Things are getting hot and heavy, and one or both partners give
themselves over, wholly, to the moment. It can be difficult to think clearly
when in the throes of passion, but it’s wise not to shut the brain off
altogether. Safe lovemaking means more than wearing protection; it means
avoiding injuries that may occur during the act in both the interest of male organ health and a man’s ability to go for round
two later on. Below are three lovemaking injuries that may befall a man, as
well as ways to avoid them.
Male
Organ Fracture
This is just about the most serious
injury that can occur from lovemaking. Though it’s not common, the severity of
it makes it well worth learning about and preventing.
The male organ doesn’t fracture like
other parts of the body, since there are no bones in the boner. However, there
are two chambers called the corpora cavernosa that engorge with blood when a
man is firm. It is possible for one or both chambers to rupture, causing the
blood to escape.
Male organ fractures call for immediate
medical attention and generally require surgery to repair. They’re also
immensely painful. A man will notice, along with excruciating pain, a popping
sound and immediate bruising if he acquires a male organ fracture.
Manhood fracturing is most likely to
occur when a woman is on top if she comes down hard at the wrong angle. Men
shouldn’t take this to mean that this position is off limits. The female
partner just needs to be mindful, particularly when inserting or re-inserting
the male organ.
Stuck
Object
Many men enjoy posterior play, and
there’s nothing wrong with that – when it’s done right. The Consumer Product Safety
Commission reports that 58% of all sensual toy-related injuries requiring an
emergency room visit were incurred by men. Also, 83% of all documented injuries
were attributed to “foreign objects” lodged inside the individual’s body.
Finally, 78% of injuries involved the rear end.
Assuming that no man wants to go to the
hospital to have an object removed from his derriere (and no woman would,
either), it’s best to avoid the situation. That doesn’t mean that posterior
penetration is out of the question, though. Guys should make sure to use plenty
of lubrication whenever approaching posterior play, and not to jump right into
the experience with the largest, thickest toy they can find. A man can
gradually work his way up in size.
Chafing
Perhaps the most common negative
consequence of lovemaking for men is manhood dryness, chafing and soreness
caused by friction. His skin may crack and bleed or simply hurt; this may
prolong the time in between his current romp and the next. Also, skin tears
make a man more susceptible to manhood infections, since fungus and bacteria
have more places to set up shop in that situation.
While very rough or prolonged sessions
are bound to lead to some soreness, there are some things a guy can do to
reduce manhood chafing. Perhaps most obviously, he should ensure that the
activity is adequately lubricated. Having lube around is certainly handy even
if a man’s female partner produces plenty of natural lubrication; that’s
because, during a long session, her stores may diminish. Take a break now and
then to do a lube check, and spend some manual/oral time to help her replenish
her stock or use a product to finish out with.
Another thing men can do to limit their
skin’s susceptibility to chafing is to use a moisturizer on their male organ after
showering. A male organ health
crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) with a combination of moisturizers,
like Shea butter and vitamin E, can both hydrate the skin and keep that
moisture locked in. Skin that is in good condition going into the act is more
likely to resist the assault of friction.
