A quick glance through any amateur porn site reveals a perhaps-obvious fact: just about every man likes to show the world his erect penis. Whether straight or gay, there's a great desire to put on display one's tool and let others admire it, whether through still shots or a video. And with the video option, there's often a further desire to masturbate that erect penis. Penis pride is understandable, but to really be proud of one's tool, a man needs to make sure he's practicing appropriate penis care so that his equipment looks its best when put on display for the world to see.

Since so many men are showing the world what their fists are up to on a regular basis, it's a good idea for a guy to put a little thought into things before he makes and shares his glorious masturbation video. (This is all assuming, of course, that the man in question is going to share said video in ways that do not violate any laws. That should be his primary consideration!)

Identity

First and foremost, a man needs to decide if he wants to be identifiable from this disclosure of his playful fondling. For many men, the answer is an immediate "Yes": part of the thrill or attraction involves being identified personally with his penis. Yet even these men should take a minute to weigh the consequences: Will he be embarrassed if certain people he knows see this? Could it have any effect on his current or future employment? Those who don't wish to be identified need to position the camera so that their faces are not shown, wear a facial covering of some sort, or digitally obscure their faces.

How to film

- Will this be a selfie, or has a friend agreed to run the camera for the man as he masturbates? A cameraperson can help add some smooth visual moves, but a selfie may be more practical.

- Is the focus to be pretty much on the equipment itself, or more of a full body shot? If tightly focused on the johnson, try experimenting with a few camera angles: for men concerned with such matters, shots from slightly below, looking up at the penis make the tool appear larger.

- Is there lighting? This can also be very helpful; most people don't have access to professional lighting, but a guy can play around with the lamps and flashlights in his house to see which ones cast the best shadows or illuminate body parts in the most flattering way.

- Will there be a "money shot" (i.e., an ejaculation captured on film)? If so, plan for it; guys who shoot loads that go long distances may want the camera to be placed in the way which will best capture that. Those who tend to pour in a more contained manner may want to move the tool in for a close-up during release.

- What about costuming? Is the man going fully nude? Leaving the shirt on? Dropping trousers to the ankles or just pulling his manhood out from behind the zipper?

- Is this a silent or a talkie? Heavy breathing, moaning or talking dirty to the camera can be very effective, but many men feel uncomfortable doing this in front of a camera; there's also the possibility that a vocal contribution may lead a man who wishes to be anonymous to be recognized.

Making these decisions will make this video of a proudly erect penis more impressive; even more important, however, is making sure that penis is in prime health for its close-ups. Using a top drawer penis health cream (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil) can help a member make its best presentation. For a healthy glow free of flaky skin, massage into the tool a cream that is rich in healthy moisturizing ingredients such as shea butter and vitamin E and also contains a powerful antioxidant (such as alpha lipic acid) to fight the wrinkled penis look. Dudes should also make sure the cream contains vitamin C, as this can help with collagen production and penile tissue firmness.
