Have Your Say

This section is for views, ideas and opinions not questions for health professionals.

If you wish to send in comments about this site or to offer your ideas or thoughts on any health subject you fancy, please use the form below. To view the comments that others have made, click on the links to the left.

We are sent many items of feedback every day so we can't post them all. But although we may edit for reasons of space, we try to post the feedback as sent so please don't complain to us about spelling mistakes, opinions expressed or anything else!

The enormous amount of feedback on vasectomy (often negative) and circumcision, the sudden increase in weight concerns and the apparent obsession of teenage boys with six-packs, this section is an invaluable insight into the health concerns of men today...

'It's great that malehealth exists'

In 2005, we surveyed 500 readers, new and established, of all ages. At the end of the survey, we gave them the opportunity to make comments of their own. Here they all are.

Top Post: Discrimination against short men

I am successful, drive a nice car, and got 9.4 on hotornot.com. And in my 25 years of life at 5'2", I have never so much as experienced a kiss. In addition, I find endless social problems arise and often people don't even listen to me or hear my suggestions in a group situation.

I'll tell you why short men commit suicide ... it's because while women don't take their 'preferences' as prejudice, and while other males think its fun to bash the little guy, it takes a toll on us. Oh yeah, and I'm also a suicide survivor. So there you go. I wish more short guys came forward and more studied were done. I wish women realized that their jokes and their superficial, shallow behaviour, as a collective in our society, does often make life seem worthless. I have given up on ever finding love, but not on life itself, at least.

Top Post: Sexual Problems

i have to say i feel inclined to disagree with the constant re-affirmations that masturbation to whatever extent is never unhealthy. from my own misguided experience, I have become quite sure that spending too much time in the realm of fantasy, reaching climax, and spilling ejacualation DO in fact lead to difficulty in real life relationships, dealing with reality in general, a degrading of ones personal and spiritual integrity, and indeed a general weakening of one's physical and metabolic integrity.

Top Post: Penis Problems

'Thank you for posting information o hypospadias, it is a shame we can not talk about our penises like we do our hair and other body parts. You are a pioneer for posting your info and pulling other men and parents together in the UK. I know operations can not take away my emotional issues from have ing genital difference, but now being able to talk with others has given me hope!'
