More Information for Men about Male Enhancement

For most men of us difficulty with erections can be damaging to us and the health of our relationship.

Despite more understanding about the causes of erectile dysfunction, as well as a growing number of effective treatments, many men are too embarrassed or do not have enough information to seek medical help.

About 90 percent of men with erectile dysfunction don’t talk to a doctor about the problem, so can’t be treated effectively.

What is erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction is: Persistent inability to attain and/or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. The occasional temporary erectile failure due to tiredness, stress or excessive alcohol consumption is not the same thing.

Erectile dysfunction is a long-term, recurrent medical problem needing proper diagnosis and treatment. Dispelling the following myths about erectile dysfunction (the more precise term for impotence) will help men and their partners to understand the condition and open channels of communications between them and medical professionals.

MYTH 1

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION MEANS LOSS OF INTEREST IN SEX, LACK OF VIGOUR OR STERILITY

FACT:

In most cases, affected men retain desire and the ability to have an orgasm and ejaculate. Erectile dysfunction means a difficulty with erections, not a loss of interest in sex, sterility, or a lack of strength, vigour or power.

MYTH 2

DIFFICULTY WITH ERECTIONS IS NOT THAT COMMON AND DOESN’T AFFECT REAL MEN

FACT:

Erectile dysfunction is common with estimates of more than 100 million men worldwide suffering the condition to some degree.

MYTH 3:

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION IS A NATURAL PART OF GROWING OLD

FACT:

There is a higher incidence of erectile dysfunction among older men because of age-related conditions, including vascular disease, diabetes and medications for these conditions. Although it mainly affects older men, it also occurs in younger males. Erectile dysfunction should not be considered a natural or acceptable part of the ageing process.

MYTH 4:

MOST CASES OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION ARE DUE TO A PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEM

FACT:

Seventy to ninety percent of men suffering from erectile dysfunction have an underlying physical cause for their impotence, although psychological factors may also play a role. Erectile dysfunction is a medical condition often caused by other health problems, including diabetes, cardiovascular conditions and trauma. The physical risk factors for erectile dysfunction fall into five main groups: Vascular disorders – circulatory problems that interfere with blood supply to the penis including hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), diabetes, high blood pressure and abnormally raised blood cholesterol. Lifestyle factors – smoking, which exacerbates vascular problems such as high blood pressure, alcohol and drug abuse. Neurological disorders including multiple sclerosis and trauma resulting in pelvic or spinal cord injury. Surgery (e.g. for prostate disease) and radiation therapy. Some drugs prescribed to treat high blood pressure, depression, heart disease, gastric ulcers and cancer. Overall, diabetes is the single most common condition linked with erectile dysfunction and it is estimated that nearly half of men with diabetes have some degree of erectile dysfunction.

MYTH 5:

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION DOESN’T AFFECT YOUR HEALTH AND YOU SHOULD LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT

FACT:

Erectile dysfunction is a significant source of emotional stress, and can lead to poor self-image, loss of self-confidence and depression. Unfortunately, embarrassment and unwillingness to discuss sexual matters openly mean erectile dysfunction often remains undiagnosed and untreated. It is important to seek medical advice and appropriate treatment.

MYTH 6:

THE DIAGNOSIS OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION INVOLVES LOTS OF EMBARRASSING AND INVASIVE TESTS

FACT:

The diagnosis of erectile dysfunction involves techniques such as taking a medical and sexual history, asking about smoking, alcohol and medications. Only a standard physical examination is usually needed, including taking your blood pressure. Laboratory tests on blood and urine will help identify any underlying medical cause that may need treatment.

MYTH 7:

THERE’S NO POINT IN SEEKING TREATMENT AS ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION IS NOT EASILY TREATED

FACT:

In the majority of cases, erectile dysfunction can be successfully treated. It is therefore important for patients to seek advice from their doctor, for the good of themselves, their partners and their relationships.

Is there a cure for Peyronies disease?

The answer to this question is both yes and no. Although there are methods in place that can help reduce, if not cure, peyronies completely – such as penile corrective surgery and penis enlargement devices – actually preventing peyronies before it occurs is still not possible. All you can do is learn how to handle it.

What is Peyronies?

Caused by the development of fibrous tissues on the inner lining of your penis, peyronies is reputed to affect 388 out of 100,000 men across the world between the age groups of 40-60 years old.

Yet despite this classification peyronies has been found in men as young as their teens causing penile curvatures of between 30° to 60°. But the main problem with this condition is the health risks it can cause if left untreated.

Alongside its ability to make penetration uncomfortable, peyronies can cause impotency removing your chances of having children in the future. For this reason penis enlargement devices and surgeries could make the difference to helping you lead a better life.

Penile correction surgeries

There are various male enhancement surgeries available, but the best 3 would have to be: placation, excision-grafting and prosthetic implantation. Known to be effective in correcting penile curvatures, these surgeries do as a whole work. The only problem with them is the possible risk they each incur, as we shall now explain.

Plication surgery

Designed to reduce the length on one side of your penis to match the other, this method should remove the curvature and straighten your penis. That being taken into account, this surgery as a result will shorten the length of your penis as a whole.

Excision-Grafting surgery

Based around applying a graft to your penis once an incision has been made into the lump on the tunica albuginea, this procedure on the one hand does straighten your penis. Its only consequence is a risk of deformity that can come as a result of blood vessels dying in the graft.

Alongside risks of deformation, grafts are known to cause the penis to shorten (with time) and induce impotency.

Prosthetic Implantation surgery

Utilising a semi-rigid silastic inflatable cylinder, this device is inserted into the corpora cavernosa to promote the straightening of your penis. You need to be careful with this procedure though as this too can cause impotency.

Penis enlargement devices

Specifically designed to encourage tissue cell generation in your penis chamber, the use of Medical Type 1 materials within a penis traction device means users can experience male enhancement benefits of increased blood flow, a penis length increase of up to 3 inches and penile corrections of 60%.

Surgery or penis enlargement devices?

Both penile correction surgeries and penis enlargement devices can ease penile curvatures, but out of the two methods available traction devices can by far offer users the most security.

Risk free and medically backed by European CE standards, penis traction devices hold none of the risks that can come with surgery. Deformities and impotency… none of these are evident within these types of devices. Instead consumers can use a credible, affordable device that can cure their curved penis by 60% whilst naturally increasing their penis size by up to 30%.

Andrew Coyne is a leading expert in the area of general penis health and safe, medically endorsed penis enlargement methods. His expertise has led him to be a spokesperson for sufferers of bent penis syndrome and peyronies.

National average penis size – what is it?

Beyond the myth and stereotype that every culture has got a different average penis size, the truth of the matter is that everyone is generally the same. No matter where you are from the national average penis size is up to 6 inches.

A fact that is further proved by studies performed by the Journal of Urology (1996) and Lifestyle Condoms (2004). In these 2 separate studies they came to the same conclusion that on average men are between 5.08 to 5.9 inches.

History behind this penis size obsession

As far back as 2,000 years ago, depictions of large members have been associated with figures of authority. Gods, leaders, people of position… every one of them is displayed as having a large penis. With this kind of background in place it is easy to see why some men strive to increase their penis size through natural male enhancement and penis enlargement methods. It is only natural.

Then there is the genetics of it all.

Until puberty, men experience limited penis growth. Stuck at 2.4 inches in length, it is only when their bodies begin to transgress into adulthood that their penis once more grows.

Now taking into consideration that there is no set age for puberty – with some beginning as early as 11 and others waiting until 15 years old – during this period no adolescent is the same. They are all at different stages of development which makes those locker rooms moments even more understandable. But as a result has left many men resting with these insecurities into adulthood.

Small penises – do they exist?

Unfortunately micropenises do exist and they occur in 0.6% of men.

Caused by a deficiency in testosterone levels during the 2^nd and 3^rd trimester of pregnancy, this hormone reduction results in a stunting in penis growth that will continue with them into adulthood.

These cases of micropenis though are rare, and are easily identifiable as individuals with this condition can only experience erection sizes of 2 inches, compared to the average male.

Luckily, advances in science and penis enlargement devices means this condition no longer has to feel like a problem but can be cured.

Traction devices in particular can encourage natural penis enlargement of 2.75 inches through the stimulation of new tissue cells within the penis chambers.

Male Enhancement Facts

Do you believe that circumcision is a key factor in your arousal?

Circumcision is common in some countries more than others. Over 60% of newborn babies in the U.S. are circumcised compared to 24% in the U.K. and 14% in Australia. Some males are circumcised for medical considerations, others for personal reasons or simply parental choice. But, does whether a guy is cut or uncut impact your level of arousal?

Male circumcisions are performed all over the world. There is currently a lot of debate about circumcision in the U.S. and whether it should be carried out routinely on baby boys.

Circumcisions are carried out for a number of reasons; social, cultural, religious and more rarely, for medical reasons. Circumcision is common within the Jewish and Islamic faith communities. Worldwide circumcisions are carried out by people ranging from surgeons, religious leaders, to tribal healers.

Some Facts About Foreskin Restoration

Foreskin restoration has been described even before Celsus, the first great Roman physician (25 B.C. to A.D. 50), wrote “De Medicin.”  The procedure used today is only somewhat adapted from what had been done then so “the patient could move around inconspicuously in Greek and Roman society.”  Celsus drew heavily on his Egyptian and Greek predecessors. Jews felt uncomplete in Greek society and circumcision was looked at as a deformity. Some Jews would try to have their foreskin “put” back on to try to fit in with Greek culture.

In the U.S., the rate of circumcision is coming down according to the most recent statistical data on circumcision published in 1999. Circumcision used to be higher for white infants. Now, black and white rates are about the same according to data from the National Hospital Discharge Survey. Hispanics, in general, do not routinely have circumcisions carried out on their newborn children.

Because the reasons and circumstances vary, it is difficult to accurately estimate the total number of cases of circumcisions. The United States has one of the highest rates of male circumcision with over 60 percent of newborn males born in a hospital having one. This is down from the rate of 85 percent recorded in the 1970s. Over 1.25 million infants are circumcised annually; that’s more than 3,300 babies each day.

What you should know before restoring your foreskin:

There are many methods available on the net to restore foreskin; however very few are from certified medical professionals. Be sure to consult a physician before attempting foreskin restoration.

Foreskin restoration can take from 1-3 years to complete.

Factors such as available penis shaft skin, frequency of techniques and desired amount of coverage play a role in how long it will take to restore your foreskin

Many patients, as an alternative to surgery, may elect to use stretching devices under urological supervision which could produce an acceptable result in 2 to 3 years.

With a surgical procedure, the skin of the distal shaft is advanced forward to create a neo-foreskin. This leaves a denuded area at the base of the penile shaft, which is buried under t he scrotum.  The pigmentation of scrotal skin is a close match to epithelial penile skin.  A catheter is left in for a few days and a dressing is placed over the foreskin pulling it forward until the laminated skin heals.

After an interval of 3 months, the penis is lifted from the scrotum with wings of scrotal flaps on both sides.  The flaps are closed underneath the penis.  The scrotum is also closed at that time.  Variation in technique may be required to best suit the unique anatomy of each patient and erections must be suppressed with anti-testosterone medication.

With the recent death of actor David Carradine possibly being linked to sexual asphyxiation, this strange and bizarre fetish is once again in the news. Carradine is not the first star believed to have died from this fetish, as Michael Hutchence, former lead singer of INXS, was believed to have passed from this accidental death, too. While most of the media and the authorities like to claim that these are suicide attempts, the sad truth is that most hangings are not suicide attempts but failure to save them in time during sexual arousal.

Most hangings that occur every year across the world are not from suicide. Most persons found hung are male and found naked with a small percentage of those who die from autoerotic asphyxiation being women. This is usually a clue to what happened like pornographic material scattered about  but for some reason the media and police want to cover up the cause of death as if it is easier to accept that someone wanted to willing die than to admit to the world that they died messing around with a dangerous and deadly fetish.

Sexual asphyxiation has been used for centuries as a questionable form of male enhancement. The idea for this most likely came from subjects who were executed by hanging. Observers at public hangings noted male victims developed an erection, sometimes remaining after death, and occasionally ejaculated when being hanged.  It was believed to be first used as a treatment for erectile dysfunction and impotence.

Yearly, there are around 250 to 1000 accidental deaths in the United States alone from this fetish, but most cases are reported as suicide.  

There are several methods used to attain the level of oxygen depletion needed such as suffocation, hanging, and the use of rope or cloth used by a partner. In those who practice BDSM, this is referred to as edgeplay or breathplay, and usually involves limits and control to this consensual activity. But even with care, the results of erotic asphyxiation can be dangerous and deadly even to those who who understand the controls need to safely execute this fetish.

The most dangerous forms of this fetish involve autoerotic asphyxiation as when the threshold needed to achieve pleasure is reached.  Most people do not have a way to stop from going over into death. Deaths often occur when the loss of consciousness caused by partial asphyxia leads to loss of control over the means of strangulation, resulting in continued asphyxia and death.

While often erotic asphyxiation is incorporated into sex with a partner, others enjoy this behavior by themselves, making it potentially more complicated to get out of dangerous situations. Victims are often found to have rigged some sort of rescue mechanism that has not worked in the way they anticipated as they lost consciousness.

 While fetish play is usually healthy for an active and engaging sex life, you should never engage in this dangerous and deadly fetish, even with a partner who understands the risk. There are many other alternatives to male impotence and male inadequacy and you should seek the help of a doctor before trying any method of sexual arousal and male enhancement.
