An
accidental knee to the nuts, a poorly-timed thrust between the sheets, or a
ground ball to the private area – all of these can lead to serious pain in the
junk. A throbbing member is always a dreadful experience, but it can only add
insult to injury if it is caused by something the man himself is doing wrong.
Men should be alert to these five common mistakes they could be making that
lead to a sore manhood and even affect their long-term male
organ health. Some hints for soothing the soreness and avoiding it
in the future are also provided below.
1)
Skipping the rubber. Every guy who has reached maturity has
had it drilled into his head that a rubber is an absolute necessity. Wearing a
raincoat isn’t just for preventing pregnancy and partner-transmitted diseases,
though. It also provides a layer of protection between the male organ and the
entrance of choice, reducing the amount of friction on the skin. On the other
hand, warming agents, flavors and other substances that sometimes coat rubbers
can themselves cause soreness, so men should read package labels carefully
before making a purchase.
2)
Choosing the wrong bicycle seat. Cycling has become increasingly popular,
both as a sport and as a form of transportation; but men who don’t know what
they are doing when choosing their equipment can be in for a whole lot of pain
down the road. When seated on a conventional bicycle seat, men are placing a
tremendous amount of pressure on the private area; the compression can impact
the circulatory tissue supplying the male organ. After (or during) a long ride,
men may experience pain and/or a pins-and-needles sensation, as the area is
deprived of oxygen due to the reduction of blood flow. Opting for a specially
designed seat with a cutout that is intended to support the buttocks while
leaving the balls and perianal area free can help to eliminate this issue.
3)
Applying the death grip. A furtive solo session here and there
may provide a huge amount of enjoyment and relief, but grabbing onto the tool
and yanking away can lead to enormous soreness after the fact, even if it feels
great in the moment. Men should make a conscious effort to ease up on the grip
– a too-tight hold can not only cause immediate pain that may last for hours,
but it can actually lead to desensitization of the male tissue that may impair
the ability to experience pleasure down the road.
4)
Omitting the lube. Some men prefer dry, rough play or
self-stimulation, but during an enthusiastic encounter, the skin is exposed to
a high level of friction. Guys might not notice the pain until afterward, but
the damage may already be done. Sore, chafed male skin repairs itself by
forming a thicker layer of keratinized tissue, which can block pleasurable
sensations and diminish the sensual experience.
5)
Neglecting to use a cup. An athletic cup may feel bulky, sweaty
and uncomfortable, but the slight annoyance they cause is overshadowed by the
potential for pain if a man takes a football, baseball or fellow player’s foot
to the private area. An injury like this can also cause scarring of the male
tissue, as noted earlier, so skipping the support really isn’t worth it.
Relief
for a Sore Manhood
Regardless
of the cause of throbbing in the member, the first order of business is to put
a stop to it. When a blunt-force injury has occurred, applying a cool compress
can help reduce any swelling and relieve the discomfort. If swelling or
bruising is present, the next step should be a call to a doctor – even if the
injury seems only minor, deep bruising of the male tissue can cause scarring,
which can interfere with reproductive function.
On
the other hand, most friction injuries can be dealt with at home, except in
cases where the skin is torn and/or bleeding. Again, a cool compress can be
used. For immediate relief of friction-related soreness, a quality male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) is a good option. Products containing a
high-end emollient such as Shea butter (a plant-based oil that has been used
for centuries for treating sore, irritated skin) can soothe skin on contact,
while skin-friendly nutrients like vitamin C go to work to repair damaged cells
and restore their original elasticity. A crème like this can also be used on a
daily basis to support overall male health.
