Small Penis Pride: The Joys of a Modest Endowment

Posted by John Dugan on Monday, October 31, 2016, In : Men's Health 

It’s no news bulletin that penis size is a concern for many men, yet it may come as a surprise to learn that not every man is obsessed with sporting a penis of mammoth proportions. In fact, there are men with what might be considered a small penis who take considerable pride in their equipment and are in no way embarrassed or concerned about it. Such men know that, as long as they practice good penis care, there’s no need to be packing a python when a garter snake can do just as well.

A Red Penis Could Signal Plasma Cell Balanitis

Posted by John Dugan on Monday, October 31, 2016, In : Men's Health 

Men who are well-versed in proper penis care may already know that a red penis can be a sign of skin irritation or inflammation. Balanitis is one of the more common causes, especially among men whose foreskins are intact, but there is a variation on this condition - called plasma cell balanitis (and sometimes referred to as Zoon balanitis) - that is less well-known.

Regular balanitis

Balanitis is defined by Medical News Today as "an inflammation of the glans (the rounded head) of the pe...

Penis Health and Pomegranates: Do They Go Together?

Posted by John Dugan on Saturday, October 29, 2016, In : Men's Health 

Excellent penis health should be the goal of all men, especially those who wish to maintain a vital sex life. There are many components connected to good penis health, and some - such as dietary factors - may not always seem so obvious. Yet the food and drink a man consumes can have a significant impact on the health and performance of his favorite organ. With that in mind, a man may want to look into adding pomegranates to his diet.

Exploring “Mindful” Masturbation

Posted by John Dugan on Friday, October 28, 2016, In : Men's Health 

For most men, masturbation is something they can do without thinking. It’s an easy matter of removing the equipment from its enclosure, applying appropriate lubrication, and then pretty much running on autopilot. But some men have discovered that being more mindful when masturbating can have significant benefits for them. Some men even find that mindful masturbation ensures they pay better attention to their penis health, while at the same time helping them enjoy their solo experiences (an...

Masturbation and Prostate Health: Avoiding Cancer

Posted by John Dugan on Friday, October 28, 2016, In : Men's Health 

For decades there has been a great debate on just how much masturbation mattered to prostate health. How many times did a man have to ejaculate to be assured of the best prostate health, including avoiding the dreaded prostate cancer? Some men swore that regular masturbation was a part of proper penis care and had a great impact on prostate health, while others said that it didn’t matter one way or the other.

But that’s what research into masturbation and prostate health is all about -...

A Sore Penis from When the Brain is Set to “Sex”

Posted by John Dugan on Thursday, October 27, 2016, In : Men's Health 

A guy can get a sore penis for any number of reasons, but often it’s simply due to overuse: his brain gets set in the "sex" position and he continues indulging even when it’s time to give things a rest. As the late Robin Williams once joked, "God gave man both a penis and a brain, but unfortunately not enough blood supply to run both at the same time." Still, in order for a man to engage in appropriate penis care, he really needs to find a way to keep his brain functioning in order to mi...

That Itchy Penis May Be Due to the Bedding

Posted by John Dugan on Wednesday, October 26, 2016, In : Men's Health 

Is there a male alive who hasn’t experienced an uncomfortably itchy penis at one point of another? Guys know that the occasional uncontrollable urge to scratch is going to hit them, even if they practice really good and conscientious penis care. But knowing that some itchiness is inevitable doesn’t mean a guy won’t find ways to minimize this annoyance as much as possible. That’s why he may need to take a little look at his bedding to see if his sheets and blankets may be contributing...

Penis Rash or Bumps: Is it a Sexually Transmitted Disease?

Posted by John Dugan on Wednesday, October 26, 2016, In : Men's Health 

Simply thinking about the consequences of a sexually transmitted disease can be enough to make a man buy the economy size box of condoms. And using condoms each time, especially with a new partner, is a vitally important part of healthy penis care. However, there are some sexually transmitted diseases that are passed through simple skin-to-skin contact, and condoms can’t protect against those.

Penis Ulcers Might Signal Behcet’s Disease

Posted by John Dugan on Tuesday, October 25, 2016, In : Men's Health 

Penis ulcers - sores that can pop up on the penis - are both painful and unsightly. And understandably, they often cause a man to panic. The presence of penis ulcers may denote a serious penis health issue, such as an STI, but they can be caused by other things as well, such as Behcet’s disease.

About penis ulcers

Ulcers are more often associated with body parts other than the penis. For example, many people are familiar with the mouth ulcers that accompany many colds and viruses, and...

Want Better Sex? Keep It Light – Literally

Posted by John Dugan on Monday, October 24, 2016, In : Men's Health 

Men will try all sorts of different things in the never-ending search for better sex (or "even better sex," as some would put it), and why not? A satisfying sex life has an impact on so many other areas of a man’s life, after all. Now it turns out that something as simple as turning on a light may be one path to better sex. Yes, part of a man’s penis care regimen may include getting a little sunshine (or a sunshine equivalent) to help keep his sex drive in gear.

Why a Man’s Penis Wakes Up Before He Does

Posted by John Dugan on Monday, October 24, 2016, In : Men's Health 

One of the most interesting penis problems - assuming it can be called a problem at all - is the presence of morning wood. For some men, the morning flagpole is simply noted and ignored, because it doesn’t bother them at all. But for others, an erection first thing in the morning is very powerful, strong enough to rouse a man from his peaceful slumber and make it tough to get back to sleep. The good news is that regular morning erections are a sign that a man’s penis care efforts are pay...

Penis Health Can be Threatened by Bad Choices

Posted by John Dugan on Sunday, October 23, 2016, In : Men's Health 

It seems an unfortunate rite of manhood - a guy gets aroused to the point of bursting, and then makes a few terrible decisions while in that decidedly impaired state. When the evening is over he can often be found holding his head in his hands, wondering what in the world made him think that what he did last night was okay. No matter how careful he usually is with choosing partners, no matter how good his typical penis care is, and certainly no matter what his better judgment tells him, arou...

A Link Between Erectile Dysfunction and Osteoporosis?

Posted by John Dugan on Sunday, October 23, 2016, In : Men's Health 

Men who struggle with erectile dysfunction already have many challenges. Now a new study indicates that they may have another one: a higher risk of developing osteoporosis. While this does drive home the importance of striving to maintain prime penis health , it seems like a bit of a stretch - so why did the researchers arrive at this conclusion?

Penis Sensitivity and Circumcision: What Men Need to Know

Posted by John Dugan on Saturday, October 22, 2016, In : Men's Health 

Today close to 55% of male babies in the U.S. are circumcised before they leave the hospital; back in the 1980s, the number was at a whopping 85%. That means that today, there are a lot of adult men walking around with a circumcised penis. Many of those circumcisions were performed in the interest of good penis care, with the belief that a circumcised penis is easier to clean. Some of those were performed for religious reasons. And in some cases, circumcised fathers simply wanted the assuran...

Erect Penis Emergency: Dealing with Priapism

Posted by John Dugan on Saturday, October 22, 2016, In : Men's Health 

In most cases, a guy would hardly consider an erect penis to be a crisis. Sure, occasionally popping a noticeable boner while giving a presentation or when meeting a partner’s parents can be embarrassing or awkward, but it’s hardly an emergency. However, when that erect penis is due to priapism, things are quite different. A man needs to take steps in order to maintain his penis health and deal with the pain that accompanies priapism.

Sometimes Penis Bumps May Be Hives

Posted by John Dugan on Wednesday, October 19, 2016, In : Men's Health 

When a man does a major disrobe and presents his manhood to a partner - especially a new partner - the last thing he wants to worry about are unsightly penis bumps. He wants his partner to respond with a delighted "Oooooh!" rather than a displeased "Eww!" Certainly paying close attention to adequate penis health can help prevent penis bumps, but knowing the cause of the condition is necessary for treatment. In some cases, those penis bumps may be classified as hives.

Forget a Chafed Penis – it’s the Refractory Period that’s Annoying

Posted by John Dugan on Wednesday, October 19, 2016, In : Men's Health 

Women are quite fortunate creatures. They can fully enjoy a sexual encounter with an eager and enthusiastic partner, savor the orgasmic bliss that comes from a satisfying romp, and be ready and raring to go again immediately. But for a man, the spirit might be willing but the body, not so much. Even with top-notch penis care, great overall health and more than a little desire for that lovely partner, a man has to deal with the refractory period - a time when no matter how much he wants to en...

Penis Pain and Dealing with Blue Balls

Posted by John Dugan on Monday, October 17, 2016, In : Men's Health 

Every man has heard the term ‘blue balls’ and might have actually experienced it at one time or another. Penis pain that results from sexual frustration is a very real thing, though interestingly enough, there have been no studies on it and there are very few mentions of the phenomenon in medical literature. Though good attention to regular penis care can keep a man healthy and help prevent any other reasons for penis pain, blue balls is another beast altogether.

Penis Rash and Hiking: Itching on the Trail

Posted by John Dugan on Monday, October 17, 2016, In : Men's Health 

Hiking is one of those manly activities that is much more fun and satisfying than it sounds on paper - as long as penis rash doesn’t rear its ugly head. The invigorating, enlivening feeling that a guy gets from becoming one with Nature can be severely diminished when jock itch or other skin conditions intrude upon his enjoyment. Men interested in hiking need to take steps to keep their penis health at a high level, warding off a penis rash or treating it properly if it does arise.

Masturbation Statistics: What’s the Frequency, Dude?

Posted by John Dugan on Saturday, October 15, 2016, In : Men's Health 

Considering that it’s something basically all men are alleged to do, there are surprisingly few current statistics about masturbation. There’s no doubt that it’s a popular hobby, but it would be valuable to have a large-scale, thorough study which focuses on masturbation in the way it deserves to be addressed. Men (and presumably women) are going to masturbate no matter what the actual statistics are, if for no other reason than it’s fun (and also happens to contribute to good penis ...

More than 500,000 men go through ‘the big snip’ each year and live to tell the tale. Though having a vasectomy is definitely not on a man’s list of fun things to do, it can certainly be a very responsible decision for a man’s partner and family. The biggest fear of most men facing a vasectomy is the worries about pain or having a very sore penis. Fortunately, practicing good penis care, according to the doctor’s instruction, can help alleviate the potential discomfort of a vasectom...

Penis Health Matters in Open Relationships

Posted by John Dugan on Thursday, October 13, 2016, In : Men's Health 

Open relationships are quite the debated topic in today’s hook-up culture. Every man has at least considered the concept at one time or another, even if he never chose to act upon the possibilities. Some men truly believe in monogamy and want to be with only one partner, while others eschew monogamy and prefer to seek out multiple partners. Good penis care matters at all times, whether a man is monogamous with his partner or not - but if a man is engaging in open relationships, paying spec...

Posted by John Dugan on Wednesday, October 12, 2016, In : Men's Health 

One of the most common (and most practical) reasons for a man to practice exceptional penis care is to reduce the possibility of situations that can cause penis pain. Intense penis pain can not only be uncomfortable, but can play a role in reducing a man’s sexual activity as well.

Does a Sore Penis Mean a Man is Having Too Much Sex?

Posted by John Dugan on Monday, October 10, 2016, In : Men's Health 

There has long been a saying about men and sex: That it is impossible to have too much. That even ‘bad sex’ is better than no sex. That turning down sex is an absolute travesty and should be avoided at all costs. However, many men have noticed that after a long, enjoyable weekend of intimacy, they might have a very sore penis. Even the best penis care might not alleviate the problem before they want to get things started again.

Sometimes Penis Odor is Related to Antiperspirants

Posted by John Dugan on Monday, October 10, 2016, In : Men's Health 

Antiperspirants have been a lifesaver for many a man. The male body naturally tends to generate aromas, especially when the man is active and sweating, and really good antiperspirants are the key to keeping excess body odor at bay. But what about penis odor? Surprisingly, even when a man is very careful about hygiene and penis health, he may still come down with a rank penis - and it’s possible that use of antiperspirants may be contributing to that problem.

An unwanted erect penis? Some men would say there’s no such thing, but the fact is that in some settings a man really doesn’t want to pop a trouser tent. While a frequent bulge does indicate good penis health, that same erect penis that is such a source of pride (and pleasure) in the right environment can be embarrassing in others.

Despite overwhelming evidence that penis size is not the main factor in sexual satisfaction, most men fret over the size of their member and wish that they had a bigger penis to display.

One of the more unfortunate facts of life as a male is that occasionally, an unpleasant penis odor might occur.
