Great topic Chris. Yet another health area which has given birth (pardon the pun) to an expoitative industry and full of quackery that relies on exploiting often very desparate and unhappy couples.

From the skinny guy to muscle-bound hulk exercise and diet programs, to drop 4 dress sizes in 12 weeks, to the bigger, firmer breasts creams, to the 20 years off your age face creams.

This site and ones like it are really empowering and educating people to make informed choices and avoid this cash-wasting products.
