Novak Djokovic is a Pod Person: Current men's No. 1 Novak Djokovic improves his fitness by climbing into a $75,000 egg-shaped, bobsled-sized pressure chamber. The CVAC Pod, one of only 20 in the world, uses a computer-controlled valve and a vacuum pump to simulate high altitude and compress the muscles at rhythmic intervals. "The company claims that spending up to 20 minutes in the pod three times a week can boost athletic performance by improving circulation, boosting oxygen-rich red-blood cells, removing lactic acid and possibly even stimulating mitochondrial biogenesis and stem-cell production," reports the Wall Street Journal.
LOL. I don't understand the bathtub thing in those commercials. I mean, it's kind of the opposite of intimacy, right? Unless Cialis is going for the no touching each other mutual masturbation demographic.

And people complain about Oscar Pistorius?

Probably because Oscar's legs actually work.

Most of us stick with "my spouse" or "significant other".

The his and hers bathtubs on the back deck
That's what my wife and I call "a double-ring ceremony".

You need to learn the value of a courtesy flush.

From the desk of the Buzzard's Bay Shallow Bed Fisheries Council:
Dear Sir:
We are dismayed that your site has chosen to disallow all discussion of clam shots while allowing free and open mention of penis pumps.
We feel that this is indicative (yes, indicative) of a double standard and would ask that you revisit your policies and make more generous and inclusive allowances in your discussion guidelines.
Sincerely,
Capt. Richard Waters-Bush

Is there a two person version of that machine?
The his and hers bathtubs on the back deck are just not happening.
