A Swedish youth health clinic, serving people up to the age of 23, made headlines in 2015 for handing out measuring tape designed to measure the penis. While at first this seems like an alarming perpetuation of men’s preoccupation with their penis size, the tape is not made to measure length of the manhood, but circumference. Why? So men get condom size right. Safe sex is crucial for penis health, but throwing on any random protection that’s lying around may not be sufficient to protect ...

Safe Sex Advice – Lube Ingredients to Avoid

Posted by John Dugan on Tuesday, December 30, 2014, In : Men's Health 

The two staples of safe sex are condoms and lubrication. Condoms form a physical barrier that interrupts the transfer of semen and many viruses, helping prevent pregnancy and various sexually transmitted infections.

However, safe sex entails more than picking up a couple products at the pharmacy or grocery store; to truly be safe, additional considerations should be kept in mind. Pro...

Anal Sex Safety Tips for the Adventurous Couple

Posted by John Dugan on Saturday, August 2, 2014, In : Men's Health 

While it is still viewed as somewhat exotic by many people in society, anal sex is by no means uncommon: a study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that 40% of women between the ages of 20 and 24 had tried anal sex at least once, as had 11% of men in that age range (as a "bottom"). Performing as a "top" in an anal sex situation (despite the possibility of a sore penis resulting) has an appeal for far more men, and so it's no wonder that this once-scorned form of sexual engagement is inc...
