Proper Member Protection Requires Rubber Use
The rubber has a long history as a means
of birth control, as well as a good way to provide member protection from
social diseases, and so is a basic component of good male organ health. Certainly, there
are other options available for birth control, but they may not provide much in
the way of member protection – so using a rubber is essential for men who are
sensually active, especially in a non-monogamous situation.
Yet,
despite the fact that rubbers are so important to male organ health, the
statistics tell us that men do not use them as often as they should. One study
found that only 35% of men surveyed used a rubber during their last casual
encounter. The Centers for Disease Control and Preventions state that only 19%
of men always use a rubber – however, since those figures include men in
monogamous relationships, it’s hard to determine the percentage of use among
men in non-monogamous situations, who are more likely to need member protection
from social diseases.
Why?
Since
member protection and rubber use are closely linked, why is it that many men
often do not make use of this form of protection? There are many reasons,
including:
- Unavailability. Sometimes a man becomes
involved in a sensual encounter that is entirely unplanned – and therefore
neither he nor his partner may have immediate access to a rubber. Of course, in
many (though not all) situations, there is the option to go out and buy a
rubber; however, most couples don’t want to spoil the mood to do this and so
will opt not to. This is one reason why many men carry a rubber with them in
their wallets, as an emergency back-up. However, this, too, can present
problems. Rubbers come with a shelf life, and sometimes those stored in a
wallet for years have a higher risk of breaking during use.
- Difficulty
in putting on. Some
men find it difficult to put a rubber on properly, or find that it takes longer
than they want it to. This can cause embarrassment and anxiety, which can in
turn create a situation in which he may find it difficult to maintain his
tumescence – and that can cause further embarrassment and anxiety. Past
experiences like this can make it less likely a man will employ a rubber.
- Interference
with sensitivity. Some men find that rubbers, though they are made of very
thin material, may diminish the pleasurable sensations their members experience
during sensual activity.
- Improper
fit. This
is a very frequent complaint. While some guys find the rubber too tight, it
more often is too long and/or loose. One recent survey found that 83% of US men
had member lengths that are shorter than the average rubber (which has
typically measured at least 6.69 inches). This survey found the average
member length to be 5.57 inches; a more expansive earlier global survey pegs
the figure at 5.17 inches. In either case, the rubbers are substantially longer
than the average manhood, making them looser and more likely to fall off or
cause discomfort.
Whatever
the reason for non-use, men need to make a greater effort to use a rubber,
especially for member protection in instances in which there is even a slight
possibility of social disease transmission.
In
addition to using a rubber, men can help enhance everyday member protection by
enhancing manhood health. Regular use of a superior male organ health
crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is
clinically proven mild and safe for skin) can keep member skin healthy
and resistant to dermatological issues. A crème with both a high-end emollient
(such as Shea butter) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin E) helps keep the
skin from drying out and cracking. And a crème with alpha lipoic acid, a potent
antixodiant, can battle free radicals that can cause damaging oxidative stress
to the delicate manhood skin.
