We compiled a list of the most popular colognes according to AskMen readers, which you can find by checking out Men's Top Colognes: When & Where.

This article will give you the best options for a day at the office, or for a night out with your lady. You don't want to attract all the women at the office, after all!

Q: I get horrible skin burns when I shave, got any tips?

A: You obviously know the importance of grooming, or you wouldn't be asking for advice -- so you are one step ahead of the game. Knowing which products to use and which are the best for you are important parts of grooming.

For the best grooming gadgets, from a razor care system to a personal grooming kit, check out our Top 10 Grooming Gadgets.

If you want actual grooming products, check out a list of must-have products to treat your hair and skin, in the following articles: Top 10 Grooming Products and Popular Grooming Products For Men.

Q: I recently became intimate with my girlfriend and wanted to know what music you recommend for when we are together.

A: Under the right conditions and with the right beats, music has the power to heighten whatever emotion you're currently experiencing. So imagine what music can do for you whilst making love...

It is safe to say that most people like to play music in the midst of the most intimate moments shared with their partners. Unfortunately, people don't realize that some of the music they play can subconsciously sabotage their night.

The kind of music you play will affect the mood you're in. Some music will depress you, other music will make you feel tired, while other beats will give you that extra rhythm to bounce the night away.

If you want to be sure about what kind of music is acceptable, and what is absolutely forbidden, you can do this by reading Set The Mood With Seductive Music.

Q; I know that you guys feature a lot of hot women on your site, but is it possible to have an alphabetical listing of them? It would make my life so much easier.

A: Actually, we do have these beauties listed in alphabetical order. If you'd like to start scanning them starting with the letter "A," just click here.

Q: I just got into the corporate world and wanted to know what business movies I should watch to learn a thing or two.

A: There are so many great movies about business and general knowlegde that convey great messages and teach priceless lessons. For some specifically related to the business world, I suggest you check out the following list.

Q: I recently received a promotion and need some good resources to become more effective, both in relation to work and as a person. What do you recommend?

A: In order to achieve something different in our lives, we must do something different. In order to do something different, we must know what to do. And in order to know something different, we must at least suspect that our current methods need improvement, and be open to finding a better way.

Many of us always do our best with what we know, but some of us still continue with our old habits, knowing that there is a better way to do things. Why? Because we're comfortable with our old ways. After all, it's what we know best, and changing would mean having to take a risk in order to break out of our comfort zone. You can change your life by Making Your Vision A Reality.



Q: What is the average penis size?

A: A study conducted by Lifestyles Condom Co. shows that the average length of a male sex organ is 5.877 inches, which might comfort men who previously thought they were less than average. Other reports, however, indicate that the average length of a penis is between 5.9 to 6.2 inches.

Most of these reports don't have a large enough sample size to be statistically significant. Therefore, you can expect that the average penis size is between 5.8 and 6.2 inches.

A half-inch or less might not have anything to do with how you perform sexually, but it might make a difference in how you feel about yourself. The important thing here is to realize that it is how you feel about yourself that will influence the kind of lover you are.

Q: Is there any treatment for erectile dysfunction?

A: The popularity of Viagra has skyrocketed over the past year. This marvelous little blue pill has brought passion and excitement back into people's sex lives. Viagra has proven to be a bestseller with good reason: it's effective for many people.

Today's medical advancements have allowed successful treatments of impotence through a variety of alternatives. A man and his partner no longer have to deal with the void of sexual displeasures. A man that suffers from repetitive erection loss should consult a specialist.

In general, the specialist will conduct a physical examination and laboratory investigation. This will allow him to get a good handle on the diagnosis, at which point he will proceed to explore the various treatment options. The question is, how should a man with erectile dysfunction be treated in an era of vacuum pumps, penile injections, medication, and prostheses? You should consult your doctor for advice on which treatment is best for you.

Q: Is there any effective treatment for hair loss?

A: DHT is created in the body of humans, and new research shows that this hormone is responsible for the progressive miniaturization of the genetically predisposed hair follicle. Under the suppressive effects of DHT, hair follicles become thinner and finer until the hair is permanently lost.

Revivogen™, although not FDA approved, is a natural topical formula that works through the same mechanism as Propecia®. Revivogen™ is made with natural ingredients that have been scientifically proven to reduce DHT production. In fact, the active ingredients in Revivogen™ reduce DHT even more effectively than Propecia®.

In addition, these ingredients prevent DHT's attachment to hair follicles, which is not done by Propecia®. Because Revivogen™ is used topically and is derived from natural ingredients, it does not affect DHT production elsewhere in the body; therefore, it has no systemic side effects and is safe for use by both genders.

By reducing DHT's production and its destructive effects on hair follicles, the weakened and miniaturized hairs become thicker and stronger again, leading to a fuller, healthier head of hair. By targeting the cause of hair loss at a molecular level, Revivogen™ is a one of a kind product that uses the power of nature to revitalize and protect the hair.

Within 90 days of using Revivogen™, a significant decrease in hair loss and thickening of existing hair may be noted. Within 3 to 6 months of use, the revitalized hairs will make the scalp look fuller and denser. With continued use, the hair quality will continue to improve and stay healthy, with best results occurring after 12 to 18 months.

Once the desired results are achieved, continued use of Revivogen™ is needed to maintain the revitalized hairs. This is because the body is continuously producing DHT. Therefore, the hair follicles need to be constantly protected from its destructive effects. However, once maximum results are obtained, the daily use of Revivogen™ can be decreased to few times a week for maintenance purposes.

Q: I read everywhere that women love receiving lingerie as a gift, but I haven't a clue where to start. Can you help me?

A: Do women love lingerie? Do men like nightly massages and home cooked meals? Of course women like to receive bedroom attire as gifts; lingerie demonstrates that not only do you find her incredibly sexy, but you also want her to play the sultry model before you get down to removing the gift in question altogether.

Fortunately, if you don't know the difference between a teddy and a negligee (there's no way you don't know what a thong is, right?), then check out our infamous Lingerie Article.

Q: I'm a single guy and have problems meeting women. Where is the best place to meet women online?

A: It's not always easy meeting new people, especially when you don't have the time nor the courage to speak to them face-to-face without first getting the nerve to think of what to say. This is where online personals come in handy.

Now you can think of what to say and practice how to put it in writing before getting all tongue-tied. Online personals are the best way to get someone to like you for your personality before they get to meet you. We recommend the followinf dating service for its ease of use, reputation and large network of members to choose from.

Q: Where can I meet married women, or women looking for a fling with no strings attached?

A: You'd be surprised how many women look to the Internet to find a partner for those lonely nights. I'm not talking about dating personals, but adult personals, where women don't beat around the bush and are straightforward about what they want: sex.

These sites allow you to locate people by location and age. All you need to do is sign up and browse for the women in your area, and believe me, there are a lot of excited women out there.

As a final note, I'd like to remind all my friends how people do crazy things when they become desperate. Remember that diseases usually spread during drought season. So above all, keep your health in mind and don't forget to use protection no matter how desperate you become. Now, click here for some booty.

Q: Dear Doc,
I do well with the ladies, but can't seem to close the deal and make anything last. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, please give me some advice.


A: Dear Reader,
First of all, you should know that you are not alone. Many guys have trouble winning in the dating game. Luckily for you, I've been studying the game for over 20 years and have built "The System" to help guys just like you get the girl of your dreams. Give it a try, you've got everything to gain. Read more here.

Good luck,
Doc Love

Q: Where do you find your Single Woman of the Week?

A: The women featured in our "Single Woman of the Week" section appear as a result of two things:

1) They ask AskMen.com to feature them. We receive hundreds of requests every month from women who want to be featured on our site because they are single, looking for love, or just want a friend. Once our editing staff selects a candidate, we contact her and run the feature.

2) We approach certain women that are referred by staff, writers and employees of AskMen.com across the world. When we find an interesting woman who is single and looking for love, we often approach her for a feature. Once our candidate agrees, we again proceed with running the feature.

We strongly encourage all of the women featured to get a membership with an online dating service, and the vast majority do so, but due to concerns over their own privacy, security and safety, they might not use the same name or handle as the one when that appears on our site.

Q: How do you give a woman great oral sex?

A: Women like it when their men make sex exciting, adventurous and spontaneous, and this includes oral sex. If you do it right, she will never let you go! You can have a small penis and still be brilliant sexually! It doesn't matter how gorgeous your face is, how big your member is, or how built you are.

For women, any man who knows how to give great oral sex is worth his weight in gold. Give her the best possible oral sex and we promise you will get it back tenfold. For a sneak preview of how to pleasure a woman, read Ultimate Oral Sex or do it like the pros using their secret techniques.

Q: How can I please my woman in bed?

A: Women don't want to experience regular orgasms, they want explosive orgasms, and mechanical sex is not going to cut it. Women call it Movie Sex; The Player calls it Mind Sex, and if you follow the rules, you will no longer be asking if she had an orgasm, but rather how many she had.

By making love to a woman's mind before making love to her body, you will be putting her in a suspended state of mind that will heighten her senses, which, in turn, will show her the way to multiple orgasms.

Aside from being a skilled lover, the secret ingredient required to jump up a level from a good lover to a unicorn lover, is to spontaneously mix a little fun and games into the sexual formula.

Q: How do you make love to a virgin?

A: If you have been with other women before, you have to keep in mind that each and every woman is different. Just because Rachel liked it slow, that doesn't mean that Monica is going to want it the same way. Nor is Phoebe going to encourage you to go deeper.

When it comes to a woman that doesn't have the experience of Pamela Anderson, I highly recommend that you take things slowly and do all the sensual things way before you even think about engaging in the ultimate act of love. To learn more about sexual techniques, click here.

Q: How can I last longer in bed?

A: Practicing coitus interruptus while masturbating helps you achieve better control. Don't be shy guys, you did it when you first discovered that something other than urine comes out of your penis, and you can do it now.

Masturbation is not a four-letter word (there we go, stating the obvious) and if you want to understand your own waterworks, then you're going to have to play the "getting to know you" game with yourself.

By stroking yourself and figuring out at which point you feel like ejaculating, you can learn how to maintain your erection and avoid premature incidents. Also, you can bring yourself to the point where you feel like you're about to lose it and stop yourself until the feeling goes away. Keep it up until an adequate amount of time has passed and then let the rivers flow freely.

To learn more, read Tips For Curing Premature Ejaculation and Positions To Help You Last Longer In Bed. And if you really want to get more specific advice that works, click here.

Q: How can I make my woman have an orgasm or reach her G-spot?

A: You can get her an herbal remedy that promises to enhance her sexual experiences and provide you both with a wonderful sex life. Sounds too good to be true? Well, 20 minutes after she takes it, you'll notice an increase in her sexual sensitivity.

If you want to get this for your woman and bring your sex life to its greatest heights, then click here.

Remember that above anything else, you need to constantly talk with your woman about what's going on in the relationship. Talk to her, not at her. And listen. You'd be surprised at the improvement you can attain with such a simple feat.

A woman's greatest erogenous zone is her brain, so you need to seduce that before you begin using the product. Make sure to appreciate her being because if she feels sexy, she is sexy, and you know what that means -- a lot of bedroom fun!
