Natural Sexual Function Boosters- 3 Reasons to Leave the Lights On

While doing it in the dark may seem more natural to some, the reality is that groping around without the light on can lead to some seriously awkward moments that can easily disrupt the natural progression of activity. On the other hand, a romantically-lit encounter can actually increase the sensuality of the experience, not to mention contributing to a man’s sexual function by catering to the senses. With the right lighting for the mood and a little attention to penis health, men can be prepared to make the most of the next opportunity in the bedroom.

Why men should keep the lights turned up during a romantic encounter
 
1. Ambience. Leaving the lights on low during a session in the bedroom -or better yet, lighting some candles - can create a soft, romantic mood that leaves a couple feeling like they are in their own little world. Adding some music to the mix can enhance this sensation even more. This focus on each other and on the matter at hand can help men to feel more "in the moment" and forget about outside distractions that might put a damper on his performance and lead to a bedroom malfunction.

2. Visual stimulation. In addition to boosting the ambience in the room, keeping the lights on allows the visual aspect of sexual stimulation to work. A large part of arousal has to do with what people see, and seeing a partner’s body can be an immense turn-on. Whether or not either member of a couple is in perfect physical condition has little to do with this; an intimate view of the other’s body parts, not to mention their expression while in the throes of ecstasy, are highly erotic and satisfying.

3. Safety. Aside from the romantic aspect of keeping a soft light on the subject, getting it on with the lights on can have very practical benefits. A view of the proceedings can prevent minor injuries like unintentional head-butts, elbows in the eye, or an accident with a zipper that can put an immediate end to the encounter and leave a guy in shock and pain.

In addition, seeing what lies ahead can help reduce the chances of a man jamming his equipment against a pelvic bone when he misses the target during an especially vigorous thrust. While blunt force trauma to the penis can certainly cause immediate pain, not to mention bruising, such injuries can actually cause bigger problems down the road. Whether or not the penile tissues actually rupture in such a case, the stress to the inner connective tissue can lead to scarring, which can in turn cause unnatural and painful bending and curving of the penis.

Prepping the package
 
While keeping the lights on can lead to a better sexual experience for both partners, many men are daunted by the idea of their partner seeing them in their natural splendor, especially for the first time. Every little mole, pimple, pore and scar can seem like a monstrous blemish to anyone who is hoping to make a good impression.

In most cases, a partner will not even notice the little things, and if they do, they are unlikely to care. However, it is worth doing one’s best to keep the penis looking and feeling its best to be ready for action any time the opportunity presents itself.

Good hygiene is of utmost importance, as a smelly penis or one that has a cheesy buildup of dead skin cells and body fluids is hardly a turn-on. Trimming the surrounding hair is also a good way to keep things looking neat and trim, as well as further reducing the chances of unpleasant odors. Smooth, supple penis skin is the most appealing, so applying a high-quality penis vitamin formula (most health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil) containing vital nutrients and skin-enhancing emollients can help men to maintain a supple-looking, responsive package.

Sexual Satisfaction: Decoding a Partner’s Perceptions



Are there ways to tell if one’s partner is sexually satisfied?

In a word, yes. The easiest way to tell if one’s partner is sexually satisfied is to ask.  Unfortunately, bashfulness and fear of hearing the wrong answer prohibits most men from taking the leap and just asking their partner. However, if the conversation took place, most men would probably be surprised to know that she is probably concerned about the same thing. While men are worrying about their length, girth and overall skills in the sack; women are worried about their thighs, breasts and whether they remembered to shave their legs.  Bottom line is: both sexes have insecurities when it comes to getting it on. While a man can’t change the equipment he was born with, proper maintenance and penis care can keep things under the hood running smoothly, so a man is always putting his best foot forward.

Common Male Insecurities

Men tend to be most concerned with their equipment.  Is it long enough? Wide enough? Does it look like everyone else’s? Will she notice that little hook on the end? Should the area be kept shaved, trimmed or au natural? However, the fact of the matter is, most women are perfectly happy with the size, shape and – believe it or not – smell of the penis.  Chalk that one up to male pheromones – unless a guy skips a post-work out shower, most women are attracted to the natural scent of their man. 

It’s not the size of the ship, it’s the motion of the ocean has become a sort of catch phrase about penis size, and it is true. A woman would much rather be with a man who is less endowed but who knows how to work it, than be with a man with a huge Johnson who just shows up. Having a few key moves in the bedroom, and executing them flawlessly, is sure to blow her mind and impress her regardless of one’s stature.

Common Female Insecurities

Women, on the other hand, tend to be concerned about the way their bodies appear. Are they sexy enough? Do their breasts look perky enough? Does this lighting give them weird shadows across their face? Believe it or not, some women choose – or avoid – sexual positions based on how they feel their body will look in such a position.  For instance, women who are insecure about their “muffin top” may avoid positions where they are on top. While sexy lingerie or the like may be “eye candy” for men, they certainly are paying more attention to what they are feeling than to what their partner’s hair looks like!

Relax, it’s Just Sex

So the bottom line -- it would seem -- is that everybody has some sort of a sexual hang up.  These tend to be more common at the start of a new sexual relationship, when everybody is feeling vulnerable and wanting to connect with the new partner; but they can just as easily be present in a 30-year long marriage.  The best solution is just to talk about it with one another.  Worrying about one’s sexual performance – or the satisfaction of the other person – is actually more likely to cause performance issues as one gets lost in one’s head.  Performance anxiety can actually lead to sexual dysfunction, and that is something nobody wants to worry about. So rather than worry that she isn’t enjoying herself, just ask. Or at the very least, rest assured that she is worried about the very same thing!

One thing a man can do to increase his self-confidence in terms of the appearance of his package is to make sure it is healthy and vibrant.  Using a high-quality penis vitamin cream (most professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil) can improve the feel and appearance of the skin of the penis, which can make a man feel more confident about his equipment and translates to better feelings in the bedroom.

Penis Care Essentials - Prepping the Package for Summertime Fun



Summertime is traditionally a time of sunshine, watersports and well-planned bouts of nudity. In a Hollywood movie, a man would be ready for anything that came his way, with no advance planning needed. In reality, the average guy needs to spend at least a little time getting ready for the changing seasons. By stocking up on summertime essentials and paying a little attention to penis care, men can watch the days lengthen with a sense of ease, knowing they've got everything well in hand for the fun that comes with summer.

Sun Safety Suggestions
Basking in the hot sun can be incredibly relaxing, and it's tempting to strip down to bare essentials in order to let those golden rays hit every ounce of waiting skin. Before stripping down, however, men should invest in a little protection. Experts suggest that a sunblock with an SPF of 30 is sufficient for most people, as it blocks about 96.7 percent of the harmful rays of the sun. All of this potential is wasted, however, if men apply only a tiny daub of lotion on their starving skin or skip their delicate parts altogether. Proper protection comes through a slathering motion, and that application should be repeated after a dip in the water or a soaking with sweat to protect the package and promote penis health.

Hydration Habits
Rising temperatures mean sweaty bodies and an increasing need for water. Those who scrimp on hydration can produce some truly stinky sweat, and the odors tend to be most intense around the penis. Those who want to end a day in the sun with a romp in the sheets might turn off their partners with their funky odors, and the night might end much too quickly as a result.

Water bottles made of stainless steel are fashionable, so they make an appropriate accessory for almost any outfit, and when they're filled with cool water, a drink is always handy. Each little sip can make the sweat a little less smelly, as well as protecting the body against tissue damage related to dehydration.

Shaving Safely
A hedge of hair can protect the penis from scratches and scrapes, but the nest can also trap odors and it tends to make swimsuits look just a little less attractive. A quick trim can help, and electric trimmers provide the safest route to good grooming. These tools have safety guards that can protect against nicks and cuts, and it's easy to set the tool to cut hair at a specific length to prevent an embarrassing hatchet job. A trim like this might need to be repeated at least once during the summertime, but the clean lines can make the work more than worthwhile.

Proper Protection
Summertime travel can lead to new romances, and slipping on a sheath is the best way to avoid contracting a communicable disease. There are a variety of condoms out there that can fit the bill, including condoms made of:

  • Polyisoprene
  • Polyurethane
  • Latex
  • Lambskin

Some are coated with spermicidal materials, others contain lubricants and still others are ribbed or flavored. A little experimentation can help a guy find the right fit, and stocking up can help him to be prepared when the evening takes a turn for the better.

Intimate Enhancement
During the winter months, heavy clothing, cold weather and lack of airflow can leave penis skin looking a little drab and dour, and the surface of this tool can be rough and scabbed. This equipment isn't ready for action, but turning around the situation may be as easy as investing in a quality penis nutrient creme (most experts recommend Man1 Man Oil). These products contain vitamins that can nourish starved tissues and reduce bacterial colonies. A quality product can also help to smooth and soften roughed up skin, so it'll be touchable and responsive, perfect for a test drive in the summertime.

Penis Allergies – Recognizing and Preventing Latex Reactions



In this day and age, sexual health is not something to be taken for granted.  Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI’s) are, unfortunately, a reality all sexually active adults need to be aware of and take precautions against.  The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates the incidence rate of new STI’s in the United States to be around 20 million cases annually. About 50% of those cases are occurring in individuals ages 15-24, with the other half occurring in those 25 years and older. While these figures are staggering, using condoms can drastically reduce one’s risk of transmitting such an infection. So what happens when doing the smart thing and using protection causes penis pain and discomfort? Unfortunately, penis allergies are a reality, so some men may need to find alternative methods of protection as part of their penis health care arsenal.

Condom Allergies: Are they for real?

While it may sound like a lame excuse to not use protection, some men – and women too – are legitimately allergic to latex.  Lubricants, spermicides and diaphragms can also trigger allergic reactions in some unlucky individuals. A negative reaction to these products may be instantaneous in highly sensitive individuals, or they may appear a few hours later, leaving the unfortunate victim wondering what may have happened to their manhood.

What Are the Symptoms?

An allergic reaction on the genitals is about as unpleasant as it sounds. Some of the possible symptoms include:

  • Breaking out in a rash in the genital area
  • Hives/red blotches
  • Itchy skin
  • Burning sensation on any skin touched by the condom
  • Skin is overly sensitive and may be painful to the touch
  • Unexplained respiratory symptoms such as: coughing, wheezing, sneezing
  • Sudden runny nose or nasal discharge
  • Feelings of light-headedness
  • Disorientation
  • Anaphylactic shock – this only occurs in cases of extreme latex sensitivity

In addition, repeated exposure may trigger the occurrence of blisters, as the body’s immune system tries to fight off the latex, and even men who have not previously had issues may develop a penis allergy over time.

A condom allergy may also lead to a urinary tract infection in some men. Symptoms of a UTI include:

  • Burning during urination
  • Itching
  • Foul smelling urine
  • Blood in urine

What to do if a latex allergy is suspected

Men who suspect they have a latex allergy should consult an allergist for testing to ensure the skin is reacting to the latex and not a different source. Since having unprotected sex drastically increases the risk of contracting an STI or resulting in an unplanned pregnancy, going au natural is not the best option.  Men should seek out non-latex condoms in order to protect themselves – and their partners – from unwanted sexual side effects. 

Two types of non-latex condoms exist as options for those allergic to latex.  Synthetic condoms, made with polyurethane, are deemed to be as safe as latex condoms by the CDC.  Lambskin condoms, also known as natural membrane condoms, are made from lamb cecum and do not contain latex. Natural membrane condoms are useful in preventing pregnancy, but it is important to note that the CDC and FDA has deemed them to be less effective in preventing the transmission of STI’s including HIV/AIDS.

Caring for a Latex Allergy

If the allergic reaction is severe, is causing difficulty breathing, or is extremely painful, medical attention should be sought immediately.  Anaphylactic shock can result in death if not treated immediately.  Milder allergic reactions, though uncomfortable and unpleasant, should clear up on their own without any medical intervention. Washing the affected area with gentle soap and water is effective in removing the allergen and preventing prolonged exposure, which will worsen the reaction.  Applying a penis health creme containing vitamins and minerals (most professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil) can also help soothe red, irritated skin while revitalizing the penis. Select one that contains vitamin E to help hydrate and repair itchy skin and quickly provide some much needed relief to the area.

Penis Odor - 5 Ways Men Can Fight It Right Now



A man's scent is as personal and as individualized as his thumb print, and many of the odors that make up a man's personal perfume come directly from the lap area. Some of these swirling scents are pheromone based, telling potential mates about the man's health and vigor. Other penis odors aren't so sexy, however, and they can be a definite turnoff to people standing downwind. While scrubbing away all traces of scent is a biologic impossibility, there are some penis care steps men can take in order to tone down the unpleasant aromas.

1. Wash Up.
Skin cells are replaced on a regular basis, and often, they linger when they're no longer attached to the tissues that once fed and nourished them. If these jettisoned cells band together, they can form a thick paste that just smells awful. Washing the penis on a daily basis with mild soap and a thorough rinse can ensure that these discarded tissues swirl down the drain before they can begin to emit any odor at all. A wash can also help to remove any leftover dribbles and drips left behind after a trip to the bathroom.

2. Let it Breathe.
Sweat glands line the crotch, flushing out toxins and keeping delicate equipment at just the right temperature. Wearing tight underwear that doesn't breathe can trap this cloud of moisture around the penis, and as those skin cells open up in response to the humidity, the scent can be overpowering. Adequate airflow can allow sweat to evaporate, so skin stays dry and relatively odor-free. Wearing the proper underwear can even make the body sweat a little less, as the refreshing breeze will keep the package cold enough that the body's cooling mechanism may not feel the need to kick in.

3. Clean Out the Filter.
Sweat is produced by tiny glands that rely on a significant amount of water. Men who don't drink enough produce sweat that's intensely concentrated, and very likely quite stinky. By adding fluids to the daily diet, men can dilute and de-scent their sweat, making their laps just a little less humid and a little less smelly. Clear fluids like juice and water are best for odor, rather than teas and coffee, which can actually make sweat smell a little worse.

4. Load Up on Vitamins
Vitamins A and E both have a vital role to play in keeping skin strong and healthy. People who don't take in enough of these vitamins can develop fragile skin tissues that are susceptible to tiny tears and microscopic breaks, and these little fissures make a perfect home for smelly bacteria. Foods high in Vitamin A include organ meats and potatoes, while a Vitamin E diet contains plenty of nuts and dried herbs. Multivitamins also contain these ingredients, and the pills are easy to take while on the go. For some people, supplementation provides the quickest route to a good diet, and a lowered amount of penile odors.

5. Try a Topical.
Supplements and dietary amendments can help to boost vitamin levels throughout the body, but unfortunately, there's no guarantee that the nutrients that enter the mouth will head straight to the penis. In fact, the body might even excrete these elements without putting them to any use at all. That's why topical applications of vitamins and nutrients are considered so vital for an odor-busting program. By putting nutrients right where they're needed, a man can bypass the digestive system altogether.

A penis health formula (most experts recommend Man1 Man Oil) contains both Vitamin A and Vitamin E, which can help to reduce bacterial colonies living on penile skin, and the emollients in these products can keep the skin soft and intact, so fewer dead cells will collect and fewer odor-filled cracks will form. After a few weeks of using a product like this, a man might notice a significant improvement in his personal scent, as might his intimate partners.
