Avoid The Ultimate Millennial Meltdown!

On New Year's Eve, as they welcome in the new Millennium, some men's romantic ideas are likely to be thwarted by certain body parts not performing at the crucial moment. Common factors such as tiredness, tension, and too much alcohol can lead to an inability to "perform" sexually. In the lead-up to New Year's Eve, "people are going to be playing harder, traveling more than they're accustomed to--and they're also going to expect to have sexual relations," says Linda Fazio, a Professor at the University of Southern California. What might come next is the feeling that you HAVE to perform. This can cause enough anxiety to trigger the "fight-or-flight" response. Blood moves to areas devoted to self-defense, leaving no "lead in the pencil." If the "millennium bed bug" hits you, try a laugh to take the pressure off, and wait till the feeling returns. After all, you've got all the time in the world--a whole millennium!
