In the heat of the moment - whether solo or with a partner - the only thing a man is likely to register in terms of penis sensation is the pleasure that the action brings. During sexual activity, a man’s brain is tuned into one thing only, and other sensations such as pain may be put on the back burner until the conclusion of the matter at hand. On the other hand, inattention to details like personal lubricants can mean that once the session is over, a guy can be left with a throbbing, sor...

The old saying "use it or lose it" can be applied to nearly anything, and when it comes to penis function and overall health, it is especially true. A lazy penis that rarely gets up and goes is much more likely to put on a limp performance when the opportunity arises than one that is in top form. Like the rest of the body, keeping the penis in shape requires some effort at physical conditioning. Activities that benefit the whole body are a good place to start. But for men who just don’t ha...

Scientists that have hovered over the bouncing beds of thousands of couples suggest that an average sex session lasts for about 7 minutes; and for couples who are pressed for time, some non-essential steps can be skipped, allowing guys to cross the finish line in the time it takes to microwave a packet of popcorn. Sex like this might be efficient, but it might also be over before both partners are fully satisfied and ready to switch gears and go about their daily business.

However, on thos...

The Kama Sutra is, at its heart, a playbook for mind-blowing sex. Different positions, alternating speeds and even radical new techniques for foreplay are all detailed in this ancient book, and men who want to really up the ante in the bedroom can find much to enjoy here. However, much of a man's sex life might take place when he's completely alone, and the book is remarkably silent on masturbation techniques. In fact, the author seems to suggest that masturbation shouldn't be part of a man'...

When it comes to the goings-on behind the closed door of an adult bedroom, most couples seem to think sex and masturbation are mutually exclusive. In other words, if a couple is having sex they are not - or should not - masturbate, and vice versa. Interestingly enough, sex and masturbation have more of a yin-yang relationship, in which they actually complement each other and can work together to make sex as a couple more enjoyable. Learn more about how masturbation - and even mutual masturba...

These days, there are few things a man can experience that a woman can’t, and vice versa. Two exceptions to this rule are: giving birth and penis pain. Though a swift nut shot is certainly no walk in the park, a laboring woman would certainly select that type of pain over giving birth any day. Even still, no man in his right mind goes around looking for penis pain. Learn what steps can be taken to avoid it and how to maintain a healthy penis here.

A wet dream can be a male’s first experience with ejaculation, and for many, it can happen quite frequently. Unfortunately, the subject of wet dreams is not often brought up by parents or doctors, and many boys - and even men - believe that something is wrong with them when they wake up with a sticky patch in their briefs.

This misunderstanding is often perpetuated by well-meant but erroneous advice from older adults and others who may warn against wet dreams based on traditional beliefs...

Achieving ultimate bliss, either with a partner or through a little alone time, is what every red-blooded male desires, but a sore penis can result from over-zealous pursuit of this goal. Numerous activities that men engage in can lead to penis injury, ranging from surface abrasions to serious tissue damage. Some common sense care and tips for promoting better penis health can help men to avoid both immediate pain and long-term consequences.

Some of the riskier techniques that men may empl...

Let's face it: Having an itchy penis is a good excuse to indulge in a little autoerotic activity. Now, when that crotch needs scratching in the privacy of one's own home, there's no problem. But when the masturbation location is elsewhere, a guy may need to exercise a little restraint. Engaging in proper penis care doesn't mean making a public nuisance of oneself, so here are a few places to avoid when heeding the call.

Okay, it's true that a lot of guys have hauled their p...
