Resources to borrow

I have several resources which people may wish to borrow. They are:


  • DVD: Out of Sync - A dvd which explains issues that many couples have regarding mismatched libido.
  • Taking Care of Yourself and your family: A resource book for good mental health
  • The Talk:


The Talk DVD talks about sex and relationships in a frank, informed and non-threatening way.

Hosted by Nelly Thomas, the DVD features a mixture of humorous and entertaining sketches, songs, celebrity interviews and comedy, as well as interviews with health and other experts from relevant fields.
Of course The Talk covers off on the physical aspects of sex: the nuts and bolts of anatomy and sexual health; but importantly, it also addresses the emotional aspects of sex:  The Talk recognises that sometimes the hardest part about sex is not about the physical but the mental, and talks about establishing and maintaining respectful relationships.
The Talk has been created and written by Nelly Thomas and produced in consultation with the Melbourne Sexual Health Centre and the Centre Against Sexual Assault at the Royal Women’s Hospital.

If you would like to borrow any of these drop me an email and we can organise it.

Male Infertility

Even though it affects almost half of Australian couples presenting for assisted reproductive technologies, male-factor infertility is often poorly understood. A clinical tool, the Male Fertility Assessment, developed by Andrology Australia and endorsed by the Fertility Society of Australia, addresses male-factor infertility issues and is available for download from our website. The form aims to assist health professionals to gather vital information on males presenting with fertility problems.


If you are one of the people with male fertility issues you may want to look at the assessment form CLICK HERE

Dry July. One of our own does 'dry July'


Dry July is a non-profit organisation determined to improve the lives of adults living with cancer through an online social community giving up booze for the month of July.
Whether joining as a part of a team or as an individual, DJ's (Dry.July.er [dee-jay] noun: a person or team actively sponsored to participate in Dry July) take on the 31 days of July to raise funds and directly help adults living with cancer and their families to improve their quality of life.
One of our own men is participating in dry July this year. Have a read of his comments below and go to his website to sponser him for this great cause.

Hi all

I'm participating in Dry July (being advertised on 891 ABC) - the charity
that helps adults living with
cancer - and intend to be off alcohol for the whole month. That's 31
days where I'll actually be accountable for my actions. I am 20% through the
month
as you read this?

In appreciation of my radical transformation, any generous support you may
be able to offer will go a long way to ensuring I don't fall off the wagon,
as well as helping the many adults that live with this terrible disease.

My profile page link should you wish to make a donation and leave a message
of support is:

whilst I go Dry this July!!

Thanks in advance for your kind sponsorship,

With Kind Regards

Mark James

The following article idetifys a new test that may work in the future.
