How to Keep Your Penis Healthy

Staying healthy is crucial for one's well-being but some parts of our body require more attention than others. When it comes to guys, then keeping your penis in shape is one of the priorities - for various reasons. Most of the guys will say that penis is their most important organ (and who would blame them?), but it is also one of the most sensitive parts of men's body. Every health issue you deal with will directly and strongly affect your penis too. If you are 50 years old and you have kept it safe and maintained, it will have the same sexual performance as it had when you were 30. Inspecting your penis regularly, practicing good hygiene and wearing the right kind of underwear are just some aspects of maintaining your family jewels. However, there are some other actions you can take to keep it in top shape.

Loose Alcohol and Tobacco
A glass of wine may increase your self-esteem and increase libido in men but anything above such a limit will affect your penis. Alcohol will lower your erection power and if you continue drinking too much, it might cause permanent impotence. Tobacco has similar effects because smoking causes clogging of your blood vessels. If your blood can't flow to your penis then it will not be able to reach erection. All surveys show that smokers are twice more likely to have erectile dysfunction which should make you quit this bad habit as soon as possible.

Stay Active
Sitting at home in front of TV or PC is not a good solution for any aspect of your health. On the other hand, exercising or even taking a regular walk every day will significantly improve your general fitness. Regular exercising will increase your blood flow which will unclog any stuffed vessels thus improving your erection. 

Eat More Fish - But Not All
Fish is generally rich in omega-3 fatty acids that are quite beneficial for your penis but also for your heart. However, some fish species also contain various toxins that may harm your sperm. For example, dioxins that are found in some species could lower your testosterone. Most of these harmful elements are found in big species or those that are farmed in fishponds. Therefore, it would be wise to avoid fish like farmed salmon, large bluefish, and striped bass. On the other hand, species such as wild salmon, sea bass, or skipjack tuna should be a part of your regular menu.

Minimize Stress and Try to Sleep Well
Stress is harmful to every part of your body and mind and it also has vast negative effects on your sexual health. A stressed organism starts to release higher levels of a hormone called adrenaline. The first effect of adrenaline is narrowing of your blood vessels which will reduce your erection. Sleeping makes your organism rejuvenated and fresh, plus it increases natural shields and defenses that are crucial for your general health condition. If you are exhausted, your penis will know it and it will not perform well. That is why you need to make sure you sleep like a baby.

Keep It Busy
The best way of preserving your penis in form is to exercise regularly. This means you should use it as often as you can, so it would not get rusty. Surveys really show that men who are sexually active have fewer problems with erectile dysfunction as they get older. Hence, be sure to find an appropriate partner that will keep you healthy and happy.

How to increase male libido?

The low sex drive not only affects women, many men in their lifetime also experience lack of libido. Knowing how to increase male libido can help man recover or revitalise their sex life, allowing it to be lived and enjoyed in full.

It is a common misconception that only women suffer from low libido, but the truth is that about 1 in 5 men suffer from low sex drive and push sex into the background compared to other activities.

Low male libido causes
Aging is the main causal factors of low male libido; however, it is not the only reason for this condition. All men are different and although many maintain their sexual desire throughout life, others suffer a break at certain times and due to various causes. The main causes can be:

Psychological causes: Stress and anxiety present in the day-to-day problems in relationships, depression and its treatment, can affect sexual desire.

Medical problems: Health problems such as diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, also influence sexual desire, as well as some anti-AIDS drugs and hair loss.

Hormonal causes: Testosterone is the hormone in both male and female, is responsible for sexual desire. In some chronic diseases, due to some medication or after andropause, testosterone levels can undergo breakage, having negative consequences on the male libido. Sexuality can also be affected by low levels of thyroid hormone or prolactin produced in the brain.

Dopamine: Dopamine is a messenger substance in the brain; with this your body is closely linked to sexual desire. Low levels of dopamine, common in people with depression or other neurological diseases, are proven to interfere with sexual desire.

Treatment for low male libido
Treatment for low male libido depends on the causal factors, so if present underlying health conditions, these should be treated first.
In addition, there are some changes that can improve your sex life, such as:

Let yourself be carried away by the moment: If your partner or partner wants to have sex and your will is not much, just do not say no. Give in to her advances and lose yourself in the moment. The most certain is that the dormant sex drives awakens in the middle of stimulation and can take pleasure.

Sleep well: Sleeping well increases the production of testosterone during the night, which will allow more constant levels during the day and the increase in sexual desire, especially in the morning.

Evaluate other sexual dysfunction: Erectile dysfunction can shake male confidence, which in turn has an impact on sexual desire. The inability to achieve erections sufficient for penetration needs some professional care; your condition should be properly evaluated and may require the taking of oral treatments for impotence, to help eliminate this concern.

Have sex elsewhere: The mind-set that will have sex in the same bed and in the same room can always be demotivating. Consider other rooms such as bathroom, kitchen or living room in the house, which can further stimulate your sex drive simply by being different.

Improving Sexual Health

One of the most important activities in a man’s life is to have sex. Not only is it important, but it is something that men want to do well. If a man can satisfy his partner then it makes him feel more confident about himself and increases his self esteem. When men are younger they tend to have a higher sex drive because their adrenal glands are producing a lot of testosterone in their bodies. This allows them to perform better sexually and increases their chances of giving women orgasms. However, as men get older their adrenal glands tend to produce less testosterone, which causes them to have a lower sex drive. Once this happens, the man will eventually feel depressed and have low self esteem. Then they will likely take antidepressants to try and relieve these painful feelings, but the antidepressants will just make their sex drive worse. Depression doesn't just affect older people’s sexual health because younger people with depression will also have a low sex drive as well. It’s just that the reasons for the depression will be different between the two age groups.


            To get a higher sex drive you have to find a way to get more energy and feel good about yourself. Sometimes all you need to do is tweak your mental state in order to increase your sexual health. This could mean going to a psychiatrist to talk about your problems and get rid of those mental barriers that are preventing you from getting aroused. If you need a natural way to feel better, then try some form of cardiovascular exercise. You could just go for a simple 20 minute walk or jog every day. You will be amazed how much better you will feel afterwards. It will also help you lose weight and promotes a healthy heart. If your problem has to do with testosterone production then you can either purchase a testosterone supplement at your local drug store or you can go visit your doctor to get a prescription. Finally, try new sexual positions with your partner. Sometimes couples that have been together for a long time will lose their sex drives because the sex becomes a routine that never changes. If you keep having sex in the same place and in the same position then it will get boring after awhile. That is why you should purchase a Kama Sutra manual and try out new sexual positions that you have never tried before. This will spice up the excitement in the bedroom, which will help increase the sex drive of you and your partner.

Few Ways to Improve Your Sex Life if you are over 50

It is a well known fact that the body is changing over the years but that doesn’t mean that the sex life should suffer with those changes. When the body starts to get older, sexual needs are changing too. Even the level of desire and possibilities changes too. The best way to deal with these changes is to talk about them with your partner, because menopause and andropause (male menopause) is something that no one should go through alone.

Over the years the level of testosterone in men is getting lower and this directly affects the erection – it is getting weaker, harder to achieve and the process of regeneration is slower. This inability to maintain a harder erection is usually solved with medications like Viagra or similar medication.

Women have to deal with lower levels of estrogen, which usually causes often emotional changes.

The cause for the difficulties in the bed can be found in non-sexual diseases too. For example, cardiovascular problems, high blood pressure, hormone difficulties, diabetes, anxiety, depression are all problems that can affect the process of getting an erection or vaginal lubrication. Besides these diseases, that are often found in elder patients, the medications used to treat these diseases and the side effects that they bring can also affect the sex life. Emotional stress that these diseases bring can also have negative impact.

Medications can affect both the sexual desire and the arousal and the ability to reach orgasm. In case you have noticed that the medications are directly linked with these things you should seek advice from your doctor. The doctor can prescribe other medications that might be better and you won’t feel the side effects.

After a certain age you really don’t need to be protected against pregnancy and this is a big plus when it comes to sexual intercourses because you can enjoy more. But keep in mind that sexually transmitted diseases don’t know about age so wearing a condom is still important if you are having sex with people you don’t really know.


A common problem that occurs in long term relationships is the discrepancy in the libido. Feel free to talk about that with your partner and maybe with a therapist. Having a certain time for having sex can be very beneficial in these cases. Maybe it sounds like getting into a routine but regular sex increases the desire for sex. Masturbation can also be very helpful, because it keeps the walls of the vagina in shape and keeps the erectile function in men on high level.

The life expectancy is continuously extending and so is the period when we are sexually active. In order to have sex even when you are older make sure you exercise regularly, watch your diet, avoid alcohol and stop smoking.

Try to spice up the sexual intercourse with longer foreplay or different kind of foreplay, change positions, use lubricants and don’t forget that sex is much more than a sexual act but also fondling and kissing.
