Health for Men
Good men's health is about making smart choices for your health today - and for your future. For many men, surviving today's fast-paced life hardly gives them time to think about their health, much less take care of it. But putting the principles of healthy living into practice is easy for men living in Puerto Vallarta . . .
Good health is the key to a long and happy life, but unfortunately, lack of time, interest - or just plain laziness - can get in the way. It's so much easier just sitting on the beach, sipping on a margarita and watching all the girls go by . . . but what's the point in dreaming, if they run away screaming?
Eating right, getting fit, and staying healthy can enhance your love life, not to mention improve your physical and mental abilities. Unfortunately, they require a certain level of commitment on your part. But Puerto Vallarta, with all its gyms and health clubs offering everything from state-of-the-art exercise machines and free weights to personal trainers, diet and exercise programs makes living the healthy life a breeze.
Seeing the results makes the hard-won effort of healthy living even easier. A youthful appearance and looking fit can be important in business and society, and today, more men than ever are coming to Puerto Vallarta for cosmetic surgery. Yep, that's right - plastic surgery.
Due to a growth in decision making by men in health care issues, and an increased awareness of the availability of low-cost cosmetic surgery in Mexico, men who wouldn't dream of having a "beauty treatment," are now flocking to the board certified plastic surgeons in Puerto Vallarta, and going home looking young and feeling fit.

A Dad's Point-of-View: Making the Correct Decision
 Bruce Sallan
One of the many things that we try to teach our children is how to make a good decision. Sometimes the problem can be that we may not always make good decisions ourselves or we may allow emotions to influence our choices. I found this to be true in a recent argument I had with my older son...
5 Reasons Why You're Overeating
 Sarah Keefe
You may have recently put on a few pounds and are not sure why. Or, perhaps you've been working out diligently, but still can't get rid of those pesky love handles. You may, in fact, need to start paying closer attention to your eating habits.
Give That Thing A Rest!
 John Casey
Given the bind that many prominent American men have thrust themselves into — think Tiger Woods, Mark Sanford, Eliot Spitzer, et al. — it seems it really is possible to have too much of a good thing. And your prostate gland appears to agree.
 Magnolia
 Radheyan Simonpillai
A decade after its release, P.T. Anderson's emotionally epic Magnolia gets the glorious Blu-ray treatment it deserves. Magnolia just might be one of the few melodramas - call it a soap opera even - for and about men. Consider if you will all the phallic imagery on display.

A Dad's Point-of-View: What I Learned This Past Holiday Season
Bruce Sallan
Every holiday season brings both wonderful times and challenging family situations. This past season included my in-laws' first visit to our home and the first time my family and I would be apart. Can I say I learned more about our relationships? You bet. Was it easy and fun? You be the judge.
Updating the Cohiba
 Nick Foulkes
There are now more than a dozen different sizes of Cohibas, ranging from the anorexic Panetela to the chunky Siglo VI. What accounts for Cohiba's reputation is the quality of the tobacco harvested from the five best plantations in the Vuelta Abajo area and the extra fermentation of the filler leaves, which provide a cigar's flavor.
When the Gym Isn’t Enough
 Max Roosevelt
The fitness supplements industry is primarily aimed at young men. Bodybuilding-related products — powders and pills with names like Muscle Milk, Amplified Mass XXX and N.O.-Xplode — represented a $2.7 billion industry in 2008, but one whose benefits are in serious dispute.
A Dad's Point-of-View: A Different Set of New Year's Resolutions
Bruce Sallan
I hate New Year's Resolutions. I swore I'd never write one. I misspoke. So, this is going to be a New Year's Resolutions column, with a twist: it will include both resolutions and wishes. I am going to mix my own personal resolutions and wishes with those I project for others, and the world.

A Dad's Point-of-View: Christmas Trees, Menorahs, and Being Apart (on Christmas)
 Bruce Sallan
This holiday season my wife and I will celebrate our first year of marriage on separate continents. As we are different races and religions, there are usually challenges we encounter at this time of year, so maybe being 7,000 miles apart will make it easier...
Dirty Talk Basics
 David Strovny
Talking dirty can be a lot of fun and can give a boost to your sex life. Being an effective dirty talker takes practice and perseverance. Blurting out rude things may come naturally to you, but being a successful filth merchant probably doesn’t. Just remember: Take it easy and work your way into it.

A Dad's Point-of-View: A Man and His Dogs
 Bruce Sallan
When I was a child, my mother brought home a little dog that was so small that she carried it in her purse. Fully grown, she weighed maybe 7 pounds. However, I always wanted a bigger dog. Like Lassie or Rin Tin Tin. Little dogs belong to girls or Paris Hilton, not to men...
Transgender/Transsexual People
 Alex Gomez
It must have been about ten years ago that Paco Paco was the 'in' gay bar in Puerto Vallarta. It had a gorgeous bouncer, who was apparently in love with one of the transvestite performers there, Marilyn. I hit on him more than once, but he always insisted that he was straight, not gay...

How DNA Testing is Changing Fatherhood
 Ruth Padawer
Stricter federal rules have pressed states to chase down fathers and hold them responsible for children born outside of marriage, a category that includes 40 percent of all births. At the same time, DNA tests have become easier, cheaper and more reliable. Swiping a few cheek cells and paying a couple hundred dollars can answer the question that has plagued men since the dawn of time: Am I really the father?
