Small Penis and Sex: The Best Ways to Get it On

We live in a culture where beauty reigns supreme - we are constantly bombarded with images of perfect bodies. Even the majority of slick, shiny ads for proper attention to penis care often show a man who has the perfect body - so he must have the perfect penis too, right?

Images like that can lead to feelings of inadequacy for anyone, but perhaps especially for men who aren’t well endowed. A man with a small penis might feel as though he isn’t ‘good enough’ to please a partner. However, that’s simply not the truth! A man with a small penis can do amazing things in the bedroom, as millions of women all over the world can attest. Here’s how a man with a small member gets it done.

1) He talks. Communication is by far the most important aspect of good sex. Talk about what feels good, what positions for a small penis work best, and what a partner really wants out of their sexual experiences. Partners who are open in their discussions will be much more satisfied in the long run.

2) He makes it work. Finding the right angle can send a partner to the moon and back. So how is that accomplished? By using whatever props work to create that perfect depth and alignment. Try sex in a variety of places, and try out every variation on positions until the angles are just right.

3) Doggy is his style. Many men with a small penis find that rear-entry positions work very well for creating the utmost pleasure. Again, finding the right angle in this position is the key, because hitting that all-important G-spot can be accomplished by the smaller penis - it’s three inches inside, on the anterior wall of the vagina.

4) He loves a cowgirl. The woman-on-top position can work wonders for allowing her to take the lead and do what feels best. As an added bonus, the position puts her clitoris in easy reach, which can enhance everything else that is happening down there.

5) He knows when to lube. Using lube is great if things are too dry for action, but for those with a small penis, using a little less lube or none at all can provide the friction a partner needs to get the best sensation from their sensual play. Again, this is where communication matters - test out how much lube is enough, assuming it is needed at all, and make sure things feel great for her.

6) He uses other traits. Great positions for the small penis can work wonders for a partner, but so can other body parts. A man who knows how to use his fingers and tongue is a man who will always be able to please.

7) He isn’t afraid of toys. A man who is comfortable with his sexual prowess should also be quite comfortable with the use of a variety of bedroom toys. These sexual aids are meant to enhance, not replace, what a man can do. By understanding that and embracing the thrill toys can bring to both partners, the bedroom can be a much steamier place.

8) He is a master of anal. This is where the small penis really shines. The smaller organ is perfectly suited for back-door play, and many women who enjoy such things will want to it out immediately. A guy with a small penis should always be willing and eager to give his partner some of that intense rear action if she wants it.

Staying ready for sensual play

A small penis can be a thrill for the right partner. Keeping the private area perfectly healthy and attractive can make the small penis even more enjoyable. Savvy men will reach for a top-notch penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) and use it on a daily basis. The best creams include hydrating formulas with Shea butter and vitamin E, as well as amino acids, antioxidants and other vitamins that are easily absorbed by the sensitive skin. The result is a handsome penis ready for any sort of sensual activity.

Oral Sex for the Self: Tips for Trying Autofellatio

It’s the rare man who doesn’t enjoy being on the receiving end of some mind-blowing oral sex - and if guys are honest, it’s the rare man who hasn’t at least half-heartedly tried to perform oral sex on himself. Officially called autofellatio, self-administered oral sex certainly requires that a man practice good penis health - after all, unlike partners performing oral sex, with autofellatio the fellator knows exactly where that penis has been! But to successfully perform autofellatio, most men need to take proper preparation steps.

1) Practice, practice, practice. First off, it’s best to admit that very, very few men are able to give themselves oral sex on their first try. As with any skill, it requires that a guy practice and get in shape. So men who are serious about autofellatio should be prepared to work at it for a while before achieving success.

2) Get limber. Although having an exceptionally long penis can certainly make the act easier, more modestly endowed men are going to need to be limber. The neck and spine especially need to be working at their flexible peak. Some guys are naturally more flexible than others, so many dudes need to exercise in order to achieve a higher degree of flexibility.

3) Try yoga. There are many yoga exercises (such as the cobra, the plow and downward facing dog) which focus on lengthening the neck and spine and giving a man greater flexibility in these areas. Finding some reputable videos or taking some yoga classes can be helpful. However, be sure to take things at the proper pace; going too quickly or too enthusiastically can hurt one’s back - which is not only painful and inconvenient but which can slow down progress toward the autofellatio goal.

4) Slim down. Because self-administered oral sex involves bending the neck and spine so that the lips meet the penis, the fewer obstacles in the way, the better. Translation: a big gut is going to make things more difficult. Losing that spare tire not only makes mouth-to-penis contact more likely, it also is healthier in general.

5) Make the stomach ready. Eat and drink sufficiently throughout the day, but stop about two hours before starting the autofellatio attempt. If possible, move the bowels and urinate during that period in order to keep the stomach empty and more receptive to the bending and twisting that is coming.

6) Warm up. Do some good stretching exercises that get the body limber and in shape. It may also help to take a nice, warm bath beforehand. And keep the bedroom warm throughout.

7) Get positioned. While some men can autofellate while standing or sitting, most have an easier time doing it while lying down. After rubbing the penis erect, lie on the back on a bed. The head should be a foot or so away from the headboard or wall. Lift the legs over the head until the feet are pressed against the wall. The lower back should always be supported by the arms. Slowly walk the feet down the wall, letting the crotch drop closer and closer to the mouth. Let gravity work! Don’t stretch too far, as this might lead to injury.

Try and try again

If the goal is not reached the first time, don’t be discouraged. Many men achieve success if they keep at it.

Some men also discover a new appreciation for those who give them oral sex - and for how important penis care is. Getting up-close-and-personal through autofellatio emphasizes again that a man needs to regularly apply a first class penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) to keep his equipment good and healthy. For example, now a man knows firsthand about that stench women complain about - so using a crème with vitamin A, the bacterial properties of which battle penis odor, makes more sense than ever. The crème should also include Shea butter and vitamin E, two superior moisturizers, so that there’s no unsightly and off-putting dry penile skin to worry about.

Hands-Off Masturbation: Exploring Other Pleasure Points

When a boy discovers masturbation, he’s found a surefire source of fun for life. But after a few years, he may grow a little tired of the same old strokes and seek ways to switch things up. Often this involves new positions or sex toys, but another alternative is to explore pleasure points other than the penis. Having spent so many years attending to penis care, it may behoove a guy to also get to know other parts of his body equally well.

Pleasure points

Pleasure points are essentially any part of the body that responds positively to touch - but in this case, it’s specifically focusing on those body parts that generate some form of erotic arousal when properly stimulated.

It’s clear to see why men would focus almost exclusively on the penis as a pleasure point during masturbation. The organ is filled with all those tiny, deeply sensitive nerve endings that are just begging for a little attention.

But there are plenty of other pleasure points not directly on the penis that can also be stimulated. Men who are looking for a masturbatory change of pace are encouraged to consider letting their hands wander beyond the member. Some men are able to bring about an ejaculation solely through stimulating these other pleasure points, but at the very least a man should stroke and caress these as his own brand of foreplay before putting the matter well into literal hands.

Among the many possible pleasure points on a man’s body are:

- The nipples. Women aren’t the only ones who can get a shiver from having attention directed to their nipples. A guy can start by lying back, closing his eyes and running the fingers of one hand gently around one nipple, then the other. After a minute, engage the other hand as well. For many men, simple circular strokes is intensely arousing; others enjoy the occasional tweak or pinch of the nipple.

- The balls. They’re right there below the overworked penis, just begging for some attention - but too many dudes just let the balls hand there untouched. Cupping the balls, gently squeezing them, jiggling them or simply running a finger all over and around them is enjoyable - and easy to work into any masturbation routine.

- The perineum. The perineum is the space between the balls and the anus. This is a very sensitive area, receptive to hand stroking, rubbing and kneading. Many men find that placing one hand over the balls and letting the middle fingers stroke back and forth produces a powerful erotic response.

- The anus. It’s a shame that too many straight men get hung up on anal play, because the anus - and especially the prostate - is one of the most erotically sensitive places on the body. If a guy is alone, though, who’s going to know if he explores his posterior? Starting with one probing finger is a good idea - and making sure it’s well lubricated, of course. Those who find the experience gratifying can add more fingers or move on to a range of anal sex toys that can truly make for an intense masturbatory experience.

Keep the penis ready for action

Incorporating other pleasure points into the masturbation routine opens new vistas, but it doesn’t mean that the penis can be ignored. It still needs its daily application of a first rate penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) in order to stay healthy and peppy. Since masturbation sometimes gets a little rough, a crème with a combination of moisturizers (think a high end emollient like Shea butter and a natural hydrator like vitamin E) is needed to soothe sore and damaged penis skin. The proper crème should also include vitamin A, as the antibacterial properties go a long way toward battling persistent penis odor - a huge problem for so many guys. With supportive treatment, a man’s penis can be supple and appealing whenever it is on display.

A Red Penis Sometimes Means Red Scrotum Syndrome

A red penis can be caused by a range of factors, including balanitis, jock itch and plain old irritation from friction. There is another cause, fortunately rare, that men may need to consider, the aptly-named red scrotum syndrome. Even men who regularly practice exemplary penis care may find themselves with this unpleasant condition.

What it is

Red scrotum syndrome, sometimes called burning scrotum syndrome, is a chronic disease which tends to affect men over 50 -- although it has been found in men of much younger ages as well. When a man has red scrotum syndrome, his scrotum (and usually the base of the penis) turn a vivid shade of red. The redness is not usually accompanied by scaliness, but it is often associated with a burning sensation. The burning feeling can at times be very intense.

In addition, the scrotum and affected parts of the penis became quite tender to the touch. Sensitivity is heightened, often to a painful degree.

Red scrotum syndrome is classified as a form of erythromelalgia (also called Mitchell’s disease), which is a vascular pain disorder in which blood vessels become blocked, causing swelling and inflammation.

Discomfort

Red scrotum syndrome produces a significant degree of discomfort in its victims. In addition to the burning and tenderness, many men experience severe itchiness in the area. Because of the tenderness, scratching the itch can cause pain. Persistent scratching may in turn lead to skin peeling.

In some instances, the burning and tenderness are such that the touch of fabric against the affected area can be painful. Whether clothed or bare, sitting can be uncomfortable, as the scrotum rubs against the man’s legs or the chair, and many men with the condition need to sit near the front of a seat so that the balls can hang over and not touch anything.

While the red penis issue associated with the condition tends to be contained to the base, in some cases the redness does spread throughout the penis. This also causes significant issues, due to burning, itching and tenderness.

Men with red scrotum syndrome often find their sex lives diminished, especially when the condition presents on large portions of the penis. The friction on the penis associated with sex can be too painful for many; in turn, the movement of the scrotum during intercourse and its contact with other body parts also results in a higher degree of pain.

Causes

What causes red scrotum syndrome? Doctors really aren’t sure. Some factors which may be involved in triggering this condition include the use of topical corticosteroids, fungal or bacterial infections, and sexually-transmitted infections.

With so little information on the causes, doctors are also in the dark on other issues, such as why it tends to occur more often in men over 50. Some believe that it may have something to do with hormonal changes due to aging, but there is lack of research to investigate this possibility.

Because the cause is unknown, some doctors recommend that a man with this condition refrain from partner-based sex.

Treatment

Doctors tend to treat the symptoms through familiar methods such as mild soaps and detergents, anti-fungal medications and proper hygiene. In some cases, doxycycline may be recommended.

When red scrotum syndrome includes the presence of an unnaturally red penis, men can get some relief by regularly using a top notch penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) on the penis itself. A crème that already helps relieve normal penile itching is advised; those that promote moisturizing are best. If the crème contains both a high-end emollient (such as Shea butter) and one of nature’s best hydrators (such as vitamin E), relief from itching is likely. It’s also wise to choose a crème with vitamin D, known widely as a "miracle vitamin." The overall health benefits associated with vitamin D can improve the general health of the penis, making it more likely to withstand dermatological issues.

Sex Tips for These Autumn Months

Ah, autumn - a time when the air is crisp and leaves turn a cavalcade of colors, and men wonder what specific sex tips they can use on their partners to boost their intimacy to even higher levels. Assuming that consistent penis care has resulted in a penis that is up and game for some new activities, the following autumn-focused sex tips can enliven the fall for just about any man. And since autumn is a time when sex drives are generally at their peak, these sex tips should prove especially timely.

Autumn leaves

Sure, the image that most readily comes to mind when one hears autumn is the cascade of red, yellow, gold and brown leaves that cover the earth. With trees denuding themselves left and right, it’s the perfect opportunity for a guy to take advantage of Nature to up his sex game.

- Be a rake. All those leaves can’t just lie where they fall; they have to be raked up. If the back yard is decently private, invite a bedmate over and share physiques and leaf expertise by raking up the yard in the nude. Invite that lucky partner to help by doffing their clothes and bagging the leaves - and anything else that catches their fancy.

- Pile it on. Too shy to rake in the buff? Stay clothed but gather those leaves into a huge pile. Then grab a partner and fall into the leaves together in a warm embrace. With the leaves as cover, feel free to rub mid-sections together - and if the leaves provide sufficient coverage, let loose a couple of zippers and proceed to the main event.

Halloween

- Cos play. Why should the kids have all the dress-up fun? Partners can add a little spice to their sex lives by donning costumes and acting out appropriate scenarios. (Hint: Encourage a partner to dress as a vampire who wants to suck life-giving blood and then emphasize just how full of blood an erect penis is.)

- Bob for apples. Draw a nice hot bath for two. With her breasts bobbing up in the water like a pair of ripe apples, take time to shower them with oral attention. Start by kissing, licking and sucking on them, but feel free to move on to using hands if she likes; bending the bobbing for apples rules is fine if no one else is there to report it.

- Celebrate alone. Want a seasonal way to celebrate some "alone time?" Carve a pumpkin into a personal Jack O’Lantern - with just one hole that’s about the thickness of an erect penis. The next step should be obvious to any man who’s ever had an erection.

Cool weather

- Bundle up - and off. That tangy autumn snap in the air means that everyone will be adding a few layers. So have fun taking them off. Why not perform a Chippendale’s strip for an enthusiastic mate, removing that hat, scarf, gloves, and so forth? And once nude, be a gentleman and help the lady with her own clothes - taking extra care with those delicate unmentionables.

Autumn sex tips like these can make the fall a terrific season for sex - as long as the man’s penis is ready to play. Keeping it healthy via a first rate penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) is therefore crucial. Select a crème that features L-arginine, a valuable amino acid that is known for its role in creating nitric oxide. This in turn helps to open up penile blood vessels and keep them ready for that all-important blood flow that sustains erections. If the crème also contains vitamin C, so much the better; this vitamin is a key component for collagen production and erectile tissue function. Enjoy the fall!

Penis Skin Care is Not the Only Way to Boost Fertility

Whether a man is still on the fence about becoming a father or has already made the choice to have some little ones in the near future, increasing the chances of successful swimmers is an important goal. Boosting fertility can involve many different approaches to overall health, and of course, good penis care is essential. These tips will not only help boost the chances of making someone pregnant, but can also help ensure the best penis skin care, so doing all that ‘work’ to create a baby will be even more enjoyable.

1) Eat the right foods. Certain vitamins and minerals are vital for sperm production, and a man who eats all the right foods can look forward to more success. Vitamin B9, also known as folic acid, is found in fortified cereals, leafy green veggies and fruits like avocado, banana and citrus.

2) Lose some weight. Studies from Harvard have shown that men who are overweight or obese tend to have lower sperm counts than those who are at a healthy weight. Not only does losing the pounds help boost fertility, it can also help boost things in the bedroom, which offers more opportunities to achieve pregnancy.

3) Have coffee in moderation. It’s okay to have the morning cup of Joe, but don’t have too much. Researchers have found that those who have less than one cup of coffee per day have higher fertility than those who drink two cups or more. Having only up to 300 mg of caffeine each day is safe when trying to conceive - that’s between one and two cups of typical coffee.

4) Sleep in sometimes. Men who get more sleep tend to have higher levels of testosterone, which translates into better fertility. Those who get more sleep also tend to have better sperm counts, which certainly matters when it’s time for baby-making.

5) Keep things cool down there. Sperm needs the right conditions to develop properly, and that includes the perfect temperature. That temperature is actually several degrees lower than typical body temperature, so it’s important to keep the boys cool and comfortable. Good penis skin care can also help ensure that things don’t get red, inflamed or otherwise troublesome down there.

6) Plan outdoor exercise. Getting outside is good for anybody, right? It depends on the environment. Exposure to various fumes, including diesel fumes, can affect the quality and shape of sperm. Ozone and air pollution can also be a culprit. Exercise away from main highways or busy roads, and try to exercise first thing in the morning, when ozone and air pollution levels are lower.

7) Wrap it up. Not ready to have kids yet? Make sure to practice safe sex each and every time. Only one incidence of a sexually transmitted infection is enough to compromise fertility, especially since many infections have no initial symptoms. Consider safe sex a gift to the future partner and kids.

Boosting fertility and improving penis skin care

Good penis skin care should always be included as part of day-to-day overall health care. Use a gentle cleanser on the area every day, and dry carefully and thoroughly after showering to avoid bacterial or fungal issues. Always wear comfortable, well-fitted underwear and avoid anything that might lead to injuries in the penile area.

Men interested in the best fertility should also invest in a high-quality penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) that can be applied every day. The best creams contain absorbable vitamins, including A, C and D, as well as skin-softening ingredients, such as vitamin E and Shea butter. Creams designed for good penis skin care will also include powerful antioxidants and amino acids that will boost skin health, ensuring the penis is ready for action when it’s time to attempt conception.

Penis Problems 101: An Informative Primer

Occasional penis problems are almost always going to happen to a guy, and that’s okay - it’s a normal part of day-to-day life. Good penis care can help alleviate many problems, such as the red, dry and irritated penis. But even with the best of care, there will be times when penis problems show up with little to no warning. The good news is that most of these problems can be easily remedied or even avoided with some extra attention to the causes. Here are the most common reasons for penis problems.

1. Somebody’s been drinking! Alcohol can lead to amorous thoughts, and it can also lead to being unable to act on them. Not being able to get it up after a night of drinking is aptly referred to as ‘whiskey dick.’ Remember that any type of alcohol is a depressant, and studies have shown that an overload of alcohol on a regular basis can actually increase the odds of developing erectile dysfunction. Lay off the booze and this penis problem will go away.

2. It’s over too soon. When being intimate with a partner, sometimes the excitement is just too much, and holding back is impossible. That’s okay once in a while (and might even give your partner a sense of pride!), but if the grand finale is always over too soon, there are a few tricks to try. Consider masturbating for round one, or use condoms to cut down on sensitivity. Stop-and-go techniques work too, and as an added bonus, it’s a fun challenge.

3. It takes too long. Delayed ejaculation is defined as sex that lasts for 30 to 60 minutes with no end in sight, or being unable to get off at all. There can be several causes for this, including certain medications, anxiety, stress or depression. If masturbation works just fine but sex doesn’t, it might be time to back away from the self-pleasuring for a while and see what happens.

4. Things are itchy down there. One of the most common penis problems, penis itching can have numerous causes; a few include jock itch, a fungal infection, allergic reactions, strong fragrances, a new detergent, or even thrush. The process of elimination is the best way to figure out the culprit. If things don’t clear up after all the usual suspects have been ruled out, it’s time to visit the doctor.

5. It’s not working. If the aforementioned ‘whiskey dick’ has been ruled out but the soldier just doesn’t want to go to battle, there could be some very straightforward reasons. Stress, anxiety, not enough Vitamin D, diabetes, not having sex that often and even smoking too much can lead to temporary erectile dysfunction. Get the lifestyle factors under control and soon everything will likely be well.

6. Things are bumpy. Penis bumps are one of the most common penis problems - and in most cases, those little bumps are entirely benign. Small raised bumps that do not hurt could easily be hair follicles, blocked oil glands, or even an allergic reaction to a new cleanser. Bumps that don’t go away or keep coming back should be checked out.

7. It’s all curvy. Most men have some curve to the penis. It might point up or down or lean more to one side. A mild curve is entirely normal and as long as it causes no problems with intimate activities, it’s nothing at all to worry about. But if the curve becomes more pronounced over time or begins to cause pain and discomfort when erect, it’s time to get checked out to make sure everything is okay in there.

Alleviating worries about penis problems

As the old saying goes, prevention is worth a pound of cure. Paying close attention to every inch of the body, including the penis, is the best way to avoid problems - or to spot them before they become serious. Every man should include a specially formulated penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) in their everyday personal care. Look for a crème loaded with vitamins A, C, D, E, as well as amino acids for skin health. A very good emollient, such as Shea butter, can help ensure the skin stays as smooth and supple as possible.

Dry Penis Skin Might Result from Ichthyosis

Even guys who are not easily embarrassed can turn a bit red in the face when they have dry penis skin on display for others - especially bed mates - to see. In most cases, taking some careful penis health steps can alleviate the problem in short order, but sometimes the cause of the dry penis skin may be more difficult to treat. That may be the case when the culprit causing the dry skin is a condition called ichthyosis.

What is it?

Actually, ichthyosis isn’t just one condition; it’s the name of a group of skin conditions. There are 28 skin diseases that fall under the classification "ichthyosis," most of which are genetic - meaning that a person inherits them rather than "contracts" them from someone (or something) else.

Every form of ichthyosis is characterized by dry skin; in many cases, it is also cracked, flaky or scaly. (Ichthyosis is derived from a Greek word that means "fish," mainly because some forms of the disease make the skin exceptionally scaly.)

But just because a guy has ichthyosis doesn’t automatically mean that his penis resembles some creature from the Black Lagoon. There can be a huge variance in the degree of severity from one kind of ichthyosis to the next and from one person to the next. As a matter of fact, the most common form, ichthyosis vulgaris, is generally very mild and often indistinguishable from common everyday dry skin.

Symptoms

The symptoms of ichthyosis are familiar to anyone with dry skin. There is often itchiness, redness, cracking, and dryness. In severe cases, blistering and infection are common. Fortunately, severe cases are relatively rare and most of the time they do not manifest directly on the penis.

If a man has ichthyosis that is affecting his penis, it is most likely going to be similar to regular dry penis skin. However, whereas dry penis skin tends to go away with treatment, ichthyosis can create a more stubborn dryness in the penis skin. That’s because the genetic nature of most cases of ichthyosis mean that a person tends to treat the symptoms rather than the disease itself. Because of this, dry penis skin due to ichthyosis tends to require more regular and consistent treatment in order to keep the dryness at bay.

Treatment

Except in severe cases, treatment typically requires keeping the skin hydrated. Individuals with dry skin should drink plenty of water, especially on hot days when they have been sweating or when they have been in heavily air conditioned areas. (Air conditioning can dry out skin.) They should also be sure that any soaps and detergents used are gentle and do not contain harsh ingredients that can add to dry skin issues.

With dry penis skin, whether due to ichthyosis or not, men need to regularly use a top notch penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). The best crèmes can significantly aid in continued hydration of the member. For example, a crème that contains a combination of a high end emollient (such as Shea butter) and a natural hydrating agent (such as vitamin E) can create a "moisture lock" that battles dry penis skin and keeps it supple and stretchy. It also helps if the crème contains a range of other vitamins (such as A, B5, C and D) and a potent antioxidant (like alpha lipoic acid), as these all work together to ensure the continued health of delicate penis skin. Alpha lipoic acid is known to help battle free radicals, which cause oxidative stress and which can severely traumatize penis skin, adding to dry skin woes. Use of a penis health crème is de rigeur for any man whose penis skin needs help.

Sore Penis or Penis Fracture – Here’s How to Know

Many men know the feeling of a sore penis. It usually happens after an extended or rough sex session, when the penis skin is irritated from constant friction. A sore penis can also result from a variety of other causes (none of which are nearly as much fun!). This might include rigorous exercise, wearing a new style of underwear, masturbating too often or even sleeping in an awkward position. Good penis care is usually all it takes to remedy the problem of a sore penis rather quickly.

Sometimes a penis can become so sore that it makes a man wonder if he has suffered a penis fracture. This cringe-worthy injury involves serious damage to the penis as a result of significant trauma, usually during sexual activity. Just how clear is the difference between a sore penis and a penis fracture?

Sore penis or penis fracture?

Make no mistake: If it’s a penis fracture, there will be no doubt. A sore penis, no matter how bad the soreness might seem, is a leisurely walk in the park compared to a penis fracture.

A sore penis often has other signs associated with it. There might be redness and dryness, irritation, and even peeling of the penis skin. There could be some abrasions as well. Slight swelling and some very sensitive and tender areas are also hallmarks of a sore penis. In most cases, it will be evident why the soreness is there - such as an adventurous evening with an enthusiastic partner.

A penis fracture is much more serious. That seriousness is often evident immediately, as there will be a ‘pop’ or ‘crack’ sound accompanied by excruciating penis pain. An erection will immediately vanish, but might be replaced by significant and painful swelling. The penis might also bend to one side or the other.

The fracture usually happens when the penis slips out of the partner during sexual activity, and then winds up bending against the pelvic bone on the next thrust. Too much pressure and a fracture is the result.

But how can it be a fracture? After all, there are no bones in the penis!

Here’s what happens: The penis becomes hard thanks to blood flow through two cylinders of spongy tissue known as the corporal body. The pressure of the blood in the corporal body is what keeps the penis rigid during an erection. The corporal body is encased in the tunic, a tough protective outer membrane.

When a penis fracture occurs, that ‘pop’ is the tunic rupturing. As soon as that happens, the corporal body loses the ability to stay firm, which leads to a very quick loss of erection. The penis might bend at the area of the fracture. It might also lead to immediate and serious bruising - or even some bleeding, if the fracture is severe enough.

Cures for sore penis or penis fracture

A penis fracture is a medical emergency. When it happens, go straight to the emergency room. Remember that the pain can be severe, so it might be best to ask someone else to make that drive to the hospital - blacking out behind the wheel would definitely make a bad situation much worse! In most cases, surgical repair will be necessary to help ensure proper sexual function in the future.

Obviously a sore penis is a much easier situation to handle. A high-quality penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) can help reverse the damage and turn irritated skin into the smooth, supple skin it was meant to be. This can be achieved through powerful vitamins and nutrients, such as vitamin A, D, and E, applied directly to the skin in a strong moisturizer, such as Shea butter. Continue using the penis health crème on a regular basis after the skin has returned to normal - this will ensure that the penis stays as healthy as possible.

Low Sex Drive in Men: Is Low Testosterone to Blame?

Every man knows how it feels to go through a period of low sex drive. We’ve all been there. Even a man who takes great care of himself, exercises properly, eats right, stays healthy, has a satisfying intimate life and practices excellent penis care can sometimes find that sex is the last thing on his mind.

Fortunately for most men, that low sex drive lasts for only a little while. Peace of mind is also easy to come by, because it is usually clear exactly what caused it. Serious stress at work, being too tired to think straight, and even being anxious about an upcoming meeting or event can be enough to make a man want to say, "Not tonight, honey."

Give it a few days, and things are right back to normal!

Low sex drive that doesn’t go away

But sometimes, that low sex drive in men just lingers. It might ebb and flow a bit, but for the most part, the interest in any intimate activities with a partner has significantly diminished. There is no apparently physical or medical cause. There is no psychological issue. There is just the sad silence of a sex drive that has vanished.

Anyone in this situation should start looking into what low testosterone levels can do.

Low testosterone, also known as Low-T, can lead to a very low sex drive in men. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg: Low-T can also lead to fatigue, difficulty concentrating, mood changes, a decrease in muscle and bone mass, infertility, and an inability to get it up. To make matters worse, the mood changes caused by Low-T - especially depression - can make a man really not care that his sex drive has tanked.

A low sex drive in men caused by low testosterone is much more common than most men think. Over three million men are diagnosed with it each year. Men tend to have peak testosterone levels at age 20, and then see a very gradual decline through the age of 40. After that, testosterone levels might drop faster with each passing decade.

But knowing that testosterone gradually drops is not cause to believe that the sex drive has fallen victim to ‘getting older.’ Men who are far into their golden years can still have an excellent sex drive! When the sex drive plummets to almost nothing and stays there for a while with no apparent cause, then it’s time to worry, no matter the age.

What if low testosterone is the problem?

If any of the above symptoms are present in addition to the plummeting sex drive, it’s time to see the doctor. Low testosterone can be detected with a simple blood test. The doctor then might perform further tests to figure out which treatment is best. For most men, treatment consists of simple hormone replacement therapy. This might consist of pills, patches, topical gels, implantable pellets, injections, or even applying a testosterone ‘putty’ treatment to the area above the top teeth. The proper treatment depends upon how bad the problem is, how well a man tolerates various hormone supplementations, and other factors.

While a man is taking care of his testosterone needs, he should also be looking to other ways to improve his physical and emotional fitness. In addition to regular sleep, good exercise and a healthy diet, men should add a good penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) to their everyday care regimen. The best nutrient cream will contain vitamins, such as vitamin E for soft skin, vitamin A for anti-aging, and vitamin B5 for cell metabolism and maintenance of healthy tissue. Natural enzymes and amino acids, combined together with the vitamins in a strong emollient like Shea butter, can help men rest assured that they are taking good care of their penis health.

Bent Penis: The Best Sex Positions

The functionality of the penis is a big deal to most guys, which is one reason why possessing a bent penis can be a source of legitimate concern for many men. This can be especially true when it comes to how a bent penis may potentially alter the mechanics involved in intercourse. While practicing proper penis care is always advised to help with many common matters, in this instance an exploration of appropriate sex positions may prove especially helpful.

How bent?

It’s important to realize that some curvature of the penis is normal. True, there are some men who possess a member which is totally straight when erect; however, it also is quite common for there to be some leaning to the left or right, or up or down. So curvature itself is not a problem; an issue arises only when the curvature presents to a degree that can potentially impede the penis’ proper placement during sexual activities.

When the bend is potentially problematic, it may mean that adjustments need to be made to find the best sex positions. The following are some of the sex positions which may be more accommodating to a bent penis.

1) Sideways missionary. This position often works when a man’s penis curves to the side (either left or right). It’s a "mixed use" position, with the woman lying on her side, knees bent and the man lying atop her in the traditional missionary position. (The side that the woman lies on will depend on which way the penis curves). By essentially creating a situation in which the participants are at a 90 degree angle, this position helps to compensate for the bend to the side of the manhood.

2) Doggy style. If the bent penis curves in a downward slope, rear-entry positions tend to be ideal. Again, this allows the curvature of the penis to more naturally follow the vaginal lay. It also allows the male greater freedom to re-position himself - in some cases, literally keeping him on his toes - to change the angle of thrust as needed.

3) Sitting straddle. For men with an upward curvature, a woman-on-top position can be very helpful. One of the best involves the male sitting, possibly leaning back a bit and bracing himself with his hands or elbows. The woman straddles the male and lowers herself onto the penis, using her hands to guide the member as needed. This position can also be beneficial for penises that curve downward. With a downward-plunging member, the woman again sits atop the man, but faces away from him.

4) Standing straddle. As the name implies, this is similar to the sitting straddle - except the man is standing rather than sitting. It’s another position that works best for an upward-curved penis, although some limber women have found that they can better accommodate a left- or right-leaning penis in this position as well.

Finding the right fit

Most men with a bent penis find the sex positions that work best for them with only a little experimenting. Sometimes, however, the penis can become more bent over time, often a result of rough sex, in which aggressive action causes small traumas which create scar tissue when they heal. Sometimes this tissue causes the penis to bend.

While finding good sex positions for a bent penis is an excellent idea, so is working to prevent scar tissue from adding to the degree of curvature. In addition to avoiding too-rough sex, it pays to apply a superior penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) to the member. A crème that contains acetyl L carnitine is essential; this neuroprotective ingredient helps to heal the peripheral nerve damage that results from too much rough sex and which can contribute to the formation and build-up of scar tissue. The crème must also contain an array of moisturizing ingredients, such as vitamin E and Shea butter, which hydrates the skin and keeps it supple, so that it can stretch and better withstand the effects of scarring.

Penis Rash May Be Allergic Reaction

Not only is a penis rash likely to cause itching and discomfort; it also creates embarrassment for men who are hoping to make a good impression when revealing their sexual equipment to a partner. Since avoiding penis rash (and treating it when it occurs) is essential to good penis health, it pays to know about potential causes - including the fact that it may be due to an allergic reaction.

Sensitive penis skin

Penis skin is one of the most sensitive areas on the body. It’s typically thinner than the skin on other body parts and it’s also loaded with nerve endings. Both of these factors increase the organ’s susceptibility to allergic reactions.

So what are some of the more common allergic causes of penis rash?

- Laundry products. While statistics are not kept on such things, it is quite likely that the most common allergic reaction for penis skin is related to the use of laundry products. Many detergents and fabric softeners are loaded with chemicals that are intended to create a fresher, cleaner smell in fabrics. But the fragrances used for this purpose can be anathema to delicate penis skin. Using unscented products, with the mildest ingredients, is advised for men with penis rash.

- Soap. Similarly, some soaps come on too strong for the penis. What is needed is a soap or body wash that cleans but that doesn’t contain strong perfumes, or doesn’t go overboard on the "antibacterial" promise. Eliminating bacteria is important, but sometimes soaps use chemicals that are too harsh for accomplishing this goal.

- Bling. Some metals can create an allergic reaction, and this is especially true of nickel. Nickel is used extensively in jewelry, so if a partner wears a ring containing it while stroking a man’s penis, a reaction may occur. This is also true if a man uses a cock ring that contains nickel in its metal mixture. More indirectly, the buttons on button-fly jeans may contain nickel.

- Pollen. Nature is wonderful, but at certain times of year it can be too much of a good thing. Pollen, for example, or tall grasses, can create rashes on sensitive skin - and this is true of penis skin as well. One doesn’t have to be a naturist, wandering naked through a field, to come down with this; often the pollen can make its way to the penis despite the presence of clothing.

- Bug spray. It’s important to keep mosquitos and other insects away, especially during the summer, but a guy should be careful; when applying the spray near his crotch. The harshness of these chemicals can easily result in a rash if one is not careful.

- Condoms. Very sad to say, some men have an allergic reaction to latex, so covering the penis in a condom made of that material is likely to produce a severe reaction, usually very quickly. Men with this particular allergic reaction need to be careful to use non-latex condoms. On a different note, some couple experiment with flavored condoms - often with no consequences. However, men should be aware that the ingredients used to provide a nice flavor may cause some penises to "rash out."

A penis rash due to an allergic reaction needs to be treated promptly - first by identifying the cause of the reaction and then by stopping contact with that trigger. Meanwhile, guys also need to start the healing process and stop the itch that results from the rash by employing a superior penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) regularly. The sore, dry skin needs to be rehydrated, so using a crème with a combination of potent moisturizing ingredients like natural shea butter and vitamin E is absolutely key. In addition, the skin needs to get revitalized by using a crème with alpha lipoic acid, a necessary antioxidant that battles the free radicals that cause penis cell damage and slow down the healing process.

Itchy Penis at College: Keeping the Jock Itch Away

Most guys experience some form of jock itch during their adolescence, a situation which can make an already itchy penis even worse. Unfortunately, jock itch is just one of those annoyances that men are prone to; however, that doesn’t mean there aren’t some penis care tips that can help alleviate this problem - especially when a dude is away at college, where opportunities to pick up a fungal infection are rampant.

The college years

Although many guys have some form of communal living experiences before they go to college - summer camp, sleep-away baseball games, etc. - there’s nothing quite like going to college to really learn about living with other guys. Whether it’s the roommates in one’s suite or the entire building in a men-only dormitory, college usually puts guys together in living situations that tend to vary from what they experienced growing up.

The jock itch factor

So what does the situation of guys hanging out more with guys have to do with an itchy penis? Well, it essentially means dudes are simply going to be in closer contact with each other - and therefore sharing things. And it’s the sharing part that can cause jock itch to go wild.

Not that this is intended to knock the whole idea of sharing. One of the good things about communal living is that sense that "we’re all in this together." Sharing a brewski or borrowing a roommate’s coat is great. But where jock itch is concerned, there need to be a few pesky boundaries.

The bathroom

Let’s start in the bathroom. It’s not uncommon for friends to share each other’s towels. When they’ve been properly laundered, that’s usually fine. But be realistic: how often to guys at school do laundry? Borrowing a bud’s towel to dry off one’s manhood is risky; if he has jock itch, it’s easy for it to transfer to his towel and from there to the penis of anyone using that towel.

Same thing applies to soap. It doesn’t take a genius to see that if a guy with the itch rubs a bar of soap all over his goods, there’s a good chance anyone using that same bar on his own junk is going to come down with an itchy penis that won’t quit.

And don’t forget about razors. If a mighty manscaper runs his razor through the itch zone, you definitely don’t want to do the same to your crotch with his razor.

The dorm room

What kind of things should a guy keep an eye out for in the dorm room? A big one: sharing underwear. This is a no-no for many health reasons, but too many college guys do it because they’re too lazy to do their own laundry. It’s a disaster waiting to happen.

But the same applies to borrowing bedsheets. Unless they have been freshly laundered, they’ve been spending a lot of hours nestling against a guy’s privates - and if those privates are itching, so too might be the privates of the dude that borrows them.

And here’s one to think about: lube. Hey, a lot of roommates end up watching porn together and masturbating. A guy needs to be lubed up for sure, but think about it: is it wise to pump out a little lubricant after it’s been handled by a friend who’s been scratching his crotch non-stop all week? Don’t cheap out; spend a few bucks for a private stash of lube instead.

Even with proper prevention, many will still get jock itch and be dying to scratch that itchy penis. Using a top drawerpenis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven safe and mild for skin) can help alleviate the need to scratch. When the penis skin is properly hydrated, it’s able to heal more quickly and is less prone to itching, so using a crème that contains a combination of moisturizers (such as vitamin E and shea butter) is well advised. Selecting a crème that also includes vitamin B5 also aids in the healing process of penis skin, thanks to its unique affinity for skin cells. With the right penis health crème, the itchy penis can be brought to bay.

Penis Health 101: The Lowdown on Using Vitamins for Penis Enlargement

Anyone with a penis has wondered about their size at some point. That wondering often leads to a quick internet search for all sorts of things related to penis health, including vitamins for penis enlargement, penile implants, and other things that promise the ultimate in penis health - and of course, size. But do any of those claims of massive enlargement hold true?

The short answer: No way.

The long answer is a bit more complicated than that. Yes, there are things that can enhance penis care and health. The right penis health crème, for instance, can lead to a more handsome and healthy penis. But if a man chooses a crème simply for potential vitamins for penis enlargement, that’s a pursuit that will end in serious disappointment.

Do vitamins for penis enlargement exist?

Though there are several fly-by-night companies that swear they have the pills, creams, supplements and witch doctors that can make a penis bigger than nature intended, the truth is that they are all liars. While the right vitamins are integral to penis health, they do nothing to change the size of the member.

However, keep in mind that a healthy penis is absolutely essential to a satisfying romantic life and overall health. Therefore, keep these vitamins in mind:

1) Vitamin C. This wonder vitamin can do incredible things for the body. From warding off colds to repairing tissues throughout the body, there is a very good reason it is mentioned by doctors as a great supplement. Vitamin C can promote collagen health, which might help in some mild cases of mle dysfunction. Deficiencies in Vitamin C might also lead to a lowered sperm count, so start eating more oranges if conception is in the future.

2) Vitamin E. Known for centuries as a vital part of everyday health, Vitamin E keeps skin supple and smooth. As a bonus, it might also help those who suffer from Peyronie’s disease. This severe curvature of a hard member can lead to pain during tumescence, penetration and emission. Though Vitamin E does not cure it, when used in conjunction with medical treatment it can help alleviate the bothersome symptoms.

3) Vitamin D. Often called the ‘sunshine vitamin,’ Vitamin D is great for natural skin hydration. That’s why it is such a great ingredient in a man’s personal care regiment. It is also a powerful antioxidant, which helps protect cells by making them less prone to damage. This works throughout the entire body, so definitely include this one in the day-to-day health regimen.

4) L-arginine. This nutrient with the strange name is vital to penis health. In order to achieve tumescence, the penis must fill properly with blood. L-arginine helps ensure this happens by regulating the process. In addition, science has shown that low levels of L-arginine can lead to impotence - in which case, the worries about penis size are cast aside in light of a much bigger issue.

Choose the right vitamins for good health

Though there are numerous supplements available over the counter that a physician might encourage, they are all designed for overall health. A savvy shopper will look for a powerful penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) to keep the skin as smooth, supple and healthy as possible. A good penis health crème will include the vitamins that matter most, such as A, C, D and E, as well as amino acids to help build tissue and L-arginine to help keep things moving smoothly. All of these great vitamins should accompany a powerful moisturizer, such as Shea butter, that will lock in moisture and allow the nutrients time to penetrate the sensitive skin. Keep in mind that though these vitamins will help ensure top-notch penis health, they will not add any length or girth to the member. The smart man knows better than to buy into pipe dreams; be extremely wary of any product that claims penis enlargement is possible.

Penis Rash Concerns: Time to Get Tested for STDs?

One of the most frightening issues facing any sexually-active man is the possibility of contracting an STD. Even when men take good care of their penis health by using condoms and choosing sexual partners carefully, the threat of STDs can loom large. Most of these announce themselves with pain, itching, redness, soreness, small blisters, discharge, and many other symptoms that will almost immediately send any smart man straight to the doctor’s office. Fortunately, most of these infections are fully treatable.

There are some, however, that stay entirely silent. These STDs don’t lead to a penis rash. They don’t lead to an itchy penis. There is no discharge or redness. There are no bumps. In fact, they lead to nothing at all that might indicate they are there, lurking in the reproductive system.

Seeking out the silent STDs

We talk a great deal about good penis care and how important it is to maintain a healthy member. One very important aspect of that good care is to get tested for STDs on a regular basis. Here are four good reasons why.

1) Trichomoniasis. This is the third most common STD in the United States, and only about 30 percent of those infected know they have it. ‘Trich’ is caused by a tiny parasite that can be passed quite easily between partners. It can hang around for years with no symptoms at all. Even more troubling, it can actually increase the chances of contracting other STDs. The few who do have symptoms usually complain of itchy penis, burning, and discharge.

2) Genital herpes. One in six people have genital herpes, and experts believe that 80 percent of those who have it aren’t aware of their STD status. In most cases the symptoms do show up but are mild enough to be confused with ingrown hairs, jock itch, or even acne. The scariest part is that herpes can be spread through any intimate skin-to-skin contact, even if there are no sores or blisters to hint that herpes might be present.

3) HPV. The human papillomavirus is by far the most common STD. In fact most people wind up with HPV at some point during their lives. There are rarely any symptoms for the over 40 types of HPV that are typically transmitted. The bad news is that HPV can lead to deeper problems, such as cervical cancer. The good news is that 90 percent of all HPV cases are cleared by the immune system within two years.

4) Zika. Though the Zika virus is not technically an STD, recent studies have found alarming evidence that it can be transmitted through sexual activity for several months after the symptoms have disappeared. To make matters worse, most who contract Zika have no symptoms at all. The virus might not lead to any problems for most, but it can be absolutely devastating for pregnant women or those who want to become pregnant. There isn’t really a test for Zika just yet, so in the meantime, make sure to use condoms when having sex with a woman who might become pregnant, and abstain from sex altogether when a woman is already expecting.

Proper penis care includes STD testing

Maintaining the best penis health also means maintaining the best overall health. That’s why regular STD testing is a good idea. The tests can help ensure that any STDs are caught quickly and treated appropriately.

Besides taking good care of overall health, a smart man looks to home treatments that are specifically designed for the penis. For instance, a good penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) can go a long way toward ensuring healthy penile skin. A moisturizing cream that contains a strong emollient, such as Shea butter, and plenty of appropriate vitamins and minerals can help lock in moisture and provide a significant health boost. As an added bonus, a man with a very healthy penis might notice an issue long before someone who isn’t as conscientious, and thus might go to the doctor sooner if they suspect an STD.

Penis Chafing Isn’t Just for Marathon Runners

Anyone who has ever suffered from chafing can offer an earful on how awful it feels. Chafing is common among athletes, fitness buffs and even those who have the unfortunate experience of walking around in soaked cotton shorts for an extended period of time - here’s looking at you, evil blast of water from the log ride at the amusement park two years ago… Even those who practice the best penis care can experience this painful problem. Chafing can happen anywhere that two body parts touch, or anywhere that wet or sweaty clothing touches. Basically, if there is friction, there can (and probably will) be chafing. Penis chafing is one of the most bothersome of all chafing problems, because it means barely being able to move without annoyance at best - and at worse, serious pain.

Proper care prevents chafing on penis

The good news is that the right approach can cut down significantly on the amount of chafing the junk must endure. Here are some tips.

1) Avoid cotton. If the day will include serious workouts or other sweaty moments, cotton is not a friend. The same properties that make cotton so soft will also wick up moisture, holding it close. The result is inevitable chafing wherever that cotton rubs against the skin. Look instead for underwear and shorts made of a sweat-wicking fabric.

2) Get a quick shower. Any moisture held against the skin can lead to a chafing problem. Even those sweat-wicking fabrics aren’t going to leave skin entirely dry. Jump in the shower immediately after a workout, or at least change into something fresh and dry when the sweating is over.

3) Use baby powder. The cornstarch in baby powder is fantastic at absorbing moisture and making all hot, sweaty regions a little more comfortable. Penis chafing can be avoided by a quick sprinkle of baby powder in the morning and again after a workout, so keep a bottle at home and in the gym bag.

4) Try lubricants. If the idea of sprinkling baby powder all over the crotch doesn’t sound like a good time, look to lubricants instead. Many runners swear by petroleum jelly as their friction-free application of choice. Simply smear a small bit on the areas of skin that might rub against each other, such as the penis and inner thighs.

5) Use compression shorts. These shorts work wonders by restricting movement with a tight fit. This helps prevent the rubbing and friction that leads to chafing on penis and everywhere else. These shorts fit well enough to be worn in place of underwear and they look just fine underneath athletic clothing.

6) Practice excellent penis care. A powerful penis health crème can ensure that the skin of the penis is as healthy as possible - a very good thing for any man, but an absolute must for those who are very athletic or tend to have problems with chafing. In addition to applying the crème on a regular basis, take care to shower regularly, dry the area thoroughly and allow for extra ventilation when possible. That’s a great excuse to go commando at home!

Proper care for penis chafing

Sometimes, despite the best possible efforts, chafing on penis and other areas does occur.

When this happens, it is vitally important to take immediate steps to ensure the area heals quickly and stays as healthy as possible. In addition to careful cleaning, it’s important to ‘air things out.’ If it’s possible to be naked at home, get down to it.

In addition, use of a good penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven safe and mild for skin) will aid the healing process. The chosen crème should contain Vitamin E for hydration, Vitamin A for fighting bacteria, and Vitamin D for overall health. The crème should also contain a powerful emollient, such as Shea butter, that will thoroughly hydrate the skin and help ensure proper healing.

How Penis Health is Affected by Vitamin B5

It’s no surprise that maintaining penis health is a goal for so many men. After all, whether concerned with urinary function or sexual activity, a healthy penis is crucial for a man. There are numerous steps a man can take to help insure better penis health, and one of those steps involves getting sufficient vitamin B5.

What is it?

Also called pantothenic acid, vitamin B5 is one of the 8 B vitamins that make up what is commonly called the B complex vitamins. (Surprisingly, those 8 vitamins are not B1 through B8; they are B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12.) All of these B-variants are used in the conversion of food into energy, but each also has its own particular functions. For example, B2 (also called riboflavin) is an antioxidant that helps protect against free radicals.

Vitamin B5’s other name, pantothenic acid, is a clue to where it can be obtained. "Panto" comes from a Greek word meaning "from everywhere," and that’s appropriate because vitamin B5 is found in a wide range of foods - albeit often in very small amounts. Also, vitamin B5 is best obtained from non-processed foods. When a food that is rich in B5 is processed, most of the B5 is diminished.

Although it is rare for an individual to experience a clinically significant form of vitamin B5 deficiency, many people still need to get more B5 on a regular basis.

Penis health benefits

So what are some of the penis-specific benefits that vitamin B5 bestows on a man? Well, for one thing it helps to make the penis look much healthier. Pantothenic acid is proven to be effective in promoting skin health and care. This essential vitamin helps to moisturize the skin; a penis that sports dry, cracked penile skin is not a penis that is attractive to potential mates. Some scientists believe that B5 actually pulls moisture from the air into the skin, which is not the case with most hydrators.

In addition, many dermatologists recommend B5 as part of acne-fighting treatments, which is good news for those times when a pimple shows up unexpectedly on the penis. Part of its effectiveness in this area stems from an ability to regulate the production of oil from glands.

Testosterone

But B5 has value to the penis beyond its effect on penis skin. All men are aware of the key role that testosterone plays in a man’s life. It has a significant impact on a guy’s sex drive, sperm production, erectile function and testicular function. And testosterone production can be seriously affected by vitamin B5 levels.

And more

But B5 also is important to penile function in other ways. For example, it helps to build stamina, and greater stamina is necessary for longer bouts of sexual activity. By the same token, it helps to reduce stress, and lower stress levels are associated with more satisfactory sexual activity for most men.

Healthy blood also contributes to erectile enjoyment, and B5 is part of the process by which red blood cells are created. It also helps reduce cholesterol and fight high blood pressure, benefits which also affect penile functioning.

While vitamin B5 is clearly important for penis health, it’s important to make sure that men don’t rely upon diet alone for enough pantothenic acid. Applying a vitamin B5-rich penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) topically helps to deliver the benefits directly to the penis itself. Those benefits have been spelled out above; but using a crème that also contains vitamins A, C and E increases the level of that benefit. Studies have shown that vitamin B5 is even more effective when applied in tandem with these vitamins - and also with a potent antioxidant like alpha lipoic acid. The proper penis health crème can be a boon for delivering B5 in the most effective way possible.

Sex Tips: Incorporating Erotic Games Into Couples play

Any couple, whether they have been together for a long time or are just starting out, can often use a few sex tips. While many of these sex tips tend to focus on mechanical issues (where to place body parts, how to more effectively stimulate various organs, maintaining good penis health, etc.), a couple may often find equally valuable tips that focus on more playful subjects- such as erotic games for a couple to enjoy.

Erotic games can add spice to a relationship that has grown a little stale or can help a new couple learn more about each other - and have fun (and sex) at the same time. So let’s look at just a few of the dozens of games a couple could consider.

- Sex card shuffle. The two partners together come up with 12 sexy items - a particular sex position, an activity (e.g., making dinner in the nude, masturbating while talking on the phone, etc.), a specific sex toy, a piece of clothing (e.g., sexy lingerie, edible underwear, etc.) They then assign each item a number from 1 to 10, plus the jack and queen. Each player then takes turn drawing a card and the couple engages in an activity related to the number drawn. The king isn’t assigned a number; it’s the wild card and the player who draws it decides what the couple does.

- Cavalcade of Kamasutra. Players randomly select a dozen or so positions from the Kamasutra, write each on a separate slip of paper and put the slips in a bowl. Four slips are drawn, and the couple sets a timer to ring every five minutes. They then must try out each of the positions for five minutes, switching as soon as the timer rings.

- Naked Twister. The 1960s board game is even more fun when the players are nude. For more fun, substitute different body parts for hands and feet (e.g., left buttock, right ball, etc.)

- Dancing in the buff. One of the easiest games to play, but one which far too few couples seem to think of. Put on some favorite playlists, take off all the clothes and get the dance moves started. Whether shaking everything they’ve got or get up close and personal on a slow number, dancing with it all hanging out can be intensely erotic.

- Fantasy pick. On separate slips of paper, each partner writes down four or five of their sex fantasies which they have not shared with the other. The couple strips down and gets in a comfortable position - in the bed, on the couch, on the floor, etc. Each slip is drawn and the partners talk about these fantasies and what they like about them. If one of them involves particular body parts, the partner strokes and caresses that body partner whenever it is discussed or mentioned.

- Strip anything. Strip poker is a famous erotic game, but almost anything can have the "strip" feature added to it. For example, couples playing a game involving dice can make it a rule to strip anytime a certain number (say, 6) is rolled. In a card game, any time a hand is lost or a specific card is played the penalty can be to remove clothing.

A couple who uses these erotic game sex tips should find themselves feeling energized and in a good frame of mind for sex. Men therefore need to make sure their members are in good health for mutual pleasure; using a top notch penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) can help. It’s advised to select a crème that contains L-arginine, an amino acid which helps penile blood vessels to dilate and therefore encourages ease of blood flow to the penis (and throughout the body). Also to consider when selecting a crème: the presence of acetyl L-carnitine, a neuroprotective ingredient that helps protect against peripheral nerve damage resulting from rough or over-enthusiastic sex.

Erectile Dysfunction: What Every Man Should Know

Erectile dysfunction is an enormous fear of men everywhere, of any age. More than 30 million men in the United States alone suffer from it, and the odds of it happening usually correspond with age: Even with excellent penis care, the older a man gets, the more trouble he might have with getting it up.

The supplement industry has jumped on the fears of ED and pushed all sorts of pills and other medications that claim to help - but true ED goes far beyond what a ‘miracle pill’ can fix.

It’s time to get serious about understanding erectile dysfunction in order to make an empowered, appropriate decision on how to handle it.

1) Myth #1: One bad night equals a problem. Who hasn’t had a problem with getting it up? It happens to everyone on occasion, no matter how physically fit a man is or how much he desires his partner. It usually happens after drinking too much, dealing with some jerk at the office, or being so tired it’s hard to walk straight, much less do anything else. It might be ED only if the problem persists for three months or more.

2) Myth #2: It’s a penis problem. Though what is happening to the body shows up in penis problems, the fact is that ED usually stems from other medical issues. High blood pressure, high cholesterol or high blood sugar can all damage the smaller blood vessels in the body, including those in the penis. The result can be ED. Other factors might come into play as well, such as low testosterone or even depression.

3) Myth #3: Bad habits have nothing to do with this. Though it would be nice to believe that all those vices don’t reach beyond the moment, that’s just not true. Smokers tend to have more problems with ED than non-smokers. The uses of illicit drugs, marijuana and alcohol have all been linked to erectile dysfunction. Drop the habits and the penis might rise again.

4) Myth #4: Testosterone supplements work. That depends. A man who has been diagnosed with Low-T - anything less than 300ng/dl, as per lab tests - might benefit from prescription-strength supplements. However, many who suffer from Low-T also have other medical issues that can lead to ED, and testosterone won’t make those go away.

5) Myth #5: The ‘Little Blue Pill’ is the only option. The marketing machine behind Viagra, Cialis and other common ED treatments has definitely done its job, as most men now believe that those little pills are the only way to ED salvation. But for many, the pills don’t work. What then? There are many other drugs that work wonders, including injectable medications. (And no, those injections don’t hurt nearly as much as most men think they will.)

6) Myth #6: Getting it up means it isn’t ED. Not so fast there, hoss. Erectile dysfunction is defined as the inability to become erect and keep that hardness through satisfying sex. But what does that mean, exactly? Some men are able to get it up but can’t get hard enough for penetration. Others get it up just fine, but can’t keep it up very long. Some simply aren’t able to get hardness at all. All of these problems are considered ED.

7) Myth #7: This is all psychological. Unfortunately, this statement is often made by intimate partners who are confused by ED and see it as a personal slight. Nothing could be further from the truth. Men who have ED often have powerful desire for their partners, which leads to terrible frustration when the equipment doesn’t work as planned. Though ED might have some psychological elements, the problem is much more than that.

Maintaining excellent penis health

Unfortunately, there is no magic pill or cream that will ease the issues of erectile dysfunction. However, maintaining overall good health - including good penis health - is essential to ensuring that everything possible is done to curb the problem of ED. Keeping the skin smooth and supple is the job of a high-quality penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven safe and mild for skin), especially one with numerous vitamins and a soothing emollient. Look for crèmes that include Shea butter for moisturizing, acetyl L carnitine for protection, and natural hydrators, such as Vitamin E.

Can Good Vibrations Lead to an Erect Penis?

Is it possible that the Beach Boys knew something about how to get an erect penis that the rest of us didn’t? Guys who pay careful attention to articles about penis care may have noticed that scientists think "good vibrations" may be able to help guys who have problems with erectile dysfunction.

The study

This information comes from a medical journal, European Urology, which published an article entitled "Low-Intensity Electrocorporeal Shock Wave Treatment Improves Erectile Function: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis." This is a retrospective literature study, which in this case means that the scientists looked through the existing medical literature to find studies dealing with a process called LIST (Low-Intensity Shock Wave Treatment) in treating erectile dysfunction. They then examined the findings from each of the studies and presented an analysis of those findings in this paper.

LIST

So what exactly is LIST? Although some news outlets that reported on this study characterized it as an electrical shock treatment, that’s not completely accurate. Actually, rather than sending electrical stimulation through the penis, LIST sends sound waves - vibrations - instead. This stimulation is supposed to encourage an erect penis.

Does it work? The data are not conclusive, but they are encouraging. In looking at 14 previously published studies, the scientists found that 833 men were involved. Although the results varied from one study to another, when the data were examined as a group, they showed that men who were selected to receive LIST-based therapy found that their erectile function was twice as good after the therapy compared to before.

How it works

It’s significant that most of the men involved in these studies reported having erectile dysfunction due to mechanical reasons, rather than to psychological ones or nerve damage. For most of the men, impeded blood flow was the likely reason that their erect penis was not reaching its full potential - or reaching any potential at all, in some cases. So the vibration-based therapy was somehow effective in helping blood to flow more readily into the penis.

But how did it create a panacea for men with vascular-based erectile dysfunction? More studies would be needed to determine this, but one theory is that LIST helps to create new blood vessels in the penis. The vibrations get into the tissue of the penis and modify that tissue so that new vessels can form. (This process is sometimes known as neovascularization.)

Is it likely?

That’s not necessarily as farfetched as it seems. Think back on how muscle is made. A man exercises, and all those reps that he does while pushing himself cause little tears to form in the muscle tissue. When the body is at rest, it goes about repairing and healing those tears, which it does by covering it up with new muscle tissue.

Much the same thing may be happening when the penis is treated to therapy using sound waves. The penile vascular tissue is bounced around, creating little tears; when they are healed, new vessels are formed, just as new muscle is formed after exercise.

Although it will take future studies to test this hypothesis and to determine how (or if) LIST can be used safely beyond a clinical trials setting, the results do seem encouraging.

While vibrations may one day be a good method for obtaining an erect penis, men in the present need to do all they can to maintain their penis health so they can support proper erectile function. Daily application of a first rate penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) is one way to keep penis health up. The wise man will search out a crème that contains L-arginine, an amino acid that is a key component in the process by which penile blood vessels become open and receptive to enhanced blood flow. It’s also advisable to find a crème with vitamin C, a key component of collagen which is also valuable in the penile erection process.

Male Sex Toys Are Fun But Require Appropriate Caution

Sex is certainly one of the most enjoyable activities available to humankind, and it’s no surprise that many people add to that enjoyment through the use of sex toys. Both men and women can use sex toys to add a new level to either their partner sex or their masturbatory experiences. But whatever the use, men need to take appropriate caution when using sex toys in order to make sure there is no damage to their penis health.

Male sex toys

While there is a wide range of sex toys for men, the majority of them fall into a few basic categories: cock rings, vibrators, anal devices/prostate massagers and imitation vaginas. Any one of these can increase one’s sexual sensations when used safely.

However, there are potential drawbacks that men should be aware of so they can exercise appropriate caution when utilizing one of these devices.

Cock rings

One of the most popular sex toys for men, cock rings are typically a metal or plastic ring or leather strap that fits very snugly around the base of the penis (or around the base of the penis and balls). They are intentionally tight, as the tightness "incarcerates" the penis, with the goal of trapping blood and creating or maintaining a very firm and stiff erection. While some men use these as treatment for erectile dysfunction, many simply use them for the pleasurable sensations associated with them.

Many men use DIY cock rings, simply wrapping a string around the penis and tying it tightly.

When using a cock ring, men should be sure it does not fit TOO tightly. If it causes pain or discomfort, it shouldn’t be worn. It’s also essential that a ring be worn for only a limited amount of time; most manufacturers suggest 30 minutes. Use of a ring for too long a period of time can lead to penile strangulation, a medical issue which can be quite serious and require a doctor’s attention.

Vibrators

Many cock rings have vibrating functions built into them, but many men also make use of a phallic- or other-shaped handheld vibrator to provide extra stimulation to the penis. While this is most frequently used during masturbation, it can also be employed by a partner during couples sex to great effect.

When using a vibrator on the penis, it is important that a man doesn’t use it for too long a period of time (or at too intense a setting) on any one section of the penis. The pulses of a vibrator tend to be gentle when compared to the roughness of some masturbation sessions, but if used too aggressively it can lead to a raw or sore penis.

Anal devices

More and more men are feeling free to explore their anus and prostate and how these positively affect their sexual experiences. This is a positive development; however, caution is needed to ensure that a man doesn’t get too rough during his explorations. Soreness in this area can negatively impede penile action.

Imitation vaginas

One of the most popular masturbation toys, most of these devices are safe if used according to instructions. The most common issues to watch out for are using without sufficient lubrication and simply overuse.

Used with a modicum of caution, male sex toys enrich a guy’s sex life. Since most of the side effects from improper use involve rawness and soreness, regularly applying a top notch penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically tested and proven mild and safe for skin) is an important step. Penis skin that has been handled too roughly responds well to a crème that contains both a high end emollient (shea butter is an excellent one) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin E). That rough handling may also damage sensitive penile nerve endings, leading to a loss of sensation; a crème which includes neuroprotective acetyl L carnitine should help to restore loss of sensitivity due to rough handling.

Penis Chafing: Prepare Your Tool for Going Commando

Ah, the feeling of stripping off the underwear and letting all the equipment loose! Going commando is one of the first things many men do when they get behind closed doors, especially after a long day of work. Though sometimes underwear can be very necessary, especially for those who prefer to feel a little ‘hugged’ during the day, most men will jump at the opportunity to go commando if they can get away with it.

However, keep in mind that going commando for good isn’t as easy as tossing those boxers or briefs. The sensitive skin down there can only handle so much rubbing before penis chafing and other irritations begin. Part of proper penis care includes preparing the genital region to handle this sudden change in attire - and to ensure that no one else knows the boxers-or-briefs status.

Baby powder is a friend

When things get hot and sweaty down there, as inevitably they will, the perfect environment for fungus growth is created. That translates into an irritated penis with a raging case of jock itch. To stop the fungus, sprinkle a little baby powder along the genitals, as well as the inside crotch of whatever pants will be worn that day. Baby powder will help keep all that sweat at bay.

Laundry day comes more often

Going commando means there is no barrier between the jeans or slacks and the family jewels. Boxers and briefs typically ‘catch’ the sweat that naturally builds up throughout the day, and helps keep the pants clean enough to wear several times before washing. Going commando changes that, so expect to wash those pants twice as often as before. When purchasing new attire, opt for pants that are bit thicker, as they will stand up to regular washing better than thinner pants will.

Crotches get sweat stains too

Think sweat stains on dress shirts are bad? Crotch stains are even worse. This is especially common with slacks, but it can happen with jeans as well. Eventually, even regular use of baby powder won’t be enough to avoid the telltale darkness. To get rid of the stains, give pants the same treatment as shirts: Soak the stained area in a mixture of dish detergent and peroxide, then let it set for a while. Then wash it in cool water with the usual detergent.

Avoid the possibility of an eyeful

Going commando means that everything is free to move around. That also means that sitting down the wrong way might give anyone in the room quite an eyeful, especially when wearing ‘skinny’ jeans or even a well-fitted trouser. Before going commando outside the home, take a good look in the mirror. Is it possible that someone might see a bit more than they bargained for? If so, retire that particular pair of pants during commando days.

Cut down on penis chafing

The sensitive skin of the penis can be easily irritated, and there are few things that will irritate it faster than denim or other harsh fabrics creating friction down there. In order to prevent this, using the aforementioned baby powder might help. For heavy-duty problems, such as wearing a pair of jeans all day, consider covering the area with a thin layer of petroleum jelly. It might feel strange at first, but an irritated penis will feel much worse.

Use a powerful penis health crème

With all the possible penis chafing and irritation that comes with going commando, it pays to ensure that the skin stays as smooth and supple as possible. A top-notch penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven safe and mild for skin) can help ensure the penis stays as healthy as possible. A cream that includes neuroprotectives like acetyl L carnitine can help rejuvenate irritated skin, while moisturizers like Vitamin E can soothe after a long day of commando. Shea butter can also help counteract the drying effects of baby powder. It is vitally important to use a high-quality penis health crème every day in order to achieve the best results.

Interesting Penis Problems that Can Be Remedied

Fortunately for most men, serious penis problems are not something they will ever have to deal with. Beyond the occasional penis rash and other irritations, problems of the genital area are blessedly few and far between. However, there can be some penis problems that don’t necessarily cause serious issues, but can be a huge annoyance or concern just the same.

For some of those problems, all it takes is stepping up the penis care game to get things back to normal. But for a few other problems, there are a few surprising remedies that almost instantly take care of the issue.

1) The temperature game. Every man has experienced the dreaded ‘shrinkage’ at some point. Ever step out of a cold shower to see a penis that doesn’t look quite manly? The good news is that temperature plays a huge role in how large the penis is. When the temperature around the penis drops to below 60 degrees, the length can shrink by up to 50% and the girth by up to 20%. That’s enough to make a man seek out warmer climates. And in fact, as soon as the temperature rises, the girth and length go back to normal.

2) Going up in smoke. There are few things that affect your entire body as much as smoking does. Smoke is drawn into your lungs and from there, affects every bodily system, including the reproductive organs. In fact, long-time smokers can see a reduction in their penis length by a centimeter or even more. This is because smoking gradually hardens the blood vessels, which makes it more difficult for blood to flow into the penis. Stop smoking, and over time the penis will actually ‘grow’ back to its proper size.

3) Getting constant wood. Sure, raising a pup tent at inopportune times is annoying and embarrassing, but look on the bright side: The body is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. In fact, those spontaneous stiffies serve the purpose of keeping the penis skin stretchy and soft, which promotes penis health. Most men have an average of eleven erections during the day and another nine at night.

4) Facing the competition. Many men view penis problems as ‘size’ problems - frankly, they often think they are on the small side. However, the average penis size is 5.2 inches in length and 4.6 inches in girth. Men will find that their partners are often quite happy with that or even less - especially since a smaller penis tends to be preferred for more adventurous bedroom activities. Here’s an interesting fact to drive the point home: Only a measly 6 percent of men actually need to purchase extra-large condoms.

5) Weight loss can help. Those who are overweight might view their penis as being surprisingly small, but that is not the case. The fat pad at the base of the penis can become enlarged when a man gains weight, and the result is a penis that looks smaller than it used to be. Losing weight can allow a man to ‘gain back’ that extra inch. As an added bonus, losing weight can boost energy levels, which can lead to more enjoyable fun in the sack.

Stop penis problems before they start
 
Let’s be honest: every man worries about his penis. For everyday worries, good penis care can help ensure that everything down there is as healthy as possible. Keep the penis clean, maintain good general health, and opt for a powerful penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven safe and mild for skin). Always look for a nutrient crème that is designed specifically for the penis, with numerous vitamins, amino acids and supplements blended into an emollient like Shea butter. Regular use of a penis health crème can go a long way toward great penile health.

Better Sex Requires Attentiveness

Men hop into the sack all ready for some mind blowing fun for both parties, and so guys tend to be interested in things that can ensure even better sex for them and their partners. That’s one reason guys do things like exercise or engage in careful penis care - because they know it can have a payoff in bed. But sometimes men need to think a little outside the box in their quest for better sex and consider a more abstract quality that can help: attentiveness.

As has been well documented, sexual satisfaction is not solely derived from the physical aspects of the act - and this seems to be even more the case for women than for men. That’s not to say that women are indifferent to the pleasures of a man who knows how to utilize his physical gifts, or that men never want anything out of sex other than the opportunity to thrust manfully into a waiting receptacle. But it does mean that, to varying degrees for different individuals, a woman will have better sex if there’s more to it than the penetrative act - and so will most men.

Attentiveness

This is where the concept of attentiveness can come into play. In this instance, attentiveness refers to a man taking the time to really consider the kinds of things beyond his own physical endowment that might give pleasure to his female partner.

Some of these are fairly obvious. For example, everyone is familiar with the importance of foreplay and how its proper use can lead to better sex for participants. And most men recognize that if they reach orgasm prior to their partner, it’s ungallant - to say the least - to simply roll off and go to sleep rather than helping their mate achieve her own climax.

But the man interested in sex that goes beyond the mere physical wants to take attentiveness to a higher level. This requires taking the time to think about the person who will be entering his bed and considering what might make the total sexual experience more personally satisfying.

Relaxation

For example, men tend to like to get all revved up for sex, but not all women feel the same way. They often become more receptive when they’re in a relaxed state, especially after a stressful day at work. Fixing dinner for a mate and greeting her with a glass of her favorite wine can demonstrate a man is thinking about her and helping her to relax. Throwing in some of her favorite soft music can also help - and it’s the rare woman (or man) who says no to an expert massage at the end of a long day.

Be touchy

Some guys like to get their hands all over their mate, but only on the way to or when already in bed. Instead, more men should stroke their mate’s hand while talking over dinner or give occasional "for no reason" kisses.

Share the lead

Unless it’s clearly established that she prefers to be led, a man should allow his mate to take the lead on sexual matters - or to be open to "fluidity," where the one who is leading changes from moment to moment.

Compliment appropriately

Flattery is meaningless, but sincere compliments are golden (and not just to women). A partner will feel a richer closeness when the man she is with notices aspects about her that he values and shares his appreciation of them.

Practicing proper attentiveness increases intimacy and leads to better sex for both partners. A man should also be attentive to his own needs, including the health of his penis. Selecting a first rate penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) for daily use can be a significant aid in that department. The best crème will contain acetyl L carnitine, a neuroprotective ingredient that fights peripheral nerve damage and thereby protects against a loss of sensation from a roughly-used penis. Vitamin A should also be part of the crème, as this vitamin’s antibacterial properties ward off unwanted penis odor - a common but unvoiced complaint of women.
