How to Fix a Dry Penis: 5 Things that Work

How to Fix a Dry Penis: 5 Things that Work

Dry skin is the worst, but dry penile skin takes the cake. The penile skin is susceptible and thin, so it dries and cracks faster than other skin types as the type on your elbows, for instance. If you do find yourself with this common issue, there are some surefire ways to fix a dry penis and prevent it in the future. Here are five easy ways to keep penile skin soft and strong.

Man1® Man Oil®
The first line of defense against penile skin dryness, itching, redness, and loss of sensitivity.

Tip #1: Switch it Up in the Shower
There are days you want a hot shower and other days where you really need a cold one; however, the best temperature for your skin is warm. Extreme temperatures can irritate the skin and strip the body’s natural oils. The penile skin is also very thin, similar to that around your eyes, so extreme temperatures can feel uncomfortable once the water hits your johnson.

Another shower switcheroo changes from your fragranced body wash or soap to a mild, all-natural cleanser or a baby wash. Sensitive formula all-natural baby washes are the best of both worlds because they are made for a baby’s delicate skin and don’t include parabens and sulfates, which can dry out the skin and even cause chapping.

Tip #2: Keep it Loose
Dry skin happens for many reasons, but many men don’t realize their choice of bottoms – pants, underwear, and shorts – may be causing the skin to get irritated. When your bottoms are too tight, it rubs up against the penis, causing chaffing and dryness, which can become chapped skin, starting to crack and open you up to bacteria and infection.

If your skivvies or knickers are too tight, trade them in for something that gives your penis a little room to stretch out. And don’t forget to get it in a soft, airy material like cotton or bamboo for extra protection against drying and chaffing.

Tip #3: Keep Things Silky Smooth
Sex and masturbation are both good for you in a variety of ways. When it’s not good for you is when you don’t have sufficient lubrication. While the friction may feel good or feel awkward about using lube, having lubricant handy is a must. Not only can dry sex or masturbation cause skin drying and cracking, but it can also rob you of penile sensitivity, which down the road may lead to nerve damage.

Pick a lubricant that is water-based and free of irritants. Some people use coconut oil as a lubricant in a pinch (or on purpose) due to its natural qualities, low cost, and pleasant feel.

Tip #4: Take a Break
While sex and masturbation are wonderful ways to stay healthy and happy, too much of anything can be harmful. Overusing your penis, even with lube, can cause friction burn, leading to dryness and cracking, not to mention a red-hot heat rash.

Give your penis enough time to recover between sessions, and be sure to wash well afterward every time you put him to work. Not only will a break now and then prevent dryness it will also preserve sensitivity.

Tip #5: Soften Things Up
In addition to updating your shower routine, you should always give your penis a little extra moisture to preserve sensitivity, keep the skin silky soft, and protect it against bacteria and infection. Apply a specially formulated penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) each day to prevent dry penile skin. This crème also has other essential vitamins and nutrients that strengthen the skin and boost blood flow, making your penis stronger and flexible for fun times to come.

Healthy Penis Guide for 2023

Healthy Penis Guide for 2023

It’s a new year, the new normal persists, and it’s time for a penis refresh. Maybe you’ve gotten a little lax in the penis health care department or just don’t know all the things you can (should) do to ensure your penis is strong both for your health and your sex life. Here is a list of ten tips you can incorporate into your life this year to improve your penis health and keep it up for years to come.

Tip-Top Penis Tip #1: Quit Smoking

Smoking is terrible for erections! Smoking dehydrates the blood vessels, weakening and shrinking them all over your body. Without robust, healthy, oxygenated blood vessels, your erection won’t get the blood it needs, resulting in a weak erection or none at all.

Tip-Top Penis Tip #2: Drink in Moderation (or not at all)

Alcohol can affect a man’s ability to achieve an erection. Not only does it depress your nervous system, but it also decreases blood flow to the penis. It also increases angiotensin, which is a hormone associated with erectile dysfunction.

Tip-Top Penis Tip #3: Eat Penis Power Foods

Eating a healthy diet of leafy greens, vegetables, fruit, lean meats, and legumes is key for every body. If you want some extra penis power, add foods like salmon, almonds, oatmeal, coffee, chili peppers, spinach, and avocados to your rotation to get extra benefits in the bedroom.

Tip-Top Penis Tip #4: Check Your Morning Wood

During the night, a man has three to five erections as a result of biological functions going on in his body which keep all of his systems  moving smoothly. If your little friend doesn't rise up to greet you most mornings, it’s time for a checkup.

Tip-Top Penis Tip #5: Do Self-exam Bi-weekly (But Weekly is Better)

Doing a quick self-exam in or after a warm shower gives a man an opportunity to do a quick check-in for any new bumps, lumps, or discolorations that may need attention. To find out more, check out our article on how to do a self-exam.

Tip-Top Penis Tip #6: Ejaculate frequently!

Here’s the tip that’s probably the most fun and easy to incorporate if you aren’t already: start ejaculating more frequently. Why? To know thy self and have more control over your rate of ejaculation, to last longer with a partner. What's more, researchers at Harvard discovered that men who ejaculated at least 21 times per month had a 33% lower occurrence of prostate cancer.

Tip-Top Penis Tip #7: Practice Safe Sex

Hopefully, you are already doing this one. Here are the basics: talk about intimate contact, disclosing sexual health status and giving and gaining consent, using condoms and barrier methods while being intimate, and regularly getting tested for STIs.

Tip-Top Penis Tip #8: Trim the Hair Down There

Pubic hair is there for a reason, to protect the penis from foreign agents and bacteria. However, it also captures urine droplets, sweat, dead cells, and other emissions which can cause irritation, rash, and more serious issues, as well as a funky smell. Trimming the area keeps it clean, lets it do its job, and makes the area more hospitable for oral attention.

Tip-Top Penis Tip #9: Get a Good Daily Grooming Routine

Have a daily regimen that includes a thorough cleaning of the shaft, head, scrotum, and buttocks. Use a gentle cleanser and warm water, rinse thoroughly, and then either pat dry with a soft towel or air dry.

 Tip-Top Penis Tip #10: Use Man1 Man Oil

Your penile skin is as delicate as the skin around your eyes. As a final tip from our penis guide, use  a specialized penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) to keep it soft and strong. This crème is made especially for the penis and includes ingredients such as vitamins A, C, D, and E, all of which have skin-soothing and healing properties. In addition, it rejuvenates penile skin, making it more flexible and giving it a more youthful appearance.

Peyronie’s Disease: Everything You Need to Know about a Bent Penis

Peyronie’s Disease: Everything You Need to Know about a Bent Penis

There’s no funk quite so funky as penis odor. While it can be trapped for hours upon hours, once it is set free, it emanates up and out in a gag-worthy way. It begs the thought – what’s causing this stank bouquet and how can you get rid of it? Let’s run through five preventable causes of penis odor and a few tips on how to get rid of it for good.

Penis Odor Cause #1: Lax Hygiene

It’s the number one cause of penis odor – poor hygiene. Entirely within a man’s power, lax hygiene can lead to a lot of unpleasantness, the least of which being a stinky penis. When men don’t shower daily or as needed, they build up sweat, oil, skin debris, and dirt all over their bodies, especially in the folds of their nether region, adding heat and moisture to the mix. All of this results in a smell cocktail of icky proportions. In all honestly, this is the least serious of the consequences a man can suffer from poor hygiene. He can also experience rashes, infections, and painful bumps when he neglects personal cleanliness.

Penis Odor Cause #2: Smegma

What’s stinky, chunky, off-white, and fishy all over? Well, smegma of course! Smegma is the end result of the body’s “self-cleaning” nature and is also used for lubrication for sex. However, when not dealt with, aka cleaned up, it goes into overgrowth mode and can cause a funky smell like none other and can also result in a painful rash. While not exclusive to uncircumcised men, it is more common for them to be at risk of smegma overgrowth.

Penis Odor Cause #3: Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

Is there something that smells rotten in Denmark? It could be dirty deeds done without protection. Some STIs like chlamydia and gonorrhea present a foul penis odor. If you’ve been sexually active lately, especially without protection, head to the clinic for testing. STIs are serious and can have long-lasting consequences when not treated immediately.

Penis Odor Cause #4: Other Infections

STIs aren’t the only infections a man needs to worry about if he smells something sour down south. Yeast infections and urinary tract infections (UTIs) also carry an unpleasant smell. Yeast infections can present with chunky white discharge and red skin. UTIs are denoted by cloudy or pink urine, a frequent urge to urinate, and a burning sensation when urinating. See a medical professional for diagnosis.

Penis Odor Cause #5: Balanitis

Balanitis is the inflammation of the head of the penis and can be caused by a variety of things like poor hygiene, unprotected sex, smegma, or allergic reaction. Additional symptoms include swelling, redness, a burning sensation while urinating, and fluid buildup. See a doctor for help.

Getting Rid of Penis Odor

The best way to get rid of penis odor is to regularly and thoroughly clean the body with a gentle cleanser and warm water, being sure to wash between the folds of skin, under the foreskin, and in the entire groin. Rinse well and air dry.

Wearing loose bottoms and underwear made from cotton, bamboo, or other breathable natural fibers will reduce sweat and heat from the area which can seem to “cook” the smell. Always practice safe sex, not only using protection but having an honest disclosure about sexual health and status before becoming intimate.

Many men also find using a specially formulated penis health crème  (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) beneficial in not only keeping the skin fresh but also strengthening delicate penile skin. Use a cream with natural skin strengtheners like vitamins B, C, and D, and an antibacterial powerhouse like vitamin A. Apply daily for best results.

Why Men Masturbate

Why Men Masturbate

Okay, so maybe you’ve never thought about why men masturbate, but perhaps you should. Masturbation is, thankfully, becoming a frequent topic of conversation and is no longer relegated to the shadows and looked on shamefully. There’s more to stroking the salami than just a few minutes of pleasure. Experts now encourage men to take a little time to love on themselves for a wide range of reasons. It’s the only kind of immediate gratification that has long-term compounding benefits. Here are some reasons why men masturbate. You may know some and some, well, they may inspire you to say hello to your little friend a little more often.

Seven Reasons Why Men Masturbate

It Feels Good

Sure, it’s the obvious reason, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be omitted. Orgasm produces oxytocin, the feel-good, love hormone, giving a man all those warm fuzzies.

It’s Free

Again, an obvious point, but one that should be stated. When the rent is due, and things are looking tight, masturbation is one of the most pleasurable activities that a man can do that costs him nothing. It’s a nice reminder that some of the best things in life are indeed free.

It Improves Sleep

Many a man uses masturbation instead of Ambian. Why? Studies show that the chemicals produced by masturbating to climax increases sleep latency, which is a fancy way of saying how quickly someone falls asleep. Men release a mixture of brain chemicals, including norepinephrine, serotonin, oxytocin, vasopressin, nitric oxide, and the hormone prolactin, which all lead to greater relaxation and a fast track to lullaby land.

It Reduces Prostate Cancer

Several clinical studies are finding that regular ejaculation, like that produced by masturbation, decreases the risk of prostate cancer. Looking for a specific number of times you need to pencil in some strokin’? An Italian 2016 study found that men who climaxed at least 21 times each month experienced a 20 percent reduction in the likelihood of prostate cancer. It’s like loving yourself twice!

Beat Stress by Beating Off

Despite being a great pun, beating stress off with your stick is an ideal way to manage anxiety and worry in your daily life. The dopamine released during orgasm alters a man’s mood because it releases built-up stress, induces relaxation, and boosts happy feelings.

 It’s a Workout in Itself

What if you could tone up, get better sleep, and perform better in and out of the bedroom? Simply add a little wank to your Wednesday.  Masturbation releases muscle cramping and improves the muscles in the pelvis and anal areas. Oh yeah, it also leads to better sex.

Tips for Pre and Post Self-Love Care

Be sure to give your penis some TLC before and after your solo sesh. First, manscape the grounds. Keeping pubes nice and neat is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it also protects against those tiny hairs getting caught in places that can pull, which does not feel so good.

Next, keep the penis as clean and fresh as possible. Always wash immediately after masturbating, being sure to use warm water and a gentle cleanser. Be thorough but gentle. Rinse well and pat or air dry. Remember, penile skin is very delicate!

Finally, take that extra step and apply a specially formulated penis health crème  (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) to soften and fortify the skin. This type of crème is specially created to preserve penis sensitivity and prevent against tiny cuts and scrapes, which can lead to irritation and infection. Use after every washing for best results.

Guide to Penis Health and Happiness for Younger Men

Guide to Penis Health and Happiness for Younger Men

It's a total misconception that only men over 40 need to worry about penis health, but younger men often think their family jewels will always be as sparkly and functional as they are in their teens. A 2013 study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine says differently. It found that erectile dysfunction affected 26 percent of men under 40. With a statistic like this floating around, it's essential that all men, even younger men, incorporate a simple but effective penis health regimen. Doing so can help them  avoid being one of the men under 40 who has penis problems now. Here is a useful guide to penis health that outlines some behaviors to rethink, as well as some tips for keeping your boner popping into your 90s.

Sex, Drugs, and Rock n Roll

Remember that 26 percent statistic mentioned earlier? A lot of the research around younger men experiencing erectile dysfunction include some sort of drug. Whether it is a hard narcotic or too many bourbons on the regular or a pack-a-day cigarette habit, any overuse (and sometimes just use) of a drug spells disaster for a dude's goodies. Why? Too much alcohol or drug use can affect several body systems. The brain may be slowing down and can't send the signal out to push the blood to the bone. Blood vessels may be experiencing constriction, which also inhibits blood flow to the unit. And then there's whiskey dick and the like, where you can get an erection, but you can't reach orgasm.

The Mental Game

Younger men also need to consider how their emotional health affects penis health. Some erection issues arise because a man is nervous, and as a result, suffers from performance anxiety. With all the messages out there, from porn to lifestyle magazines to Tinder profiles, it is understandable why so many men experience some sort of anxiety over getting busy. Some younger men, just like older men, also experience periods of erectile dysfunction when going through relationship issues. One issue, in particular, causes the wind to deflate out of a man's proverbial sails, and that's cheating. There's a well-established correlation between cheating and erectile dysfunction. The guilt from cheating eventually catches up to the man, and he can no longer achieve an erection. Of course, this doesn't happen in all cases, but it does happen in a good many.

 10 Tips to Keep Penis Health High for Life

All the mental stuff aside, let’s get physical! Here are some great tips for naturally preserving libido and sexual function:

1. Stop smoking, or don't start smoking.
2. Exercise every day for at least 30 minutes, 60 if you can swing it.
3. Maintain a healthy weight to prevent the root causes of erectile dysfunction like obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease.
4. Keep alcohol to no more than two drinks per night.
5. Stay away from illegal drugs and only take prescription drugs as directed. For men who live in states where marijuana is legal, remember that it too can cause your soldier to stay sleeping.
6. Get 7-8 hours of sleep per night minimum. You get nocturnal erections at night, usually between three and four, that are important for proper penis function.
7. Manage stress levels to reduce blood pressure and keep a clear mind that activates libido instead of drains it.
8. If you don't use it, you can lose it! Have sex to keep the member oxygenated, and it's a natural stress reducer! (and it will help with sleep)
9. Have erections, even if they go unused – simply saturating the penis will oxygenated blood revitalizes the penile tissue, keeping it active and vigorous.
10. Apply a penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) every day to make the delicate penile skin flexible and elastic. It can also keep bacteria at bay, boosts blood flow, and protects against peripheral nerve damage!

5 Causes of Discoloration on the Penis and How to Cope

5 Causes of Discoloration on the Penis and How to Cope

While men may not use all the tonics and potions created for their facial skin, preferring a more rugged look, when it comes to their penises, men notice immediately when something seems to be off. A discoloration on the penis is one of those issues that often makes a man take notice of his skin and can often lead to unnecessary panic. Most reasons for a discolored penis are results of a small injury and will fade with time; although, there are a few other potential reasons for worry. Here are a few of the most common causes of discoloration on the penis and how to cope.

Bruising

One of the quickest ways to get a discolored penis is through injury. After a penile injury, bruising can appear in a variety of discolorations on the penis from purple to blue or even a greenish glow. If there is an excessive pain post-injury, seek medical attention immediately. It could be a more serious issue like a penile fracture.

Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

It’s completely normal for men to have some variance of skin coloration. However, if a man notices that skin has darkened suddenly or within a short span of time, it’s understandable he may worry. Most times it’s just post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is simply an overproduction of melanin, the body’s skin pigment maker. The skin can appear in a wide variety of colors including blue, gray, or dark brown.

 Overproduction generally happens after an injury to the skin, the most common being excessive rubbing of the penis from vigorous sex or self-pleasure. It will fade over time or if a man is bothered by it, topical treatment with retinol each night before bed can accelerate results.

Penile Vitiligo

Vitiligo is known as the “white skin patch disease” and made most famous by the late Michael Jackson. This skin disorder is caused by a loss of melanocytes from the epidermis. Penile Vitiligo most often occurs as a penile discoloration on the foreskin. It must be diagnosed by a doctor through a physical exam. It can be treated with medication, creams, lasers and surgical techniques.

Hematoma

If a man is seeing red, blotchy skin or blood vessels under the surface of the skin, he may have a hematoma. This happens after an injury to the penis. The discoloration on the penis will fade in time; however, if he feels pain or discomfort, medical attention should be sought.

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

Sometimes purple sores on the penis can be evidence of a sexually transmitted infection like genital herpes or syphilis. Both STIs are accompanied by other symptoms such as pain, fever, itchiness, burning, and fatigue. Head to a medical clinic or see a physician as soon as possible to be tested and get treatment.

Preventing and Caring for a Discolored Penis

First and foremost, practice safe sex. Use a condom to prevent STIs, and always have an open dialogue about sexual and medical history with partners, even if it ruins the mood. Next, wear appropriate protective gear during group or adventure sports so that the penis is not an unfortunate casualty of a pick-up basketball game. Also, be sure to monitor the vigorousness of sex and self-gratification so pleasure doesn’t turn painful.

In addition to those tips, practice good grooming to keep the penis in top shape. Cleanse regularly and thoroughly with a gentle cleanser. Follow-up cleansing with a specifically formulated penis health cream  (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) to soften and soothe the penis. These specially created crèmes should have a nourishing, natural base like Shea butter and include vitamins and nutrients like vitamins A, B5, C, D, and E to promote healthy skin and cellular function, and Alpha-Lipoic Acid to reduce the signs of cellular damage and aging. These crèmes leave the penis hydrated and healed.

Nine Penis Facts that Might Surprise You

Nine Penis Facts that Might Surprise You

Sure, a guy’s penis has been with him ever since he was born – but how well does the average Joe really know his favorite personal appendage? And since he learned a lot of his information “on the street,” so to speak, how much of that information is maybe not 100% true? In the interests of better penis health and an informed penis-owning population, the following penis facts are presented for reader edification.

Penis facts

A guy can’t really break his penis.

Although one often hears talk of a dude having a sexual encounter that goes devastatingly wrong, it’s technically impossible to fracture or break the penis. That’s because the penis doesn’t actually have a bone inside it – despite the nickname boner being applied to a stiff erection. When a man does have what is called a penile fracture, it refers to a tear occurring in the tunica albuginea, the membrane surrounding the soft, spongy tissue in the penis.

The penis does a lot of ejaculating.

One source estimates that the average man ejaculates 7,200 times during his lifespan. (assuming an active sex life of 50 years, that’s 144 times per year.)  Approximately 2,000 of those ejaculations occur during masturbation; whether that surprises an individual depends upon his own rate of masturbation, of course.

And it ejaculates at an impressive speed.

According to one measurement, the average rate of speed of an ejaculation is 28 miles per hour.

More grow, fewer show.

Most men tend to be growers – having a penis which is relatively small when flaccid and grows substantially when erect – than showers – men whose flaccid length is much closer to their erect length. One survey puts the figure at 79% growers, 21% showers.

Erections don’t wait for birth to begin.

Thanks to advances in technology, we now know that little boy fetuses get just as excited as their adult counterparts. Males begin sprouting erections in the womb sometime around the third trimester.

Nighttime is the right time for erections.

On average, a man will get erect 11 times during the course of the day – however, 9 of those occur at night, many of them while he is sleeping.

A guy’s penis is longer than he thinks it is. Really.

Men (and some women) obsess about penis size, so maybe it will make a guy feel better to realize his manhood is actually much longer than he thinks. About half of the penis is inside a man’s body. No, it may not be visible, but it’s there.

Men were encouraged to eat cornflakes to stop masturbating.

Throughout history, there have been some people who inordinately feared the supposed consequences of masturbation. John Harvey Kellogg (of the popular cereal company) believed that his cornflakes could help dampen the sexual impulses that could lead to masturbation (as well as inappropriate fornication). However, there are plenty of dedicated cornflake fans who could testify to the fact that this plan simply didn’t work.

The penis shape helps prevent impregnation by another man.

Many scientists believe that the pronounced head of the penis evolved to help a man foil his rivals. It is believed that if a man penetrated a woman who had recently been penetrated by another male, the glans could help “scoop out” semen deposited by a rival before it reached the egg.

There are other penis facts a guy can’t learn on the street, including the need to pay special attention to penis health on a regular basis. To do this, regular application of a first rate  penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) is required. For best results, a crème should contain both L-arginine and L-carnitine.. The former is an amino acid which helps boost nitric oxide and therefore helps keep penile blood vessels open and expanded when necessary. The latter has neuroprotective properties which can help to protect penis sensation, especially when the instrument is roughly handled.

Penis Supplements – Do They Really Work?

Penis Supplements – Do They Really Work?

According to some studies, between 40 and 70 percent of men deal with sexual dysfunction at some point. While many men turn to medications like the little blue pill, others look for supplements to save money and to avoid having an uncomfortable discussion with their doctor. Some men also believe supplements are a healthier option to improve sexual function.

However, supplements aren’t regulated. Therefore, they may have questionable ingredient purity, and there isn’t a lot of information about side effects and drug interactions. Let’s take a look at which penis supplements work and which don’t, so you don’t waste your money on empty promises.

Penis Supplements: What Works, What Doesn’t, and What You Need to Watch For

Let’s look at some of the most popular penis supplements and see what they’re about and whether they really can help men with penis problems.

Fenugreek: This supplement is extraordinarily popular and often appears in the top three best-selling supplements for penile health. It may support improvements in sexual arousal and orgasm, energy, muscle strength, and well-being. As of now, there has been no indication of adverse effects.

Ginkgo biloba: This supplement is widely taken for several conditions: however, there isn’t any data that suggests that it’s helpful for erectile dysfunction. It can actually lead to seizures, bleeding, and headaches if combined with certain medications.

L-arginine: Several studies have shown that this supplement has been shown to increase erectile function. It is considered generally safe, but some patients experienced a small drop in blood pressure that didn’t significantly alter heart rate.

Yohimbine: Next to L-Arginine, this supplement also shows the potential to improve male function. The downside of Yohimbine are side effects like headache, sweating, hypertension, agitation, and insomnia

Maca: This supplement is a vegetable. Maca has been linked to increased sexual behavior in animals, but not in humans. It’s relatively safe with rare reports of toxicity and increases in liver enzymes and blood pressure.

DHEA: This is a hormone made by the body that can also be manufactured using chemicals from wild yams and soybeans. No evidence shows that it alters hormones, specifically testosterone, in a significant way.

 Ginseng: This supplement for penile health is the top-seller of the group, but it is not certain whether it really works or not.  It does have many upsetting side effects such as headache, constipation, insomnia and upset stomach, and it can lower blood sugar.

Horny Goat Weed: The name of this supplement is very misleading. There is no obvious benefit for sexual function. It is generally safe, but there are a few reports of fast heart rate and hypomania.

Are Penis Supplements Safe?

It’s hard to prove whether supplements really impact sexual issues like libido and erectile function. It’s also hard to show they are safe. Many supplements are advertised as  “all-natural.” However, they are not always as natural as they seem. Some of these products contain traces of phosphodiesterase-5-inhibitors (PDE5Is), which are also in prescription medications like Viagra.

 Men with heart disease or who take nitrates should not use PDE51s, because they may cause dangerous drops in blood pressure. Additionally, men with end-stage kidney disease or severe liver impairment should avoid them. Men with prostates issues who take medicines such as Flomax can take PDE51s, but only under a doctor’s supervision.

 Another Option

Aside from oral supplements, another option for penis supplementation is a topical crème, specifically a penis health crème  (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin). This crème combines L-Arginine and L-Carnitine with essential vitamins like B5 and C to boost blood flow and penile health.
