What was also interesting, but not surprising, is that the vast majority of men who experienced low sexual desire were completely unwilling to talk with their wives, go to a doctor or go to a therapist.

Harvard, like Yale, like Southern New Hampshire Community College, like village schoolrooms in Iowa—in short, like any place...
...many, his visage evoked the cackling, maniacal villain Tommy Udo pushing an old woman tied to a wheelchair downstairs, in the 1947 film Kiss of Death. But offscreen, Richard Widmark played the true gentleman. Over his career, the chiseled, unconventionally handsome actor portrayed a vast array of characters--from frontiersman Jim Bowie in The Alamo to the head of a psychiatric institution in Cobweb to the corruptible boxing promoter Harry Fabian, one of his most memorable roles, in Jules Dassin's Night and the City...
