Older Guys Need Male Organ Protection, Too
by John Dugan OwnerTraditionally, the risk of social diseases has been more of a
young man’s problem. Sometimes younger guys may not be as knowledgeable about
social diseases or about proper male organ protection. At other times, when
young bodies are full of raging hormones, a young guy may throw caution to the
wind and engage in unprotected sensual activity, even knowing the risks
involved. But sensually related male organ health issues are actually becoming
an increasing problem among older men as well.
Some statistics
Although HIV (thankfully) continues to be on the decline, the rate
for social diseases in general has been rising among the general population in
the United States and in many other countries. In 2017, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention saw an increase of 200,000 in cases of 3 major social
diseases among the general population, a rise of almost 10 percent. But a
second study found that the rise in common social diseases among people 60
years of age or older hit an alarming 23 percent. (Data from the United Kingdom
showed a similar increase, by the way.)
It’s not just the elderly that are affected; social diseases are
on the rise among middle-aged men, as well.
Exactly why this is occurring is unknown, but there are several
guesses. One is that the availability of oral medications that can help a man
overcome tumescence dysfunction has led to increased sensual activity among
middle-aged and older men. But many men who get “back in the saddle” after such
a long time often have the attitude of “I haven’t used latex protection in
years. Why start now?” Or they may not be as up to date about the need for male
organ protection as some of their younger counterparts. And some men who
continue to struggle with some tumescence issues may eschew latex protection,
as it may add to the problem with maintaining tumescence.
Male organ protection is key
Whatever the reasons, middle-aged and older men need to be aware
that male organ protection is necessary no matter what the age. Guys who are
getting back into the game should really consult with their doctors to find out
about all the latest advances, including pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to
help prevent HIV. Using latex protection continues to be the best way to help
prevent the spread of social diseases, especially since PrEP is effective
against HIV but not against other diseases.
But simply using latex protection and being on PrEP isn’t where
male organ protection ends among sensually active older men. Learning to be
open with their partners about their sensual health – and encouraging their
partners to be equally open with them – is crucial. Talking about sensual
health tends to be more difficult for older people; being sensually candid is
much more acceptable among youth.
Equally important is for men to be sure they are tested regularly
if they are in a non-monogamous relationship – even if it is only their partner
who has other sensual partners. Most experts recommend testing every 3 months
as a way to ensure early and proper identification of any social diseases. The
sooner a social disease is diagnosed, the sooner effective treatment can begin.
Older men know that social disease avoidance is only part of male
organ protection and that overall male organ health must also be tended to. One
way to help in this area is via the daily use of a superior male organ health
oil (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically
proven mild and safe for skin). It pays to select an oil that includes
vitamin C among its ingredients. Vitamin C is a key component of collagen, a
tissue in the body that gives skin its tone and elasticity. Vitamin C is also
necessary for proper blood flow, which is essential for maintaining tumescence
function. The oil should also include L-arginine, an amino acid that works to
provide nutrients and oxygen for healthy cell function.
