Who doesn’t enjoy knocking back a cold one? For many guys this is a ritual for weekends with the buddies, and it can certainly get a bit out of hand on holidays and celebrations. And many a man has faced the consequences of having too much to drink, then trying to get things going with a lovely partner, only to discover that penis function is decidedly affected by his alcohol intake. But just how bad can that penis function issue be?

Alcohol and Penis Function

Everyone knows the feelin...

Penis function is a valuable and important subset of penis health and one which, when in the midst of sexual situations, is of primary importance to a man. After all, when with a partner in bed, the last thing a man wants to be concerned about is whether his penis will operate in the manner that is expected. Often, penis function matters revolve around erectile issues or around premature ejaculation, but there can be other penis function concerns - such as anejaculation.

Got good penis health? Men who follow these articles know how important maintaining proper penis health can be and, thankfully, many take steps to ensure that health. One of the benefits of good penis health is that it helps to maintain proper penis function as well. Just as overall penis health should be checked regularly, it doesn’t hurt to have an assessment of penis function now and then. This gives a good idea of any current or potential issues that might need treating or watching.

There’s nothing to make a guy feel like a whole new man than a really good night’s sleep. Unfortunately, there can be numerous conditions which get in the way of achieving that good night’s sleep, such as restless legs syndrome. But in some cases, not only can restless legs syndrome interfere with sleep, it can become a penis health issue as well by potentially affecting good penis function.

About this syndrome

Although restless legs syndrome has likely been around for thousands of...

Penis function is sometimes wrapped up in penis health, but generally the former has to do with how well the organ in question is fulfilling its duties and obligations. Often when a man mentions penis function, it’s in the context of erectile issues (good or bad). But that’s not always the case. For example, matters that revolve around semen and semen production also can fall in the penis function category. And one of the semen issues a man might have some questions about is the volume o...

Although there are some men who, at least on occasion, are up to the task of performing sexually 2 or more times in a row without a real break, they are by far the exception and not the rule. No matter what excellent penis care a man may take, it’s hard to perform "serially" like that because the penis simply isn’t made that way. Regular penis function, in terms of how much time needs to elapse between ejaculations, is generally known as the refractory period, and every man has one - eve...

This is something that many men have been told countless times but which still bears repeating: Penis health can be impacted by issues that don’t originate in the penis – and that applies to penis function as well. While some penis function issues have a clear link to the penis, such as a line drive baseball smacking solidly against the penis, other penis function issues may have origins that are less clear. In some cases, anemia may be a big contributing factor to some penis function iss...

Almost 10% of U.S. citizens have it, although many are unaware of it. That comes to over 30 million adult Americans, of which more than 7 million don’t know their status. We’re speaking here of diabetes, a serious medical condition which for men can have serious penis health implications. While there are plenty of other reasons to be concerned about diabetes, the fact that it can impede penis function should add to every man’s efforts to avoid this condition and to see it if properly tr...

That social media has become a ubiquitous part of our lives is news to exactly no one. It is likely that every person reading this tweets or reads tweets, likes or dislikes posts, and shares pictures using one social media platform or another. Social media does not, per se, have a direct link to penis health; however, as arguably the main medium for self-expression and public communication in contemporary times, social media is a rich field for exploring attitudes toward everything, including...

Lots of guys are proud of having a big penis, and other men with less-impressive packages may feel insecure about the size of their equipment. Yet in the bedroom, penis size gives way in importance to penis health and to penis function; clearly, a healthy, if small, penis that functions well and is handled with skill is preferable to a flabby monster that can’t get the job done. Of course, men with penises of all sizes – and shapes and ages, etc. – may experience penis function issues, ...

Mention penis function issues and what comes to mind to most men is either premature ejaculation or an inability to attain and/or maintain an erection. These are definitely penis function issues, but they are far from the only penis health issues which impact function of the organ. One of the lesser-known such issues is delayed ejaculation, sometimes called retarded ejaculation. And it’s a subject which deserves more study from the sexual health community.

What is delayed ejaculation?

In ...

As penis health issues go, increasing semen volume is not usually high one the list. The exception, of course, is when a man is trying to conceive a child with a partner; however, in that instance, the penis function situation is likely to be more about increasing sperm volume, which is not the same as semen volume. Sperm of course, is a component of semen but semen is made up of other elements as well. No, for most men, a desire to increase semen volume is more for physical show – a penis ...

When penis function is fine, a man’s sex life is so much easier. Every guy wants his penis function to always hum along smoothly like a well-tended motor. But occasionally there can be a few penis health hiccups along the way, a few things that may impede proper function. One of the more unusual such penis function issues is known as retrograde ejaculation.

What is retrograde ejaculation?

Most men are already familiar with the term (and the experience of) ejaculation – that is, the expul...

Mention premature ejaculation in a group of guys and someone is almost bound to jokingly claim that he has just the opposite penis health problem. In fact, delayed ejaculation (sometimes called retarded ejaculation or prolonged ejaculation or impaired ejaculation) can be a very legitimate penis function problem – and one that can be frustrating both to those who suffer from it and their sexual partners.

What it is

Just as premature ejaculation involves a man who ejaculates much earlier tha...

It’s no news that we prefer things that work rather than things that don’t work, and so a man is much happier when he is blessed with good penis function rather than faulty penis function. Maintaining a proper level of penis health is one way to help maintain penis function, but sometimes issues arise outside of pen is health which can impact function. For example, health conditions that develop elsewhere in the body may have a secondary effect on the penis. Surprisingly, this can be the...

There are hundreds of reasons to focus on penis health, but one reason why men make it a priority is because a healthy penis is generally in a better position to perform better sexually. Almost every man worries at some point about penis function and how an issue in this area could impact his sex life. One of the more common penis function challenges involves premature ejaculation.

Guys don’t like to talk about premature ejaculation, much less admit that they suffer from it, but it is actu...

When penis health is good, penis function is more likely to be good as well. But sometimes there are conditions which indirectly affect penis function. One such example may occur when a man suffers from iron overload, that is, an excess amount of iron in his system.

Iron is basically good

Now, as any boy who is told to eat his spinach or take his vitamins knows, the body needs iron. In most cases, iron is a good thing. This mineral is an essential component of hemoglobin, which takes iron ou...

More than 30 million Americas – 9.4% of the population – are thought to have diabetes – and about a quarter of them don’t know it. Equally alarming, some 84 million Americans are considered to be in a pre-diabetes condition. This serious medical condition can have a huge impact upon a person’s health – and upon a man’s penis health as well. Knowing how diabetes can affect penis function is valuable information for every man.

Diabetes

Although diabetes affects both men and women...

Constipation is not something that people like to talk about, let alone experience, but it is unfortunately a fact of life for many people. Surprisingly, this digestive condition can potentially have an impact on some men’s penis health, although certainly not all men who have constipation will suffer negative effects on their penis function. Nevertheless, because it does happen to some men, it’s good for guys to know about this constipation connection.

About the condition

As many readers know, penis health can be a bit complicated. Some of it is easy and directly involves the penis, such as caring for dry penis skin or checking for signs of sexually-transmitted infections. Other times, penis care may relate to parts of the body beyond the organ itself. Such is the case with spinal cord injuries, which have the potential to impact penis health, sometimes significantly.

The spinal cord

The spinal cord is "a long, thin, tubular bundle of nervous tissue and ...

One reason that guys like to practice good penis health is that it can have an impact on their penis function. There are many components to good penis health, such as proper penis hygiene, use of protection during sexual encounters, and maintenance via application of a penis health crème. But for many men, one way to help maintain or sometimes boost penis function is through penis-specific exercises.

Keep it in play

Although the penis isn’t a muscle, it needs to be treated like one in...

Even the best players are happy to find a way to improve their sex game, and why not? Since a better sex game means more enjoyment and pleasure, why not work to improve it? Clearly, proper penis function and excellent penis health are major components of any guy’s sex game. So let’s take a look at some penis function tips that players of every level need to be aware of.

Get some shut-eye.

When focusing on penis function, it’s easy to forget that the penis is affected by general hea...

Considering the fact that many men worry about premature ejaculation (and at least 30% of men have experience with this issue), it may come as a surprise that there are some men with the opposite penis function problem - delayed ejaculation. Indeed, because many guys think that being able to have sex for an extended period of time is something to strive for, delayed ejaculation is often viewed as a "what are you complaining about, buddy?" situation. But it is a legitimate penis health issue,...

When the weekend rolls around, many men have one thing on their mind: taking advantage of their free time to enjoy some delightful sexual escapades, either with a partner or alone. Such weekend sex warriors are anxious to make the most of their time off, and the last thing they want to have to contend with is a penis function issue. While there are no guarantees that the penis will always cooperate in any given situation, the following tips may come in handy in helping to keep penis function...

When it comes to penis fun, a guy knows what to do - and it usually ends with an orgasm. But if knowledge is power, then a man who has a little more knowledge about his orgasms and penis care might have a much better time in bed. Here are a few eye-opening facts about orgasm that a man needs to know for optimum penis fun.

1) Not every guy gets off. Up to 25 percent of all men who engage in sexual activity don’t actually reach orgasm while doing it. However, that number doesn’t say why ...

Spending time at the gym helps a guy keep his body in better physical shape, and even though it can be tough, most men appreciate the difference it can make. And just as regular exercise can play a big role in overall health, so can penis exercise contribute to penis health and function. Guys concerned about penis function may want to consider initiating a penis exercise regimen to see what changes it may bring about.

Use it or lose it

For some men, the only penis exercise that they nee...

When it comes to all things sex, looks matter. That’s something that gets drilled into everyone from the moment they are old enough to pay attention to billboard ads or notice the perfectly airbrushed women in magazines. But it’s important to remember that even the best penis care doesn’t result in an airbrushed penis - and that a man’s body is probably never going to measure up to those models on the billboards. Why? Because Photoshop manipulation is everywhere!

But many men who a...

After a robust workout at the gym, nothing feels quite so good as spending a little time in a sauna or steam room. The concentrated heat pouring over the body seeps into the muscles and relaxes them after their exertions and helps a guy wind down. But is there any reason to wonder if using a sauna (or similar options, like a steam room) could have an impact on penis health, and in particular, on penis function? It’s a good question and one which those concerned about their penis should con...

Typically, when a man hears about a problem with penis function, he associates it with an erectile issue or premature ejaculation. However, for some men a penis function issue may be in another area, such as delayed ejaculation. Comprehensive penis care involves treating any issue which may arise, so when delayed ejaculation is a concern, it’s important to know the possible causes. One of these is a relatively rare condition which doctors term hyperprolactinemia.

What is hyperprolactinem...

Premature ejaculation is a concern for many men, but another penis function issue is considerably rarer: spontaneous ejaculation. As the name implies, spontaneous ejaculation is a release of semen which occurs without any physical - and sometimes without any mental - stimulation. Since penis function is part of proper penis health, understanding spontaneous ejaculation helps a man know more about caring for his equipment.

Not nocturnal emission

Technically, many instances of nocturnal e...

There’s a lot of truth in the old adage "you are what you eat," as it indicates that the food a person consumes has much more of an impact than simply sating the appetite. As surprising as it may seem, diet can indeed have an effect on a guy’s penis health, including his penis function. And since the penis is one part of the body that a man clearly wants to keep functioning at the highest possible level, it’s worth looking at how diet might affect penis function.

With yoga schools and classes available practically everywhere in the country, there’s no excuse for any person interested in yoga not to dive right in. And men who are interested in maintaining their penis health might want to investigate a little downward facing dog or warrior positions. Yes, practicing yoga can be a good way to support good penis function - and that’s something every man values.

Yoga has been around for centuries, although only in recent decad...

How is this for ironic: Heartburn is one of the most common side effects of medications designed to promote proper penis function among those with erectile challenges. But heartburn can itself negatively impact a guy’s penis function! Well, no one ever said that maintaining good penis health would be easy. But just how does heartburn come into play with the manhood? After all, the stomach and the penis are hardly in the same physical neighborhood. However, a little investigation can reveal...

A guy who is hitting the bed with a partner doesn’t have time to worry about proper penis function - and yet far too many men do have erectile dysfunction issues that impact the pleasure they and their partners enjoy. Certainly excellent penis care can help decrease the chances of erratic penis function, but sometimes much more is needed to help a man perform at the sexual level he desires. Recent years have seen the development of pills with a significant impact on erectile dysfunction, b...

Penis function and penis health are often related, as a healthy penis is more likely to function in a more effective manner. However, sometimes penis function is less a matter of health and more a matter of other physiological or psychological factors. This is often the case with premature ejaculation, a condition of concern to many men. Interestingly enough, a May 2017 presentation at the American Urological Association indicated that there may be help for premature ejaculation from a surpr...

While exceptional penis health is a laudable goal, sometimes a man needs to focus a little less on the superficial health and more on the practical penis function. Very often a penis may seem to be in good health but the penis function may be impacted nevertheless. For example, a man who suffers from anejaculation may have a strong erection, good urinary flow, well-moisturized penis skin and other earmarks of good health but still be deficient in the area of functionality.

Masturbation is enjoyable in and of itself, but sometimes a guy likes to add something different to his penis fun. Clearly, sex toys are one of the go-to options here, but there can be drawbacks. For example, a dude might not have one on hand when he wants one, or they may not fit into his tight budget. That’s where DIY sex toys come in - and as long as attention is paid to ensuring they don’t impact good penis health, the homemade possibility gives a man the opportunity to be creative i...

Loss of erectile function is not just a problem for older men. A significant number of younger men - even those in their late teens and early twenties - may experience erection problems that inhibit their ability to enjoy a normal sex life. This problem can be distressing, frustrating, and embarrassing - not to mention self-fulfilling, as men who are worried about their ability to perform may inadvertently cause loss of penis function through anxiety alone. Fortunately, there is a vast numbe...

Until the 1990s, medical researchers were not really aware of the important role that L-arginine plays in penis function. While they understood that it affects heart health overall, its benefits for sexual health were just coming to light. In fact, without L-arginine, neither men nor women are able to enjoy sex. This article discusses the way that L-arginine functions in the body and in the male reproductive organs, as well as how it should be part of any penis care regimen.

What is it, an...

Penis health is crucial for a good sex life; that much seems obvious. But many men forget that overall body health also plays a factor in the quantity and quality of one's romantic activities. Many guys think about keeping their bodies in good shape for their trips under the bedcovers, but not everyone consider how something as simple as indigestion can affect their penis function. The best penis care includes remembering that the stomach can have a say in how active a man's "best friend" ma...

Loss of penis function is often chalked up to a side effect of getting older, and it’s true that many men experience erectile health problems as they age. However - and this should come as good news to many men - erectile dysfunction is not strictly related to aging, and men can enjoy a healthy sex life well into their senior years. On the other hand, the issue is a complex one, with many factors that can affect the ability to get hard and stay hard. One of these is one that men can easily...

As most men are surely aware, the boys downstairs are exceptionally sensitive. A misplaced blow to the balls can lead to writhing agony, and even such pleasurable acts as masturbation or sex can leave the penis feeling raw and sore. Sometimes, though, the simple daily choices that a man makes can lead to poor penis function, and in some cases, fertility could be impaired. Being aware of these issues and knowing how to avoid them can help keep the penis healthy and performing at its best.

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...

Most men assume that as long as they are generally in good health, they will also have a healthy penis, and in most cases, guys give little thought to penis care beyond keeping it clean, and maybe rolling on the protection during intimate encounters. However, there is more to maintaining adequate penis function than eating right and exercising, and almost every man can benefit from the right attention to penis care.

The penile tissue is delicate, complex, and has numerous functions. While ...

Keeping the body and mind healthy and promoting adequate penis function is something all men should strive for. Eating healthy foods, exercising, managing stress, and yes, going to the doctor when sick, are all important to living a long and satisfying life. With so much information available these days, it is easy to get bogged down with good fats, bad fats, high carbs, low carbs, protein, fiber and vitamins.

Even the most well-intentioned among us have difficulty balancing the essential ...

These days, many men are beginning to take charge of their health, and what better place to start than down below. Penis health is an often-overlooked area of men’s health; but unfortunately, the well-being of the little guy is not guaranteed. Most men are unsure how to best care for the penis; it seems that wash, rinse, repeat is about as sophisticated as some men like to get with their grooming habits. There are numerous essential vitamins and minerals that improve the vitality of penis...

The benefits of exercise and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are clear, and most people are aware, at least in theory, that physical activity is an important factor in overall health. Furthermore, it is easy to see why keeping the heart pumping and the waistline to reasonable proportions can help when it comes to stamina and function in the bedroom. However, most men will be surprised to learn that targeted exercises can have a direct effect on penis health and sexual prowess, helping to amp...

While beauty products and healing skin creams abound when it comes to caring for female skin, there are few skin products that are designed for the specialized needs of men, particularly when it comes to penis care. But attention to keeping the package in top condition is an important concern in maintaining adequate penis function and sexual health.

Men who are looking for personal care products for their penis should be aware of the following ingredients, which have proven benefits for ma...

Throughout the Western world, and particularly in the United States, alcohol is the social lubricant of choice. In a deeply-ingrained drinking culture, sharing a few drinks on a date or at a social gathering is a firmly-entrenched ritual. A glass or two of wine, a couple of beers or a cocktail can help both parties to feel more confident, allowing physical encounters to develop as inhibitions are lowered. However, as most men know, there can be too much of a good thing when it comes to drink...

It makes sense that maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly and taking care of the penis should leave it primed for perfect function. However, even the most well-cared-for penis is still attached to a brain, and men who are experiencing emotional problems or other mental health issues might also experience difficulties with penis function. By paying attention to the factors that affect mental health and well-being, men can reduce their effects on penis health and prevent loss of fun...

Alpha lipoic acid may not be a well-known nutrient the likes of vitamin C or calcium, but it is still a heavy hitter in the health department. It has many health advantages, perhaps the most surprising of which involve the penis. Unfortunately, many men overlook the penis in their daily health care regimen; however, proper penis care is an essential component of a man’s overall well-being. A simple routine that includes daily use of a penis health creme containing alpha lipoic acid, along ...

The penis is a remarkable feat of engineering. One moment, it's soft and flat, and seconds later, it's standing out from the body and throbbing with sensation. When the stimulation has passed, it returns to its soft state once more as though nothing had happened. As many an embarrassed teen knows all too well, an erection comes on whether a man wants it or not, and much of the process is outside of a man's sphere of control. But knowing how the penis works could help men know their bodies ju...

The penis is a complex organ - perhaps more so than most people give it credit for. And just like the other vital organs in the body, the penis needs to be cared for on a daily basis. The penis is powered by a system of arteries that allows blood to engorge the manhood, leading to an erection, which is, of course, necessary for sex. Any breakdown in this system can lead to a sluggish penis - and, perhaps, an equally sluggish love life.

As a general rule, what’s good for the heart is good...

Anyone who pays attention to the media these days can’t help but notice the mixed messages being proliferated when it comes to weight, body image and lifestyle. On the one hand, nutritionists, fitness gurus and even politicians are joining the fight against the surging incidence of obesity - over 30% of adults in the United States are now classified as dangerously overweight - and on the other hand, self-help experts and other prominent voices promote self-affirmation and the acceptance of...
