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...

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 - 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...

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.

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...

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...

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?

Osteoporosis

As the National Osteoporosis Foundation puts it, osteoporosis is "a bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, m...

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...

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.

What is priapism?

Priapism is named after the Gr...
