Utilizing Sex Toys With a Bent Penis

Posted by John Dugan on Monday, February 24, 2020, In : Health 

Men who experience a significantly bent penis - who have what would medically be determined to be Peyronie’s disease - face a number of challenges, including some related to sexual or penis health. Although treatments are being developed that can help a man with a severely bent penis, there is still a lot that is being learned about Peyronie’s disease and still many times when a man with a bent penis may need to seek accommodations of some kind. For example, he may need to give some thou...

Is the Keto Craze Increasing Penis Odor?

Posted by John Dugan on Saturday, January 25, 2020, In : Men's Health 

Diet fads come and go with alarming regularity - which isn’t to say they don’t necessarily have benefits, merely that there always seems to be some new diet coming along that attracts a great deal of attention for at least a while. Recently, the keto (for ketogenic) diet popped up on the scene and went viral quickly. And as it has become more popular, questions have been raised about whether it might not contribute to any penis health issues - most prominently, to penis odor.

Sensual Toys Tip: Choosing a Male Organ Ring

Posted by John Dugan on Saturday, January 18, 2020, In : Men's Health 

One of the oldest sensual toys (or, some would argue, sensual aids) is certainly the male organ ring, which in one form or another has been around for centuries. Arguably, the male organ ring is the most "accepted" of the sensual toys geared toward men and may well be the most-used. (Reliable statistics on such things are not easy to come by.) But even so there are millions of men who have never used a male organ ring and may have questions about how to use it so it doesn’t affect male org...

“Chicken Skin” Penis Bumps? No, It’s Keratosis Pilaris

Posted by John Dugan on Monday, December 23, 2019, In : Men's Health 

Anyone who has ever taken a close look at a piece of chicken before frying or baking it knows that chicken skin often has a multitude of little pale bumps on it. The look is perfectly fine for a chicken soon to be made into dinner, but it’s not so good for a man’s penis. Yes, sometimes a man can have penis bumps that resemble chicken skin, and this penis health issue can be rather embarrassing. New partners may take a gander at the penis bumps and suddenly find themselves with a headache...

Is it? Or isn’t it? A man gets that feeling in his crotch, that need to rub up against something or stick his hand down his pants for a quick scratch, and he starts to wonder - jock itch?

Posted by John Dugan on Saturday, December 7, 2019, In : Men's Health 

It has chunky white funk and is red all over; what is it? Well, it could be smegma. But don’t get it twisted, smegma in small amounts is actually good for a man’s penis health.

Some Penis Health Tips for Planning for That Doctor Visit

Posted by John Dugan on Tuesday, November 26, 2019, In : Men's Health 

People want to look their best - whatever "their best" may mean to any individual. That’s simply a fact of life and the reason why people spend so much time (and money) on hairstyles, beard trims, lifting weights, jogging, dieting, and all the myriad other things done in the name of achieving the look they desire. And that desire to look good extends as well to a man’s penis. Men want to follow penis health rules and recommendations so that when they are unclothed, their penis will be pr...

Refractory Period Impacts Penis Function

Posted by John Dugan on Thursday, November 21, 2019, In : Men's Health 

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...

Penis Pain When Urinating Might Be Schistosomiasis

Posted by John Dugan on Friday, November 15, 2019, In : Men's Health 

The human body is an enormously complex system, and sometimes problems that come up in one part of the body may be symptoms of something that affects more parts of the body. For this reason, sometimes a penis health issue may signal an issue that goes beyond the penis. For example, sometimes penis pain can be a localized issue and sometimes it can be part of a larger problem. One such problem could in some cases by a condition known as schistosomiasis.

Sex Toys for More Advanced Users

Posted by John Dugan on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, In : Men's Health 

Some would say that to have a happy sex life, all a man needs is a penis and a willing partner with which to share it. (Some would also say, from another point of view, all a man needs is a penis and a hand with which to share it.) But many men prefer a little more variety in their sex lives; they have good penis health and want to take advantage of their favorite organ - and thus many men and/or couples enjoy exploring sex toys as an added "spice." Some are perfectly happy with sticking wit...

Posted by John Dugan on Friday, November 1, 2019, In : Men's Health 

Most guys probably wouldn’t find it an accolade if someone called their penis soft. However, it’s one of the best compliments a man can get when it comes to touch and feel.

Inflatable Sex Toys: A Few Things to Know

Posted by John Dugan on Friday, October 4, 2019, In : Men's Health 

In the event that any man questions whether many people actually use sex toys, a quick perusal of the wide variety available online – or at any of the many sex toys emporia around the country – should put that notion to rest. A 2015 study found that sex toys use would grow by 40% between 2015 and 2020, from $21 billion annually to $29 billion. As long as a man practices appropriate penis care, using sex toys shouldn’t be a real issue, fortunately. That leaves him free to explore and enj...

Toothpaste and Penis Safety Don’t Mix

Posted by John Dugan on Thursday, September 26, 2019, In : Men's Health 

Men – especially when they are younger – are apt to experiment with putting a wide range of liquids, fluids and creams on their penis. Unfortunately, this is not always a good idea, as their choice of liquid, fluid or cream may contain ingredients that could create a penis health or penis safety risk. Recently, the internet and social media have featured an abundance of posts from men claiming that they like to rub toothpaste on their penis and encouraging other men to do likewise. Good i...

Can Botox Change Penis Size?

Posted by John Dugan on Wednesday, September 4, 2019, In : Men's Health 

Penis size. It’s something men spend way too much time thinking about, whether it’s worrying about whether their own measures up or feeling jealous that another guy clearly “outranks” them in this entirely superficial way of categorizing masculinity. Since penis size is not generally a penis health issue, and since most men are sufficiently endowed to provide sexual satisfaction to their partners even if they cannot compare to a horse, there’s no reason for penis size to be such an ...

At some point in a man’s life, he may find it difficult to summon or maintain an erection. Like the Boogie Man and Jeepers Creepers, this thought can sit in the dark recesses of a man’s mind causing worry and anxiety. Once it happens, a thousand warning lights go off.

How to Sensitize Your Penis: 5 Surefire Tips!

A man often looks back on days when his penis would get hard if a light breeze came through the window of his History class. Thankful for the large tome required for the class, he would run out the second the bell rang and find somewhere private to take care of business. Sometimes up to five or six times each day.

But not today. Today this same penis couldn’t be coaxed up by Tony Robbins himself making an inspiring plea. That sucker is desensitized, and it seems like there’s no hope. But...

Ouch! Kidney Stones Can Create a Sore Penis

Posted by John Dugan on Tuesday, August 13, 2019, In : Men's Health 

A sore penis is not high on the list of things a guy wants to achieve, but at least sometimes – such as when that soreness is due to overuse in sexual situations – a guy has fun and pleasure engaging in the activities that create the sore penis. Other times, however, a sore penis is due to a penis health issue, and that’s not good. And sometimes the cause of the sore penis originates far away from the organ itself, in another part of the body. Case in point: kidney stones.

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 ...

Penis Bumps from Seborrheic Keratosis Are Benign

“Uh-oh! What’s that?” This is a sentence no guy wants to utter while conducting a routine penis health inspection—or even when just happening to glance at his equipment in the mirror—but it’s one that does come up from time to time. Often, the aberration that causes this exclamation is due to the discovery of new penis bumps that had not previously blessed his penis. There can be numerous reasons for the arrival of new penis bumps, and fortunately many of them are benign – that...

How to Get a Smooth Penis: What a Man Should and Shouldn’t Do for a Velveteen Penis

Posted by John Dugan on Friday, July 5, 2019, In : Men's Health 

While most men may shudder at the thought of someone calling their penis soft, it can really be a good thing. Not in regard to vigor, but when it comes to touch and feel. In a study published in 2015 by the Journal of Sexual Medicine, it was found that women overwhelmingly stated that the aesthetic appearance of the penis was the most desirable quality to them when assessing a man’s reproductive package. One aspect of the aesthetic is the smoothness, tone, and feel of the penis. It is a vis...

From penis rings to dildos, sex toys are more and more commonly found in bedrooms of consenting adults.

As men age, lots of things happen. They get wiser, they tell long stories about the trials and tribulations of walking 18 miles to school in two feet of snow wearing only flip-flops and calling Facebook “the Facebook.” Something that can also happen to men as they age is andropause.

Smegma 101: What It Is and How to Deal with It

Smegma…it seems to be a dirty, dirty word. Point in fact, it is literally a really clean word. It comes from the Latin meaning soap or to cleanse. So, if it has a squeaky-clean origin, then why do people today associate it with a nasty white funk hiding in a guy’s junk?

Well, it’s because people often hear about smegma when it’s so far gone that it’s causing problems. It’s actually part of a normal daily detoxifying process that happens naturally. Smegma is the end result of clea...

More and more men (and couples) are incorporating sex toys into their sex play, and with good reason: sex toys can be fun and can add a new layer into someone’s sex life, especially if it has become a trifle routine. Some men, of course, are resistant to using sex toys, for a variety of reasons – worries that using sex toys makes them less of a “real man,” for example (which is far from the truth) or that there could be penis health issues from their use (generally not a problem if u...

People may want the funk, but not the chunky white smelling kind. That's right – smegma. Smegma didn't start out as all bad.

Male menopause is a condition that affects men as they age. Also known as andropause, it describes the age-related changes in male hormone levels. Male menopause is most often denoted by a drop in the hormone testosterone in men 50 years of age or older. For the uninitiated, testosterone is made in the testes.

Posted by John Dugan on Friday, November 10, 2017, In : Men's Health 

A penis rash is a common occurrence, but it’s not something men are particularly happy to see.

This is typically the case when angiokeratomas are the cause of the penis rash - although in some cases they can bring about a more significant health concern. Learning about angiokeratomas is important in or...

There’s no two ways about it: Men love to receive oral sex. Being in a relationship in which oral sex is part of the mix of sexual options is a goal of most men.
