Do Male Enhancement Products Really Work?

There are several different types of male enhancement products you can find on the market today. Some of the most popular include:

·  Pills: These dietary supplements contain a mixture of vitamins, minerals, hormones or herbs that are intended to enlarge the penis.

·  Lotions: Like male enhancement pills, these lotions contain a mixture of ingredients for penis enlargement.

·  Pumps: These pumps use a vacuum mechanism to draw blood into the penis and cause it to swell. This creates a temporarily larger-looking penis.

·  Stretching: This method involves a stretcher or extender that is attached to the penis in order to exert traction and lengthen the penis.

·  Penile rings: These rings are placed around the shaft of the penis to increase size and, in some cases, to also help a man maintain an erection.

In addition to these products, there are also certain procedures and exercises used for male enhancement. These have not been proven to be effective and the long-term effects of such methods are unknown.

Scientific Evidence

If you are considered using a male enhancement product, it’s important to look closely at the scientific evidence backing the product. In most cases, the endorsements for these products come solely from testimonials from customers or the sexual partners’ of customers. In addition, there may be questionable before-and-after photos as well a skewed data accompanying the advertisement. These are unreliable sources of information regarding the effectiveness of the product.

In addition, it’s important to consider the safety of the product and its potential effects on your health. Many of these have safety and health claims which have not yet been proved. In the case of dietary supplements, no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) evaluation is required before putting the product on the market. Just about all the packaging for male enhancement pills or lotions contains a sentence that reads like “These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).” This indicates that the products have not been proven to work and could potentially be harmful to your health. With vacuum pumps, stretching devices, exercises and surgery, it’s important to consider that these methods may cause damage to the elastic tissues in the penis and may compromise a man’s ability to maintain an erection in the future.

The Truth About Penis Size

One of the main reasons that men become interested in or try male enhancement products is the fear that their penis size is smaller than average or unsatisfactory for their partner. However, studies have found that many men who believe their penis is too small actually have a normal-sized penis. The following information is essential for men who are considered using male enhancement products:

·  The average penis size is between 3 to 5 inches when not erect and 5 to 7 inches when erect.

·  Penis is only considered to be abnormally small (a condition called micropenis) when it is less than 3 inches long when erect.

·  Studies suggest that penis size is not a top priority for most women when choosing a mate. There is insufficient data at this point about how gay men perceive their partners’ penis size.

·  Understanding a sexual partner’s desires is more likely to improve your sexual relationship than simply increasing the size of the penis.

Healthy And Safe Alternatives

As indicated by the information above, there are no proven methods for male enhancement, and many of these products are considered to be risky or unsafe. Therefore, it is safer to consider some healthy alternatives to improve your perception of your penis size. Some examples of safe and healthy alternatives to male enhancement products include:

·  Get in shape. Being overweight or having a large belly can make your penis appear smaller. Lose extra fat and get in shape to help your penis appear larger.

·  Trim your pubic hair. Having a lot of pubic hair at the base of the penis can obscure part of it and make it appear smaller. Keep your pubic hair trimmed for a larger appearance.

·  Look in the mirror. Many men don’t spend much time in front of a mirror, particularly when they are naked. Consequently, their perception of their penis size may be skewed since a penis tends to appear smaller and shorter when viewed from above. Look in a mirror and you may find that your penis is larger than you think.

·  Educate yourself. Learn about the average penis size and how it relates to satisfaction in the bedroom. Many men find out that they have a completely normal penis and that their sex life can be just as exciting without increasing its size.

·  Talk to your partner. Many men are able to improve their sex life just by talking with their partner about needs, desires and preferences. You may find that penis enlargement isn’t necessary to improve your sexual relationships or to increase your self-confidence and satisfaction.

·  See a therapist. If you find that you are significantly focused on feelings of inadequacy about your penis size, you may benefit from seeing a therapist to work through those issues.

Male enhancement products are enticing to many men, but the fact is that these products tend to be unsafe and may pose certain health risks. Try the alternatives listed above to improve your perception about your penis size instead of turning to male enhancement products.

What Are Premature Ejaculation Causes?

Premature ejaculation is characterized with sperm release from penis before penetration or right away after it. There is no another scientific description of this disorder in medicine.

Many sexologists tried to find a connection between premature ejaculation and intercourse duration, number of frictions during intercourse, time that it takes a woman to reach orgasm, but no one has found this connection. 

Who suffers from premature ejaculation?
In most cases premature ejaculation is found in young men who started early their sexual life. Premature release of sperm occurs because of excessive excitement or hypersensitive glans – these are two major factors causing premature ejaculation right away after beginning of sexual intercourse or before penetration.

It is considered that premature ejaculation occurs in younger age and with experience disappears. However, when the situation not changes, man starts seeking medical advice. 

Premature ejaculation occurs rarely among adult males. However, the disorder may be kept from teenage but may appear in mature years. Causes of premature ejaculation in experienced men differ from premature ejaculation in young men. 

Premature ejaculation causes
All factors causing premature ejaculation may be divided into next groups:
 - physiologic, i.e. connected with diseases and peculiarities of male genitalia constitution
 - psychological, i.e. connected with environmental effect over male psyche

There are two physiologic causes of premature ejaculation:
1) chronic inflammation of seminal vesicles  (vesiculitis);
2) hypersensitive glans.

Age and Male Sex Drive

Charlie Chaplin became father when he was over 60 years old. In harems of Oriental sovereigns there were not less than hundred wives and concubines, and certainly their duties included not only feeding camels and keeping the house clean...

Heracles overnight could make love to fifty daughters of Thespius and it is considered his Thirteenth Labour. Andrologists say each male has such sexual reserves.

Everyone knows that male age has its effects on potency. At twenty years old men are able to make sex day and night. By thirty they get cooler and their sex life becomes regular. Males at forty have enough power and experience to make many things. After fifty, naturally occur age-specific changes in male body: cells do regenerate slowly and production of sex hormones get reduced. Sex drive remains high but male needs more power to perform.

However, age is not just the number of living years but it is a rate showing deterioration of human body. Some males aged 70 give a head start to males aged 30. Therefore, to estimate health condition doctors use notion of “biological age” - true rate of aging which is identified with special tests. It includes examinations of cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous systems, cholesterol rate in blood, elasticity of chorda.

When all body systems are in good condition in a man, then his biological age corresponds his passport one. In some cases tests show that there are some problems with health. For example, blood vessels are not keeping up, lumen is narrow and there is much cholesterol in blood. So in this case male age may be over age indicated in passport. These tests help doctors to find out if patient belongs to risk group for heart attack – this information is very useful for those who care about their health and do not want to die during an orgasm.

Each male is interested in personal rate of sexual activity. What is his rate – high, low or normal? Has he any reserves or not? To find the answer to these questions there is no need to make sex marathons or  compare with friends.  It would be enough to consult specialists in this field – andrologists (andrology is a medicine section which studies causes, mechanisms and treatment of male sexual diseases).

After examination of biological age of a male, including ultrasound investigation of penile vessels, the male would be given to fill a questionnaire about his sexual activity. It is recommended to answer on those questions fairly.

When male body is OK but sexual satisfaction is low, more likely that peak of sexual activity is not occurred yet. In such men those things would come. Instead, if health is not OK and sexual satisfaction is high, possibly male has overrated his resources and his body stretches to the limit its capabilities. In this case it is necessary to take actions, otherwise male sex drive would go down.

How To Prevent Erection Failures

If you observe that erection failures occur more frequently, probably, you are waiting too much from yourself or you are trying to make sex in an inappropriate place. Check below ways to reduce to minimum these failures. Most important thing is that these tips would help to avoid anxiety which leads to a serious long-term problems.

 - Avoid accidental partners, at least until you acquire self-confidence. You will trouble less and work better if you would create steady relationships with a partner whose reactions you know and whom you may trust.

 - Do not judge your quality observing condition of your penis. Mutual satisfaction may be achieved without sexual intercourse, though during physical contact erection may occur without your conscious participation.

- If you cannot achieve erection or it disappeared before sexual intercourse or during it, you should not get upset. Explain to your partner what has happened. “Probably, I am very tired today. Let us try tomorrow in the morning.” Do not feel yourself guilty and assure your partner that there is no his guilt in that.
