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.

One in every hundred of men over 18 suffer from Peyronie’s Disease, a condition in which the penis has an extreme bend of 20-percent or greater. While the exact cause of the disease is

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

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

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

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

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

When talking about obesity, experts focus on the major diseases brought on by obesity and the surface issues of beauty and belonging. There’s a lot of discussion and information out there about diabetes, heart disease, and other issues related to obesity. But what about

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

The penis is a wonderful organ, but most men aren’t intimately familiar with the various anatomical parts of that organ and their functions. A more precise understanding of the penis can help to better understand one’s penile health.

Dry penis skin… it seemed harmless at the time. It was a small patch, a little sore, a little red, a little sandpapery, at the edge of the penis. Just slap some heavy moisturizer on there and forget it, right? Wrong. When the penis goes through stretching and shrinking, it can make healing hard. So, when does a guy go to the doc, and when does he DIY it? Let’s look at four common reasons for dry skin on the penis and how to fix this irritating problem.

According to studies, about one in three men experience premature ejaculation over their lifetime. However, two other common issues are often overlooked – delayed ejaculation and retrograde ejaculation. Let’s take a closer look at all three.

Everyone jokes about the “turn your head and cough,” but a penis examination is actually pretty serious business. Let’s talk about both kinds of penis examinations: the one conducted annually by a man’s doctor and the monthly self-exam. These exams have been shown to save men’s lives time and time again.

Semen — nope, it’s not a bunch of men in a water-borne vessel. It’s that secret man sauce that delivers potent swimmers to a warm place for reproduction or a long tube sock on a rainy day. Semen’s healthy color is a whitish-gray color with a jelly-like texture. This fluid consists of an array of minerals, proteins, hormones, and enzymes that all affect its color and texture. Believe it or not, semen color can change, and these changes serve as an indicator of what’s going on in a man’s body. Read on to find out what yellow, green, brown, and other colors may mean.

In recent years, ordinary people have been hearing more about oxidative stress, a topic once only seen in medical journals and conferences. But while the man in the street may now recognize the term, likely, he does not really know anything about oxidative stress. Certainly, he may not be aware of the role it plays in his sexual wellbeing. In this article, we discuss oxidative stress and how it impacts penis health.

Dry penis skin can lead to several unpleasant symptoms, including:

Flaking, peeling, or a roughened appearance;
Redness or rash;
Darkening or discoloration;
Soreness, especially during sexual activity.
Caring for the skin and restoring its soft, smooth texture depends on the source of the dryness. Some common causes of penile dryness, as well as the recommended treatments, are outlined here.

The fact that urine and semen both travel through the penis is something that makes some sexually inexperienced women a little squeamish. When they are first becoming sexually active, some worry that perhaps leftover urine is also mixing with the semen. Fortunately, this is a fear which is usually dispelled fairly quickly. But sadly, there are times when a woman might need to be concerned about this very issue. Men who have undergone a radical prostatectomy may be at risk of developing certain ejaculation problems, including a condition known as climacteric, in which urine mixes with the semen.

Manscaping – removal of the penis hair –has been going on for millennia. However, it has become more popular in recent years. As long as he is careful with the razor, there’s no reason why a guy who wants to manscape shouldn’t do so. But how many men do manscape? And when they do, how do they do it, and why?

Over the past several years, men have become more aware of the importance of daily care to protect their penis health. Maintaining healthy penile tissue is important for:

Self-confidence;
Better sexual enjoyment;
Early detection of problems;
Overall personal wellness.
Because of this, men are often on the lookout for products that can enhance the condition of their member. The problem is that too many individuals will jump from one product to another to find one that works. They will often try out the latest ‘hot’ thing on the market, only to find that it doesn’t have the benefits they expected. To avoid disappointment, turning to a proven product such as Shea butter can be a better choice.

Men of all ages may experience loss of penis sensation. This frustrating problem can occur for many reasons, including:

Poor circulation due to tight clothing, lack exercise, or excess body weight;
Toughened skin resulting from frequent masturbation;
Medication side effects;
Neuropathy caused by diabetes or other medical conditions;
Anxiety and other psychological issues.
It is a common belief that once a man experiences a reduction in sensitivity, this problem cannot be reversed. Fortunately, this is far from the case. In fact, there are several steps that men can take to prevent or even restore the feeling in this vital organ. For instance, one measure that shows promise is the use of topical crèmes or oral supplements containing the nutrient L-carnitine.[1]

Most men understand that maintaining penis health is the key to healthy sex life. With that in mind, men often take pains to keep their penis in good working order. But some aspects of penis health are dependent on other parts of the body – including the heart. Understanding how the heart affects penis function can help a man maintain his sexual wellbeing.

A red penis that is sore, itchy, or inflamed can be a sign of an underlying health problem. This article describes some common conditions that are characterized by red penile skin, as well as tips to promote healing.

Common wisdom has it that inner beauty that really matters, not outer attractiveness. But in our appearance-obsessed society, people who believe they do not meet the current beauty standards often suffer from low self-esteem. They may isolate themselves socially, and they may develop symptoms such as anxiety and depression. This is more often seen as a women’s issue, but men can be equally impacted. In truth, a guy’s perception of himself can be deeply connected to his physical attributes, from his level of fitness to the style of his hair to — yes — having an attractive penis.

Most men experience diminished penile sensitivity over time. Often, this is due to the abuse that the skin of the penis encounters daily. For instance, continual rubbing against clothing, frequent sexual activity, or even the pressure of sitting for long periods of time may cause the skin to become “toughened” or “desensitized” through a process known as keratinization.

Since the dawn of history, men have been prone to judge their manliness — and that of their peers — on the size of their family jewels. All else being equal, a man with a hefty tool may be seen as more virile and a better sexual partner than his compatriots of more modest penis size. Yet, while popular wisdom has it that a nine-inch member is an ideal to aspire to, numerous studies have been shown that the average man falls far short of this mark.

For the average guy, the notion of specific “penis vitamins” may seem like a gimmick. After all, shouldn’t the penis get all of the nourishment it requires from our daily diets? To an extent, yes. But unfortunately, few people get all of the nutrients they need from the diet alone.

Because of this, augmenting the personal care routine with specific penis nutrients can have surprising benefits. Below, we explore some of these ingredients and the ways that they can impact the health of the manhood.
