What men should look for when buying a watch?

For a long time, watches were the only esthetic ornaments accorded to men, nowadays men wear other jewelry and accessories but a watch still says a lot about the personality of the person who wears it. Watch terminology and things to look for.

There are essentially 5 important things to look for when purchasing a quality wristwatch in a brick and mortar store or online.

1-Image - Does the watch you are about to purchase reflect your personality, your style? Your watch should combine with your true character, not try to show someone you are not. Don't try to elevate yourself by buying a premium, luxury watch, heavy and invasive; thinking it will make you look better, if it does not suit you, the opposite effect will happen. Make sure that if you buy an expensive watch it is for the design and quality. My personality being discreet and classic, I like a slim, elegant design, round dial watch with a leather band. I tried once a heavier Rolex type steel bracelet watch, I felt like everybody was looking at me.

2-Designation

What does Swiss Made means? "Swiss made" constitutes a concept of quality. It includes the technical quality of watches; accuracy, reliability, water-resistance, shock-resistance and its aesthetic quality: elegance, originality, design. It covers both traditional manufacturing and new technologies. Only when it is Swiss, may a watch carry the indications "Swiss made" or "Swiss" on the outside. A watch is considered to be Swiss if: a-Its movement is Swiss b-Its movement is cased up in Switzerland c-The manufacturer carries out the final inspection in Switzerland.

What is the difference between a Chronograph and a Chronometer? Chronometer defines an other concept of quality; it is given to automatic and mechanical movement watches (not quartz movement) that have the highest standard of precision. A watch carrying the chronometer certification has passed 15 days rigorous testing (under different conditions) demanded by the Swiss Official Chronometer Control (COSC). It carries a premium price over non-chronometer watches. A chronograph is simply a watch with stopwatch capabilities. It has two independent time systems: one indicates the time of day, and the other measures brief intervals of time. Counters registering seconds, minutes and even hours can be started and stopped as desired.

Scratch resistance. The glass or crystal is made to protect the dial. Acrylic crystal is inexpensive, a plastic that does not prevent scratches. Mineral crystal is a glass, it is eight times harder than acrylic crystal. Sapphire crystal is the best and most expensive crystal and is three times harder than mineral crystal.

Waterproof versus Water resistant? A watch is never water proof, it is water resistant or made to prevent water from entering. A quality watch should indicate how much water it can withstand and still works. A good watch will offer resistance from 50m. Beyond that you are surely a professional diver and will need a specialist watch with depth indicator and other technicalities. If you are not, avoid taking your watch into salty water or chlorine, if you must, make sure you rinse it with warm water afterwards.

3-Mechanical, quartz, Automatic Movements Automatic mechanical watches are the most desirable in terms or practicality and functionality. A mechanical watch uses the energy from a wound spring and keeps time through the highly regulated release of that energy through a set of gears call the wheel train and escapement. Automatic watches, self-winding watch or perpetual (Rolex) are mechanical watches with a balance wheel and escapement, whose mainspring is wound by the motion of the wearer's arm, instead of having to be wound manually every day. It needs no battery. The name comes from the fact that, instead of the owner having to wind the watch to power, the watch winds itself automatically when worn regularly. Quartz watches work with a series of electronic components, all fitting together in a tiny space. Rather than a wound spring, a quartz watch relies on a battery for its energy. Automatic quartz is a combination of a watch movement that combine a self-winding rotor mechanism as used in automatic mechanical watches to generate electricity with a piezoelectric quartz crystal as its timing element. It provides the advantages of quartz and mechanical watches.

4-Price against value Can the status and prestige of the watch you are planning to buy justify its price? Up to you to decide if the price reflects the overall quality, technology, mechanism (Automatic, Quartz,), designation (Swiss-Made, Chronometer,) design, history behind the watch or just the hype behind the brand. I would differentiate between pure watch brands and fashion houses diversifying into watches. Both offer excellent products.

5-Care and Guarantee

Choose a watch which is easy to care for. A quality watch does not dispense you from caring for it and cleaning it regularly. Wash your watch in warm soapy water occasionally. Have your watch serviced every three years. Store your watch in a soft cloth. Avoid extreme temperatures.

Guarantee. Choose a watch with at least 2 years of International manufacturer warrantee from the date of purchase. It should cover against failure due to defective materials or workmanship, damages caused by water entry into the case, providing the glass, crown, and case back are intact.

Most importantly, take your time, try, compare and investigate. Find quality watches at http://www.carametis.co.uk/acatalog/designer-mens-watches.html

Mens Vitamins - Learn which Key Nutrients Every Man Needs

Because of the great biological demands on a man's body, it is essential to consider using some formulation of men's vitamins. First, it is important to understand that the word vitamin is often used interchangeably to describe not only vitamins, but also minerals, phytonutrients, amino acids, enzymes, herbs and a whole host of other nutritional supplements.

Because each gender has their own set of nutritional and metabolic needs, it is vital that men choose vitamins specifically designed for them. Males require a number of specialty nutrients that just are not available from diet alone. Because of this, it important to choose a men's vitamin that meets all of your nutritional needs.

Key Nutrients

In men's health, the main concerns include enlarged prostate, prostate cancer and gynomastia (enlarged breast tissue). As a man ages, they creates less testosterone, furthermore, a large share of the testosterone they do produce is converted to estrogen. Because of this, their breast tissue might begin to enlarge and they may see a decrease in libido. Many of the pharmaceutical drug therapies used to counteract the effects of this hormone reduction can cause very serious side effects, the most severe being accelerated growth in undetected prostate cancer and liver dysfunction. One natural way to combat hormonal problems is to make sure the men's vitamins you are taking include the bioflavonoid (isoflavone) Chrysin, a plant extract, which naturally helps inhibit testosterone conversion to estrogen. It is important to use a supplement that has a chrysin potency of 90 percent or higher. Chrysin is an expensive ingredient so most supplements contain it at paltry potencies and tiny dose amounts. Avoid these products.

Zinc is another important component of the mens vitamin supplement you choose. This powerful nutrient has proven positive effects on prostate health. The most common form of zinc used in supplements is citrate. While this form is beneficial, your men's vitamins should contain a healthy dose of zinc aspartate. Why? Because zinc aspartate travels directly to the prostate. The phytonutrient Quercetin also helps to protect against prostate cancer. It contains anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties to block male hormones that encourage cancer cell growth. The other well-known and effective prostate nutrients that must be in your men's vitamin supplement are:

* Beta Sitosterol * Corn Silk Extracts * Lycopene * Saw Palmetto * Resveratrol

When considering other key components of men's vitamins, vitamins and minerals are of course important, but in low doses, and only to fill in nutrient gaps missing in your normal diet. If a large percentage of your supplement is made up of large doses of vitamins and minerals then you're not getting good value for the money. Vitamins and minerals are the cheapest ingredients in supplements!

Other key elements of a quality supplement include the following:

* Phytonutrients * Standardized medicinal herbs * Amino acids * Enzymes * Cofactors * Trace elements * Specialty nutrients * Special immunity enhancers

Good health starts with a strong immune system. This is your first line of defense against cancer and other major disease. In order to keep your immunities up it is important to have a variety of powerful boosters in your men's health supplements, including polysaccharides, alpha lipoic acid, turmeric, vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene, vitamin B6, calcium and manganese.

Things To Look For When selecting a Quality Mens Vitamin Supplement

The first thing to check is that all herbs are standardized. This will guarantee the potency and amount of active ingredients in the supplement you purchase. Many products avoid using standardized extracts because they are considerably more expensive.

To ensure that the product is safe, pure and potent, all unprocessed materials must be sourced from Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) registered and audited facilities and all ingredients must have a Certificate of Analysis (COA) to confirm their potency. These should be freely available to any consumer who requests them and their must be a confirmed paper trail proving the source of all ingredients.

In addition, supplement companies must test all raw materials prior to manufacture for compliance with the COA and for microbiological contamination. Finally, be sure the product does not contain artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, fillers or binders, as well as potential allergenic substances such as lactose, gluten, wheat and yeast.

A quality vitamin supplement for men containing all the nutrients mentioned above provides an excellent foundation for your preventative health regime as well as for treating existing health conditions. By taking steps to ensure that a supplement is manufactured in accordance with the criteria listed in this article and has a competitive price, you can feel confident that you are using a highly efficious and safe product which offers excellent value for money.

Prostate Cancer

What is prostate cancer?

Cancer is a term for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control. Cancer of the prostate is the most common malignancy in American men. Malignancy is a cancerous tumor that can invade and destroy nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body. Early prostate cancer is localized (confined) to the gland, and the majority of patients with localized prostate cancer have a long survival after diagnosis.

Who is at risk for prostate cancer?

All men are at risk. The most common risk factor is age. More than 75 percent of men diagnosed with prostate cancer each year are over the age of 65. African American men have a higher risk of prostate cancer than white Americans. There is some evidence that a diet higher in animal fat may, in part, underlie these differences in risk. Genetic factors also appear to play a role, particularly for families in whom the diagnosis is made in men under age of 60 years. The risk of prostate cancer rises with the number of close relatives who have the disease. It is generally recommended that men who are at high-risk begin screening at age 40 and men who are not at high-risk begin screening at age 50.

What are the symptoms of prostate cancer?

Prostate cancer often does not cause symptoms for many years. By the time symptoms occur, the disease may have spread beyond the prostate. When symptoms do occur, they may include: Frequent urination, especially at night Inability to urinate Trouble starting or holding back urination A weak or interrupted flow of urine Painful or burning urination

Can prostate cancer be fround before a man has symptoms?

Yes. Two tests are commonly used to detect prostate cancer in the absence of any symptoms. One is the digital rectal exam, in which a doctor feels the prostate through the rectum to find hard or lumpy areas. The other is a blood test used to detect a substance made by the prostate called prostate specific antigen (PSA).

What are the treatment options for localized prostate cancer?

There are five generally accepted options for treatment of patients with localized prostate cancer: Nerve-sparing surgery (reduces the risk of erectile dysfunction side effects) Hormonal therapy (Lowers production of testosterone) Radiation therapy Brachytherapy seed implants Chemotherapy (Uses anti-cancer drugs) (New) Cryosurgery (Uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and kill prostate cancer cells) Because prostate cancer is often slow growing, a minority of men choose not to be treated at all (so-called watchful waiting) unless blood tests suggest that the tumor is becoming more aggressive.

Reliable Information Answers Men's Sexual Health Questions

As teens, boys gather information about men's sexual health and sexuality from their peers. Locker room talk may titillate, but it provides little in the way of accurate information about men's health issues. Unfortunately, while adult women are likely to seek out information from professionals, men are more reticent to discuss questions about men's sexual health and men's health news in general with their doctors or other professionals. When compared to women, they're also less likely to discuss their concerns with other men. As a result, men are often left to wonder about issues that are common to many men, particularly questions about men's sexual health.

Luckily, with the explosion of the Internet, a wealth of information has become available that answers men's questions - anonymously. While there are certainly many bogus sites with misinformation, discerning men are able to find reputable websites that discuss men's issues or that include a men's health forum.

Men's sexual health questions cover a wide range of topics. For example, condoms are widely (and correctly) seen as both a contraceptive and a way of protecting against sexually transmitted diseases. Nonetheless, many men opt not to use condoms. In a men's health forum, men can get the facts and news about condoms, while also discussing risks, tips, and personal experiences.

Another men's sexual health topic often covered by a men's health forum is erectile dysfunction. Despite pharmaceutical advances over the past decade, many men find it embarrassing to discuss this topic with friends or even their physicians. By visiting a reputable online information source, men can find answers to the questions and alleviate their concerns, as well as discovering options for correcting the problem.

Other men's questions revolve around more general issues, such as how to improve the libido. A forum can address both underlying medical causes, as well as identify lifestyle issues that could impact desire, such as fitness, dieting, and weight management.

Some men's sexual health questions are very specific. For example, men's health issues might include abnormal urethra development, the inability to retract the foreskin, Peyronie's disease, venous leakage, and so forth. Obtaining reliable information online will often encourage men to take the next step and seek care from their medical professionals. Being able to identify and intelligently discuss a problem increases men's comfort levels in discussing men's health issues with doctors.

Needless to say, sexually transmitted diseases should be a centerpiece of all discussions about men's sexual health. There is so much misinformation and sheer ignorance about STDs that men must be able to anonymously access accurate information about HIV/AIDS, gonorrhea, herpes, and syphilis.

A cornerstone of men's sexual health - and the ability to fully enjoy a sexual relationship - is accurate information. An online men's health forum is an excellent way to answer men's questions and concerns, and when necessary, urge them to seek medical attention.

Why Buy Recycled Clothes?

Why buy new when you can get a designer outfit for 50 pounds or even dollars? Karen Powell explains second hand doesn't have to be second best.

I meet friends for dinner wearing a classic linen shirt, Armani trousers and a vintage suede jacket. At one point during the evening, the conversation turns to clothes. I reveal my outfit is second hand and all three pieces combined cost less than 50. Eyes widen and jaws drop. Dead silence. I seize the opportunity to share more about my passion for pre-owned fashion.

Charity shops, vintage boutiques and consignment shops are bulging with fashion cast-offs; pre-owned garments commonly referred to as second hand, recycled, gently-worn, used, like-new and vintage. These alternative shopping destinations offer variety and value. From basic T-shirts to designer suits, many of the items I find are barely worn, stylish and inexpensive.

I go on to boast about how every time I purchase used instead of new, I help reduce the stream of textile discards headed for the landfill. In addition, buying second hand conserves the natural resources used to manufacture new clothing.

Before I can finish, my friends bombard me with questions: Where is the best place to shop? Is there much selection? Can I bargain? What about stains and odour? Heres what I tell them:

Know Where To Shop

Success in finding second hand clothing that suits your individual style and budget largely depends on where you shop.

Fashion Basics: If youre looking for everyday casual clothing, albeit classic or contemporary, check out the large charity chains. You will find a vast selection of womens, mens and childrens clothing and accessories of various brands in fair to excellent condition. Prices are low to moderate. Fashion basics can easily be found at garage sales, flea markets and small second hand shops as well.

Designer Labels: A consignment shop is the place to go if you prefer moderate to high-end designer brands. Some sell exclusively women?s wear or children?s clothes, for example. While others offer clothing for the whole family. You will find a variety of upscale apparel in good to excellent condition. Even though youll pay more than charity shop prices, the savings are big when compared to buying new.

Vintage: For those of you who love the look of yesteryear, your best bet is to head straight to vintage boutiques, vintage expos, estate sales and on-line auction sites. Occasionally, I get lucky and find vintage pieces at charity shops and jumble sales. Due to the popularity of retro fashion, selection and prices will vary depending on the style, era and where you shop.

Check The Condition

Before you buy a second hand garment check for wear and stains particularly in areas that might not be noticeable right away such as inside collars and cuffs, crotch and underarms. Keep in mind: set-in food, ink or rust stains may be difficult or impossible to remove.

To check for threadbare spots or moth holes, open the garment and hold it up to the light. If you dont have what it takes to mend, leave well-worn items behind.

Most odours such as must, perfume and smoke can be removed. Always wash your second hand purchases prior to adding them to your wardrobe or drawer.

Save Time and Money

Keep an eye out for reductions and special sales. Second hand shops frequently offer daily discounts, as well as, price reductions during holidays and in-store events.

Time your shopping with the shops stocking schedule. Some resale shops put new items on the floor daily, others might stock once a week on a particular day.

Resale shops have a no return, no exchange policy. If youre looking to match a particular colour or style to something in your wardrobe, carry that item with you when shopping. If youre shopping for someone other than yourself, jot down a few basic measurements.

Be sure to bargain when you shop at flea markets, garage sales, vintage expos and antique stores. Always ask, Is this your best price? or Will you take (name your price) for it??

Donate or consign unwanted clothing and household fabric discards in useable condition to charity and consignment shops. Your recycling efforts can earn you cash.

Get Creative

If you cant find what youre looking for, make-it yourself! Theres plenty of creative potential in second hand clothing and other discarded textile items such as bedding, linens, curtains, etc. Customise used garments with recycled trims, embroidery, dye or fabric paint. Combine features from one garment with another to create an original design. Consider sheets, curtains or tablecloths as yardage for making new garments using a commercial sewing pattern or your own.

Katherine is a sewn-product designer and produces 2ndHandMade; a collection of sewing guides for turning used textile goods into new items. She shares her resourceful approach to make-your-own lifestyle products through a series of creative reuse classes that she teaches in San Francisco.

Mens Fashion: The Necktie Is Dead, Or Is It?

Neckties are a $1 billion annual business in the United States, and necktie specialty shops have reported recent sales jumps in the double digits.

It has been said that neckties are just fancy choke collars to impose conformity, invite enslavement, and remind the wearer that his superiors have him by the neck. The debate between proponents and opponents of the wearing of neckties in the corporate world rages on, generally centered on issues of conformity, expectation, and expression.

I recently poled several offices of large corporate companies and found to my surprise that the necktie is still the number one fashion accessory for men of all ages.

Contrary to what I had been led to believe by the fashion pundits after speaking to a number of younger men, while some still held an abhorrence for the neck tie in the work place to my surprise there is an upsurge in interest among young consumers whose penchant for pairing non-traditional elements to create distinctly personal looks has been answered by modern captivating, vibrant neckwear.

Neckties are a $1 billion annual business in the United States, and necktie specialty shops have reported recent sales jumps in the double digits, says Jerry Andersen, executive president of the Men's Dress Furnishings Association, a New York trade group.

European trends mirror these sort of figures as do many Asian countries.

To really appreciate just how these trends are tracking just enter the keyword neckties in Google to be confronted by a huge selection of websites selling ties.

Ties are still rated amongst the top 5 selling men's gift.

Today much of the market growth is driven by the high end of the market with consumers demanding fashionable colors, styles and quality not found in your printed polyester tie. Pure silk double four fold and seven fold ties are fast gaining ground as the ties of choice as are custom ties made to order. For additional information on the high end of neckties and what constitutes a high end tie visit www.classico.com.au and follow the links or contact Brian for additional information.

Many may denigrate the tie as uncomfortable and pointless, yet they somehow they convey a power status and the personality and character of the wearer.

Neckties, an optional but vital component of a man's wardrobe, will never disappear.

Men's Wear: The Changing Trends

If you though 'fashion' to be a women-centric term then you are absolutely in the wrong. Fashion is closely followed by men the world over, though the field is still dominated by the womankind. The metrosexual men of today want to keep themselves updated about the latest trends that are sweeping the fashion world around the globe. There are magazines that are dedicated specifically for this purpose. Television channels too haven't been left behind, and today we have dedicated channels that display the trend of the times.

In such a scenario, keeping oneself abreast of the latest fashion news is not too difficult a task. Men can go through various options and sport the trends that can instantly give their personality a big boost. Men's clothing, no doubt, has always been bereft of a wide choice. The trend still keeps changing in accordance with the season and international liking. Men today are ready to experiment with their looks and clothes, and even the colour pink can be seen being splashed away in abundance on men's shirts and T-shirts.

Apart from the clothes, the accessories for men's too come out according to the latest trends that are taking the worldwide rounds. From embellished belts to matching wallets, and from attractive mobile covers to coordinated ties, everything belongs to 'today' and are the 'in' thing to flaunt.

Men might be busy but they have an option today that makes them shop from anywhere in the world that too from the comforts of ones home or office. All online shops have a dedicated mens wear section, just like all the showrooms on the high street. A little bit of research can help you get exactly what you want and at the best possible price. What more, you can even earn some cashback from any of these shopping portals. Shopping no longer is the prerogative of the women, men have infiltrated this territory and in no time have become a force to reckon with.

Generic Drugs: Save Your Money too

Erectile dysfunction has become more common among men as we expect. Most people hesitate to talk about this even with their partner and never try to treat it. Some even thinks to treat but they get annoyed with the escalating price-rates of prescription drugs. If so, then please don't loose heart. Now The generic pharmacy are available at your rescue. Such pharmacy specializes in offering generic version of branded drugs at affordable price to customers. In generic drugs the active components, quality, prescribed amount, routes of administration and strong points of a medicine are the same to that of its brand-name equivalent. These are differing only in price in comparison of branded drugs.

While we talking about erectile dysfunction, the first name that strikes our mind is Generic Viagra. It refers to Sildenafil citrate, which was created by the eminent Pfizer pharmaceutical company. For treating erectile dysfunction and PAH or pulmonary arterial hypertension, sildenafil citrate is the best possible option. The generic pharmacies can bring you the generic Viagra at the most affordable price-rates. Generic Cialis and Generic Levitra, the two closest competitors of it, are largely available in market. If compared to their brand-name counterparts, the generic drugs offered by the generic pharmacies are quite cheaper. This feature of the generic drugs makes these products really coveted items.

Though the looks of the generic ED pills are quite different from the branded sex-enhancement pills, the same ingredients are used in the products to execute their functions. The shape of the drugs, the fillers like flavors and colors, packaging and labeling and the expiry date of the Viagra are the various areas where the generic drugs differ from the branded drugs. The benefits of these generic medicines will remain unchanged.

The Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have approved the generic Viagra for treating erectile dysfunction. Scientists of different countries also try to make this better and better.

So, people suffering from erectile dysfunction who cannot afford the expensive branded pills don't have to lead a life devoid of sexual activities today. Generic Drugs can make their sexual life full of enjoyment again.

Skin care Is Not Just for Women

As far back as the beginning of time men have always been dominant. Males have taken on an instinctive role to be rough, tough, and well... manly. Women on the other hand have always had a instinct to be the ones who look stunning and gorgeous. For generations, these impulses have been worked into our thoughts as the natural and the "right" way to live life. Such as a man trying to get rid of acne years ago would've been seen as odd because it would be the feminine thing to do. If a woman didn't try to make her face as clean and blemish-free as possible, she was seen as the outcast.

However, modern times are here and things are changing. Old rules and roles are being changed. Men and women are catching up with equality. Metrosexuality is a good thing in today's society. Men who are in touch with their softer side are more attractive than the men who can't admit their feelings. Some men laugh at the idea of using hair gel, spiffy clothes, and face creams, while the ones using them are usually the guys getting the girls.

Today, women are attracted to successful, young-looking men, and first impressions are extremely important. Women look for that clean-cut guy that really catches their eye. With looks becoming a big thing for guys, it's easy to see why acne is no longer excepted. At a first glance, a women will notice whether a guy takes care of his face or not, and this can mean the difference between getting the girl, or going home alone.

Men have now turned to new answers and solutions for skin care. ClearPores is a product specifically designed to get rid of all the blemishes and rough spots that are no longer considered attractive to the women. A clear face is like the icing on the cake when it comes to style. Without it, it's just not cake! ClearPores uses SD Alcohol and Salicylic Acid to get the bacteria and dirt out of your pores.

A clear face is essential to the modern male. ClearPores can help any man achieve the stylish, and polished look he's striving for. There is no reason to let acne take over your life, which is why ClearPores is recommended as the best solution to your bothersome blemishes.

New Underwear, New You?

Men, has it dawned on you yet that your gender has entered into a new age of manliness? For decades, women have been nurturing their feminity, tuning it up and exploring their boundaries. Men have responded like the sensitive beings they actually are, with subtle changes of their own.

All of these changes add up to a new and welcome confidence for both women and men. Just as women have new freedoms to express themselves in different, more expansive ways, men have also shrugged off much social conditioning. In fact, when it comes to boundaries, they are expanding faster than we can even notice.

Did your dad say things like, "I'm a boxer kind of guy," and wear only button-down collars? It's a safe bet that you, like millions of men, are branching out, and having a great time exploring while you're at it.

Take men's underwear, for example. There's so much to choose from, it makes your head spin. The men's Athletic Underwear category alone offers a multitude of choices in designs, from thick-pouched jock straps to high-fashion fly-front briefs designed that literally show you off to the max. Hard cups, soft cups, compression shorts and suspensory jock straps comprise just the top echelon of your athletic underwear selections.

But let's talk about the old standby in mens underware: Boxer shorts. Nothing beats them for sheer hanging around comfort. But have you checked out the new spinoffs? Men's Boxers come in various fabrics and different styles too. For example, the Calvin Klein "pima cotton boxer" is different from their "lounge knit boxer," and so are their "boxer briefs," "calvin klein bottoms" and "hip briefs." All very distinct! All very cool!

The fact is, Calvin Klein has been the industry standard since 1982, when they exploded on the designer fashion scene. If you haven't taken a look at the incredible array Calvin Klein underwear has to offer, you're missing more than a fashion statement. You're missing an opportunity to explore who you are... at your most basic, your most natural.

Oh, I know all about this subject, you quip. Do you? Do you know the difference between a bikini brief and a hip brief? Between a body thong and a Calvin Klein "Pro Stretch Jock Strap?" Do you care? If you don't, you should. Your partner cares, so why shouldn't you?

The only thing sexier than mens underwear is womens underwear, right? If you believe that, you're about fifty percent wrong, and you're probably a guy. Maybe you're the kind of guy who enjoys his routines. Could be you've never even tried on some sexy men's thongs or even--gasp--a sexy g-string. Maybe now's the time?

You could find a sexy new you... just by changing your style of underwear! Who knows where you might go from there?
