Sex Tip: A Clean Penis to Get Down and Dirty

Getting down and dirty is a lot of fun for any man, but to do so he definitely needs to carry around a clean penis. A sex tip that is basic but most definitely important is simply this: an unclean member is not going to get the rate of action to keep a man happy. And why should it? No partner wants to be intimate with a tool that reeks or is clearly not receiving adequate and attentive penis care. Taking heed of these hygiene tips is definitely advised.

- Underwear is under-care. Hopefully any adult male reading this already realizes that changing into clean underwear daily is essential. Changing more than once a day is recommended if one engages in activity that creates a lot of perspiration down below. In addition, wear cotton undergarments that "breathe" and keep things a bit cooler down there. Sweaty undergear creates a bacterial situation that encourages strong and unpleasant odor, as well as causing damage to the delicate penis skin.

- Outerwear is also under-care. When a guy has a rocking bod, he faces a dilemma: Does he wear a pair of skin-tight jeans that shows off his muscular thighs and his firm rear but that will cause more sweat in the crotch department? It's a personal decision, but if opting for tightness, a man needs to take extra precautions to battle the odor and skin issues that may result.

- Air things out. Every once in a while, it's good for a guy to let everything hang out. Walking around the home naked allows Nature's air conditioning to disperse excess odors and sweat. Guys who are in a position to regularly expose their penis and testicles to the air in the privacy of their own home should do so.

- Do spot checks. A clean penis is generally a healthy penis, but sometimes a guy needs to do a little extra checking. Taking the time to carefully examine the package on a regular basis (including using a mirror to look at the underside of the penis and the testicles) helps to identify any spots, splotches, bumps, etc. that might otherwise be missed.

- Wash, of course. Like the rest of the body, the penis needs to be washed regularly - something which all the men reading this piece are hopefully already doing. However, simply washing may not be enough. Because the skin on the penis is so sensitive, it's important that the soap one uses is appropriately mild. Rough cleansers or soaps with perfumes and chemicals can cause dermatological reactions, such as rashes, splotches, dryness, flakiness, etc. - and those can be a big turn-off to a partner (especially where oral sex is concerned). Finding a soap that cleans without irritating is essential.

- And dry, too. After washing, a guy needs to make sure he dries off well. Using a soft towel helps to avoid skin irritation. Drying thoroughly and all over the package, including where the testicles meet the crotch, the anus and the legs, helps to prevent issues like jock itch from developing.

- Go for crème. Even a man who practices good hygiene is likely to find that his clean penis is not looking as good as it should. This is where another important sex tip comes in handy: Men need to regularly use a superior penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) to really enhance their penis health. First off, a crème with natural moisturizers (such as Shea butter and vitamin E) and with an anti-bacterial ingredient such as vitamin A is positioned to fend away both common penile skin issues and persistent member odors, two of the biggest complaints from many partners. But the benefits don't stop there. Man1 Man Oil also contains L-arginine, which boosts nitric oxide and therefor helps keep the all-important penile blood vessels open, as well as vitamin C, which is an aid in collagen production and penile tissue firmness. Rubbing in a good crème daily is an easy way to maintain the penis health that all men - and their partners - desire.

Porn Positive - How to Keep the Relationship Healthy

Frequent ejaculation promotes penis health; therefore, a man can consider masturbation a part of a healthy life. But for some men, the role played by porn can become problematic. This occurs when a man requires it in order to climax, when it interferes with his relationship or when his sex life begins to suffer because of it. Fortunately, there are practical steps a man can take to prevent the transition from pleasure to problem when it comes to his visual aids.

1) Mix it up. Many people find themselves particularly attracted to certain genres of porn - threesomes or bondage, for example. But keeping oneself open to other genres can be beneficial for a couple reasons.
For one, exploring new territory can help a man learn things about his sexuality. He may find a new interest that can improve both his solo and partner sexual activities.

Second, if a man relies on one or two types of porn while masturbating all the time, he may be training his penis to respond sexually only to the types of scenarios he’s viewing. This can interfere with his sex life and relationships.

2) Take a break. Many men find themselves pulling up a private search window every time they want to crank one out. But it can be good to skip the use of visual aids now and then and rely on imagination. This way, porn can remain a want rather than becoming a need.

3) Be honest. When men lie to partners about their porn use, they are opening the relationship up to a world of hurt. A guy may wish to keep porn use a private affair rather than viewing it with a partner, and that’s fine. But telling a partner that he doesn’t use it, or that he uses it less frequently than he does, is not the way to go.

4) Remember that it doesn’t reflect real life. The types of scenarios in porn are not things a man is likely to encounter in real life. Sure, some partners may be into threesomes or bondage, for example, but a man should never expect a partner to be into what he’s watching. He should also remember that bodies in real life don’t often look or respond to sexual stimuli the way they do in porn. Things like massive loads of semen, female squirting and large manhoods are not really that common in real life. And that’s okay.

5) Invite the partner in. Some people find that their sexual relationships with partners are improved when porn becomes something that they share. They can view it together, commenting on what they like (or what they don’t like). It can be a thing unto itself, a part of foreplay or an addition to actual sex. Some couples like to act out what they are watching on the screen in real time. It all depends on the individuals’ comfort levels and preferences.
Men should also keep in mind that frequent masturbation can interfere with their sex lives simply by leaving their tools sore and chafed. But they don’t need to lay of self-gratification for that reason. Rather, they can take a step to improve their skin condition down there by using a penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil). A product with a combination of moisturizers (like Shea butter and vitamin E) will keep the skin hydrated. That means men can enter their solo pleasuring sessions with resilient skin, increasing the odds that they’ll be ready for sex soon enough after. Plus, Man1 Man Oil contains vitamin A, which helps fight unwanted odors in the area, something many men could use a hand with.

Sex Tips for Long-Distance Lovers

Some men can’t seem to find love, or even just a lover, in their current location. Frustratingly, they may find a potential partner who happens to be halfway around the world, or otherwise distant. Whether wanting a committed relationship or not, long-distance would-be sexual partners can engage in some pretty hot action together that defies the limits of space and allows for a surprising level of intimacy. When pursuing sexy conversation with someone far away, there are several things to keep in mind, including whether visual materials will be exchanged (in which case proper penis care is all-important) and where one’s boundaries lie. The following long-distance sex tips will help men navigate this exciting world.

1) Discuss Options
When pursuing something sexual with somebody far away, you have many options, from different kinds of sexy talk to the transmission of photos and videos.
Some partners will enjoy talking about what they’d like to do to one another, either in the moment or in the future, and be content to stop there. They can build a "sex story" together; one can say what he or she wants, and the other can add in what he or she wants. This exchange can last for quite some time, and the individuals involved learn a lot about what the other likes.
Some partners want to see one another and show themselves in a variety of poses and states of undress. If this is so, it’s a good idea to ask the other what he or she would like to see.

2) Establish Boundaries
There are some types of dirty talk that some people are not comfortable with. Some people like to be called derogatory names, for example, while others don’t like that at all. Some people like to be dominated; some like to be dominant. Establish boundaries around the level of dirty talk to be engaged in.
It’s also important to establish physical boundaries, even though the two partners are not actually doing things physically to one another. First, consider that it’s possible that there will be an actual encounter in person sometime. But even aside from that, it can be uncomfortable or frightening to read about something being done to one’s body that one wouldn’t like, not to mention unsexy. It’s a good idea to define one’s boundaries, then, noting anything he or she doesn’t like, such as rough stuff, biting, name-calling, etc.
Also establish boundaries for any visual materials that may be exchanged. Don’t just fire off a dick pic or an intense masturbation video without knowing that one’s partner wants to see such a thing.

3) Temper Expectations
Sometimes, partners whose interactions have been solely or primarily online or via text may find the opportunity to be together in person. This is very exciting, but it’s important not to expect every single thing the two talked about doing at once. The two may have discussed myriad activities in the stories they developed, but one can’t expect to have 12 orgasms and the assumption of 15 of their favorite positions all in one night. If that happens - great! But both should enter the encounter with the expressed acknowledgement that there is no pressure to "live up" to the ideal stories they told.

4) Be Smart
When sending sexual photos or videos of oneself over the computer, phone or other device, it’s wise to keep one’s face out of it. Even if you trust the recipient of your precious visual gift, it’s still possible that somebody else could access a device, hack an email address, etc. and be indiscreet with the material. One can only truly protect oneself by keeping his or her face out of it.

If the partner across the way is interested in dick pics or masturbation videos, a guy will want to make sure his manhood is looking good. Some guys get dry, flaky skin, partly due to friction from masturbation. And if a man is embroiled in a steamy long-distance liaison, he may be doing a lot of that. To keep the skin vibrant and hydrated, he would do well to apply a penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) with Shea butter and vitamin E, two excellent natural moisturizers. Also, vitamin C for firm skin is a great ingredient to look out for. Keep the tool ready for the cameras with such a product, along with proper hygiene.

Anal Sex - 8 Tips for Fun, Safe Play

Anal sex certainly isn’t for everyone, but some men and women can’t get enough. For the beginner, the practice may be a bit intimidating, but partners can educate themselves about the ins and outs of posterior play to make the activity as pleasurable and safe as possible. Practicing proper anal, vaginal and penile care before, during and after anal sex is crucial, and the following information will help couples learn how to do so.
Why the Behind?
Anal sex may be appealing to both men and women for several reasons. Men may want to penetrate a posterior because it is tighter than a vagina. They may also enjoy the somewhat taboo nature of the act, and who could blame them?
Women may enjoy rear penetration for a couple reasons. First, the nerve ending around the anus are very sensitive and some find penetration stimulating. Second, there are sensitive areas between a woman’s rectum and vagina that may create pleasure when pressure within the rectum is placed upon them.
Some men enjoy being penetrated in the behind, and not just gay men. The prostate gland is stimulated during posterior play for a man, and this can be highly enjoyable. Plus, his anal nerve endings are just as sensitive as hers.
Is it Safe?
Anal sex can be safe, but special precautions are required. This is primarily because the risk of spreading infections, both vaginal and sexually transmitted, are high with anal play.
The transmission rates of HIV and HPV are higher for anal sex than vaginal sex. That’s because the anus and rectum are not naturally lubricated, so, even when a product is used for extra lubrication, tears in and around the anus are likely to occur. Broken skin gives viruses easy access to the body.
Women are more prone to vaginal infections when anal sex is involved in playtime because the rectum is full of bacteria, since its primary function is to store feces. If a penis or toy that has been in her rectum is inserted into the vagina without being very thoroughly cleaned or without a condom change, she is prone to developing an infection.
Another potential complication of regular anal sex is the loosening of the anal sphincter. This muscle allows a person to hold feces in until the appropriate time to release. If it weakens, one’s ability to "hold it" weakens, too.
Though rare, ample bleeding after anal sex could indicate a hole in the colon, which requires an immediate trip to the hospital.
Steps to Take
1) Lube, lube, lube.
2) Wash the anal area before and after sex.
3) Wear a condom.
4) Only use water-based lubricant if latex condoms are used.
5) Relax - the receiving partner will incur fewer anal tears if he or she is relaxed upon insertion.
6) Change the condom and wash the penis before entering any other orifice.
7) Know your partner’s sex history and STI status.
8) If on the receiving end, perform anal Kegel exercises to maintain sphincter muscle tone.
Taking care of the anus, vagina and penis is essential to safe and pleasurable anal sex. Another thing men can do to look out for their penises, along with practicing proper hygiene, is to use a penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) to promote good skin condition, ample circulation and nerve function. Applying such a product after showering can keep the penis pleasant to the eye and touch. A crème with a combination of natural moisturizers such as Shea butter and vitamin E is ideal for tag-teaming dry skin, both providing and sealing in moisture.

Hard Penis Science: Why Guys Get Morning Wood

When a young man wakes up, most of the time he’s not alone: His morning wood is usually there to greet him. An indicator of good penis health, a hard penis upon awakening can help get the day off to a good start. If one has the luxury of time to attend to it, morning wood can allow a man to engage in a little self-gratification. If there’s no time for play, it’s still a friendly reminder that this special friend is always ready for some a.m. fun.

But why do guys get morning wood so often? What is it that brings this pleasant state of affairs to be?

Yo, look at my nocturnal penile tumescence!
While guys casually refer to a hard penis upon rising as morning wood, there’s actually a technical term for it: nocturnal penile tumescence, although that jaw-breaking phrase is often shortened to NPT. And, like a surprising number of things, scientists have actually studied this subject in some depth.
While men frequently just concentrate on the fact that they are waking up hard, the phrase nocturnal penile tumescence refers to a number of erections that typically occur between the time a guy hits the covers and when he yawningly tosses them off. Unless a man has an erectile issue, he generally will pop three to five boners over the course of a good night’s sleep, the final one being the crowning morning glory with which he is so familiar.

It starts young.
 
While guys tend to associate morning wood with virile manliness of an adult sort, the fact is that NPT starts early. Before adulthood. Before puberty. Before birth, even. Yes, male fetuses have been observed to be sporting a wake-up call even in the womb

So…why?
The obvious answer to "Why does a guy get morning wood?" is: "Why not?" Erections happen throughout the day, so it seems obvious that they would occur during the night as well.

But why specifically do they occur at night and upon waking? Despite the studies they’ve done, scientists don’t have a definitive answer just yet. But the best guess is that it is related to REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. REM periods are times during the night when sleep is especially deep and when there is a significant amount of dreaming. REM occurs in cycles, not necessarily lasting a long time.

During REM sleep, scientists theorize that a couple of things happen that may cause a hard penis to develop. One is that special neurons (called noradrenergic cells, if one must know) get switched off during REM sleep. These are the neurons that have an inhibiting effect on the penis. So, with these neuron cats away, the penis mice get to play.

Another theory is that the body produces more nitric oxide during periods of REM sleep. Nitric oxide plays a big role in facilitating blood flow throughout the body - including in the penis. That increased blood flow is essential for the achievement of erections.

There are also theories that NPT has a practical aspect to it: It allows a man to sleep without having to get up to urinate. With the penis in an erect state, urination is more difficult.

Whatever accounts for the nocturnal hard penis, it’s a reminder for men to keep their tools in prime health. Applying a top-notch penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) daily can help with this goal. Morning wood is all well and good, but when presenting that penis to a partner, it needs more than firmness. Smooth, appealing skin rather than dry flakiness is desirable, and a crème with a high-end emollient such as Shea butter is just the ticket for achieving this. It also doesn’t hurt to give one’s natural nitric oxide production a boost. Using a crème with L-arginine can assist in this area. L-arginine plays a role in the creation of that nitric oxide that morning wood has shown can be so valuable to a man.

Penis Size: Video Shows Women Like All Types of Penises

As is undoubtedly obvious, one of the major concerns among men is penis size. There are clearly many different types of penises, and so a great deal of time is spent agonizing over whether one possesses a member that is sufficiently large or appropriately thick or that is shaped in the most appealing manner. Indeed, for some men this focus on penis size can become an absolute obsession. While there is no doubt that size is one factor in the attractiveness of a guy’s manhood, there are other factors, including appropriate penis health and the degree of skill with which he uses his member, which are of greater consideration. And, as a recently released video has demonstrated, women are not necessarily all focused on judging a man merely by his penis size.

Draw!
The website EliteDaily.com recently posted a video in which it asked a number of women to each draw their ideal penis. While some might expect that this would result in drawings of monster-sized members that take up the entire page, this wasn’t exactly what happened.
True, there were some penises that were of a size and/or girth of which most men can only dream. But there were also a number of depictions of packages of more modest size, the kind that most men are packing in their pants.

Not surprising
These results are not really surprising. Yes, popular culture likes to present the ideal male as having a rod that goes on for days. And yes, many pop culture images present women as panting at the thought of an enormous piece. Yet the reality is different.

Increasingly, women are reporting that while a mammoth penis may produce an immediate visceral reaction, in practice such a tool is not always desirable. The larger the penis, the more likely it is to produce some pain during penetration, especially when not well lubricated. In addition, massive tools sometimes require considerable shuffling in order to find a position that is comfortable for both partners.

While the majority of women are not particularly enamored by a true micropenis, most are perfectly happy when their partner possesses a rod of average size - as long as the manhood is in good health and the owner has enough know-how to use it to its best advantage.

Skill with the member is something that can be acquired with time and practice (either alone or, ideally, with a willing partner). Health is something that needs a little attention paid to it.

Health
There are some penis health basics that all men should know. For example, washing regularly with a gentle cleanser or just warm water is key, both to avoid unpleasant odors and to wash away dirt and bacteria. Practicing safe sex, including using a condom to decrease the chance of contracting STIs, is also essential.
Beyond that, all types of penises (and whatever the penis size) can be treated to a daily application of a superior penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil). This is true for all men, but especially for those who are prone to some of the most common penis health issues. For example, a man whose penis persistently emits a rank odor, even with regular washing, can find benefit from a crème that includes vitamin A. This vitamin’s anti-bacterial properties make it expert at fighting stubborn manhood odor. In addition, many tools develop an unwanted "wrinkled" look. Using a crème with a potent antioxidant like alpha lipoic acid, which offsets harmful oxidative and aging processes, can alleviate this problem. And for men whose rough handling of their tool during masturbatory play has brought about a loss of sensation in the tool, a crème containing neuroprotective acetyl L carnitine can help restore that lost sensitivity.

Penis Health and Finger Size: Is There a Correlation?

Most people are familiar with the old wives’ tale which states that a man’s finger size (and in particular that of his middle digit) correlates to his penis size. There have been numerous examples that debunk this theory, but a recent study does suggest there may be some correlation between a man’s finger size and his penis health - as well as between finger size and other characteristics.

Not totally new.
The idea that finger size can reveal hidden information about a man is not new. In addition to the old wives’ tale mentioned above, the art of palmistry - or "reading" a man and his past and future by examining his hand - has also long championed a connection between finger size and penis health.
Interestingly, the connection between finger size and penis health is not related to the middle finger, that longest of digits. Rather, the aspect that palmistry experts and some researchers focus on is the ratio between the second (index) finger and the fourth (ring) finger. Known as the 2D:4D ratio, it sometimes assumes a connection between this ratio and the size of the penis. According to this formula, the shorter the index finger is in relation to the ring finger, the longer a man’s penis.

Not so true.
While there is scant scientific evidence to back up this claim, there is evidence that this same ratio may tell one something about the health of the tool - namely, whether it is prone to receiving a good supply of testosterone. (It is perhaps this testosterone basis that gives rise to the penis size myth.)
Why should the index and ring fingers tell anything about a man’s testosterone levels? Because the formation of the two fingers is influenced during fetal development by the relative amounts of testosterone and estrogen to which the fetus is exposed: thus, the link.
There’s a flaw in this study, of course: the 2D:4D ratio remains relatively constant, but a man’s testosterone levels can fluctuate throughout life. Still, as an overall indicator of baseline testosterone and therefore penis health, it provides a clue.

Fingers reveal other information as well.
Beyond testosterone information, finger size can also be used to make generalizations about other things. For example, overall men with a lower 2D:4D ratio are nicer in their dealings with women (and seem to have larger families, perhaps as a result). In addition, there is some correlation between lower ratios and ability to excel in mathematics. (This again is supported by the idea that fetal testosterone levels are linked to the ratio; testosterone is thought to play a role in the development of the parts of the brain that favor mathematics).
Finally, a lower ratio is associated with what are traditionally considered more masculine features - another factor that has a testosterone link.

Of course, it’s important to remember that the above is the result of a small number of studies. The kind of extensive studies that provide real in-depth information have not yet been performed. And it’s also important to remember that the conclusions are generalizations; there are plenty of "outliers," such as men with a small ratio who are rude toward women, who demonstrate that finger size is, at best, just a way to make some educated guesses about a guy.

Regardless of finger size, a man can take definite steps to improve and maintain his penis health. One of the most effective is to simply use a first-class penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) on a regular basis. This can give a man an advantage over his rivals who are more careless about penis care. For example, many men unknowingly carry around an unpleasant odor that is revealed when the penis is brought forth. A crème with the mighty anti-bacterial properties of vitamin A helps keep that odor under control, so that when a woman swoons over a guy’s member, it’s not because of the rank odor. In addition, the guy who utilizes a crème with the moisturizing power of Shea butter and vitamin E will present a penis with smooth, silky skin, rather than a dry, flaky monstrosity. And THAT wins him points.

Female Orgasm: What Men should Know

Men have many questions related to the female orgasm, one of the primary ones being: Why isn’t she having them? While climax is the result of sex for most men nearly every time, women often don’t get their rocks off from penetration alone, and some may also not get there, at least every time, through manual or oral stimulation. Along with practicing proper penis care, men can improve their sex lives by learning more about the female orgasm, the elusiveness of which may be causing them to lose confidence and fear that they are inadequate. The following information can help.

1) Most women need more than penetration.
Estimates vary, but something like 80% of women do not achieve orgasm from a penis (or other object) being inside them. A woman may thoroughly enjoy deep thrusts or shallower G-spot stimulation, but these often aren’t enough to get her there.

2) The clitoris is key.
The clitoris is the gateway to orgasm for most women. A woman may prefer to orgasm before, during or after sex with either oral, manual or toy-assisted clitoral stimulation. Manual and toy play can be mixed with penetrative sex fairly easily; a couple just needs to choose positions that afford access to the region. She may want to use her own hand, her partner’s hand or a vibrator, the latter of which is probably the most likely to lead to release.

3) It’s not a man’s fault.
Some men put a lot of pressure on themselves to "make" their ladies climax. If this does not result, they may blame themselves, but this isn’t helpful or even accurate, at least not most of the time. While there are things he can do to up the odds that she’ll finish, there are plenty of other factors that play a determining role.

4) It’s not her fault, either.
Some men espouse the troubling notion that women are withholding orgasm for some personal reason, and they may become frustrated, posing such questions as, "Why won’t you cum for me?" Aside from inappropriately making it about oneself, such a line of thinking represents a lack of understanding about the many, many factors that can make it difficult for a woman to get there.

5) Don’t pressure her.
One such factor is pressure from a partner. If a man is very eager to bring a woman to orgasm, his very eagerness could be causing her anxiety, which is a climax-killer for men and women alike. Ask her what she wants and how she wants it; don’t demand a particular result.

Hopefully, one’s partner has cultivated a level of familiarity with her own body so that she knows what she likes and can communicate that to a man. She knows where her hot spots are, and the couple can work together to find ways to hit them. Even if she requires clitoral stimulation to finish, it may be more likely to happen when she’s being stimulated internally in her favorite ways. For some women, the G-spot is key; for others, deep thrusts during which the penis tip slides in front of or behind the cervix are best.
Along with learning more about her needs, a man can improve his sex life by taking an extra step in penis care. Applying a penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) after showering is an excellent way to keep the skin in good condition. Moisturizers like Shea butter and vitamin E can tag-team dry skin issues, while the neuroprotective ingredient acetyl L-carnitine may help keep penile nerves sensitive, something imperative to experiencing sexual pleasure. Such a crème will keep a guy’s manhood pleasing to the touch, which is inviting to any partner.

Sex Tips - Easing into Kinky Sex

Many couples are into the oft-maligned "vanilla" sex, referring to sex that is fairly straight up and devoid of any kinky or atypical aspects. But many sex advisors and specialists think that this is due not to a disinterest in kinkier aspects of sex so much as a reluctance to admit to having an interest. Men who are interested in some form of kinky sex (and who are prepared to practice good, protective penis care while pursuing it) may find the following sex tips useful in exploring this option.

Be brave.
People build up personas that define themselves. There’s nothing wrong with that, but sometimes people get defined in a way that doesn’t truly reflect all sides of them. This can be especially true when someone has a desire to move beyond "typical" sexual activities. It can take courage to just broach the subject of this desire, even with a partner with whom one has shared much already. But if delving into this area is important to a man, his first step is to find the courage to take the first step of talking about it.

Don’t spring it.
If this desire is going to come as a surprise to a partner of long standing, it’s best not to just blurt it out. Finding a way to ease into the conversation is preferred. Some like a "joking" way: When passing a sex shop, a man might say, "Hey, do we have time to pick up a whip and a few penis rings?" in a joking manner. But later on that night, he can refer to that: "You know when I made that joke about the sex toys?" and follow up with, "Well, I was wondering if maybe there are some new things we might want to try out some time."

Talk first.
Once the subject has been broached, if the partner is receptive, it’s a good idea to talk things through first. Talk about the things that are of interest to both parties. It’s good to set up a non-judgmental and honest framework: Both parties should talk about what interests them and how they feel about what interests the other person. Any resistance to participation should be discussed and respected. A partner should also be open about how far he or she is willing to go. And both parties should realize that they are free to change their minds - either before, during or after an exploration.

Start slowly.
Most couples find it helps to start slowly. Rather than starting off with props, for example, perhaps a little role-playing with, say, an imaginary set of handcuffs or a faux-leather bra is desirable. Some light rubbing of the posterior might be a good lead-in to actual spanking later.

Pick words.
Safe words are a good idea if the kinky sex gets a little too intense. Participants can choose a word that, if they utter it, means things have moved beyond their comfort level and they should stop now.
Know how things work.
Before employing props in one’s sex play, make sure both partners know how they work. For example, a chastity cage for the penis may be fun during some role-playing, but will be less fun if neither partner knows how to remove it.
No list of sex tips is complete without a reminder to have fun - and for men to make sure their bout of kinky sex doesn’t affect their penis health. Since soreness may result from rough play, having on hand a quality penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) is a must. A crème with a good combination of moisturizers (Shea butter and vitamin E, for example) and antioxidants (such as alpha lipoic acid) can do wonders for alleviating transient penile soreness. Also important: a crème with vitamin C, which is an aid in collagen production and penile tissue firmness. After all, one needs to refresh and revitalize one’s penis to be ready for whatever new games may be coming one’s way.

Red Penis: Causes and Treatments

No man wants to whip it out and find he has a red penis. Sometimes, the discoloration is simply caused by the friction of a man’s hand, and a bit of redness can be expected after going at it hard (either solo or with a partner). But when the redness doesn’t subside and presents with other symptoms, it may be a sign that treatment is called for. Proper penis care dictates seeing a doctor for an accurate diagnosis when a problem arises. The following list of causes does not replace that step, but simply gives men an idea of what may be in store for them.

Contact Dermatitis
If a man develops a rash on his penis composed of small, itchy bumps, it could be contact dermatitis. This is an allergic reaction that skin can have to chemicals, dyes, perfumes, etc. in products we use. Delicate penile skin is susceptible to developing contact dermatitis from soaps, laundry detergents, fabric softeners, flavored condoms and spermicide. Treatment involves identifying the offending substance and removing it from a man’s routine.

Balanitis
Balanitis is characterized by redness and swelling of the head of the penis along with the foreskin. It generally occurs in intact men who have not been practicing the best hygiene. Bacteria builds up under the foreskin when smegma is not washed or wiped away often enough, and this can cause an infection. A doctor will determine the best treatment method based on the severity of the condition.

Yeast Infection
 
Most common in women, men can also get yeast infections that result in a red penis tip, itching and sometimes an abnormal white discharge from the urethra. Generally, antifungal creams are used to reduce the yeast population and restore balance. It’s a good idea to get this officially diagnosed, particularly if a man has never had a yeast infection before, because the symptoms of the condition are similar to those of some sexually transmitted infections.

Jock Itch
This highly itchy rash of small bumps has sharply-defined edges and can spread on the groin folds, thighs, buttocks, penis and testicles. It’s caused by a fungus called tinea cruris and is most common in men who sweat a lot in the nether region. An antifungal cream, along with steps to reduce moisture and heat in the area in the future, are usual treatments.

Psoriasis
If a man has psoriasis on other parts of his body, he may notice it develop on the penis as well. It manifests in rough patches of skin that itch. Steroid creams are often prescribed to deal with this skin condition, but some may be too harsh for the penis, in which case alternative moisturizers can be tried.

Since there are different treatments for different causes of penile redness, it’s imperative for a man to nail down the true source first. Some men are self-conscious about going to a doctor for a penile problem, but medical professionals are there to help people solve physical problems. And besides, it’s highly unlikely that a man is bringing something to the table that would surprise or shock a medical professional.

Taking proper care of one’s penis can prevent some causes of redness, soreness and itching, such as jock itch and balanitis. Along with washing regularly, a man may consider using a penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) as part of his daily hygiene routine. A crème with vitamin A can help reduce bacteria on the manhood. Also, natural moisturizers like Shea butter and vitamin E should be included. These are gentle on the delicate skin, and, by keeping the skin hydrated and smooth, they can help reduce the risk of infections, since cracks in dry skin provide a harboring zone for fungi and bacteria. A man can show his love for his tool by taking good care of it.

Penis Size Anxiety and the Research to Put It to Rest

Women aren’t the only people with body image concerns. Among the top on men’s list is often penis size. Misconceptions about what their size "should" be, largely based on porn penises and possibly the fibs of more than a few friends, can lead to significant confidence issues that interfere with a man’s mental and sexual wellbeing. Since frequent use of the manhood is an important part of penis care, his penile health may be affected as well. It’s time to get the facts straight on penis size, and men can do so with the help of science.
Study 1
In 2007, researchers Wylie and Eardley released results of their review of more than 50 studies involving over 11,500 men’s penises. Key findings were:
- The average size of an erect penis ranged from 5.5-6.3 inches in length.
- Average penile girth was between 4.7 and 5.1 inches when erect.
- 45% of men surveyed would like a larger penis.
- 12% of men surveyed considered their penises "small."
- 85% of women were content with their partners’ penile size.
Although only 12% of men surveyed thought they had penises below average length, 45% still wanted bigger manhoods. This indicates a cultural conception of bigger penises as better, which is not always the case. An aroused vagina measures approximately 4 inches in length, with the lauded G-spot about 3 inches in. This means even a small penis is capable of providing pleasure. Add in the fact that many women find very deep penetration that stimulates the cervix to be painful, and having a larger-than-average penis becomes not-so-desirable.
Men should also note that 85% of women surveyed were content with their partners’ packages. This suggests that men are far more concerned about size than women. Since one of the reasons men may be so concerned is the belief that women are, this piece of information may dispel fears for some.
Study 2
A more recent review published in 2015 by Veale et al gathered data on more than 15,500 men worldwide. Their findings include:
- Average penis length was 5.16 inches when erect.
- Average girth when erect was 4.69 inches.
- 68% of men’s penises measure within the 4.5-5.8-inch range when erect.
- 95% of erect penises fall within the 3.9-6.5-inch range.
The results of this larger study, then, are more conservative than the one above.
Overcoming Anxiety
Getting the facts straight on average penis length and on the sexual functionality of average and even smaller penises may be sufficient to dispel worries for some men. For others, the anxiety persists. If this inhibits one’s ability to lead a fulfilling sex life or comes with constant psychological distress in the form of shame or depression, a man may need a little extra help.
Therapy is a good way for men to address their body image issues. Men may be tempted to invest in a penis enlargement product, but this method is best avoided. For one, such products aren’t likely to work. Secondly, some methods, such as hanging weights off the member, can cause injury. Finally, these products won’t address the real problem, which is more than likely in a man’s head, not his pants.
If a man wants to invest in a product for his penis, he would be better off skipping products that supposedly enhance size and opting for one that enhances health. A penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) with natural moisturizers and nutrients that support circulation and nerve function can do the trick. A man can keep what he has in peak form and function with the use of such a product in conjunction with a healthy sex life and a solid hygiene routine.

Sex After Childbirth - Considerations for New Dads

Sex after childbirth can be a tricky thing, and many new moms aren’t ready as soon as new dads are. It’s important for men to first understand the many physical and psychological reasons a woman needs to wait, and then to learn how to make the experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible once the time comes. Compassion, patience and expressed love are crucial at this time in a couple’s life. A man may need to practice penis care in the form of a little more masturbation during this time, but he can rest assured that, if the situation is handled respectfully, his sex life will return soon enough.

1) The fear of pain is real. Whatever kind of birth a woman has - vaginal, assisted vaginal or C-section - she is susceptible to postpartum pain, particularly during intercourse. This pain can present for weeks or even months.

It’s not considered safe for women to have sex for the first two weeks after any form of delivery; the body needs to recover, and she may be bleeding during this time. Sex while bleeding can increase her risk of infection. If she delivered vaginally, her organ needs to recover; if she had a C-section, her abdominal wound needs to heal. Six weeks is the generally administered advice for waiting, but she may need longer.

2) She may not be in the mood for a while. There are a number of reasons that a new mom may not be feeling frisky, and they don’t have anything to do with her attraction to her partner. One reason is hormonal: Women have less estrogen available within the first four to six weeks after delivery, and for the duration of time they breastfeed. This can cause vaginal dryness as well as loss of libido.

Also consider the exhaustion she must be feeling. After nine months (give or take) of carrying around a baby in her belly, then going through childbirth, she is taking on the demands of parenting a newborn (as her partner is as well). She may have absolutely no energy available for sex at this time.

3) She may not be feeling good about her body. Body self-consciousness is highly common among all women, but perhaps more so among those who are pregnant or have just given birth. Her body is changing rapidly; if she’s breastfeeding, it’s also in high demand as essentially a food source for another human being, so she might be feeling a bit like her body isn’t hers anymore.

4) She may be depressed. Postpartum depression can be severe, and can easily impact her desire. It’s important for a woman with this condition to have a good support network, and for her partner to be a part of it.

What Can a Man Do?
First, being fully supportive and accepting of his partner’s limitations around sex is crucial.
To combat pain when sex is resumed, men should have on hand plenty of lubricant and should assume positions that won’t put pressure on her sore spots (such as spooning if she had a C-section). If it turns out she’s still too sore, offer to provide manual or oral pleasure instead.

To help her feel better about her body, remind her of the amazing feat it just accomplished - bringing life into this world. Appreciate her body - provide intimate touch (if she wants it): cuddle, caress and kiss. Show her that you cherish her, inside and out.

Finally, guys can do themselves and their lovers a favor by maintaining excellent penis care during their sexual hiatus. Along with relieving sexual tension on his own, a man can start using a penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) to give his lady something special to come back to when she’s ready. A crème with Shea butter acts as a great moisturizer, while vitamin A helps fight unwanted odors that may be present. Healthy penis, happy penis.

Penis Health and Nude Sunbathing - A Testosterone Booster

Many men are avid fans of nude sunbathing, taking pains to ensure proper penis health by keeping the organ covered in a good, effective sunscreen. The pleasures of nude sunbathing are many, and as long as appropriate penis care is practiced, it can add an extra element of fun and freedom to one’s beach or backyard experience. And interestingly, there may be a testosterone benefit associated with tanning in the nude as well.

Testosterone
Testosterone, of course, is the male sex hormone and something about which men often have concerns. While few men ever actually know what their exact testosterone levels are, most men want to make sure that they are on the high side.

That’s understandable. In popular culture, high testosterone levels are associated with true manliness: a hairy chest, bulging muscles, a sperm-filled sack and a massive penis always standing erect and ready for action. While the truth is that there is not quite such a direct link between the hormone and these attributes, testosterone nevertheless plays an important role in both physical development and sexual issues, including the sex drive.

Sunlight
Sunlight is of great importance to the continued health of any individual, male or female. In men, sunlight can play a role in increasing the amount of testosterone produced by the body. This is one of the reasons that ancient Greeks used to exercise outdoors in the sun. While an indoor gymnasium has its advantages, the lack of sunlight is a definite detriment.

When bare skin is exposed to sunlight, there is a definite increase in testosterone production. One study found that exposure to sunlight on the back increased testosterone production by about 120%.
Even more impressive, exposure of the genitals to sunlight increased testosterone by 200%. (That might be one reason so many erections pop up on a nude beach - that and the presence of shapely nude women, of course.)

Add in some exercise
If a guy really wants to get the testosterone levels climbing, he should consider combining exercise with his nude sunbathing. Vigorous exercise also stimulates the process by which testosterone is produced, so engaging in a naked workout outdoors should have even more of a benefit.

One can bring weights to the beach if one wants, but it may be easier to just engage in more sports-like activities. A game of nude volleyball or bare basketball can get the job done and be much more enjoyable. (But do remember, men: you’re playing without an athletic supporter, so be careful.)
Another activity that can be entertaining is nude yoga. This has become more and more common in recent years. It’s worth investigating if any practitioners are in one’s area and if there is a clothing-optional outdoor space where a class could be held.

Take care
Remember, the direct exposure of the penis to sunlight results in the testosterone boost. This means that a man needs to go the full Monty to derive the maximum benefit. This also means that a man needs to limit the amount of time that the penis is exposed to sunlight without sunscreen. If the penis is making its nude sunbathing debut, lathering on sunscreen regularly is essential. If it has a bit more experience in being exposed, a man can parcel out a bit of screen-free penis time - but he must be careful not to overdo it!
Nude sunbathing can help boost testosterone levels, but it also exposes just how good one’s penis health practices are. That means men who are going natural should regularly use a first-class penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil), especially if they are prone to dry or flaky penis skin. A crème that contains a combination of natural moisturizers (such as Shea butter and vitamin E) can provide the hydration to deal with common dermatological issues, making the rod appear shiny and smooth. If a persistent odor clings to the penis even after washing, a crème formulated with vitamin A can do the trick. That vitamin is equipped with antibacterial properties that attack rank member order. Employ that crème to help one’s manhood make an impact on the beach.

Penis Health and Frottage - What Are the Risks?

Frottage, or the rubbing of one's genitals against those of another person (or against another body part), is a popular sexual activity, especially among youth. One of the attractions of frottage is that men assume it comes with no chance of penis health issues. However, that is not exactly the case, and those for whom appropriate penis care is a concern should learn a bit more about what risks are involved when engaging in frottage.

What is it again?
Technically, frottage is any form of activity in which the genitals of one person are stimulated through contact with a body part of another person (or persons). A man with a foot fetish, for example, could be considered to be practicing frottage if he were to rub his penis against a partner's foot for sexual pleasure. While frottage usually brings to mind naked genitalia, a couple can frot while clothed; thus, "dry humping," or the rubbing together of genitals while clothed, could be thought of as a form of frottage.

For the purpose of this article, however, frottage will be considered as specifically the rubbing together of two (or more) sets of naked genitalia. It can involve either mixed gender partners or same sex partners.
Frottage is a popular activity among young partners who have not yet lost their virginity, as well as among adult gay men; however, adult heterosexual partners also delight in the practice.

Health risks
When considering the health risks associated with frottage, it's important to note that this discussion concerns only sex acts in which there is no penetrative sex in addition to the frottage. Practicing unprotected oral sex or vaginal or anal intercourse adds in a layer of additional risk that won't be considered here but which all responsible sexual partners need to consider.

Frottage is one of the "safer sex" activities, but transmission of health issues is certainly possible. After all, when organ skin is rubbing against organ skin, and when penile and vaginal fluids are being secreted during the activity, there is always a possibility for spreading conditions from one infected person to a non-infected person.

The following are some of the health issues that might occur from bare skin frottage:

- Pubic lice and scabies. These irritating parasites are easy to catch from direct skin-to-skin contact. Neither is considered a serious issue, but the itching and discomfort they can cause, as well as the embarrassment they engender, can be a significant bother.

- Genital herpes. One of the most common sexually transmitted infections, genital herpes is also one of the hardiest. The recurrence rate of the bumps is very high, so avoiding contracting it in the first place is advisable.

- HPV and genital warts. The human papillomavirus (HPV) and the possible resulting genital warts are much more likely to occur as a result of penetrative sex, but there is some risk from frottage's direct skin-to-skin contact. Many may opt to be vaccinated for prevention of HPV.

- Chancroid. An infected individual with sores can easily spread this painful bacterial infection.

- HIV. The chances of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission through frottage are very, very low; however, if blood or genital fluids of an infected individual enter an open wound, it is possible.
Being aware of the risks and knowing the sexual history of one's partner can help prevent the spread of these issues during frottage, as can using a form of barrier protection.

There are also more common penis health issues that can occur during frottage, such as passing on a rash or incurring a slight dermatological issue that causes itchiness and soreness. Including a top-notch penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) in a man’s routine can help with these. A crème containing a high-end emollient like Shea butter is a great resource against dry, flaky skin. Also good: a crème with vitamin A, which has potent antibacterial properties that can add a strong element of protection for general penis health.

Normal Penis: Most Guys Have One, but Might Not Know It

Many men have anxieties and insecurities around what they’re packing in their pants. A steady diet of professional porn that over-represents the straight, circumcised, smooth model of the tool doesn’t help. Most men aren’t likely to see a penis that looks like their own on the screen; they may think that the porn pecker is a "normal penis," whereas their own are strange and even unappealing. Not likely. Along with basic penis care advice such as practicing proper hygiene, it’s just as important for a man to cultivate confidence in and appreciation for what he’s got. The following natural variations may be present in a man, and he has nothing to be concerned about if so.

Foreskin
Foreskin is nature’s way of protecting a man’s sensitive glans (the head of the penis) and providing lubrication to the member. Men may feel that the sheath is unsightly or unclean, but there’s nothing inherently ugly about foreskin; that’s a subjective matter, and men can learn to appreciate what they have. Plus, it’s certainly not unclean, so long as a man takes care to retract the sheath and wipe away smegma buildup as needed. Most men in the world are uncircumcised; while the surgery is a common practice in the U.S., intact men hold a worldwide majority.

Curvature
Penis curvature may concern a man, but it’s very common for the penis to curve up, down, left or right when it’s erect. In general, there is nothing wrong with this. Unless the curvature is severe and interferes with a man’s ability to have sex or pleasure himself, he has no reason to fret. On the bright side, a man with a curved tool can stimulate areas of the vagina that the man with a straight penis can’t as easily. So it could even be a plus in the bedroom!

Pearly Penile Papules
Some men - an estimated quarter, to be more precise - have one or more rows of white or flesh-colored bumps lining the ridge of their glans. These are called pearly penile papules, because they resemble a pearl necklace around the penis. These bumps are a natural anatomical variation that cause no harm. Some men feel they are unsightly, but they should try to enjoy the unique arrangement of their pearl necklaces as a special feature rather than a blemish.

Fordyce Spots
Fordyce spots are small yellowish or white dots that may be found on the penile shaft; they can also appear in the mouth and on a woman’s vulva. They aren’t contagious or harmful in any way and, like pearly papules, they are a natural anatomical variation. Men with peckers speckled with Fordyce spots need not worry themselves.

5 Inches
Many, many men think their penises are "too small." A recent study of 15,000 penises around the world found that the average length of an erect member is 5.16 inches - a far cry from the "8 inch average" myth. The vast majority of men have penises near this length, and slightly more or less makes no difference in terms of functionality. Since insecurities about penile length can deter a man from using what he’s got, it’s important for him to cultivate respect for his length.

So, men, take a deep breath and relax. From spots to curves to length, most men have the perfect penis for them. If they want to do something special for their tools, they can consider adding a penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) to their care regimens, particularly if they experience issues with dry, chafed skin on the member. A crème with Shea butter and vitamin E will provide and lock in moisture so the tool stays pleasant to the touch and ready to go.

Sexual Health Tip: Increasing Intimacy In and Out of the Bedroom

When it comes to physical contact with a romantic partner, many men are a bit hyper-focused on getting straight to the naughty bits. But physical contact beyond the nether regions is important, both for sexual health and for the health of a relationship overall. Since a healthy sex life is important for penis health as well as general wellbeing, men should make it a priority to learn about ways to improve their intimate relationships. Doing so will benefit a man’s partner as well, of course. This article will consider physical contact broadly, from non-sexual intimacy to foreplay.

Non-Sexual Intimacy
The quality of sex two partners have often depends on how they feel about one another outside the bedroom. Sure, a hot fling with a stranger may be enticing at times, but in a sustained relationship, it’s important to establish heat outside the sack.

That’s why intimate touch that does not come with the expectation of sexual gratification is important in a relationship. By being physically engaged with a partner for its own sake, a couple can grow closer; this could lead to better sex and to a better relationship as a whole.

Consider the following forms of non-sexual intimate contact:
- Hand-holding: Holding hands is sweet, but partners can take the activity a step further by caressing one another’s hands with their thumbs, or tracing one another’s fingers and palms. This attentiveness shows a partner one’s affection in an enhanced way.

- Kissing: Many couples fall into "kissing routines" that make the activity rather mechanical - a peck hello, goodbye or goodnight; a set pressure and rhythm just before having sex. But there are so many ways and times to kiss - out of nowhere; hard; soft; nibbling the other’s lower lip; a little tongue; a lot of tongue. Break up the routine - try remembering the first kiss, and recreate that intensity from time to time.

- Cuddling: It’s hard to overestimate the intimacy created between two partners when cuddling. Instead of sitting next to one another on the couch, try lying down and spooning when watching a movie or TV show. Or, have one partner lie on the other’s lap, while the seated partner caresses the one lying down.
- Massaging: This can be anything from a quick, practical shoulder rub after a stressful day to a prolonged, full-body experience. Massages can be administered casually, while watching TV or a movie, or they can be more planned, with candles and oils.

Foreplay
Many men need to be reminded of the importance of foreplay; while his member may pop up quickly, his partner’s equipment may require a bit more priming.

- Erotic kissing: Many women have very sensitive ears and necks, as do many men. Kissing or gently nibbling these areas can be incredibly arousing for a woman. A man should also inquire into any other areas a woman is particularly fond of, such as the nipples.

- Appreciating the body: Taking time to caress and admire a woman’s full body brings an attentiveness and sensuality to the experience unmatched by a quick "checking off" of the hot spots before penetration.
- Oral play: Many women find oral play just as pleasurable as men, and men should not forget that. Through practice, a man can learn his lady’s favorite rhythms, pressures and techniques, such as blowing gently on the clitoris or lightly tapping it (ask first before attempting the latter).

- Talking dirty: Many partners like to tell sensual stories or talk dirty to one another. Comfort levels vary widely here, so partners should discuss what they are into beforehand.

This is by no means an exhaustive list of non-sexual and sexual physical contact. Partners can explore with one another to discover their unique preferences. Some things are universal, though, and one of those things is the desirability of a healthy, fresh manhood. Along with washing regularly, men can consider using a penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) to keep their penises smooth, soft to the touch and free of unwanted odors. The best crème will include Shea butter and vitamin E for hydration, as well as vitamin A, the antibacterial properties of which help fight odors. Touch a partner often and in many ways, and make sure one’s own equipment is inviting of touch.

Penis Pain and the Big Penis - Too Much of a Good Thing

From the moment a man starts comparing his tool to those of others, most men have a truly big penis as their goal. Even men who are already blessed in the endowment department tend to want more. Yet sometimes the extra large-sized member comes with drawbacks, among them the potential for manhood pain for the owner of that big penis. With that being the case, practicing proper penis care is a must.

No room.
One of the problems with a big penis is the question of how to pack it all in. When a man has a massive rod, he wants to make that fact known. Since openly displaying a big penis (or one of any size) is frowned upon in most public social situations, a guy tends to favor tight pants that highlight his sizeable bulge.
Unfortunately, with a well-proportioned pecker, finding pants that are tight enough to provide a showcase that still have enough room for all that mass can be challenging. Often the tightness becomes too confining, leaving the manhood no breathing room, especially when it's in a tumescent state. This can cause penis pain and discomfort, as well as considerable chafing. If the guy is going commando, that chafing can become a real issue.

No sex.
Even more problematic is when a man has a penis of such impressive length and/or girth that engaging in intercourse becomes difficult. Indeed, some men are so well-endowed that even oral sex becomes a challenge.

The vagina is a wonderful thing, and one of the most marvelous things about it is its ability to stretch. When properly aroused, the vagina is capable of accommodating almost all shapes and sizes of penises. But sometimes a penis really can be too big.

Let's take the case of a true "foot long" member. The main area of the vaginal canal is not that deep, so it won't be able to accommodate the full length of such a monster. However, during the heat of the moment, a man is likely to thrust as deep as he can, hitting the cervix. This not only causes penis pain in the male but can also be incredibly painful for the female.

A too-wide penis can also create barriers to pleasure. The vagina stretches considerably, but in some cases it can't become wide enough. Even when a vagina does barely stretch enough to accommodate a penis of enormous girth, it may still be so tight as to cause discomfort for one or both partners.

Take steps.
A man who possesses an exceptionally big penis must make sure that he is cautious in how deep and hard he thrusts and must always use plenty of lubrication. These are worthy recommendations for a man with any size of penis, of course. Also important: making sure that one engages in sufficient foreplay to allow the vagina to become as naturally flexible and accommodating as possible. Again, a man with a penis of any size should be attentive to foreplay, but it's especially the case for the man with a major endowment.

The owner of a big penis also needs to keep an eye on its health in order to avoid unnecessary penis pain. Therefore, making use of a first-class penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) as part of his daily routine is advised. Since the larger member may encounter more chafing and soreness, extra attention will need to be paid to the penis skin; keeping it moisturized is essential. A crème packed with hydrators like Shea butter and vitamin E can make a difference in skin maintenance. The penis may be subjected to rough handling when trying to squeeze it into smaller vaginas, and over time this can cause some loss of sensation. A crème with neuroprotective acetyl L-carnitine can help deal with issues related to loss of penis sensitivity.

The Healthy Penis Vs. Allergies - Achoo or Uh-Oh?

Spring is here and young men’s thoughts are turning to love and sex - and allergies. Surprisingly, most men don’t know that a healthy penis can be impacted by a common allergy. Following proper penis care can help, but sometimes a guy may have to choose between hay fever management and a roll in the hay.

Allergies are common
According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, some 50 million Americans (about 30% of adults) suffer from hay fever (also called allergic rhinitis). That explains why, at peak seasons, it seems like, everywhere one turns, he finds sneezing, red eyes, runny noses and itchy mouths.
Some people are susceptible to hay fever year-round. Others are more likely to experience it at certain times of the year when pollen or other airborne triggers are more prevalent.
There are a number of options that are usually pursued to manage allergies like hay fever. One of the most common is the use of antihistamines.

More than a drowsy effect.
Antihistamines have a well-deserved reputation for causing drowsiness in those that take them. Many men who down the antihistamines for allergy relief find themselves feeling a little too drowsy to engage in vigorous sexual activity. After all, when a guy is sleepy, he’s simply not as likely to be "in the mood."
But antihistamines do more than just cause a general drowsiness. The way they work involves targeting the central nervous system and telling it to calm down, to get a little drowsy itself. This is to help it ignore the external stimulus that results in sneezing and coughing.

That’s great, but that same central nervous system is also responsible for picking up on the erotic stimuli that are useful in telling the penis that it’s time to get hard. So a guy may have a healthy penis, but his nervous system may have been put into a "doze" state by an antihistamine and may therefore no longer respond as readily or as fully as desired.

Add pseudoephedrine…
But wait, there’s more! Often an antihistamine will be used in conjunction with pseudoephedrine to deliver a one-two punch to allergies. But guess what? Pseudoephedrine is what is called a vasoconstrictor. That means that one of its effects is to cause blood vessels to constrict. When this happens, less blood gets through. One of the key components for a sexually aroused penis is blood vessels that are open so that plenty of blood can rush in to create the necessary firmness.

So, a man with allergies often takes medication that includes an antihistamine and pseudoephedrine, which helps to treat his allergies but also results in general drowsiness, a "dampened" desire and constricted blood vessels that discourage appropriate blood flow.

What to do
Ideally, a man wants to avoid taking these medication s any time that he is expecting to get the opportunity for a little bedtime action. It’s also a good idea to discuss with a doctor alternative treatments that won’t have a potentially negative impact on an otherwise healthy penis. Many people recommend natural treatments for hay fever, such as taking gingko, red clover and yarrow - so consult with a doctor about these options as well.

Of course, treating allergies isn’t the only step to maintaining a healthy penis. Men also should regularly apply a top-drawer penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) to the tool. During allergy season, the itchiness common to allergies can even spread to the groin. A crème that contains a high-end emollient such as Shea butter is well-poised to help relieve that itchiness and the skin irritation that itching can bring. In addition, finding a crème that includes among its ingredients L-arginine is a definite plus. L-arginine plays a key role in creating nitric oxide, which in turn is helpful in opening up penile blood vessels for a more ample blood flow level.

Groin Sweat - Tips for Managing the Moisture

Springtime: when flesh becomes exposed and feels the warm, long-awaited kiss of the sun. During this season, many people feel a resurgence of sensual desire, which may have cooled off during the long, dark winter. But for some men, warm weather also brings a very unsexy phenomenon: excessive groin sweat. In the interest of proper penis health and the steady flow of his sex life, a man with such a circumstance would do well to learn how to manage his moisture levels in the downstairs region.

Groin sweat is not only unappealing to a man and his potential partners; it creates a ripe environment for the spread of fungus, increasing a man’s risk of the dreaded jock itch rash that leads to intense itching and unsightly bumps. Below, men can find tips for handling their sweaty situation, both increasing their comfort and protecting the health of their precious members.

1) Wash more. This one is kind of a no-brainer, but must be mentioned on a list of sweat management techniques. Some guys get locked into a showering routine and are resistant to altering it during the warmer months, but it’s important to regularly wash away accumulated sweat, which may harbor unwanted fungi and bacteria.

That said, a man shouldn’t scrub hard, use harsh soaps or run very hot water over the manhood. Rather, rinsing in warm water - and using the fingers to gently retract foreskin and wipe away smegma, if a man is intact - once or twice a day should suffice.

2) Powder up. It’s a good idea to put genital-friendly powder on the inner thighs to keep things dry and prevent the balls from clinging obnoxiously to a man’s legs. Powder can prevent jock itch and make a man far more comfortable in the spring and summer.

3) Dress appropriately. Wearing breathable, roomy cotton underwear promotes air circulation in the area, and therefore dryness. Aside from undergarments, men should also mind the type of pants or shorts they wear. Skinny jeans aren’t the best choice for air circulation. Sweat-prone men should also avoid thick materials and dark colors, the latter when they are going to be out in the sun - lighter colors absorb less heat from the sun.

4) Bring a change of clothes. Some men can’t avoid soaking though their clothes, even if they use powder, either because they’re doing physical labor or because they are simply more sweaty than most. For such men, carrying around an extra pair of underwear and shorts or pants is a good idea. Keep some spares in the car, at work, at a partner’s place - anywhere a man spends a substantial amount of time. While he may not be able to prevent sweat, he can at least get himself out of wet clothing, dry off with a paper towel and reduce his risk of jock itch.

All this talk of keeping things dry shouldn’t make a man think it’s not important to keep things moisturized. Skin needs to stay hydrated, and a man who uses powders and washes several times a day might end up drying his skin out.

That’s why it’s a good idea to use a penis-specific moisturizer after showering, one that soaks into the skin nicely and doesn’t keep the area too wet. A penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) with vitamin A is ideal, since this ingredient helps fight bacteria that can add to sweat odors. Look for Shea butter and vitamin E on the ingredient list as well; these natural hydrators attract just the right amount of moisture and keep it locked in. Finding a balance between dryness and moisture is crucial to penis health.

Hard Penis Tips - Other Ways to Use It

When a guy has a hard penis, there's usually only one thing on his mind: putting it to work and reaping the benefits of its sturdiness. There are plenty of tips about how to manipulate that hard penis sexually, but why stop there? A man with a good track record in penis care with a tumescent tool at his disposable shouldn't limit himself to a bout in bed (with a partner or himself). Why, if a man puts his mind to it, there must be dozens of good uses for an erect member.

What might some of those be?

- A measuring stick. Just about every guy who ever lived has taken the time to measure his firm rod and likely has memorized exactly how big his manhood is. (It's amazing how many men, when calculating the size themselves, become members of the foot-long club.) And considering just how often that boner pops up for action, most guys could easily measure that wood that needs to be cut just by opening up the zipper.

- A tie rack. Sometimes that morning wood just doesn't go away and is still hanging around while a guy gets dressed for work. Why not take advantage of it? When deciding between several ties, hang the extras on your own personal tie rack while you try each one on.

- A doorbell push. It is so annoying when a guy comes home with his arms full of groceries only to discover the door is locked, he can't get to his keys and he can't reach the doorbell. Why not make use of the mid-level appendage? Sure, there's the small matter of how a guy can pull it out with his arms full, but if a guy encourages his rod to think there's a reward awaiting him on the other side of the door, he might not need to expose it at all - it can do the job through his clothes.

- A rolling pin. What happens if a guy is baking bread but discovers his rolling pin is missing? The answer is obvious. Pour a little flour on the perky pecker and get that loaf in the oven!

- A meat tenderizer. Beating meat takes on new meaning when a man is ready to pound a tough steak and finds his wooden mallet is nowhere around. Fortunately, the fleshy version is always at hand. Using the tube snake to beat the tube steak makes the whole process more fun.

- A paintbrush. This is not as unusual as it may sound, as a quick internet search will reveal a number of men who are known for turning their sex tools into artist's tools. Dipping a hard penis in a little body-safe paint and applying it to canvas takes some special skill (and balance), but those with artistic tendencies and an active sex drive may find it very rewarding.

As one can see from the above tips, the non-sexual uses for a hard penis are many. Of course, whatever uses one puts it to, a man needs to make certain that its health is not compromised. Using a top-drawer penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) is one of the best ways to maintain the health of that manhood. When a man handles his tool, or has it handled by others, on a frequent basis, sometimes an overaggressive touch can cause some loss of sensation. A crème with neuroprotective acetyl L-carnitine is ideal for helping to restore lost sensitivity to a roughly-handled rod. Men also need to find a cream that contains vitamin E to keep the penis moisturized. Vitamin E forms a barrier that helps prevent cracked, dry or flaky penis skin from developing. That's good news for men, their tools and people who handle those tools for them.

Bent Penis Tips - Preventing Extreme Curvature

Men take exceptional pride in their penises, which is why they can get very concerned when they possess a bent penis. Even men who regularly practice appropriate penis care may find that an excess of curvature is developing, causing them to worry.

Curvature is normal.
It's important for men to realize that some curvature in the penis is absolutely normal. Some men do indeed possess rods that are 100% straight: no bending to the left or right or arcing up or down. But there are also many men whose manhoods have a tendency toward angling in one direction or another.

And there's nothing wrong with that, either from an aesthetic or functional point of view. Indeed, many partners find a penis with some curve to it to be especially beautiful to look at and to fondle. It can give a tool some character that others find irresistible.

Functionally, a penis with some curvature to it may provide a particular woman with more pleasure. It's important to remember that every person is different. Some women’s bodies are more readily excited by the movements of a curved penis than those of one that is ramrod straight.

Extreme curvature can be a problem.
Curvature only becomes an issue if it is extreme. A bent penis with a severe angle to it may make penetration difficult for both partners. In addition, a bent penis may have lost some sensitivity, which can have a dampening effect on a man's enjoyment of sexual activity.

Scarring
There are a number of reasons for the development of extreme curvature. One of the most common is the accrual of scar tissue in the penis.

Remember, penis skin is very thin, so that the nerve endings in the tool can be stimulated and provide the pleasure that comes from sex. Scar tissue is a very, very thin layer that develops as a result of rough handling. Although the layer is thin, when many layers develop one on top of the other, it can create a fair amount of mass.

If that tissue develops in one area of the tool, it may cause the penis to begin curving or may increase its existing curvature. In addition, the added layers of tissue can begin to impede the ability of the nerve endings to receive appropriate stimuli. This not only causes a lessening of sensation, it also encourages further rough handling. If a man's penis has lost sensitivity, it requires more aggressive stroking to receive stimuli, and that aggressive stroking may lead to more scar tissue - a vicious cycle.

Preventing an excess of scar tissue from developing is advisable. There are several steps a man can take to accomplish this. For example, using proper lubrication when having sex is always a good idea. It also helps to "switch things up" when masturbating. Instead of always using the right hand, for example, try using the left hand occasionally. Don't choke the penis or grip it too tightly.

Attending to the health of the manhood is also an excellent way to avoid extreme curvature and a bent penis. Regular application of a quality penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) can help with this goal. When the penis is kept well moisturized, the skin is able to stretch. A member that has been roughly handled is less likely to develop scar tissue if it is well hydrated and looser. Therefore, a crème that contains natural moisturizing ingredients like Shea butter and vitamin E is essential. It also helps if the crème contains acetyl L-carnitine. This is a neuroprotective agent that can help restore sensitivity associated with peripheral nerve damage.

Keep a Healthy Penis - Lesson from the Penis Festival

Men with a healthy penis, take note: The annual penis festival in Japan applauds your careful attention to proper penis care. And coming from this annual (and very popular) celebration of the phallus, that is quite a compliment indeed.

The Kawasaki way
Held the first Sunday in April in Kawasaki, the Kanamara Matsuri (literally, the Festival of the Steel Phallus) began in 1977; however, the shrine that is its centerpiece dates back centuries.
According to a legend from the 1600s, a demon took up residence in a young woman's vagina and kept biting off the organs of any man who tried to enter her. Understandably frustrated, she sought the help of a blacksmith, who fashioned a steel phallus. When this was placed inside the woman, the demon bit down and broke his teeth. His lesson learned, he left the poor woman alone.

Keep a healthy penis
The Kanamara shrine venerates the male member and the penis festival focuses on the importance of maintaining the health of one's equipment. While the celebration features many fun activities and is overflowing with giant tools, candies in the shape of members and a wide range of prosthetic appendages, the main message is: A healthy penis is a happy penis.
That's a lesson that more men need to take to heart. It's laudable that many men take steps to protect themselves and their partners from STIs by using proper protection; that's absolutely essential to good penis health.
However, often men think that this protection is all there is to maintaining a healthy penis. As a result, they may tend to neglect more "everyday" issues that can have a significant impact on how one's manhood looks and feels.

Among the issues that are often overlooked by men are:

- The aroma of the tool. A slight scent of musk attached to one's package can stimulate a partner's olfactory responses, and that's good. But a penis that carries around with it a rank, sweaty odor is a big liability. Indeed, unwanted penis odor is a major complaint among many women.
- Unsightly penis skin. The skin of the member is especially sensitive - and therefore it can go from looking fit and healthy to dry and unappealing relatively easily. Dry patches, flakiness, scaliness, red splotches and other common dermatological problems can be major game-changers, in the wrong way.
- De-sensitization. All those nerve ending in the penis are crucial to a man's optimum enjoyment of sex, whether with a partner or by himself. When those nerves are alive, the experience of sex is thrilling. However, a penis can become de-sensitized over time, especially if it is frequently submitted to rough (if enjoyable) handling during sexual activity. When the nerves become deadened, the sensory experience is impacted in a significantly negative way.

One doesn't need to attend a penis festival to understand the importance of a healthy penis or to take steps to ensure the health of one's own manhood. Using a first-class penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) is one of the easiest ways to help maintain the health of that rod. Ideally, one wants a crème that can address all the issues mentioned above. Therefore, finding a crème with vitamin A, natural moisturizers and acetyl L-carnitine is essential. Vitamin A has anti-bacterial properties that actively fight the root causes of rank penis odor. Natural moisturizers like Shea butter and vitamin E battle the dehydration that causes many dermatological issues. And acetyl L-carnitine is a neuroprotective ingredient that helps fight the peripheral nerve damage that interferes with penis sensitivity. Put them all in one crème and the result is a superior yet easily applied method of keeping one's member healthy and happy.

Penis Health: Dietary Dos and Don’ts

It’s no secret that the foods people eat have an impact on every aspect of their health, and penis health is no exception. A man’s dietary habits can, in addition to other factors, determine his sex drive, erectile ability and, for some, even the flavor of his semen. When considering dietary matters, it’s equally as important to know what foods are beneficial as it is to know which ones are best avoided, at least in large quantities. The following dietary dos and don’ts will show men what changes they can make to promote optimal penile and sexual health.

Dietary Dos:
- Oysters: This sexy seafood is loaded with zinc, a mineral that is known to maintain healthy testosterone levels. This hormone is needed for a healthy sex drive and for erectile function.

- Tomatoes: This juicy fruit (yes, tomatoes are fruits) is high in lycopene, which promotes healthy circulation. Erectile function depends on good blood flow, since erections occur when the penis becomes engorged with blood. Eating tomatoes in conjunction with oily produce, such as avocado, may help the body absorb the lycopene. 
- Honey: Honey is quite a sensual food - it’s sweet and sticky and seductively slow to pour. But it’s also full of B vitamins, which are crucial to the production of testosterone.
- Leafy greens: These vegetables are loaded with chemicals called nitrates, which enable the expansion of blood vessels. When blood vessels expand, blood is allowed to flow in abundance through them. Eating a good amount of spinach, chard, kale and other greens can translate to improved erectile function.
- Dark chocolate: Along with being a favorite dessert for many, dark chocolate has several healthy components. Those relevant to penis health are flavonoids and antioxidants; the former aid in healthy circulation, while the latter repair damaged cells, which can improve the skin condition of the penis.

Dietary Don’ts:
 
The following don’t need to be avoided altogether, but, in the interest of a man’s sexual health, should not be consumed regularly.

- Soy: Soy products like tofu and edamame contain phytoestrogens, hormones that reduce the body’s production of testosterone. Packing in the soy on a daily basis could hurt a man’s libido and erectile health.
- Red meat: It’s fairly well-known that a diet high in red meat intake isn’t a very good choice for heart health. It may negatively impact the flavor of a man’s semen, too. Opt for lean proteins most of the time, and save the steak or burger for a Friday special.
- Mint: Keeping the breath fresh is generally a pretty good move in the sex department, but doing so with minty edibles may not be the best choice. That’s because mint contains menthol, a chemical that reduces testosterone levels. A man should brush his teeth rather than chewing mint gum or other mint products.
- Bleached white flour: Refined carbohydrates sap testosterone levels. Many pastas, breads, crackers and other pantry staples are loaded with bleached white flour. Check ingredient labels, and choose products made with whole grains instead, such as whole wheat.

Proper nutrition impacts everything from erectile ability and strength down to the desire to get there in the first place. What a man eats - and doesn’t eat - is therefore worth considering when making an effort to boost or maintain sexual wellbeing.

Eating right isn’t the only way to get nutrients to the penis. Men can supplement their healthy lifestyle with a penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil). The best product will contain L-arginine, an ingredient that boosts nitric oxide production; nitric oxide triggers the expansion of blood vessels and is therefore a vital component of healthy circulation. The crème should also contain natural moisturizers such as vitamin E and Shea butter for optimal skin health. Using a crème like this allows a man to bypass the digestive tract and get the nutrients he wants directly where he wants them.

Soft Penis Sex Tips: When Hard Isn't Happening

A big strong monster of a member is every man's goal, but the reality is that sometimes what a guy has to work with is a soft penis. Most sex tips involving the soft penis focus on ways to make it hard, and that's certainly laudable; however, sometimes hardness just isn't going to happen in the desired way, even when a man maintains excellent penis health. For those occasions when relative softness is the order of the day (or night), the following sex tips may prove helpful.

A soft penis is not a disinterested penis.
Because the typical image of a sexually engaged penis is one that is as hard as steel, it's easy to forget that a man can be sexually interested and still be soft. This is especially true when a formerly hard penis has gone a bit limp. The tool is still feeling that need to engage, but physical conditions have effected a change in the hardness factor. Partners who encounter a soft penis shouldn't take it as a sign of rejection - but it may mean that, if the anticipated entertainment involves penetration, there may need to be a change of plans.

Use the situation to explore.
Many men and their partners think that a soft penis that prevents penetration means no sex. In fact, the presence of a soft penis can allow a couple to engage in some new explorations of their bodies. The soft partner can really take a tour of his partner's body, using his tongue and his fingers to cause excitation in a variety of erogenous zones. And the partner can certainly return the favor.

Rub it in.
Just because penetration is off the table doesn't mean there can't be genital-to-genital collaboration. Many couples find it intensely exciting to lie face-to-face and rub their genitals against each other. Some also report a tingling erotic thrill from having the woman lie with her legs spread and the male knelt beside her, taking his soft penis and gently slapping it against her labia and clitoris.

Break out the toys.
When a soft penis presents itself, it can provide an excellent opportunity to try out some sex toys on each other. For example, sharing a vibrator can be a terrifically sensual experience - as can each of the partners having a vibrator and pleasuring the other partner simultaneously. Edible underwear can add a playful and tasteful aspect to the evening. A dildo for a female partner's vagina is an obvious option, but men may want to consider exploring a little anal penetration for themselves as well.

Masturbate.
Masturbation is too often a solo activity, even among couples who have been together for years. Mutual masturbation is often practiced with one partner pleasuring the other manually, but each partner self-pleasuring him/herself in front of the other is much rarer. Couples may want to take advantage of a soft penis to openly masturbate, narrating their experience as they go and commenting on how exciting they find the activity in the moment. A person can discover a great deal about what pleasures a partner by watching him or her masturbate. (And partners don't have to wait for a soft penis occurrence to indulge in this stimulating experience!)

There are more sex tips for when a soft penis is present, including mutual oral sex, body painting, etc., but these offer an idea of what one can do. Soft or hard, the health of the rod is crucial, and so using a first-class penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) should be part of every man's daily routine. A crème with many amino acids and vitamins is best. Most men want one that includes L-arginine, an ingredient that aids in the production of nitric oxide. Why is that good? Because nitric oxide helps keep penile blood vessels open. Also advisable is to find a crème with vitamin C, which plays a key role in collagen formation and penile tissue firmness. Applying the crème regularly helps keep a soft penis, a hard penis and any penis in between in better health.

Masturbation Dos and Don’ts for Men

Masturbation is a highly personal process, and whatever works for a man is generally the best way to go. However, there’s always something new to learn, and it may behoove a man to consider tips and tricks for amplifying his pleasure. On the other hand, there are certain self-gratification methods that can impede one’s sex life, and these are worth avoiding for most men. Since frequent use is important for penis health, keeping masturbation enjoyable without compromising sexual performance with a partner is imperative. The following tips will help.

1) Beware of "unusual sensations." If a man masturbates primarily by using stimulation that is very different from anything he’d experience with a sexual partner - for instance, vacuum hoses, Jacuzzi jets or a chokehold grip - then he may not be able to enjoy sex with a partner as much as he could, or even at all.
When the penis is repeatedly subjected to these "unusual sensations" to bring about orgasm, it can become trained to only respond to such sensations. That means a partner’s touch, mouth and body may not be able to invoke pleasure, erection and ejaculation from the otherwise-trained penis. This can create significant relationship problems, along with hurting a man’s self-esteem.

2) Try different techniques. Men generally have their preferred grip and rhythmic patterns down by the time they enter adulthood, but why not try something new? Some alternative methods men may not have considered include:
- Lubing up the palm and rubbing the tip against it
- Focusing on the base of the penis
- Edging - bringing oneself to the brink of release, then stopping, then starting again, and so on three or four times before allowing release
- Tugging gently on the balls just before and during climax
These different sensations may lead to a different level of orgasm - well worth the experiment!

3) Take it easy with the hardcore visuals. Some men find, upon reflection, that the videos and pictures they use when masturbating may have escalated on the hardcore factor over time. If a man relies solely on such materials, he is training his penis to respond sexually to such things. When it comes to actual partner sex, he isn’t likely to recreate the scenarios in extreme videos and images, and therefore may find himself incapable of full sexual pleasure with a person in the flesh.

4) Try some toys. Sex toys certainly aren’t just for women. Some men enjoy anal stimulation and would benefit from a dildo, vibrator or beads. Other men may prefer to simulate a vagina with a purchased toy like the fleshlight; others may want to take a DIY approach. Here are a few homemade options:
- Put a condom inside a cardboard toilet paper or paper towel tube.
- Wet two sponges in warm water and fit them into a cup.
- Fill a plastic baggie with lube and stick it between couch cushions.
- Roll down the cuff of a sock, put a medical glove inside it, fill the glove with lube and go to town.
Toys like this can give men a new experience and are easy to make with things that are lying around the house.

5) Use lube. Some men love the dry rub - and this can be fine for men who produce ample natural lubrication. But for most, additional lubrication is key to preventing dry, chafed and sore penile skin. This can result even from masturbation with lubrication, though. Along with using lube, men can apply a moisturizer to their members after showering so that their skin is going into the session thoroughly hydrated. A penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) is an ideal option for men in need of a boost in the skin condition department.
