Social media is exploding with opposing opinions as the new advertising campaign “We believe: the best men can be” from Gillette goes viral, with both abuse and praise for the advert that promotes pos...

○●○ "Vaginismus." Personally, I think it sounds like a magic spell from a movie when you first hear it. Yet for the most part, women going through it will tell you first-hand that vaginismus is more l...
