It’s that time again… When Super Bowl Sunday dominates the U.S. headlines, and people plan their Sunday evenings around a get-together, party, or the game. It’s also a good time …

We need to get rid of the term “domestic” violence. It makes me cringe. Violence is violence.
Grohol only counts violence against women as domestic violence. The overwhelming majority of domestic violence incidents are perpetrated by women (because domestic violence also includes child abuse and elder abuse). Even if only intimate partner violence is looked at, at least as much is perpetrated by women as by men.
Good points made. However it is difficult to track the amount of domestic violence that goes unreported.
Dr. Grohol,
Taking inspiration from your article I published a post on my blog asking the question:
Does the Superbowl promote unhealthy attitudes -and Why?
I initiated the conversation by answering first with the following response:
I believe that when watched with the family, family togetherness being the primary objective, it becomes a healthy recreational activity for the whole family to enjoy. However, when the game itself takes precedence over family togetherness, the message given is that a game of football is more important than the members of one’s family (a surefire way to ruin the self-esteem of one’s family).
If you’re not too busy watching the game I’d love for you to comment. http://su.pr/33T2Vp
Have a great Super Bowl Sunday,

Interesting post, would like to say something important about penis health.
The penis is one of the most sensitive areas of the male body….and yet, ironically, the penis is also the recipient of some very abusive treatment, more so than any other organ of the body. Penis skin, over time, is expected to undergo many hours of touching, rubbing, penetrating and, quite often, aggressive behavior. The penis is frequently yanked, grabbed, squeezed and pumped. And, despite all this aggressive behavior, this sensitive organ can withstand any number of acts of which few are gentle. Experiencing all this activity you would think that the penis and penile well-being should not be ignored. Well, at least that is what you would expect. However, with most men, this is not the case. And for men who ignore the health of their penis, beware, because if penile health is abandoned then, with time, you can expect loss of penis sensitivity or penile blood vessel damage, erectile issues, dry, cracking, irritated penis skin to name just a few of the potential male organ health problems. Over the long term expect health issues in which your penis may not provide the performance to which you have become accustomed and of which you will no longer be proud.
Most of us sensible guys give the other parts of our bodies lots of attention through exercise, vitamin pills, minerals, nutritional liquids and diets to keep our bodies healthy in order to provide peak performance, physically and mentally. So you have to ask yourself, why do so many men ignore the health of the most sensitive and pleasurable part of their body? There is no logical answer, however, now is the time for intelligent men of action to step up and be responsible for their penis health care and do so before the inevitable penis health issues appear.
There are products available that have penis-select vitamins, minerals and nutrients that are ingredients necessary for proper penis health care. For information on penis health and penis health products visit, http://www.man1health.com And, please, act now, your penis health is much too important to ignore any longer.
Be fair in your write-up.
It was not Snopes that “tracked down” the Super Bowl myth.
It was the journalistic research of Ken Ringle and Christina Hoff Sommers, which Snopes quoted in nearly its entirety.
So, kudos and thanks to Ken Ringle and Christina Hoff Sommers for their dedication and integrity.
