Numbers, numbers, numbers

Many researches have been held to determine what PDE5 inhibitors are preferred by men. Of course, it is not easy to compare the effect of such E.D. drugs as Viagra and Cialis based on different studies because researches have used various criteria and selected particular groups of patients. Still numbers can speak for popularity of this or other medication.
A research made by Stroberg P. in 2003 showed that 9 out of 10 patients who started with Viagra then replaced it with Cialis. Two years later Eardly I. carried out another experiment. It turned out that 71 % of men preferred Cialis to Viagra. Lee examined what PDE5 inhibitors were preferred by sexual partners in 2006. About 2600 men with erectile dysfunction participated in this study. The results were much alike with the previous researches: 71 % of patients started with Viagra and then switched to Cialis, and 29 % of patients switched from Cialis to Viagra.

Reasons to Choose

No matter what PDE5 inhibitor was chosen by patients with E.D., the main reasons for preferring one medication to another were similar.
Men who chose Cialis enjoyed the duration of this drug action (about 45 % of patients). Other reasons for choosing Cialis included improved erections (34-37 %), easiness to use (7 %) and the best tolerance (8-9 %).
Men who chose Viagra enjoyed it because this drug gave them better erections (64 % of cases). Other reasons for choosing Viagra included better tolerance (16-17 %), duration (6 %), easiness to use (2-6 %), drug affordance (2-4 %). Some patients (2 %) enjoyed Viagra because it was released earlier than Cialis.

Your Choice

Viagra hit the market in 1998. Six years later its sales amounted to just $ 1.4 billion. Sales of pain and epilepsy were far more! However drugmakers weren’t stopped by this fact and got onto the market with Levitra and then Cialis.
It’s difficult to tell what PDE-5 inhibitor is better. It’s up to your own preferences. Both drugs (Viagra and Cialis) are approved by FDA and highly effective. So find the best alternative for yourself and prove you are a lion in bed!

There are so many opinions concerning marijuana influence on sex drive and men’s impotence. Some people assure that cannabis is a dangerous drug that can badly affect your sex life both physically and mentally. Others are convinced that smoking marijuana doesn’t have any severe consequences or side effects.

Where is the truth? Does this drug really cause erectile dysfunction? How can you save your healthy sex life? Is there any useful advice for heavy marijuana users? Let’s find this out.

Facts

Researches have shown that marijuana can damage your sperm. According to the report made by Buffalo University scientists, men who smoke weed have much less seminal fluid than those who don’t use drugs.

Researchers suggest that marijuana is doing something to sperm that have a lower count and swim way too fast burning out before reaching the egg. It is known that marijuana contains different chemicals that can affect human physiology. This drug has an impact on tetrahydrocannabinol or THC that can disrupt the way sperm goes.

Men’s sperm has receptors which can be stimulated by THC. Tests have revealed that sperm influenced by smoking marijuana swims in a strange fashion. It is less able to attach to the egg.

More than 20 men who had used cannabis twice a day for at least 5 years in a row participated in the research. Their sperm samples were tested. It turned out that the sperm swam too fast too soon. And this reduced the chances of sperm reaching the testicles.

A permanent use of marijuana can burnout your sperm before it reaches the egg. As the result men’s capability of fertilization might be impossible.

Real Stories

In reality there are many men who have become fathers even though they have been smoking marijuana for a long period of time. Aaron (42 years old) says, “I enjoy ganja. It has helped me to relax after my hard working days for more than 15 years. I feel great today. I have fathered a child. I don’t have any serious illnesses”.

Of course, Aaron’s story doesn’t happen to every other man.

“I stopped smoking weed because I faced some severe side effects. It affected my lungs, I kept coughing all the time and didn’t enjoy sex until my best friend suggested I should quit. I also know that pot and other cannabis-related drugs can compromise your ability to remember things, focus and shift attention”, Joe (25 years old) says. “Even a small dose of marijuana can impair your ability to recall words you have read 20 minutes earlier”.

In Joe’s case there wasn’t any erectile dysfunction case. His love to sex returned as soon as he quitted smoking pot. As you see marijuana’s affect on sex performance can vary.

Advice

It is unclear whether fertility can recover after you stop taking cannabis. THC can store in human fat for a long period, so if your sex motivation disappears it might never go back to normal.

Scientists and doctors advise men not to smoke pot. The same advice concerns women because marijuana can affect many systems in the body leading to horrible consequences.

Usually erectile dysfunction happens to heavy cannabis users. Women can experience irregular periods when they smoke marijuana too often. At the same time pot smokers can suffer from dismotivation, ED episodes, absence of sex drive, hormonal changes, aggressiveness and other psyche and body side effects.

Men who like smoking pot might be sexually active, but in bed they can experience fearfulness and anxiety. Marijuana can impair your coordination the way alcohol does. If you don’t want to look “stupid” in front of your woman, don’t smoke weed. Keep in mind that sex requires a lot of coordination and clear mind.

Maybe cannabis won’t influence your sexual relations much. If so, you are a lucky smoker! But what if it does? What if marijuana ruins your sexual life? What if it does affect your reproductive health? Will you continue smoking pot or will you find other ways to relax? It’s all up to your own risk and wisdom!

A condition, when ejaculation takes place directly before the coitus is called premature ejaculation. There is no more exact definition for this term. A lot of sexologists try to connect this dysfunction with the longevity of coitus, the amount of frictions and even with partner’s orgasm; no one is still able to give a precise definition.

Who suffers from premature ejaculation? Most of all, these are teenagers, who just start their sexual life. It deals with overstimulation and high sensibility of sexual member. It passes with getting more sexual experience, and only in very few cases it is impossible to get rid of it.

It is very rare, that mature men suffer from such dysfunction, it can be kept from the youth or obtained in the adulthood and it is often caused by a variety of reasons. All of them can be divided into two groups: physical (connected with health problems) and psychological. Talking about physical problems, they can also be divided into two groups. These are high sensibility of sexual member and chronicle vesiculitis. Let’s speak more detailed about it.

High sensibility of sexual member is one of the most common reasons of premature ejaculation. It can be innate as well as acquired. Acquired appears due to phemosis, but it is not widely spread among men. Both, innate and acquired have several features:
the longevity of the coitus is always the same and does not vary,
premature ejaculation accompanies man for the whole period of sexual life very often, coitus is longer, when using a condom.

The most effective way to get rid off this drawback is circumcision. During such kind of operation foreskin is being moved off, after it pommel is always in contact with the underwear, which decreases its sensibility. It helps to prolong the coitus. There are also another ways, such as using different special lubrications or putting on several condoms at once. It also helps to make the coitus much longer.

Erectile dysfunction is also a widely spread problem among men. Some people mistakenly call it impotence. But this is wrong. It is a problem connected with erection, which can be occasional as well as periodical. Sclerosis, high blood – pressure and diabetes are the main reasons, which call this disease. However, young men, who do not have any problems with health can suffer from problems in sexual field. It can be caused by smoking, drinking alcohol, lack of activity and poor ecology. But the most dangerous enemy is hidden in their mind. It is psychological waiting of “misfire”.

A healthy person can keep a good sexual shape till old age, but it is clear that opportunities of a pensioner differ from student’s skills. Old people need longer stimulation in order to achieve high results. But every man knows the taste of fiasco. And if such kind of defeat becomes common, it would be enough just to consult the doctor. If after visiting the doctor you will have several unpleasant situations during a month, we can say about erectile dysfunction. In this case, it is vital to find out the main reason of the problem, so that one could pick up the right treatment. For example, if it is due to hormone malfunctions, it is necessary to take medicine, which strengthen potency, or drugs, which block producing of enzymes. In other cases, patient is recommended to make an injection of a remedy, which widens vessels. Though it is a very effective method, not every man has courage to make an injection in a proper part of his body every time before the coitus.

Another way out is Viagra. In the majority of cases, it keeps men in “alert” for the long period of time. It is prescribed by the doctor, taking into consideration contra – indications. If it is not possible for a man to take this medicine, the problem can be solved by means of prosthesis.

There are no scientific researches done that support penis enlargement methods. Everything you read or watch can damage your penis. Even a non-surgical method might lead to erectile dysfunction. You don’t want to become an impotent, do you? Thus you must think twice before you decide to give it a try.

Normal Penis Sizes

Many men fear that their penis is way too small to satisfy a woman. This fear is common. However many studies prove that most men who believe their penis is small have a normal-sized penis.

Medicine measures average flaccid penis as 3-4 inches and 5-7 inches when it’s erect. Medics say that penis is small when it’s less than 3 inches in erect condition (micropenis). But even in this situation it is possible to have children and satisfy your partner during sexual intercourse.

Partner’s Point of View

If you listen to commercials you will eventually believe that all partners care about penis sizes.

Still many women don’t concentrate on penis size. They say it is not very important. More of it, if your penis is too large it can cause discomfort or pain. During sexual intercourse, the tip of your penis can hit woman’s cervix. It’s not a pleasure for woman, thus long penis can be a disadvantage.

Advertisements make people think that gay men like women are also obsessed with penis size. In reality it’s all just a matter of personal preferences for both partners.

If your partner is ok with your penis size, don’t make problems yourself. Only if your partner dreams and desires you to enlarge your penis size, you might consider changing it.

Not Approved by FDA

Marketers promote different non-surgical methods of penis enlargement with serious commercials. But their “scientific researchers” are often not real. Give it a closer look and you will notice that promised effectiveness or safety of penis enlargement is not proven. Testimonials or Photoshop photos don’t prove anything.
If you read the bottom lines of most non-surgical penis enlargement advertisements you will be surprised. These methods have not been evaluated and approved by FDA – Food and Drug Administration.

Dangerous Side Effects

Many of penis enlargement treatments are not effective. In fact, they can damage your health. Even exercises and lotions can cause impotence.

Jelqing that is advertised everywhere can form scars on your penis, cause pain or disfigurement. No scientific researches have been made to indicate that manual squeezing exercises can really increase your penis size.

The same thing may be said about stretching with weights. If a man wears weights on his flaccid penis he can damage himself.

Erectile dysfunction is often treated with vacuum pumps. But if you use penis pump for a longer time or more often than your doctor advises you can damage your penis and lead to less firm erections. You might get an illusion of a larger penis. But this result is not permanent.

Advertised tablets and lotions can also be harmful. Most of them have vitamins, hormones, natural products and minerals that are promised to enlarge your penis. Still nobody has proven that pills and lotions work.
Surgical Enlargement Techniques

Surgeons always try to develop new techniques to satisfy their patients. This includes penis enlargement methods that have not been certified by medical organizations. More of it, many organizations including the American Urological Association, the Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and others are against cosmetic surgeries that claim to make your penis larger.

There are several experimental methods that can lengthen your penis. They weren’t studied long enough to make sure that risks are minimal and results are permanent and not complicated.

One experimental procedure moves skin from abdomen to penile shaft. Surgeons cut the suspensory ligament and this helps penis to look longer. Such surgery can lead to unstable penile erections and weird positions of penis when it’s erect.

Another procedure involves moving skin from pubic area to penis. Side effects from this surgery can include hair growth on penis, scars and other damages.

Some surgeons suction fat from men’s body and inject it into penis.

All these techniques are not proven to be safe and effective. Going through such a surgery you might get infected, bleed; lose the sensation in the skin or become an impotent.
Risks of Surgeries

Most men who have undergone penis enlargement surgeries are not satisfied with the results. It’s important to understand that every surgery can add about 1 inch to the length of your flaccid penis. It won’t make erect penis any larger. Sometimes a surgery can even reduce the size of your penis.

When You Should Consider a Surgery

Cases when you really need to enlarge your penis are rare. Mostly such operation is done for those whose penises don’t function normally as a result of a severe injury or birth defect. Still surgeries are generally not necessary for men and can do harm.
Help Yourself to Make a Decision
Maybe you can’t enlarge your penis in a surgical or non-surgical way. There are other tips that might help you to realize that penis size is not important for you or your partner. Keep in mind that surgeries and other penis enlargement methods can’t be safe or effective.
So it’s better for you to first talk to your partner. Such a dialogue may be difficult for both of you, but you must understand sexual preferences for yourself and your partner.
You can also try to get in shape. Try to exercise in a gym. You will look better and get more strength to satisfy your partner in bed.
Maybe you just need to lose belly. When man’s lower abdomen is hanging over his genitalia his penis looks smaller than it really is.
Another way to make your penis look bigger is trimming your pubic hair. Give it a try and you can make the base of your penis more sensitive.
If you are unhappy about your penis size you can try to consult your doctor. A conversation with a counselor, psychologist or psychiatrist can also help. Most men are normal but they don’t feel this way. A discussion with a professional can help you to realize that everything is ok with you! Maybe such a conversation will give you a good advice about how to satisfy your partner without a penis enlargement surgery.

Think Twice

Some men believe that if they increase their penis size they will become a better lover. They think that a large penis can attract more women or gay men to them. Still most men who are sure that their penis is small have an average size. Even if your penis is really small and you want to undergo a surgery don’t hurry with a decision. There are other options that you must take a look at. Some of them are not very expensive or dangerous. The best but not easiest way for you is to carry an open conversation with your partner or doctor.

Erection mechanism seems to be an elementary process. It is determined by the smallest amounts of integrated anatomy-physiological structures and the predominance of peripheral locations that preserve a considerable part of autonomy (spinal, para spinal and vegetative knots and interlacements). The considerable stability of erections is conditioned by their protection from damaging factors of organic nature. This process is determined by the most ancient phylogenies structures. This is the reason why from all displays of men’s sexuality erections are formed and revealed the first – long time before a libido, ejaculations and orgasms. Erections are already observed in boys in pectoral age. At the same time erections are rather sensitive to all kinds of mental damaging processes. Erections are under the control of highest cerebral mechanisms, for example, they are controlled by negative emotions.

Often erections are shown like a phallic cult in myths and fetishism of many peoples. It’s like a symbol of men’s courage and dignity. Erection is a reflex vascular act. The main mechanism of erection is explained by arterial blood influx strengthening. The deceleration of blood outflow in veins plays an auxiliary role in erection process. The vein affect becomes stronger with mechanical rise of the penis. In most cases penis firm is influenced by physical irritants (visible, acoustic, sensual and touchable) that enter the cortex and stimulate the sexual centers of brains, exciting the erection center in the spinal cord. Erection can appear when the head of penis is irritated in a mechanical way, under the influence of sexual fantasies that cause sexual stimulation in men.

From the physiology point of view, the mechanism of penis erection is studied well. It is presented as a complicated chain of neuro-humoral processes that can be divided into three parts: 1) expansion of arterial channel; 2) relaxation of involuntary muscles in the corpora cavernosa; 3) block of venous blood outflow. These all results in blood filling the corpora cavernosa. The outflow process ‘freezes’ and penis enlarges and becomes hard.

Penile erection plays an important role in sexual activity. When penis is in its common condition it cannot enter the vagina. Only in resilient and hard form it enters a woman’s vagina. Erection is a conditioned reflex in the beginning of sexual life. With time its instinctive character is developed by a wide range of possibilities according to self-reflex mechanism. Various pictures of women, memories, visible, acoustic and emotional impressions influence men’s mental sexual center and are followed by a penile erection. Sexual life assists sexual stimulation and men’s eagerness to have sex. In the future penis tension is supported by mechanical exciters. A head and skin of penis receive these exciters during the sexual activity.
