Sexual Health Week - Let's Talk Gentlemen! - Sexynews #41
Men's sexual health and wellbeing is often overlooked and not talked about. Because it’s seen as such a taboo issue or a reason to feel shame, many men suffer a range of sexual health disorders in silence. This has a negative impact on not only his overall health and wellbeing, but on his mental health and often, his intimate relationships.
There are a number of issues that affect a man's sexual health and while it can often be embarrassing for him, it doesn't have to be the end all to his sexual fun and intimacy. For men it can often be hard to admit that there is some kind of dysfunction, so the first step is to find out what is causing the dysfunction.
Managing Sexual Dysfunction
We recommend experimenting with different sex toys and products specifically designed to help with men's sexual dysfunction issues. If all else fails, speak to your GP or a therapist and see if there's something more that can be done or some other underlying causes that may need to be addressed. Once you have identified the problem, the next step is to work towards resolving the problem so you and your partner can have a complete and fulfilling sex life.
What Affects a Man's Sexual Health
Men can suffer a whole host of issues that will have a negative impact on sexual health, including:
- Mental health: Issues such as fear, guilt, shame, embarrassment, or awkwardness about having sex may make it hard to become aroused and get an erection. Stress, depression and anxiety and often performance anxiety can have an impact too.
- Relationship issues: Stress within your relationship can cause sexual distress and make it difficult to get and maintain an erection. This is often caused by factors ranging from financial to parenting problems, mismatched sex drive, etc. Any kind of common relationship issue can wreak havoc on a man's sex drive and make it difficult to enjoy sex.
- Physical and medical conditions: Medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity and some medications used to treat depression and hair loss can negatively impact sexual health and well-being. Erectile dysfunction can not only affect his ability to have intercourse but also how a man feels about his ability to perform.
- Premature ejaculation: Premature ejaculation is one of the most common issues that men experience and it can be embarrassing and frustrating to deal with for both him and his partner. Premature ejaculation affects all aspects of sex, including his sexual performance, orgasm, and the ability to enjoy sex. Importantly, it can negatively affect his partner’s ability to enjoy sex and often, men who suffer from premature ejaculation also begin to see a negative impacts on his relationship as well. The use of a Male Masturbator Toy such as our Fleshlight Stamina Training Unit Value Pack can help him train to go for longer.
- Useful technique: Start using the fleshlight as you like while maintaining control of your pubococcygeus muscle, you may become excited but try to calm yourself and relax the muscle. It may start contracting violently and this is something you want to avoid to prevent reaching the point of no return. Continue the exercise and stop all activity if you feel you may be close to the edge and continue. Repeat this as often as you can to help increase your stamina.
- Erectile dysfunction: If you find it difficult to maintain an erection, Cock Rings can be a useful aid. They can also help you enjoy yourself in the moment and reduce stress about staying erect. Cock Rings work by trapping blood in the penis. This slows the blood flow which helps it stay harder, longer. To use it, simply slide it around your erect penis until it sits at the base. For men who have difficulty getting an erection, he might find a Penis Pump to be useful. It helps to draw the blood flow into the penis and once erect, use the cock ring to keep it there.
- Prostate health: There are many benefits of regular prostate massage. It not only reduces the risk of prostate cancer, genital pain, prostatitis, loss of erections, ejaculatory problems and frequent night-time urination, it also increases the intensity of ejaculation and heightens the sexual experience. Prostate Stimulators are highly recommended for this job. Most Anal Sex Toys can also be useful. They're not only used for sexual pleasure but also for better health. Not only will you enjoy the benefits of anal stimulation, using anal sex toys designed for men also helps massage the prostate gland. The Zero Tolerance Great Prostate is ideal for perineum and prostate stimulation.
