Can you please advise me on how to maintain the hardness of my erection? I don’t suffer from premature ejaculation but I lose my hardness sometimes when I am trying to pleasure my partner.
There a re a lot of things you can do to help you achieve and maintain a firmer erection. If you do even some of them, you should be good to go for a long time to come! It's all about blood flow -- increasing it and keeping it. Let’s look at your general health first.
If you smoke -- stop. It's read more... -

I'll be traveling alone on my next vacation. I'm pretty independent, but I'm a little afraid of getting lonely. Do you have any advice for single travelers?
I often travel alone when I am setting up new tours. I do go through times when I get a bit lonely but in general I love to travel solo as there seems to be more of an opportunity to meet locals than if I am with one other person and appear as a unit.
To avoid getting lonely I'd stay at B&B read more... -

My wife and I have a lifelong dream of traveling to Africa, but we're concerned about our safety and our health (at 60, we've got willing minds but aren't the adventurers we once were). Do you think it's safe to go to Africa for people like us? Can you recommend tour groups or places to stay?
YES YES YES!!! Most of the 3,000 folks I've traveled with are 50-70+, you are young!! Africa is a top destination for your age group.
I'd suggest joining a reputable small group tour. They can provide you with references, have made all the necessary safety precautions, offer you a "through read more... -

Since you've traveled so much, I bet you've heard a huge variety of indigenous music. What was the most musical place you've ever been?
For me, Peru and Ireland are two of the most musical places I've traveled.

My parents have dementia and need my help with some basic things. I’m struggling with the new responsibilities and didn’t expect it to happen so soon. Your articles on ThirdAge are so helpful, but I feel like I need a caregiving course. Can you recommend some resources to help me feel less alone and to help me give my parents the best care?
Hi, so sorry to hear you are struggling with your new role as a caregiver to your folks, but congratulations for reaching out for help! Even though there are over 50 million caregivers in the US, the common thread I have observed is that caregivers often feel alone. When I took care of my parents read more...

Today's Expert:
About two years ago I rolled over about $100,000 of 401K money from a previous job into a conservative mutual fund. I am 50 years old, and grateful that it's earning 2.3% interest, rather than sitting in an aggressive fund where it could be down 10% to 30%. On the other hand, I don't feel as though it is earning as much as it could. What would you do with it? I have other retirement money—another $400,000 or so—in diversified funds—that has taken a beating. Would you recommend I keep this money as is or move it to something else? Thank you.
Karen, Eden Prairie, MN
Karen, first off, you should feel good about the decision you made.
When it comes to thinking about how to pay for retirement, you need to mentally place your money into two buckets.
In bucket No. 1 is the money you are going to spend. These are the funds that are going to replace the income you read more... -

I’ve just went to a professional astrologer for the first time and I’m totally fascinated by the tradition. Can you recommend any books to help me learn more?
I recommend "Linda Goodman's Sun Signs" by Linda Goodman (Bantam, 1984) for an entertaining introduction to the zodiac signs. You might want to look at Steven Forrest's "The Inner Sky" (Seven Paws, 2007) as another introductory text. Some people also recommend "Astrology read more...

Can one be religious and still believe in the concepts of astrology?
Absolutely. Literally millions of religious people around the world follow astrology without any contradictions to their faith. In fact, you don't have to 'believe' in astrology to find it useful. It might help to know that astrology is simply the study of natural cycles in the universe.

Everyone who gives financial advice says the first thing I need to do is create a budget. Is that really true?
Katie, Columbus Ohio
To your very simple question, I offer a very simple answer: Maybe you do, maybe you don’t.
Let us explain.
Yes, you need some kind of understanding on what you do—and will—spend money on. But no, you probably don’t need a formal written document.
There are two reasons we say that.
