When a man wants to use something natural and safe to improve the pleasure in his sex life, penis health crèmes are a recommended option. Containing penis-specific nutrients, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and essential fatty acids, health crèmes make the penis more sensitive, restore function, and may even have physiological effects on male hormone production. While more research is needed on the safety of some products, such as pharmaceutical drugs, vacuum pumps and traction devices, simple male nutrients are proven to support penile health and virility.

Reduced Nerve Sensitivity

Have you noticed that your penis is not as sensitive as it once was? There are a lot of factors that can contribute to this. Cardiovascular disease, high blood sugars, obesity, age, free radicals, dry skin, rough sexual activity and trauma all can lead to damaged or diminished nerve sensitivity in men. While for some men this may not cause a problem, in others it makes sex and masturbation far less enjoyable. It is true that nerves do not regenerate, but damaged nerves can recover with the help of health crèmes. With their natural ingredients, penis health crèmes stimulate and enhance the activity of nerve endings. Essential fatty acids, such as the omega 6 found in shea butter, are used by the body to produce myelin sheath -- a protective coating that ensures nerve messages and transmitted appropriately. Alpha lipoic acid is a vitamin-like antioxidant that is found in a range of foods, but appears to have a specific effect on the nervous system. Studies show that alpha lipoic acid improves nerve function throughout the whole body, and may be an effective treatment for multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, age-related hearing loss, and neuropathy.

Erectile Dysfunction

A quality penis health crème contain proven compounds. Vitamin E, C, A and L-arginine all stimulate the production of nitric oxide (NO). When arousal begins, NO is released into the smooth muscles, instructing them to relax and allow blood to flow into the penis. When NO is low in the body, due to cardiovascular disease, medication use or nutritional deficiency (especially L-arginine), it is hard for men to achieve a normal and healthy erection. Studies have shown that supplementation with L-arginine directly offsets symptoms of impotence. To ensure NO levels in the body stay optimum at all times, a well-balanced diet, supported with health crèmes and supplements, is beneficial.

Dry Skin

When playing rough, washing with harsh soaps, or masturbating without lubrication, the skin on the penis can become dry and irritated. This makes sex less enjoyable, for both men and their partners, and increases the risk of unpleasant skin conditions such as balanitis. Luckily, skin moisture and integrity can be easily improved. Penis health crèmes that contain vitamin C for tissue strength and collagen production, vitamin E for antioxidant protection, vitamin A for agile tissue healing, and shea butter are beneficial to penis well beign. Shea butter is a source of essential fatty acids, which benefit the natural oils levels in the skin, and have shown in studies to reduce skin inflammation and irritation. Apply every day or as recommended to make your play more enjoyable.

Choosing a product

Not all health crèmes are created equal. When researching available products to use, it is important to seek out penis specific formulated crèmes (most health professionals recommend Man1Man Oil). Many crèmes available online and through pharmacies contain additives, preservatives and parabens, which may affect penis skin health negatively. In a worst case scenario, the penis tissues are highly sensitive, and some men may experience adverse reactions to products not intended for the genitals. Look for penis health crèmes containing a range of active ingredients, including alpha lipoic acid, L-arginine, vitamin E, C and A, in a base of natural oils such as shea butter.
