Erectile Health Tips and Tricks

Looking for guidance on how to take care of your favorite tool? Maybe you’ve gotten a little lax in the penis health care department, or maybe you just don’t know all the things you can do to ensure your erectile health is top notch. Here is a list of ten tips you can incorporate into your life right now to improve your performance and keep it up for years to come.

Tip #1: Quit Smoking

Smoking is terrible for your penis and can seriously impact your ability to get and maintain an erection. Smoking dehydrates the blood vessels, weakening and shrinking them all over your body. Without robust, healthy, oxygenated blood vessels, your manhood won’t get the blood it needs, resulting in a weak erection, or even none at all.

Stopping smoking will improve your cardiovascular fitness, ensuring proper oxygenation of ALL your appendages. This will help you get it up, keep it up, and maintain your stamina for an extended session in the sack.

Tip #2: Drink in Moderation

Perhaps you’ve heard the term “whiskey dick” before. If not, this refers to the experience many of us have had: feeling horny after a bout of drinking, but being unable to rise to the occasion, so to speak.

In fact, alcohol has a huge impact on your ability to achieve and hold onto 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.

Cutting back to 1-2 drinks on an evening will lead to vast improvements in performance, so keep that in mind  if you’ve got someone at home waiting for you after a night out with the boys.

Tip #3: Eat Penis Power Foods

Eating a healthy diet of leafy greens, vegetables, fruit, lean proteins, 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 #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 #5: Do a Weekly Self-exam

Doing a quick penile 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 #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 thyself and have more control over your rate of ejaculation, to last longer with a partner. What’s more, researchers at Harvard have discovered that men who ejaculate at least 21 times per month have a 33% lower occurrence of prostate cancer.

Tip #7: Practice Safe Sex

Hopefully, you are already doing this one. Here are the basics: talk about intimate contact with your partner, disclose sexual health status, give and gain consent, use condoms and barrier methods, and regularly get tested for STIs.

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 that 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 #9: Establish a Daily Grooming Routine

Keep a daily penile care 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 #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 such as Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin. Powerful ingredients such as arginine support healthy blood flow, helping to ensure that your manhood will rise to the occasion whenever called on.
