it to everyone. Same as you would recognition of racism, discrimination, or homophobia…

Women are always painted as the victims in society, men always painted as the dominat. This might’ve been true in the past, but now women continue to use this image to manipulate and forward their own agenda, when it’s clearly an outdated image.

This is all simply getting ridiculous and if things don’t change soon then men won’t have any rights at all. I say stand up to women. They’re not all fragile, they can hold their own fine consent take sh*t from them!
