Dry Penis Skin: Fighting a Date Night Nightmare

Ah, a hot date night is a wonderful thing, whether it’s a married couple finally getting the chance to be alone or 2 people who are still in the early stages of getting to know each other. Guys naturally want everything to go well on a date night, and if that night is to include some time spent in the bedroom, they want to make sure there are no bumps along the road to getting there. Men who regularly practice good penis care generally have little to worry about, but sometimes something can come along to throw a wrench in their plans. For example, suddenly finding that they have flaky dry penis skin, making them wary of how a partner may react to their penis, can be a game changer.

Curse that dry penis skin!

Dry penis skin is one of those things that can sneak up on a guy. He may not have been paying that much attention to things, may not have been inspecting his penis daily (as he should to spot any potential penis health issues), and then all of a sudden may be examining himself the day of a big date - and see that his skin is all flaky or cracked or peeling. Suddenly, his impressive manhood, which was all set to be admired in a few hours, has become something that looks anywhere from slightly unappealing to seriously off-putting, depending on the state of the dry penis skin.

Preventing dry penis skin

How did this dry penis skin condition come about? There actually are quite a few factors that can account for this situation.

- Friction. Friction is important for sexual stimulation, but too much friction can result in a raw penis and deplete the skin of oils needed to maintain moisturization. That’s why it’s important to use sufficient lubrication when masturbating or when having partner sex if lubrication is insufficient (as can happen during vaginal sex and as is always an issue during anal sex).

- Improper washing. Washing the penis regularly is absolutely essential in order to keep odor, bacteria, and other issues away. That means using a gentle soap or even a moisturizing cleanser rather than a harsh soap with chemicals and fragrances. It also means using warm, not hot, water; hot water showers may feel good, but they can seriously deplete the skin of necessary oils.

- Skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. These are usually accompanied by a rash and can often create a serious dry penis skin situation. Fighting the underlying causes can help solve the dryness issue. This may involve consulting a dermatologist.

- Allergic reactions. Penis skin is very sensitive, and it may develop allergic reactions to certain foods or to certain substances with which it comes in contact. Determining what the allergic "triggers" are is essential in order to keep penis skin looking and feeling healthy and supple.

- Dry air. Sometimes the air in an environment may simply be too dry. When this happens, it can draw moisture from skin, including penis skin. Taking steps to keep the penis skin hydrated can help tremendously.

Men wanting to be more certain that their date night is not ruined by dry penis skin should take preventive steps like those cited above - and should also daily apply a first-rate penis health oil (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). The chosen oil must contain a combination of a high-end emollient (such as shea butter) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin E), to create a "moisture lock" to help keep penis skin hydrated. In addition, the oil should contain vitamin C, a key component of collagen, a tissue in the body that gives skin its tone and elasticity.

Sex Tips: The Successful At-Home Date Night

For many couples, especially long-term ones, a date night is a crucial way to keep a relationship fresh and the fire burning. While many sex tips recommend going out to new and vibrant places, an at-home date night can also be very rewarding - especially with the bedroom in such close proximity for an erotic finale to the evening. Doubtless, a successful at-home date night will benefit from proper attention to penis care, but before the member is brought out to play, the rest of the evening needs to be put together with thought and care.

Think about what she likes.
 
This is a no-brainer, but as with so many sex tips, keeping her wants and tastes foremost when planning the evening is crucial. What foods does she especially like? What sort of pre-bedroom entertainment catches her attention? What kind of decorations or setting will please her? Any partner is pleased when a man exhibits a genuine awareness of her preferences.

Now make it special.
 
Once a man has considered his partner’s likes, he needs to figure out what he can do to kick it up a notch. She may say that ordering in a pizza would be great, but perhaps she’d be even more pleased if her man made one from scratch (assuming he’s decent in the kitchen). If it’s been decided that watching a movie would be nice, don’t just pick out what’s available from the On Demand function. Instead, search out that special RomCom she loves or that movie she saw when she was a little girl and has been dying to see again. And investing in a lovely bouquet of flowers for the dinner table is almost always a good idea.

Consider something different.
 
Dinner and a movie is a fine at-home date, but maybe she’d be in the mood for something else. Consider breaking out some board games, opening up a jigsaw puzzle or playing some cards. Even better, take an existing board game and personalize it. For example, if playing a game in which one buys properties, create cards for the properties that have a personal connection (the restaurant from one’s first date, the hotel from a recent vacation, etc.).

One can move beyond games, of course. Maybe one’s partner would enjoy hearing some passionate love sonnets by a favorite poet read aloud to her. Pre-selecting a number of rhythmic tunes can allow a couple to turn their living room into a dance floor. If a guy has some talent on a musical instrument, he might perform some of his mate’s favorite numbers - and encourage her to sing along to them.

Spice things up a little.
 
Playing poker can be fun; playing strip poker can be fun and arousing. Serving dinner in the nude adds a new flavor to the meal. Adding in a sensual backrub while watching a movie helps prepare a partner for post-movie romping. Whispering bawdy limericks into a mate’s ear while putting together a jigsaw puzzle may make her blush - in a good way, of course.

Finding ways to add a little spice to the at-home date night makes it that much more special. After all, one of the pluses of staying at home on a date is that a couple can behave in a more intimate manner than in public.

As these at-home date night sex tips hopefully will result in a delicious finish to the evening, a guy will want to make sure that his penis is appropriately healthy for the occasion. Regular use of a quality penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) can help. Nothing spoils a carefully cultivated mood more quickly than unveiling one’s manhood and finding it is accompanied by an unpleasant odor. A crème with vitamin A, which has anti-bacterial properties, can help to diminish unfortunate penis odors. Similarly, if the member’s skin is dry and flaky, it isn’t especially inviting. A crème packed with natural moisturizers such as vitamin E and Shea butter can help keep penis skin supple and well-hydrated. A guy should put a lot of effort into an at-home date night - and also into presenting his manhood in the best possible light.
