Just because you\u2019ve got one doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re a damned expert. There are some people who\u2019ve studied penises for years; they\u2019re called urologists and you should really listen to what they\u2019ve got to say. They\u2019re penis doctors, after all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some STIs Don\u2019t Show Symptoms Immediately<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Some don\u2019t even show up until months or years later \u2013 so get tested, chump.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not always so obvious as a burning sensation when you pee or seeing spots on the head or shaft of your penis; some STIs like HPV go symptomless for a long time before you\u2019ll ever know you\u2019ve got it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another fact that any urologist will tell you, and one that <\/span>we\u2019ve been harping on about for years<\/span><\/a> is that <\/span>masturbation and sex is fun and beneficial to your health<\/span><\/a>. Keeping up a normal self-sex life will help you reap the <\/span>benefits of frequent orgasms<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Jerking Off Is Good for Your Penile Health<\/h3>\n

When you masturbate, you\u2019re stimulating blood flow to your genitals, and thus clearing out the blood vessels in your penis. If you don\u2019t masturbate? You might notice after a while that you experience wet dreams<\/a> \u2013 it’s your body\u2019s way of handling the situation if you\u2019re not going to.<\/span><\/p>\n

Masturbating Too Much Is Bad For Your Penile Health<\/h3>\n

And don\u2019t <\/span>masturbate too hard or vigorously<\/span><\/a>. to avoid possibly damaging your penis. Jerking off too much in a short span could see you suffering some tissue damage from friction or tearing. Meanwhile masturbating using the \u2018death grip\u2019 method or by humping your mattress can put a lot of pressure on your penis that can be damaging if practiced too frequently.<\/span><\/p>\n

Obvious bit of info here that we\u2019ll say anyhow: just because it\u2019s called a boner, doesn\u2019t mean that there\u2019s a bone in it. Even without a bone however… <\/span><\/p>\n

You Actually Can Break Your Penis<\/h3>\n

When aroused, two stretches of spongy tissue down each side of your shaft fill with blood to get hard — then when they\u2019re hard, they are NOT supposed to be bent. <\/span><\/p>\n

If bent suddenly, you can break this area of spongy tissue and, if you don\u2019t seek immediate medical help you can suffer from erectile dysfunction and other lifelong damage. Be careful out there, guys.<\/span><\/p>\n

You Will Likely Have Erectile Dysfunction<\/a> at Some Point<\/h3>\n

It happens to all of us for one reason or another from time to time for a number of reasons, one of the most common being stress. Has your job got you down? Experiencing some friction with your partner or family? If you\u2019re going through a hard time personally and your penis isn\u2019t cooperating, you might be exhibiting what\u2019s called psychogenic ED. The treatment: deal with what\u2019s stressing you out and <\/span>practice some mindfulness<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dealing with a less than hard penis is an inevitability, and one that you can treat with pharmaceuticals. However there\u2019s more than one way to help your hard on: <\/span>to add a bit of extra \u2018oomph\u2019 to an erection, consider a cockring<\/span>. <\/span>A stretchy, soft cockring like TOR 2<\/a><\/span> will help to gently constrict blood flow from your penis, making it harder and a bit fuller-looking as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not on their radar yet, but in the near future more and more urologists will be working with Sextech in order to treat and diagnose penis patients. Sextech is in its pioneering stages right now with the only product on the market that will be able to provide feedback about your sexual responses and performance, the F1S masturbation sleeve<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Say for instance that you want to know at which point during intimacy that your penis is most erect — with Sextech, you can find out. Want to know which areas of the vagina your penis is stimulating most? Sextech will be able to help you there too. You see, items in this new field of Sextech feature sensors throughout their designs that, with some programming know-how, will be able to give you feedback on any number of aspects of your performance. <\/span><\/p>\n

You’ll Probably Be Insecure About Your Penis<\/h3>\n

Well, just deal with it and move on because there is as of now no way to make your penis longer or bigger. <\/span>Jelqing, surgery, penis pumps — there are a number of purported methods<\/span> of increasing the size of your penis but none of them have shown any positive results.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
