Posted by John Dugan on Thursday, March 19, 2020, In : Men's Health 

Bad breath in the bedroom may not be your only problem if you have gum disease; your dick may fail you too. Studies show that men in their 30s are 3 times more likely to have difficulty getting erections if they have gum disease. How could they possibly be related? When a man gets that sexual feeling, his healthy blood vessels naturally expand to increase blood flow throughout the body, a process known as vasodilation. However, when blood vessels are degraded by dirty mouths, it reduces dila...

A man always wants his sex life to be on the up and up, but when erectile dysfunction hits, it’s more like on the down and down. If his basic penis health is good - meaning, there’s no clear and overt penis-related issue, like trauma - it may be time to look for other causes. And one of the primary reasons why a man may experience erectile dysfunction is that his cortisol levels are too high.

It’s not crazy to think that most people will have a sexual problem of some type at some point in their lives.

A man and his penis share a hollowed relationship. This relationship, like any other, has its quite literal ups and downs. Nearly 15 percent of men are victims of severe Erectile Dysfunction (ED) in their 70’s.

Gallstones Associated with Erectile Dysfunction Risk

Avoiding erectile dysfunction is clearly a priority for most men and maintaining good penis health is one way to help. However, sometimes there are physical issues which can contribute to erectile dysfunction which may seem to be somewhat far removed from the penis. That’s because the body is a complex, interrelated system, and so a problem in one area of the body can have ramifications in another part. That’s the case with gallstones, which have been found to be associated with a higher ...

Some men may experience better erectile function during the summer months, and there has long been an old wives’ tale that tries to explain the matter. Sure, summertime may just be a period of the year when men feel naturally friskier, or perhaps the exposure to more sunlight and fresh air helps to explain this penis health change. But folk medicine has for centuries encouraged men who have difficulties with their erections to partake of abundantly available watermelon during the summer sea...

Men are fortunate to be living in a world in which our knowledge of sexual health has increased to the point that it has.

Men love to have sex, and if a partner isn’t readily available, a man might just have sex with himself. But in order to do that, many men turn to a virtual partner, the one they find on their computer screen or between the pages of an adult-themed magazine. In fact, taking matters into their own hands is well-known as part of excellent penis care, and most men suffer no penis problems at all from enjoying a little foray into porn from time to time.

Erectile dysfunction is an enormous fear of men everywhere, of any age.

Few things are as worrisome to a man as erectile dysfunction. Despite the fact that many men experience some erectile dysfunction at some point in their lives, it’s a topic that is not openly discussed, even among friends.

Posted by John Dugan on Wednesday, August 24, 2016, In : Men's Health 

There are numerous reasons why men want to ensure their penis health, and one of the most common is the fear of erectile dysfunction. No man is anxious to get into the heat of sexual conquest only to discover that his main weapon is not going to win the battle for him.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is commonly thought of as an old man’s problem. While it’s likely more prevalent among those beyond a certain age, many young men are affected by the condition to varying degrees. In one 2013 study, one-quarter of men under 40 met criteria for the diagnosis of erectile dysfunction.

An Active Penis Now = An Active Senior Penis

"Use it or lose it" is a phrase used in many situations, and it's true with sex as well: an active penis tends to be stronger and healthier than an inactive one. A new study gives further proof that practicing proper penis health as a young man can pay off in one's senior years - as well as in one's prime, of course.

Erectile Dysfunction – How to Increase Blood Flow to the Penis

Posted by John Dugan on Friday, October 31, 2014, In : Men's Health 

One of the primary causes of erectile dysfunction is decreased blood flow to the penis. An erection occurs when a rush of blood engorges chambers in the penis called the corpora cavernosa; without healthy blood flow, the penis simply can’t get hard. The impacts of this condition cannot be overstated: A man’s physical and emotional well-being, as well as his relationship health, may be in jeopardy. Whatever the cause, performance problems are a sign of poor penis health that requires diag...

A healthy sex life is important to a man’s overall well-being, but a lot of things can get in the way of it. Although erectile dysfunction is sometimes rooted in an underlying health condition, one of the main culprits behind an unperky pecker is stress.
