SEXUALITY THROUGH THE AGES

It seems appropriate to initiate our study of sexuality by considering current sexual values, beliefs, customs, and practices as the end result of a long series of historical influences. Thus, the better we understand these historical factors, the better we may understand our own sexuality.
Although it is impossible to reconstruct completely the sexual expressions of ancient cultures, numerous records are still available which enable us to make some reasonable interpretations of those earlier sexual customs. For our purposes, we will identify four separate lines of influence in tracing the history of sexuality:

The pre-Biblical period
Pagan-polytheistic cultures
Ancient Oriental cultures
Judeo-Christian influences

Of these four, certainly it is the Judeo-Christian tradition which has had the most profound and enduring impact on contemporary sexuality in Western societies. Let us consider the first three lines of influence before turning our attention to the Judeo-Christian tradition. In the discussion that follows, it must be recognized that sexual values and practices did not remain static within a given culture but changed over time. Any description of Egyptian sexuality, for example, must recognize that the ancient Egyptian empire endured for over 3000 years. Just as our modern sexual values and customs have changed from generation to generation, it is reasonable to assume that changes occurred among the Egyptians over a period of time. What we have described, therefore, are the most salient and durable characteristics for each of the various cultures, to the degree that history enables us to describe these phenomena.

NATURAL MENS HEALTH

There are many differences between men and women, and one of the areas in which this is most obvious is in the way they deal with health issues. Most men are impatient with illness, especially their own. They don't have time to be slowed down by bad health and want to resolve problems quickly.
What I have also observed about men, both as clients and as friends, is that it often takes a little time for them to change unhealthy lifestyle habits. I think part of the reason for this is that it takes them a while to admit to having a problem. On the other hand, once they accept that there is a health issue that needs to be dealt with and decide to make a change, they can become quite obsessive. On the whole, men are very driven by goals and once they're on a roll, there is no stopping them.
In my private practice, I have treated many men but I have noticed a particular upsurge of interest in men's health over the last five years. Certainly, when I first began my practice in the mid-80s, the vast majority of my clients were women and children. It wasn't until the 90s that the husbands of the women I treated started being sent to me - some willingly and some reluctantly! These men were not 'new age' men. They were from all walks of life: businessmen, tradesmen, athletes, lawyers - even a few doctors! Many of these men had already been down the orthodox medicine path and come away very disillusioned. So often they had been told 'You must lose weight' or 'You need to cut down your stress', but they were never given any advice on how to do this.
