Penis Size Concerns and the Enlargement Products That Prey Off Them

Many men are desperate to increase their penis size. Studies show that, while 95% of men fall within a narrow average range, most men feel they are too small. Society creates strange links between the length of the manhood and a man’s character, along with his sexual abilities. For some men, anxiety around the size of the penis becomes an obsession, inhibiting sexual and therefore penile health.

It is perhaps no surprise, then, that the internet is flooded with advertisements in the form of webpages and Youtube videos devoted to products that promise to enlarge the penis. Creams, pills and strange contraptions are marketed on the basis of men’s unwarranted fears. Let’s take a look at some of the things men can expect from common enlargement methods.

Creams
Some guys turn to creams to fulfil their enlargement dreams. Many creams and oils tout natural ingredients, making them possibly (but not definitely) safe for the delicate male skin. And some of these creams contain nutrients that support penile health.

But no nutrient is going to make the penis bigger. A man may notice that his skin is softer when using a cream; depending on the nutrients, he may be supporting good blood flow to the member. If the cream contains chemicals or fragrances, he may notice irritation, tingling and/or burning.
What he won’t see is a bigger penis.

Pills
As noted above, there are nutrients that support penis health - particularly those that support good circulation. Blood flow into the penis is what creates strong erections, so anything that contributes to healthy circulation stands to benefit sexual health.

Pills may contain herbs and other nutrients that support penile health. As with creams, though, they will not make it bigger.

Another important thing to note is that supplements are not regulated. They may contain ingredients not listed on the package, and they may not contain some of the things they claim to. This means that taking a supplement is a gamble, particularly if the product doesn’t come from a reputable supplier. It’s possible for people to have negative reactions to supplements, so don’t think that natural always means safe.

Stretchers
Some people use stretching devices - either full contraptions or weights that hang off the penis - to increase length. It is possible that, after prolonged use of such devices, the penis may have slightly more length. However, this comes at the cost of girth, which is NOT a boon to sexual performance. Also, the devices can cause tearing of the tissues of the penis, something that is hardly worth the risk.

Pumps
Some guys use penis pumps in hopes of enlarging their members. Pumps serve the purpose of forcing blood into the penis to create an erection. While this is great for many guys with erectile dysfunction, for the average man it is not recommended. Not only does using a pump not permanently increase size, but prolonged or frequent use can actually damage elastic tissue within the penis that is needed to have strong natural erections. On top of this serious drawback, pumps can cause pain, bruising and bleeding under the skin that creates little red dots all over the penis.

If a man wants to invest in a product for his penis, he would be better off going for something that promotes health, not size. Quality lubrications and condoms are worthy investments, as they protect the penis from infections and damage from chafing. Guys can also consider purchasing a penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) to further protect against chafing. This product contains a combination of natural moisturizers (Shea butter and vitamin E) that promote optimal skin health. A man ought to love what he has and treat it well.

Unusual Sex Toys for the Erect Penis

There are hours of endless fun to be had with an erect penis, but even the most ardent fan of masturbation can occasionally get a bit bored with his regular routines. Fortunately, there are any number of sex toys available to make solo playtime more fun (provided one practices appropriate penis care when using them, of course). Most men are familiar with penis rings and the like, but there are quite a few unusual sex toys of which many men may be unaware. Let's take a look at some of these more obscure options for self-pleasuring.

Better with beer.
Beer is the preferred drink for most men and in America, a beer can is a popular symbol of masculinity. Why not combine this favorite masculine drink with the female body part most popular with heterosexual males? Fortunately, someone has, and so a man can easily enliven his masturbatory activities by inserting his penis into a beer can that has been wrapped around a silicone vagina. Having sex with two of his favorite objects at one time should make many a man happy.

Better with a brick.
While the majority of men prefer to have sex with an actual female, sometimes a guy is so excited that he'll be satisfied with anything with an appropriate opening. In Japan, some men satisfy their lustful feelings by using a brick. Not just any brick, of course, but a brick which has a hole drilled through the middle of it. As might be imagined, this is not the most comfortable item to use on sensitive penis skin. Still, for those who like to prove just how tough their member is, it has a certain fascination.

Driving pleasure.
Plenty of men who grow bored on a long car trip have been known to masturbate while driving - a dangerous activity, but a not uncommon one. It can be made a bit safer by utilizing specially designed sex toys that are placed on the erect penis in order to simulate oral sex. Many such sex toys are designed specifically for use in the automobile and can be plugged into the car's cigarette lighter outlet. It's still not safe, though, and such a toy is best used when a man is pulled over in a discreet location.

Bibbing it.
One of the problems with masturbating is that semen tends to splatter all around the crotch, creating quite a mess - especially if one is self-gratifying while wearing clothes. A masturbation bib - a large, circular paper towel with a hole in the middle for penis insertion - can help to make post-ejaculation clean-up much easier.

Animal-style anal plugs.
Anal plugs can provide pleasurable stimulation for masturbatory activities. For the man who has a special identification with animals, some plugs have been built to resemble tails. The corkscrew pig tail plug seems to be especially popular among this niche audience.

Alien love dolls.
Sci-fi enthusiasts can get a special thrill from inflatable dolls with a fairly humanoid female form - but with more options, such as three breasts and multiple orifices for insertion. Many come in skin tones not typically found on Earth and while most lack extra limbs, the enterprising sci-fi fan can find a DIY way to add arms or legs himself.

Clearly, there's a wide range of sex toys available for the adventurous owner of an erect penis, although he may have to do some searching to find some of the more obscure ones. Whether using a toy or an old-fashioned hand, men need to regularly employ a top-notch penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) to keep the penis healthy and to soothe it after lengthy self-love sessions. Excessive and aggressive rubbing can make an erect penis quite raw, so finding a crème that contains a combination of a high-end emollient (such as Shea butter) and a natural hydrator (vitamin E is excellent) is required. Also very helpful: a crème with acetyl L-carnitine in its ingredients list. Acetyl L-carnitine is neuroprotective and can help restore sensitivity lost from too much rough handling of the member. Self-pleasuring can get out of hand sometimes, so an exceptional crème is needed to maintain proper health.

Healthy Penis Pride - Compliments Guys Want to Hear in Bed

Getting compliments in bed is something all guys enjoy, and presenting a healthy penis one can take pride in increases the chances of hearing praise from a bedmate. Receiving flattering praise is good reinforcement for practicing proper penis care, but what are some of the specific things a guy wants to be told? Ladies, take note of the following.

Praise for performance.
This one is a given. Every guy likes to be told that his sexual performance was awesome. Even men who possess a high degree of self-confidence like to know that their expertise is appreciated. There are any number of ways a woman can express her admiration. Certainly a simple "That was incredible!" goes a long way, but there are other routes as well: "I’m going to be tingling for weeks," "Whew! Where in the name of God did you learn that?" and "You’ve spoiled me for all other men" are surefire winners. So is giving the man a new nickname, such as Conan or Maximus. Think any of these are a little over the top? When stroking a guy’s sexual ego, there’s no such thing as too far or too much.

Speak about size.
This is also a given. No matter how modestly endowed a man may be, he wants to be told that his member is a worthy player in the game of sex. Sometimes this may require fudging the truth a bit: "Once it was inside me, it felt so massive," for example. As with performance, it’s practically impossible to over-praise the size of a man’s organ. So have a field day with it!

Don’t neglect the looks of the manhood.
Size isn’t everything, of course. A guy also likes to be told that what he has between his legs is as handsome as the rest of him. When dealing with a healthy penis, this is easy to accomplish. Among the things one can compliment about a guy’s member are the following:

- The shape. Whether it’s straight as an arrow or has a pronounced bend, a woman scores points for mentioning how precisely the shape of the member fit inside her and how its shape seems sculpted especially to give her pleasure.
- The skin. When soft, a penis often has wrinkly skin, but when erect it becomes firm and taut. Let a man know how smooth and supple the skin feels. Pay special attention to skin that is properly moisturized; a guy wants points for keeping dry, flaky skin at bay.
- The color. A nice, even skin tone deserves notice. While it’s natural for there to be variation in hue from one part of the penis to another, men like to avoid splotchiness or red rashes that can spoil the appearance. Give a guy a pat on the back for success in this area.
- The aroma. Or lack thereof, actually. A slight muskiness can be arousing, but far too many men find themselves cursed with a penis that emits a hard-to-get-rid-of unpleasant odor.

Guys who work hard to maintain a healthy penis are likely to get more compliments on the appearance of their manhood. If a man’s organ is lacking in this area, his partner can suggest that he makes a superior penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) a part of his daily routine. When that crème comes with vitamin A, the man is taking a step toward banishing unwanted odor. Vitamin A has anti-bacterial properties that attack the root of aromatic issues. A crème with a potent antioxidant like alpha lipoic acid is also crucial for ensuring the health of the manhood skin, as it fights the premature aging of penile cells. And if L-arginine is among the ingredients in the crème, so much the better; this ingredient assists in oxygenation of penile cells and helps to avoid the sight of broken capillaries. A proper crème will enhance a man’s pride and make his manhood an even more welcome gift to his partner.

Oral Sex: Tips for Him and Her

Both men and women enjoy mixing oral sex into their love lives, but too often the activity is approached with perhaps less preparation and thought than is appropriate. There are any number of tips that can help both sexes make the oral sex experience even more pleasurable, and some are shared below. One tip for men to remember before all others: Make sure that one's regular penis care routine keeps the penis in the kind of physical condition that makes a woman more likely to perform orally. A penis that looks (or smells) unhealthy is not a penis she wants to wrap her lips around.

Tips for Her

• Be confident. Really, this tip applies to both men and women. A lover who is sure of him/herself tends to be more satisfying. Sometimes a woman approaches oral sex with a penis a bit tentatively. A man likes it when a woman preps his penis with assurance and launches into oral gratification with a purpose and a goal.

• Go bit by bit. Don't feel obligated to take in large portions of the shaft right away. A man usually prefers to have a woman run her tongue around the tip of his penis and the glans for a while, and then to slowly take the shaft into her mouth an inch or so at a time. This also helps the woman to adapt to the feel of the penis and to reduce the gag reflex that can accompany oral sex on a male.

• Take breaks. Having an erect manhood in the mouth can become tiring, so find times to remove the member from the mouth. Licking the shaft or engaging in manual stroking during these breaks can keep the momentum going for him.

• Cool it down. Adding a bit of coolness to the oral sex experience can be mind-blowing for a man. Keep a glass of cold water by the bed and occasionally take a sip and then return to gratifying the penis. The change in temperature on his hot penis will be very pleasurable for him.

Tips for Him

• Don't rush in.  Guys tend to like to get down to business with sex. Just as with intercourse, it sometimes pays to do a little "warming up" of one's lady love before opening up the oral pleasure chest. Make sure to engage in plenty of kissing, caressing and gentle stroking of the breasts, vagina and other erogenous zones before engaging in cunnilingus.

• Take your time. A woman wants to enjoy this experience and doesn't want to feel rushed. Start slowly and don't feel like there's a timetable that needs to be adhered to.

• Tell her you enjoy it, too. Even if a guy doesn't particularly like giving oral sex, he should be generous during the moment. Find ways to enjoy it more and let the lady know that giving her pleasure is something that gives a man great pleasure.

• Follow her lead. As the oral sex progresses, she may want a few different approaches. If she asks for something different, accommodate her; it isn't a criticism, just some helpful guidance.

• Use a pillow. Propping her pelvis on a pillow makes access to her full vaginal area easier and enables a man to provide greater oral pleasure.

One last tip: Guys who want oral sex should use a first-class penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) to keep the penis appealing. If a guy's member tends to emit an unpleasant aroma, a crème with the anti-bacterial power of vitamin A will help head that odor off at the pass. If a guy's manhood has dry, flaky skin, using a crème with a high-end emollient (like Shea butter) can help moisturize the penis and make the skin smooth and attractive. And a cream with a powerful antioxidant (such as alpha lipoic acid) is going to help offset oxidative and aging processes in cell metabolism that can cause an unwanted wrinkled look to the penis. The best of tips: A woman will be more open to oral sex if she is presented with a healthy penis.

Penis Pain: Avoiding the Agony of Penis Fracture

Aggressive sexual activity can be fun, but it also brings with it the fairly common risk of penis pain as well as the fortunately not-so-common risk of penis fracture. This is a situation that any man wants to avoid. Taking appropriate precautions is a part of basic penis care, and well worth it when one considers the agony involved in fracturing the member.

Does the penis break?
Men often speak about the fear of "breaking" their penis, but a fractured penis is different than a broken arm or leg. In the latter cases, the fracture occurs in the bone of the limb. The penis doesn't actually have a bone (despite the nickname "boner" for an erection), but that doesn't mean it can't be fractured.
When one speaks of a penis fracture, one is referring to a tear in the tunica albuginea, which is a tough fibrous layer of tissue surrounding the spongy tissue in the member. The tunica albuginea plays a role in the erection of the manhood, so it's something a guy wants to keep in good shape.
When the penis fractures, there is usually a cracking sound and a lot of pain. This is quickly followed by hemorrhaging and a fairly immediate loss of erection. (Fracturing only occurs when the penis is in an aroused state.)

How does it happen?
Penis fractures generally occur during rough, aggressive or acrobatic sexual encounters; they occur most often during partner-based sex, but it is definitely possible to fracture the penis during solo sexual activity.
The fracturing happens when the erect penis is slammed against an object that is harder than the penis and lacks flexibility. During partner-based sex, this is most likely to occur when a man is vigorously thrusting his penis into the vagina and approaches from an angle such that his penis thrusts into the woman's pelvic bone.
Penis fractures incurred while masturbating typically happen when a man is simulating intercourse. For example, many men masturbate by thrusting their manhood between a pillow and another object, such as a mattress. Doing so at an inappropriate angle can cause a fracture.

Interestingly, a small study in 2001 indicated that penis fractures are more likely to occur during occasions when a man engages in extramarital sex and/or when having sex in unusual places or positions.
In the event of a fracture, a man should see a doctor immediately to determine the proper course of action.

Precautions
There are several things men can do to help prevent penis fractures.

- Take it a little slower. In the heat of the moment, this may be easier said than done. But men need to make sure that they are thrusting at an appropriate angle when they get into power-drive mode.

- Choose positions with care. Exploring a new sex position can be a wonderful experience; however, the unfamiliarity of the position means a man may need to take things a little more cautiously until he is comfortable enough to go full throttle. This may be especially true of the reverse cowgirl position (in which a man lies down and the woman sits upon his penis, facing away from the man), which a recent study indicated may be more likely to be involved in penis fracture situations.

- Masturbate with care. Especially when simulating intercourse, be sure that the objects used are not too hard and inflexible.

Penis pain can occur not only from a fracture but from many other instances of rough, aggressive or over-frequent sexual activity. An excellent method for treating common penis pain is the application of a first-class penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil). The soothing effects of natural moisturizers such as Shea butter and vitamin E, found in the best crèmes, helps to alleviate that pain while restoring vitality to the skin. Pain due to fractures may also benefit from a crème with vitamin C. Much of the tunica albuginea consists of collagen, and vitamin C aids in collagen production. Recovery from a penis fracture can take time, so taking steps to reduce the penis pain during recovery is essential.

Penis Health: 8 Foods to Eat

A man’s diet can impact all aspects of his health, and sexual health is no exception. In the areas of promoting ample blood flow to facilitate strong erections, maintaining a healthy sex drive and taking care of penile skin, diet is highly relevant. Knowing what foods to eat for maximum penis health is, then, something worth pursuing.

Men should note that, though many websites and videos claim that certain foods or supplements can make the penis bigger, this is not so. So, while men should keep their expectations realistic, they should know that there are many potential benefits of getting those same nutrients in the area of health, if not size.
Incorporate the following foods into one’s regimen for healthy sexual function:

1) Bananas: This phallic fruit packs in potassium, a nutrient that promotes heart health and therefore good circulation. An influx of blood to the penis is what creates erections, so keeping the blood flowing supports erectile function. Bananas are easy to work into one’s day - have one as a quick snack, slice one up into yogurt or cereal, blend one into a smoothie, etc.
2) Watermelon: This juicy fruit contains citrulline, which can boost functioning of smooth muscle. Smooth muscle in the penis plays a primary role in erections.
3) Salmon: Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for the body in a number of ways, including nerve function. Maintaining sensitive and responsive penile nerves throughout life is important for sexual function and enjoyment. Omega-3s also promote good circulation.
4) Avocado: This fruit is full of folate, which promotes healthy sperm. It also contains good fats, which help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and, therefore, good circulation.
5) Dark Chocolate: The flavonoids in this rich treat are great for circulation. It also contains plenty of antioxidants, which work to repair cell damage and protect cells from further damage.
6) Oysters: These sexy sea creatures facilitate the release of dopamine, one of the body’s feel-good chemicals. They also contain lots of zinc, which is important for maintaining testosterone levels. That hormone is crucial for a healthy sex drive and erectile ability.
7) Chili Peppers: Chilies are loaded with vitamin C, which both promotes healthy circulation and boosts collagen production in the body. Collagen helps keep skin tissue firm and youthful - something no man wouldn’t want for his penis.
8) Eggs: Eggs are a good source of B vitamins, which are important for healthy testosterone levels.
Proper diet is imperative not only to the health of the penis, but that of the heart, liver, pancreas and other vital organs. Eating well plays a primary role in the prevention of heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers and other health conditions that can both shorten life span and significantly reduce the quality thereof.

Along with eating well, men should not underestimate the importance of getting plenty of exercise.
Cardiovascular exercise, while most obviously benefitting the heart and lungs, also benefits the penis, which relies on an ample supply of oxygen and blood for erectile ability.

A healthy diet isn’t the only way for men to acquire penis-friendly nutrients. Men can apply them directly to the manhood skin with a quality penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil). A crème with vitamin E will help moisturize the skin, which may be prone to chafing and dryness from the various frictions of daily life. Vitamin C can rejuvenate the skin, since it promotes collagen production. Also look for acetyl L-carnitine; this ingredient may protect penile nerves, keeping them responsive. This is important, since years of rough handling can lead to reduced sensitivity. In conjunction with a healthy lifestyle, a penis health crème can ensure prolonged penile function and attractiveness.

Penis Exposure Safety Tips for the Exhibitionist

Exhibitionism is a common sexual fantasy for men and women alike. Exposing part of one’s body in a sudden manner can feel both liberating and sexually thrilling. But the exhibitionist must take extreme care when acting out his or her fantasy. For a man, penis exposure can easily become a legal issue, not to mention a moral one. Viewing another’s sexual organ is a sexual act and, as such, requires explicit consent. While it may seem like a fantasy best resisted, then, one shouldn’t forget that a satisfying sexual life is important in many areas, from penis health to mental well-being. Therefore, it’s important for men to learn about safe, legal and moral ways in which they may indulge their desires. (And if that doesn’t work, men should seek out the assistance of a sex therapist.)

Role Play
If the idea of exposing oneself in a public setting is very enticing to a man, he may want to find a consenting partner, or multiple partners, with whom to act out such scenarios. They may, for example, place chairs in rows to mimic a bus or train, and the "passengers" can engage themselves in reading the paper or listening to music while the exhibitionist unzips his pants. He may draw different reactions from the different passengers, and how far he takes his exposure depends on his fantasy. He may simply want his penis to be seen; he may want to play with it; he may want others to get physical with him.

This is but one example of role playing. Men can act out scenarios at clubs, on the beach, in the locker room, etc. A man may toy around with different levels of exposure in each scenario, from touching his manhood to masturbating to engaging in sexual activity with one or more partners.

Surprised Partner
If the element of surprise is important to a man, he may want to consider seeking out a partner who likes to be surprised. Such a partner might get a thrill from unexpected dick pics or from entering the room to find the exhibitionist suddenly exposed. In such an arrangement, boundaries need to be laid out and made crystal clear. Two people should talk about boundaries before engaging in any type of sexual activity, and should touch base throughout their relationship and update parameters if necessary.

Find a Party/Club
Sometimes there’s nothing like being watching by strangers, and men with such a desire may find fulfillment by attending a club that provides designated spaces for open exposure or sexual activity. A man may also find himself invited to a party at another like-minded individual’s house where couples can get together and enjoy themselves.

Finding out about such places and events may be the tricky part. One resource men can try is FetLife, an online community primarily comprised of kinksters. Seeing what the community is like in one’s area can be a good place to start. Many communities hold "munches" - non-sexual, informal gatherings for making connections in one’s area. One may find himself informed of places and events to his liking at such a gathering.

Proper penis upkeep is important for any man, but the man who likes to get maximum exposure should take particular care that what he’s presenting is in peak shape. Along with regular washing, a man should take care of his skin condition by using a quality penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) on a daily basis. Such a moisturizer, particularly designed for the penis, will keep the skin resilient and radiant without causing irritation from harsh chemicals or fragrances. Look for a combination of Shea butter, vitamin E and vitamin C, which will provide plenty of natural hydration while promoting penile tissue firmness and a youthful appearance. Treat the member well, and present it proudly!
