Hi everyone. There was a demonstration today at 12 noon at UCC against continued protesting the blatant discrimination practised by the Blood Board against gay men.This is the second year that these protestsd have been held.The Blood Board has a blanket ban against any men who have ever had sex with a man from ever giving blood. It doesn't even bother to ask straight people wether or not they practise safer sex.There are also demonstrations at UCC at 12 noon tomorrow Tuesday 16th and Wednesday 17th of November .The anti-racist movement isn't made up only of Black and Asian people. Don't leave fighting homophobia up to gay people.

New Bicycle Seat More Healthy, Eliminates Sexual Dysfunction

A traditional bicycle seat is more likely to cause male sexual dysfunction and a variety of other health problems than a new seat with a revolutionary design, according to Medicine & Science In Sports & Exercise, the official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine. Results of the 2004 study concluded that the typical sport/racing saddle with a narrow protruding nose causes twice the pressure in the perineal region as the Solution Bicycle Seat, a unique new model without the nose.

Previous studies linked perineal pressure to difficulties resulting from bicycling, including numbness, urinary track and yeast infections, prostate inflammation and impotence. That is because sitting on a typical bike saddle for long periods of time compresses the artery that provides blood flow to the area, according to Dr. Irwin Goldstein, a prominent urologist from Boston University. read full story / add a comment
