What is the average penis size? This is undoubtedly one of the most awkward—as well as frequent—questions that will probably never get a satisfactory answer, despite what science suggests from time to time. Men in every corner of the planet worry about their penis size, and to many of them, this issue has become a nightmare.

But why are so many men so concerned with this matter? Is it a recent phenomenon, or has it always been a concern for men…..READ MORE

Ancient Greece is famous for many things, from architecture and democracy to epic heroes and battles that historically remain some of the most dramatic and intense. However, many scholars argue that the greatest cultural legacy of ancient Greek civilization is its freethinkers and the resulting philosophical thought. Pretty much everyone knows the “holy trinity” of ancient Greek philosophy: Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Each of these great men made a variety of striking statements that have been passed down through history, the most famous being Socrates’s “True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing,” perfectly reflecting the spirit of the age’s constant quest for knowledge and observation of existence and its essence….READ MORE

You’ve probably heard in recent years that a vegetarian diet is a much healthier way to feed yourself and that consuming excessive amounts of meat—especially red meat—is quite bad for your heart, your blood vessels, and overall health. From an ethical point of view, you’ve probably heard that eating meat makes you responsible for all the animal cruelty and killing that takes place daily, and such a claim might not be that far from the truth. It’s also possible that you’ve heard about many celebrities who follow a vegetarian diet, with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie being prime examples, which probably makes you think that vegetarianism is cool….READ MORE

The worst part is that drugs can not only kill you, but also alter and destroy your personality in the process as they change the chemical state of your body and mind.
