A Few Condom Problems

Condoms are the most efficient protection because they create a thin barrier which prevents semen, bacteria and viruses to pass from one person to another. If they are used in the right way, condoms can prevent unwanted pregnancy and transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. Those who think that HIV cannot be stopped with a condom are wrong.

If men use condoms properly with their partners, 98% of their intercourses won’t result in pregnancy. This percentage drops in case condoms are not used in a proper way. Other contraceptives, like pills, are very effective against unplanned pregnancy, but they don’t provide any protection against STDs. By combining male or female condoms with some other method of contraception you will get a complete protection against pregnancy and infections.

Many of us use condoms without any problems. The more you use these protective products, the less likely it is to fall off or break. Once can practice putting a condom when they masturbate.

Putting the condom on the penis

Some men have problems putting a condom on a hard erected penis. They can try using a bigger condom, and in case this doesn’t help, they can first start unwrapping the condom a little bit and then place it in the same way as you put your socks on. You need to be sure that there is no air between the skin and condom.

Feeling

Modern condoms are very thin, so the loss of feeling is insignificant. The thinner the condom is, the less feeling you will lose. What is important is the size of the condom. Some condoms are ribbed or have some other modifications on their surface in order to increase the feeling and pleasure in both partners.

Erection

If wearing a condom causes trouble in maintaining proper erection, a man can choose a special technique. They need to hold the base of their penis with their fingers before they start putting the condom. This will stop the blood flow and keep the erection. The so-called cock ring has the same, but slightly longer effect.

Disruptions

Disrupting the sexual intercourse in order to find a condom can have a negative effect on the arousal in both partners. That’s why it is recommended to keep the condoms close to you. Keeping a condom in your bag, pocket or close to the bed shows that you are responsible and that you care about your health and the health of your partner.

Allergy

People who are allergic to latex (itching and redness) can use condoms made from different materials. These materials are made in a way in which the user won’t have to deal with the characteristic smell of latex.

Communication

It is also a good idea to talk about protection before sex. Your partner will be glad to hear that you’ve brought up such topic, but some of them might react in a negative way because they believe that you don’t trust them. Simply, point out that you want to use condom because you care about their and your own health. 

Honesty in Relationships

Two-sided, honest communication is vital in your relationship and sex life. It is a key to understanding your partner, to keep each other happy and satisfied. Perhaps you –or your partner – feel ill at ease when you talk about sex. However, it is better to face your problems as soon as they raise their heads. Being honest in your sex life, your sexual history included, is not awkward, it is a responsible thing to do.

According to Laura Berman PhD., a Chicago based relationship counselor and sex therapist, you should ask your partner about tests on sexually transmitted diseases. You should ask this question early in the relationship, before having (probably unprotected) sex. You should ask your partner about the date of their last test. You know that a negative HIV test from two years ago might not mean a safe sex life now. The sex therapist says you should be upfront and casual, for example, you should say, “I have had an STD test since my last relationship; and you?” According to Berman, you do not have to discuss how many partners you had in the past or the exact details of your encounters, because it may lead to jealousy. Your honesty on being tested and healthy will be just enough. Require the same honesty from your partner. It is a matter of your safety and health.

Both Laura Berman and Marty Klein, a licensed marriage counselor and certified sex therapist, say that many American couples focus on getting married instead of communicating with each other and getting to know each other. This is how they fail to notice key differences in their sex drive and lifestyle. It leads to unaddressed issues. Later on, lack of communication may make things worse, giving way to superficial expectations.

According to Klein, people believe that they should feel intense sexual desire for their partner forever - however, it is not possible. On the other hand, when you do not have a satisfying love life, your empathy level gets lower, and it undermines communication and understanding. It is a vicious circle. It may lead to conflict, anxiety, mental and emotional distress, depression and marriage problems.

Again, honesty can help. You should just tell your partner about your sexual needs and desires. Klein says that candlelit dinner will never make up for communicating your desires to your partner.

Non-sexual, honest conversation can deepen your relationship, too. You can talk to your spouse about sexless subjects, like a dream vacation, you can ask them where they see themselves in 10 years.

Laura Berman mentions social media as another channel of communication. Probably you have access to your spouse’s profiles and passwords. Berman says you should not obsess over this option. When you secretly monitor your spouse’s online life, you display a trust issue, probably self-esteem issues. You would not want to search your partner’s room, right? If you want to know something about your partner, ask them honestly instead of spying on them.

What is menopause?

Menopause is considered to be a milestone in the life of every woman. The entire woman’s life is marked by hormonal changes. It appears that it’s all about one hormone, estrogen. Estrogen is a hormone that makes women feminine. It affects their fertility, secondary sexual characteristics, skin, hair, skeletal system, cardiovascular system etc. The reproductive period of women starts from puberty and the first menstruation and lasts until menopause.

Menopause is the period in which the last menstrual bleeding appears due to reduced ovarian function preceded by a period of irregular cycles (also known as oligomenorrhea) or short menstruation.

Perimenopause is a period that usually lasts between three or five years before the actual menopause occurs. It is characterized by changes in the frequency and intensity of menstrual bleeding. During this period, women also experience insomnia and sweating, but the periods without menstruation don’t exceed more than three months. This period is limited to one year from the last regular menstruation. The time of beginning of menopause depends on the individual. Doctors have found that there is a correlation between the duration of the cycle and the beginning of menopause. If the cycle lasts less than 26 days, the menopause will start a little bit earlier (when the woman is 49 years old), but if the cycle is longer than 33 days, the menopause will start later (52 years). Some other external factors like smoking, regular alcohol consumption can speed up the onset of menopause due to their hypoxic effect on the ovaries.

The symptoms and signs of menopause are numerous. The best known is amenorrhea, the most obvious sign of the reduced function of ovaries. Women can also experience night sweats, hot flashes, arrhythmia, tachycardia, mood swings, vaginal dryness, insomnia, skin damage etc.

Hot flashes are very unpleasant and periodic symptoms. They are described as immediate period of sweating and palpitations, followed by redness of the face, chest and neck and anxiety which occurs under the influence of the rapid rise of adrenaline. They last for a few minutes and can occur dozens of times during one day. Sleep disorders and insomnia, are also the result of estrogen deficiency. They are followed by anxiety, depression, lack of concentration, decreased libido and irritability. In addition, the skin starts to get thinner and the elastic fibers deteriorate. When women are in the so-called reproductive period, a part of the cholesterol is spent in the synthesis of estrogen. Since there is no synthesis during menopause and after this period, cholesterol goes into the bloodstream and begins to be deposited on the walls of blood vessels resulting in atherosclerosis which ultimately leads to an increased incidence of myocardial infarction.

It is important to understand that menopause is a natural change and doesn’t require treatment, but some symptoms can complicate everyday life. For starters, try to practice healthy living habits (stop smoking, exercise, avoid caffeine and alcohol). If this doesn’t result in positive changes, consult your doctor about the introduction of hormone therapy. 

The Rare but Present Loss of Libido

The lack of sex drive is an all too familiar occurrence in women; however, it’s an extremely rare occurrence in men. Surprised? Well, even men suffering from Premature Ejaculation and ED often experience normal and very high sex drive.

But as we age, there are many men who start experiencing a diminishing sexual appetite. Oh, the agony! A very slim margin of men has never experienced any sexual desire, ever!

Thankfully, we are in an age where technology and advancement in medical studies and research, many firms and clinics now claim to have treatments that reverse low libido. Other treatments also help men maintain a hard erection.

The unfortunate bit is, these are institutions that come and go. Why because they charge very high costs of soft erection treatment and services that can be done naturally or attained at very cheap/affordable prices.

What gets Rid of Low Libido?

Some of the best treatments that help men get their libido up are usually aphrodisiacs and testosterone injects/pills/supplements. Kindly note that unlike erectile dysfunction levels, the lack of libido in men is rarer than rare.

Such people achieve very strong erections but have zero desire to engage in sexual activity. A lack of sexual desire comes in two formalities; either psychological or physical.

Physical Causes

Obesity which contributes to a loss of sexual desire. The artificial foods that we eat today not only deteriorate out health but also affects our sexual urges. The best thing to fight it is by changing your diet and switching to a healthy living lifestyle.

Alcoholism is also a major concern. The more you let alcohol dictate your life, the more you let it affect your bodily functions. Moderate drinking is the only way to encounter such problems.

Hard Drugs: Whether you, believe it or not, the use of drugs such as heroin, cocaine and prescription meds, can cause you to lose your sexual desires.

Medical conditions such as anemia, where you bleed or have lower blood content in your body. Hyperprolactinaemia an extremely rare disorder that sees the pituitary gland produces excess prolactin hormone, and you lose the sexual desire. 

Psychological Causes

Depression is a common element for most diseases human being suffer from. Depression leads to loss of sexual desire and can even cause erectile dysfunction. Psychology, drugs to beat depression is a perfect way to eradicate this problem.

Serious relationship problems: When you have serious troubles in your relationship, you’ll suffer from a lack of sexual desire. The only way to circumvent such an atrocity is to mending the relationship and getting back to the happiness level and where you want your partner.

The Never Putting a Ring on IT Dilemma

Yes, I too have brushed with a couple of women, who are on the verge of a meltdown since their long-term boyfriends seem not having any interest in marrying them.

There is one interesting conversation I have the other day with a good friend of mine. She was crying that she has been in a relationship with her boyfriend for well over four years and never want to discuss marriage.

She turned to me and asked me an honest question; “Are all men liars?” Why Did I ask? “Every guy I have dated end up lying and lying more to me” she quipped!

•                    As happily married as we seem to be, I am unable to get my husband to try to get me into bed

•                    My man seems to have a phobia of wanting sex with me

•                    My man always comes up with an excuse that he was to fast in the sack due to pressure from work or something else flimsy

As you can tell, the string of comments is endless and could take up quite a lot of space here. When I believed, I had enough punter from my lady friends.

I decided to have a seat down with some of my good friends (a doctor and psychiatrist), to try and understand why men of all species were the ones shying away from the sexual activity!

Having To Deal With Maintaining Hard Erection

Lack of Libido and Fatigue in Men: Discover How to Treat

Often the lack of sexual desire in men is the actual problem of erectile dysfunction. However, the fact that a patient having difficulty in achieving an erection does not necessarily mean that he has low sex drive. But often the difficulty in having an erection can trigger problems of self-esteem, depression and, consequently, loss of libido.

The percentage of men with erectile dysfunction in Australia, according to surveys, has only increase and shows that about 10% of the population has this symptom. In Europe, this percentage grows to 30%, and in Australia it is estimated that there are 40 million people in sexless marriages (who have sex less than 10 times a year). The causes of this increase are mainly due to an aging population and stressful lifestyle that people live. We can cite number of risk factors very serious for men: high blood pressure, diabetes, atherosclerosis and obesity.

Depression, heritable genetic damage, kidney and liver failure, thyroid disorders and pituitary are also part of diseases with decreased libido.

We can say that basically what causes a lack of libido in man is first hormonal imbalance (or andropause / androgen disorder of male aging) and can be associated with partial or even complete loss of sexual desire, together with the loss of the connected thoughts sex and erectile dysfunction.

8 Major Causes of Lack of Sexual Desire in Men

Men are known as a masculine gender and believed to have libido always ready to be activated with the lowest stimulus. However, like many women, the lack of male desire is also frequent. In fact, this is a less common problem in men, because usually what happens to most is the erectile dysfunction when there is excitement but the erection is not completed satisfactorily. However, rare cases and some exceptions lead to a lack of male sexual desire as physical and other psychological causes.

Many men who perceive a lack of sexual desire do not seek medical help nor open with their partner and this can cause problems in couple's relationship. Usually by shame and concern about his real manhood, men avoid resolving the issue; believing it to be just a small blip which in reality, if left untreated will get worse. Follow below are the 8 major causes of the lack of sexual desire in men.

1. Andropause

The andropause or androgen disorder of male aging may be one of the causes that explain the lack of male desire. It occurs between 40 and 55 years when men start to feel differently with symptoms similar to menopause in women (except the interruption of menstruation, of course). During this period there is a low level of testosterone in the body, thus reducing the production of spermatozoa and generally reducing the sexual appetite.

2. Reduction of testosterone

Other problems besides the andropause, reduction of testosterone level in the body can lead to lack of sexual desire in men. This condition might have a direct correlation with the intake of some medicines. If this abnormal reduction is detected by the doctor, you can easily resolve the issue with the consumption of prescription drugs via oral for replacement of hormones, skin patches or intramuscular injection.

3. Alcohol and other drugs

Excessive alcohol consumption and the constant intake of the drink, especially when it leads to alcoholism, can cause a lack of sexual desire in men. The same applies to the consumption of some powerful drugs, such as cocaine. This consumption of legal and illegal drugs can affect both the user's mind as your body, inhibiting a latent desire. In some men, the effect may be the opposite and lead to an exaggerated excitement, but this varies from person to person.

4. Hyperthyroidism

Hyperthyroidism is directly linked to the production of thyroid hormones. This impairment causes the pituitary gland produces excess hormone prolactin altering sexual desire for low levels.

5. Obesity

Not only women care about their appearance, men also like to be fit to perform their sexual functions satisfactorily and expect to give an agile and masculine performance in bed. In the case of men who get too fat, this performance in bed can be compromised by slow movement and generate a lack of sexual desire. The problem can be solved by weight loss.

6. Drugs

Some medications prescribed by the doctor such as tranquilizers, antidepressants and even finasteride (a medication used to regulate some prostate problems) can lead to consequences and side effects such as lack of male desire. Once the medication is stopped, sexual appetite should return to the natural state.

7. Diabetes

Diabetes is one of the strong causes of lack of desire for sex in men. This is the lack of willingness and energy to develop activities on a daily basis, including continuing sex life, and many end up leaving aside the practice.

8. Depression

Men and women suffer depression constantly; this is not news to anyone. Depression may be related to thousands of subjective factors of the individual. Most men, when affected by depression, assumes its own state and therefore it is very important that the partner, friends or family members understand the problem, nurture him and accompany him to a psychologist for a quick treatment for sexual dysfunction and resolution.

A Few Less Known Facts About Penis

Immortalized on numerous monuments, statues and graffiti on walls around the world, the penis is probably the best known and most researched body part on the planet. Despite that, many people don’t know some basic facts about the penis. These less known facts will help you understand your penis or the penis of your partner and improve your sex life.

Penis average size

According to a study conducted two years ago which involved more than 1500 men, the average length of an erect penis is 14 cm. The range of all participants in this study published in reputable scientific magazines is between 4 and 26 cm. It is good to point out that not all of the erections lead to identical results. Those whose penises were measured after oral sex had larger penises compared to those who relied on the fantasy and masturbation.

Does size matter?

When it comes to penis size, size matters, but only for a certain number of women. According to a survey from 2012, women that experience vaginal orgasms more frequently say that it is much easier for them to achieve orgasm with men who have longer penis. Although it is not entirely clear why, longer penis may be more suitable to stimulate the vagina and cervix. Another study showed that women determine the ideal size of the penis in relation to the height of men which means that bigger penises were more suitable for taller men. Some women would think that stronger and harder erection is more important during intercourse.

Odd anomalies

In very rare cases, men can be born with two penises which is a condition that affects one in 6 million men. This condition is known as difalus. Unfortunately, this situation does not bring double fun because in extremely rare cases both organs are fully functional and this condition is often associated with other anomalies in the genital area requiring surgical corrections.

Men who suffer from another disorder related to the penis – priapism – have a constant erection which sometimes lasts longer than four hours. In most cases the main cause can be found in the inability of the blood in the penis to get back into the rest of the body. This situation usually requires emergency medical treatment that involves injection of pseudoepinephrine in order to activate the smooth muscles found in the penis.

The history of penis

The history of penis is actually a little bit scarier than the human past defined by evolution. At one stage of evolution, the male penis had spikes, but these structures have disappeared before the appearance of the Neanderthals while the penis as we know it today formed about 700.000 years ago.

Scientists today are not entirely sure what was the role of the aforementioned spikes and some of them believe that they were responsible for accelerating of the occurrence of erection and that they were more common in promiscuous species like cats. Another relic of the past is the bone in the penis. Although most of the monkeys have a bone that supports the erections, people at some point lost this bone and the erection relies solely on blood pressure. In other animals, the bone in the penis is inside the body and is expelled out for immediate and reliable erections. It is still unknown why men lost this feature.

Erectile dysfunction and women

There are many commercials about erectile dysfunction and remedies that can help men in this situation. In these commercials, this unpleasant problem is often presented very simply – a man has a problem down there and then he takes a pill and the next thing that happens is the entering of hs beautiful partner and it seems like all the necessary preconditions for passionate sex are met. But, is this something that really happens in reality?

It is a well-known fact that erectile dysfunction affects not only the person to whom it happens (the man), but it is indirectly affecting the life of women too. Women are prone to internalization. In other words, they often blame themselves for the erectile problems of their partner. Women will sometimes think that they have done something wrong or that they are simply not attractive to their partner any more. In fact, the first thing that most women think about when their partner cannot achieve or maintain proper erection is that this is their fault and this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Erectile dysfunction is medically defined as an inability to achieve or maintain an erection long enough to get engaged in sexual intercourse. Literally every man, at certain moments and periods of life, can experience problems with erection. They can be caused by depression, stress and in some cases it is not possible to determine the exact cause. For some men, this problem is a problem of chronic nature.

Despite the fact that today information about erectile dysfunction are more accessible than ever before, the vast majority of women – and a similar percentage of men – view the problems of potency only as a purely sexual problem, even though the causes in the majority of cases are undiagnosed health conditions like high cholesterol, hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes or even some early stages of heart diseases. Australian do workout a lot but is our food healthy? Furthermore, erectile dysfunction can occur as a result of taking certain medications especially those used in cases of high blood pressure.

Unfortunately, experts believe that the lack of education about this problem is often the basis of female self-blame for the problems with the potency of their partner and this problem is often accompanied by the feeling of anxiety, guilt and even anger.

According to many sexologists, there is a certain number of women who suspect that their partner is having an affair or that they are no longer attractive to their partner, so they start their own investigations about which of these two options are more realistic.

Another thing that makes women make this kind of mistakes is the situation in which they are faced with the erectile dysfunction problem in their partner and because of their wrong perception of the causes they tend to withdraw and become passive. This is a good recipe for ruining the relationship. When some of the partners withdraw, this leads to a breakdown in communication and this is something that can have disastrous consequences for the relationship.

Men who have a problem with erectile dysfunction need support and appropriate education because both partners, as well as understanding of this problem, can contribute to the engagement of all resources needed for positive outcome.
