Why Do Men Fall Asleep After Sex?: More Questions You'd Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Whiskey Sour
Why Do Men Fall Asleep After Sex?: More Questions You'd Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Whiskey Sour The authors of what is now casually referred to as "that nipple book" are back, with more answers to questions "you'd only ask a doctor after your third whiskey sour." Smart, funny, and informative, Why Do Men Fall Asleep After Sex offers answers to questions you may be too embarrassed to ask, like "Does peeing in the shower cure athlete's foot?" and "Can you breastfeed with fake boobs?" We had the opportunity to ask authors Mark Leyner and Billy Goldberg a few questions of our own--read their responses below.

10 Second Interview: A Few Words With Mark Leyner and Billy Goldberg

Q: Your first book Why Do Men Have Nipples" was a runaway bestseller. Was there one question that got the ball rolling for that book? What was it?
Goldberg: I collected questions for several years and the idea for the book was slowly percolating. I would have to say that "Why Does My Pee Smell When I Eat Asparagus?" was the question that really got things rolling with respect to finding the voice of the book. We have been accused of including too much potty talk and this one kind of broke the seal on that.
Leyner: The first question for me that got the ball rolling was posed by Dr. Billy Goldberg. It was: "Will you collaborate on this book with me?" Goldberg's a wonderful friend, the coolest doctor in New York City, a fantastically interesting figurative painter, and a pretty formidable tequila drinker. And I figured: what could be more fun than working with this guy and finally finding a way to parlay my perverse interest in medical and biological arcana into something people could really enjoy? It's like Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp forming a band!

Q: Do people recognize you two on the street now? What is the strangest question/comment you have received from fans?
Goldberg: Mark has been recognized several times on the streets of Hoboken, but the best I have gotten was one of the security guards at the hospital saying, "Hey Doc, I saw you on TV." That, and the nurse’s aides calling me Dr. Nipples.
Leyner: I went down to the lobby of a hotel recently because I'd eaten and drunk my mini-bar out of M&Ms and beer, and I needed MORE. The woman at the front desk said to me, "Hey! You're one of those Nipple Guys!!" My sky-rocketing Q-Score earned me a buttload of free Heinekin and Peanut M&Ms. Strangest questions... hmmmmm....either "What was it like being on Montel with mutant dogs and a psychic?" or "Do you two guys do medical experiments on each other?"

Q: How do you determine what questions to put in your books? Are there any questions or topics that you think are off limits?
Goldberg and Leyner: We put questions in that intrigue us, of course. And we especially love questions that make people giggle and cringe at the same time. Nothing is "off limits"... that's the sine qua non of the our whole enterprise. It's our ethos--there's NOTHING too embarrassing to ask.

10 Second Preview: An Excerpt

OBLIGATORY PRELUDE TO THE FOREWORD TO THE PROLOGUE TO THE PREFACE OF THE INTRODUCTION
OR
DOES ANYONE READ THIS CRAP?

Okay, so here we go again. . . .

It feels a bit different this time. When we were writing Why Do Men Have Nipples?, we had no idea that anyone (other than our editor, wives, moms, and dads) would read the book. Shows what we know.

Our little nipples book has sold more than a million copies internationally and spent twenty-five weeks (and counting) on the New York Times bestseller list. You have no idea how much we have loved this ride and how much we adore babbling on TV and drive-time radio, and especially in the makeup rooms where we shamelessly flirted with a succession of fantastic makeup artists at all the major networks. (By the way, Mark prefers the spray-on nozzle method, which he likens to being simonized in a car wash.)

But a funny thing happened along the way. We quickly became aware of the fact that we’d barely scratched the surface. As we talked to people who’d enjoyed our first book, we began accumulating hundreds of new questions—some funny, down-to-earth, exotic, some embarrassing, some perplexing, but always thought-provoking enough that we knew we’d have to include them in a brand-new volume.

We realized the gravity of the somber task ahead of us. We felt deputized. We knew we were now bound by honor and a fiduciary duty to you, our readers, to deliver unbiased, unadulterated, thoroughly researched, and unimpeachably factual answers to your questions. Humbled, but galvanized and inspired by the immense challenge that lay before us, we hunkered down in a windowless, antiseptic research cocoon, and made a solemn pledge to produce a new volume that would surpass the original and blaze new trails in the democratization of medical knowledge.

Oh please . . . SEQUEL!!!!!!! Here it is . . . Why Do Men Fall Asleep After Sex?

Open Question: Ok so I have taken 3 pregnancy test all came out positive but the docs urine test said negative WHY?
2 tests were First Response and 1 E.P.T all 3 positive but now the doctors one says negative. I am so flustered and confused. I was supposed to start my period on the 1st never came. I have the signs of being pregnant but then there's that thought that makes me question it all. (more...)

Open Question: I couldn't be pregnant, could i?
Okay, so i started my period Tuesday.. i also had sex that night too, but im on birth control and he used a condom. Today is Wednesday and last night and today my pee has been burning really bad, like i maybe have a bladder infection? I get one like once a year too but I went to the doctor and she asked me if i could be pregnant.. What're the chances of me being pregnant? i meant, i started THURSDAY (more...)

Open Question: Women who have had vaginal births then c-sections/ and visa versea....?
Okay so i first need to explain the story so i can give you all the inside. When i was pregnant with my son i ended up going in for a doctors apointment 3 weeks before my due date, and they couldnt find my sons heart beat they kept finding a heart beat in the 70's which they thought was mine. so they sent me to the hospital to get an ultra sound. Well i knew something was up right away because they put me in a delivery room. They found his heart beat and it was down to 70 and skipping 4 beats every 30 seconds or 8 beats a min. So the next thing i know im gettiing poked with needles and being told im having my baby today by emeregency c section. Im crying i dont know whats going on with my baby, because they didnt tell me. My best friend who was also pregnant and due 9 days before i was was with me and called my husband. I was wheeled into surgery before he got there. So i had my c -section and im being woken up in recovery and the first words out of my mouth are how is my baby. And they tell me they dont know. I am in such horriable pain at this time bcause they didnt have time to give me pain meds before i went into surgery so i feel like my insides are ripped out. I got to see my son for 2 mins before he was taken to a childrens merecy hospital, i didnt even get to hold him. I didnt get to see him again for 3 days. My recovery was extremly painful. Two weeks of severe pain and then four weeks of moderate pain. I know this sounds gross but i had diareha for a year after he was born. My scar is numb but the skin around it is so sensitve that if i touch it the wrong way it puts me in tears even to this day and its been two years. So im still dealing with pain and my insides are also messed up (due to the fact that he was number one concern which i dont mind im glad it was that way!) But okay My son was in childrens merecy for 4 days. He got to come home the day after i got out of the hospital but we had to keep goibg back to do Ekgs. Now here is what im getting to my friend had her son 11 days after mine, and she had a vaginal birth. i stayed with her the whole time even though i was still recovering. She then tells me that i was lucky!!!! Lucky that i didnt have to have a vaginal birth. At this point i just wanted to smack her because how am i lucky. If i didnt have that doctors appointment that day i could have lost my son. Here i am having to go threw sever pain for 2 weeks stil not knowing whats instore. Now we are pregnant again together she is 30 weeks im only 18 weeks and i have to have a c section again because my hospital changed there policy and you can no longer have vaginal birth after c section and again she tells me im lucky!!!! I need some women who have had vaginal births then c section or sections then vaginal births opinions, and anyone who had a problem with there child when they where first born. What do you think about what she said, would you have wanted to smack her too? I want everyones opinion. Thank you soo much! And sorry i cant spell lol spelling has never been my best subject :D (more...)

Open Question: Ear Infection, Cold and Fever?
Well I have been posting questions for about the last month or so about my daughter and the cold that she has had for over a month. Well Monday I took her to the doctor to get the second half of her flu shot. Well I asked to talk with a doctor because her cold wasn't getting better and she was out of the antibiotic they gave her. So he checked her ears and she had an ear infection in her right ear. Well she didn't have a fever that day and yesterday it was only at like 100.6 and today it has gone up to 102.8. Is this normal or should I call her doctor? I gave her motrin at 6:30 when it was 102.8 and then she wen back to sleep, when she woke up at 10 it was 101.9. She is 16-months old. She is on an antibiotic for the cold and ear infection. (more...)

Open Question: is it okay to go to the doctor for nasal problems if you have a cold?
have nasal problems with breathing should i go to the doctor if i have a cold or will it be hard to detect the real reason i cant breath? (more...)

Open Question: We found out yesterday that our twins are identical boys!?
After 3 girls we are ecstatic. Now here is my actual question.....my doctor said I might have to go on bedrest by 24 weeks. What EXACTLY does that mean? Lying down 24/7? No sitting etc? I cannot imagine. Any info. would be appreciated. (more...)

Open Question: pyeloplasty in adults?
Can someone please explain to me why doctors are not willing to preform pyeloplasty in adults, and that it is more common in children. Also does anybody know where i can reach a specialist who would be willing to review my case? My doctors do not want to attempt this surgery, and say that i have to endure the pain for the rest of my life. Is there another opinion that i should consider? There must be another way.... (more...)

Open Question: Has anyone out there developed pectus excavatum after having a normal chest as a child?
My 14-year-old son developed pectus excavatum when he was about 12, after having a perfectly shaped chest as a child. This was definitely not something he was born with. He developed it approximately around the time he had to give up eating wheat products due to a sensitivity. The doctors keep telling me "No, he must have had pectus as a baby" and "nutrition has nothing to do with having pectus" but I have my doubts. (more...)

Open Question: Will vitamins/herbal remedies help my thinning/loss of hair?
I am a 23 year old male and my hair has been thinning and falling out a little for about 6 months to a year now. So far I have only tried Rogaine for a few months which hasn't seemed to help much (although as of a few weeks ago, I was missing doses quite often... I am trying to not skip any now). The weird thing is that I have a very thick beard. I usually do not take a multivitamin or any supplements, so my main question is, will vitamins (like A, C, E, B-Complex, Inositol, Choline, Biotin, etc...) help me out for the hair on my HEAD? I have read that these can do wonders. But the reason I am skeptical is because the hair on my face grows with no problem, so will the vitamins make any difference for my head? If vitamins cannot help, I am willing to try some herbal remedies. Any suggestions on these? As a last resort, I will get Propecia from my doctor. Any advice? Thanks! Shawn (more...)
