Shaving pubic hair is a practice that has been adapted among many cultures. Pubic shaving is considered a necessity by some in order to keep good hygiene. In other cultures, genital shaving is also considered a way to attract the opposite sex. Considering the best method and what to prevent when shaving your pubic hair will help you to have the best results for keeping good hygiene and remaining attractive towards your partner. There are a variety of tools that can be used in order to shave pubic hair. The first way is to use a hand held shaver. If you decide to use this, you will need to make sure that you shave your pubic hair every few days, because of how close it gets to the skin. You can also consider a straight razor, safety razor, or electric razor. All of these are considered safe and effective when shaving pubic hair. It is known that the best way to shave the penis area is to use an electric razor, as this will provide more control and prevent cuts. There are also shavers made with special razors for shaving the genital area. Pubic shaving can be done in a variety of areas to help with a cleaner look. The pubic mound, penis and scrotum are the three main areas that are focused on. When shaving the pubic mound, you will want to make sure that you are shaving in the same direction that the pubic hairs are growing. If you don’t, it will cause irritation. Shaving the penis also has this same rule that applies to it. It is also known that pulling the penis upwards will help with a better and closer shave. When you are shaving the scrotum, you will want to make sure that you first stretch and flatten the skin. One of the important things to remember is that all three of these areas is sensitive, meaning you should not apply too much pressure when shaving. Before you begin shaving any of these areas, you will want to trim down longer hairs. This will make the process easier and will allow you to get a closer cut to the skin. You will also want to make sure that your pubic hair is wet or has a shaving lubricant on it. This relaxes the skin as well as softens the hair, making it easier to shave. In places such as the scrotum, you will need to use a mirror in order to make sure that you are shaving all of the pubic hair. After you have shaved, make sure to get all of the loose hairs off and rinse off the lubricant or lotion from your genitals in order to prevent irritation. Following this process will help to avoid complications when shaving pubic hair. While genital shaving with these razors are known to be safe, some will also cause side effects. One of the problems that may happen with pubic shaving is irritation from the skin, known as razor bumps. These will usually disappear after a couple of days and only cause slight irritation. Another problem that may occur is hair getting locked underneath the skin area. This, as well, will cause irritation, but should move back to normal placement after a couple of days. These will usually be prevented if you are shaving the same way that your pubic hair is growing. If you are beginning pubic shaving, you can expect that the hair will become itchy and irritable when it begins to grow back. However, the longer you shave, the less this will happen. When shaving the penis and pubic hair area, there are also certain precautions that you will want to take. Making sure that the razor is not dull will help to reduce problems with things such as razor bumps and cuts. Even with a sharper razor, make sure that you are careful around the penis area. One of the things that you will want to prevent after shaving is applying certain types of lotions and creams. Because of the sensitivity of the genital area, this can cause irritation. While you should use a lubricant to help during shaving, this should also be looked into to make sure that you won’t have any side effects from skin irritation later. Making sure that you shave with the right tools and follow the best procedure will prevent irritation, as well as other problems when shaving the genital area. Pubic shaving can then become a favored way to remain attractive towards your partner as well as help with hygiene. penile enlargement patch penis enlargment information free natural penis enhancement pennis enlargement excercises penis enlagement tool surgical penis enlagement penile enlargement review manual penis enlargment

How to Restore Your Foreskin A New Restorer's Decision Making Guide by Steve R.H., FRC Site Editor (email with Q's or Support steve@foreskinrestorationchat.info ) CONTENTS SECTION A......Short Intro to the Restorer's Restoration Decision Guide 1......Are you ready for the non-surgical restoration commitment? 2......Tight Circumcision? - How tightly were you circumcised? 2a.....Tapeless Devices? Or Taping Methods? 3......Restoration methods for very tightly circumcised men 4......Restoration methods for men with average or somewhat looser circumcisions 5......Vitamin / Health Assistance for skin health and skin cell growth 6......Removing Tape from the penis without pain, sores, tears, or rips 7......Methods to keep the tape from coming off prematurely 7a.....When do I tell my partner about my restoring? Should I tell him/her? 8......24/7 Restoring? Or Cyclical Restoring. Which is faster? (New Medical Research Info) A. Short Introduction to the Restorer's Restoration Decision Guide There are many answers on the internet. This is a dilema in itself because so much information answers questions but creates confusion. Confusion creates a problem when it comes to making decisions - and coming up with the right questions, at the right times. Foreskin restoration information 'overload' frequently causes depression and anxiety in men who have just learned about restoring. This guide is an attempt by a somewheat experienced foreskin restorer to help put some method to the madness of information, after you've decided to non-surgically restore your foreskin. Hopefully it will alleviate some of the confusion and mistakes I personally have experienced during my restoration, and those that I have heard of first hand. Maybe sparing you some embarrassments, depression, confusion, or frustration. 1. Are You Ready for the Non-Surgical Restoration Commitment? If you think that a successful foreskin restoration of your own is possible without considerable emotional fortitude, sorry to have to disappoint you. A non-surgical restoration can take years. Average lengths of time would be useless to report except to serve as inspiration or loose guidelines, so it *is* reasonable to assume that a man with an average circumcision (ie. not too tightly circumcised) can complete a restoration - that is, a man can obtain full coverage of the glans of the penis to look uncircumcised - in about 2-years on average. With some dedication. And certainly with an large emotional commitment. You must realize that after you decide to restore your foreskin, there is not going to be a magic-pill that will regrow your foreskin overnight. When we speak of an 'emotional commitment' - it means a commitment to yourself and your sexual pleasure and identity. BE READY TO SPEND AT LEAST ONE FULL YEAR RESTORING!! We all often think we have a high level of patience, but what many men discover, after starting their restoration, is that their patience is really 'stretched' to the limit, and unfortunately most men who start restoring - quit. Whether it is out of depression that their restoration is not progressing fast enough, or the man's thought that "it's simply not possible". Many of these men re-appear years later saying "I wish I hadn't given up years ago, or I'd be finished restoring by now!" - moral of the story - don't start unless you plan on sticking with it. It will save you emotional exhaustion and disappointment. Just remember - it *is* - absolutely - possible to restore your foreskin and grow new skin cells! 2. Tight Circumcision? - How tightly were you circumcised? Just as there are a vast variety of shapes, sizes, and appearances of all penises, circumcised or not; there are just as many variations on methods, and variations of circumcisions. Tight/close circumcisions. Loose circumcisions. Circumcisions that leave a man looking practically uncircumcised, etc. (a) If your penis experiences pain or a tight pulling sensation while fully erect - you were circumcised tightly/aggressively. (b) If your penis bleeds or forms any little tears anywhere along the penile shaft when you obtain erection - you are much too tightly circumcised. (c) Can't move any - or hardly any - skin onto your glans while erect? You likely had an average North American Circumcision. (d) Able to - with minor pulling - roll skin up onto the glans while erect? You probably had a looser circumcision (e) Able to easily roll skin to almost cover the glans while erect? - You have a very loose circumcision. If you feel your circumcision falls into A, B, or C, then you may have to start your restoration with some of the less aggressive restoration methods - and will most likely be required to - at least start - with a taping method. There is nothing wrong with this. Many, many men start with taping - and finish their restoration taping. This author included. If you believe you fall into categories D or E, you may be able to start slightly ahead of the men circumcised more tightly. You may be able to begin with a tapeless device if you chose. There is some debate as to whether tapeless or tape-utilizing methods produce faster or slower results. It has been this author's experience that taping methods produce the best, fastest results. This of course is this author's personal experience only. Tightly circumcised men, regretfully, will be the most likely restorers to spend a longer amount of time restoring to completion. If you are circumcised tightly, keep in mind, however, that as you develop and grow more new skin, restoring becomes exponentially faster as there are more skin cells to divide to create new cells - causing the restoration of your foreskin. SO, tightly circumcised: don't despair! Users of the FRC website (http://foreskinrestorationchat.info) have frequently reported having started AND FINISHED restoring even tho their circumcisions and penile skin as a result, were - in their words - "tight as a drum" Again - do NOT despair. Many circumcised men have suffered privately behind closed doors as a result of their overly tight circumcisions (one is tempted to call such circumcisions "clumsy, botched") - have begun restoring, and have reported a night-and-day improvement in their sex lives - and yes, their male or female sex partners do report such happiness at the marked imrprovement in their restoring partner's pleasure responses, as well as their own pleasure being given to them by their newly restoring partners. 2a. Tapeless Devices? Or Taping Methods? There are many "tapeless devices" available by many commercial manufacturers all over the internet. It is important to realize that there is no need to purchase these commercial devices to restore your foreskin. The reason these manufacturers have designed these devices is to fulfill a niche market - the market of men who are restoring but cannot, for one reason or another, deal with using tape methods. NOTE: That most surgical tapes, such as 3M MicroPore or Rejuvenesse are hypo-allergenic and if you get sores or irritations from those tapes, chances are that you are not using proper tape application methods. Methods on application of tape or tapeless devices can be found on the main FRC page. NOTE TO TIGHTLY CIRCUMCISED MEN: You will most likely need to start restoring - at least for a couple months - using the X-Taping (Cross Taping) method to loosen-up some skin on your penis to open up some more opportunity to use more aggressive, faster methods. It is possible for a tightly circumcised man to even start with T-Taping (this author's favorite method). NOTE TO LOOSELY CIRCUMCISED MEN: You have the luxury to pick and chose which method or commercial device you chose to use for your restoration. While this author doesn't personally feel tapeless methods/devices are unnecessary, many men prefer tapeless devices because of the ease of use (eg. can be removed very quickly for intimacy, no peeling tape off the penis, no making t-tapes, etc.). If you are loosely circumcised, or believe you are, try starting with the T-Tape/Tension-Strap method. There is a great link on the FRC site, linking to the exceptional "T-Tape Picture Book" - a photo-guided instruction manual for those who want to try the great T-Tape foreskin restoring method. Loosely circmcised men usually need not start with a X-taping method (which is used most often by tightly circumcised men to obtain some more useable skin for faster methods). Some tapeless methods you can order include the: TLC-tugger, CAT II Pro, Tug-a-hoy. (Links all on FRC) Tapeless devices (or "tuggers" as they are often called) do have some advantages, as alluded to above. For one, not having to place tape - an adhesive - on the skin of your penis is a major enticement to tapeless tuggers for many restoring men. Almost every tape a restorer can use will still leave some amount of residue on the skin, after removal. There are lotions (mineral oil with citrus extract products, for example) that will literally disolve away most surgical tape residue from the penile skin when using a taping method, and you simply rinse away with water. This is not a very time consuming process. When you get accustomed to 'taping' you find you can apply your t-tapes in as little as 30-seconds, and remove it completely (including all residue that may be left) in about 5-minutes (soaking in warm water time, then slowly pulling the soaked tape away from the skin, removing any residue, etc.) Another "bonus" to tapeLESS methods regards urination. Let's face it, you will have to 'go' at least a few times a day, and worse if you're a coffee drinker! (Make a mental note: If wearing tape on your penis when you go to the office, reduce your coffee consumption, or your boss may wonder why you've disappeared to the bathroom back and forth for half of the day!) Tapeless methods do allow for urination without having to remove the device. Not all tapeless methods allow urination without removal - but it has become a common feature in most varying designs. Wearing a T-Tape for example, one must unclip the tension strap and 'open' the end of the T-Tape to pull the skin back to urinate, then reverse the process when finished. Experienced tapers, however, can often accomplish this with great discretion and speed even at a public urinal! It's recommended you get to know your device while utlizing "public stalls" in washrooms. Try not to smile - you'll soon become famiiar with how disruptive 'bathroom breaks' become while restoring - tapeless or not. Don't lose your sense of humor over all of this, because in retrospect most men do have stories they like to share or report that are nothing short of hillarious (ie. man wearing a PUD - a metal tugger - went through a security checkpoint at an airport...not hard to guess what that poor guy went through!). Think of the bar stories you'll have! Bottom line when it comes to tapeless or tape methods is a matter of purely personal choice. 3. Restoration Methods for Very Tightly Circumcised Men Tightly circumcised? You are in good company. Millions of men are circumcised too tightly. Most circumcisions in North America are done to the standard of the Jewish custom of "bris periah" - the complete and utter removal of the entire foreskin and all of it's components (ie. the frenelum, inner mucosal skin, etc.). This is usually accomplished by circumcising infants with a Gomco Circumcision Clamp, or Plastibell device. Some men manage to escape such radical circumcisions, but most do not - not in North America anyway. For the tightly, radically circumcised man, there are some methods to begin a foreskin restoration. 1 - You should spend a few months X-Taping to loosen some of the tight skin on your erect penis 2 - Manually pulling on the skin with your fingers (see Manual Rest. link on main page) to loosen skin, 10-15mins at a time, a few times a day. When the skin is loose enough from the X-taping and/or Manual restoring methods, you can 'graduate' to wearing a more comfortable T-Tape and tension strap to expedite the skin growth process. Whenever you have the opportunity (eg. after using the washroom, after/during showers, etc.) you should manually pull tightly on the shaft skin, up over the glans as far as you can without causing pain. PAIN IS NEVER, EVER A GOOD INDICATION OF PROPER RESTORING. One way many tightly circumcised men "get in" some easy to accommodate manual restoring, and in fact the same method many restorers regardless of their type of circumcision use, is to do as follows: While erect - right after your shower and you have dried off is best - grab about midway up the penis with your thumb, index, and middle fingers, forming a decent grip around your penis. Then simply pull the skin (which will already be somewhat tight from the erection) back towards the body and hold it for 15-20 seconds, then rest for about 30-seconds, repeat. Do this for five to ten minutes - but stop if you start feelings your penis and skin becoming raw or sore. This method will do more to loosen a tight circumcision than you might imagine, and again, looser skin opens doors to easier use of faster, more aggressive methods of restoration. "I'm so tightly circumcised that I really doubt there is any skin to successfully restore." - Untrue. ALL skin will stretch, grow, and create new skin cells if put under tension. No matter how little you have. It may start off with some difficulty, and start off somewhat slowly, but remember, speed of skin growth only becomes exponentially faster as you gain and 'loosen' more. 4. Restoration Methods for Men with Average or Looser Circumcisions For men circumcised in a manner that left some amount of loose skin on the shaft of the penis, there are some more options open and available to you in your restoration. Just as men tightly circumcised, you have the option of X-taping, but you can also easily use T-Taping, or even try a commercial 'tugger' or two. In the interest of simplicity of access, and short-term cost, I recommend starting off with T-Taping (see links on FRC). Looser skin allows you to more comfortably wear a T-Tape as well. Looser skin, means more skin - when T-Taped and under tension with your tension strap attached to your T-Tape, the tension pulls the penils shaft skin and remaining foreskin out over the glans and allows the whole contraption to accommodate erections either at night - or spontaneous ones during the day. Many tapeless devices simplt cannot accommodate erections and must be removed at night to ensure no damage occurs - but to be fair, a select few tapeless device manufacturers and home-made tapeless tugger designs can and are worn at nightt and can accommodate erections. So take your pick guys, if you got away with a loose circumcision, you have many options available to you. It is recommended that you examine the Foreskin Restoration Methods Comparison Chart, you can find the link to that as well on the FRC website. 5. Vitamin / Health Assistance for Skin Health and Skin Cell Growth As you would expect, when you are ungoing your own non surgical foreskin restoration, it's best to be in, and remain in good overall health. There are a vast number of men who use Vitamin E religiously, both orally and topically. In light of new medical research on vitamin E and it's possible link to an increase in morbidity, this author will not recommend any 'good' internal doseage of Vitamin E. "E" can, and maybe should be applied to the penile skin that is under tension - in between restoring sessions. It appears (from many men's reports and personal experience) that a simple 400IU Vitamin E caplet broken open and spread and massaged into the skin is both soothing, and actually seems to speed the healing of irritated skin. Ph-neutral soaps or soapless body cleansing lotions enriched with Vitamin E, used in the shower, might also be useful. There is very experimental medical research out of Beijing, China, that has proven a medical agent called Papaverine Topical Cream actually sped the growth of skin! This is a very short exerpt from a medical abstract from the Southern-2 Ward, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China: "This study shows that the rate of tissue expansion can be accelerated by topical application of papaverine cream" This information is not provided in this text to get your hopes up. It's provided to show that research into skin, cell, and tissue growth is happening right now, around the world. Eventually circumcised men will be able to very rapidly restore their foreskins with these medical - albeit non-surgical - methods if the speed of this type of research grows - or at least continues. Until science evolves to a point whereby we can smear some cream on a circumcised penis and within a day or two have a newly regrown restored foreskin, let's be practical! It is critical to maintain skin moisture in between wearing your tape or tapeless devices ('while you are restoring'). Many men find simple mineral oil too greasy and tends not to absorb quickly enough into the skin, but if you find your skin does absorb mineral oil quickly, massage that into your skin daily in between taping (being very sure to thoroughly cleanse all trace of oil before next restoring-session!). This author prefers to use: "Vaseline (brand) Intensive Care Unscented Extra Strength Lotion" (containing many moisturizers and Virtamin E - for 'very dry skin')" Now that Vaseline got the plug (!) I must say that this particular brand of moisturizer absorbs *very* quickly, is completely greaseless with no oils, and is all sorts of great! After a great deal of experience with different lotions for moisturizing after restoring-sessions, this one hands down must be given a try by all restorers. Another suggestion often offered by restorers is to use a lotion with not only Vitamin E, but also with Lipids. It is suggested that lipids actually enhance the speed of the skin repair and cellular restoration process. Take it for what it is worth. There is sufficient conflicting evidence both that prove lipids are helpful and that lipids are useless to warrant your own research into "lipids" on the internet to make this decision. Ensure you are eating a healthy amount of fish. If you aren't, include some in your diet, as it is suggested fish oils are essential to skin health. Also, a good, trusted namebrand multi-vitamin once a day, with perhaps the addition of fish oil (cod liver oil, halibut liver oil...) supplements as they are good for the skin would be useful. Useful not only for healthy skin, but also for your general health! Be aware however, that this author is not a doctor and these are (not medical) suggestions made from personal experiences, reading, and those experiences and reports of other restoring men. Use good sense and consult your GP before you decide to start supplementing your diet with vitamins. 6. Removing Tape from the Skin Without Pain, Tears, Sores, Rips... Even tho this section best belongs in a taping-methods guide, I felt it important enough to make a short entry on this matter in this guide. Many of you reading this will have already decided to start restoring and are perhaps reading this reflecting, or referring to it. Many of you are also causing yourself damage using a taping restoration method - not necessarily by too much tension or improper taping procedures - but by plain, simple tape removal ! A great many restoring men have been either turned off of restoring altogether because of the pain they cause themselves removing their tapes, or it converts men to a search for a tapeless tugger product. There are a few very, very simply rules to removing your tape without pain, tears, sores, or rips: Soak in a hot bath for five minutes and then remove tape slowly under the water Always remove the skin from the tape - not the tape from the skin (what this means is, grab the tape and slowly roll the skin off the grip of the tape, do not pull on the tape, roll or push down on the skin AWAY FROM the tape) You can purchase a citrus mineral oil - rub it over the taped area, wait for a minute, and gently and slowly remove the tape (keeping the above rule in mind!) All residue should come off with the tape. If it doesn't, the citrus in the oil will make the residue simple to roll off. Never try to remove your tape (unless it's an emergency!) without at least soaking it in some form of oil-based lotion, very warm baths/water, or something to loosen the bond that the tape has created between itself and your skin. If you feel any pain at all removing your tape, chances are you are going to have either a sore, or irritated spot at that location after you get the tape off. Don't ake any chances, remove the tape slowly, it can be done within 5-minutes without any negative effects! 7. Methods to Keep the Tape from Coming Off Prematurely If removing the tape is the least of your problems after you start trying out the taping method, then keeping he tape ON, or keeping it from slipping, will be the next problem you're likely to encounter. Some men find that they cannot keep their tapes from losing grip and slipping off the skin after even 4 or 5 hours. The point here is to have the tape stay-put where you placed it, for as long as you want it to stay there. Try these methods: From the drugstore, purchase a small bottle of $3 or $4 "Friar's Balsam" (Tincture of Benzoin) It is a type of astringent. With a Q-Tip, paint a very thin layer over the area of skin on which you will be placing the tape. Let the liquid painted on the skin dry for about 30-seconds before applying your tape. Then apply your tape as usual. The Friar's Balsam holds AMAZINGLY well, and requires that you soak in the hot bath for a few minutes longer to get the tape to come off later. Another suggestion. Lightly dust the area of your body that is likely to have your penis held against (your leg, your lower stomach - if sleeping with your tension strap over your shoulder) with unscented baby powder. It will absorb any extra moisture caused by the heat of the penis being held against the body so tightly by tension. You can also dust the outside of the tape lightly with baby powder as well, which will help absorb any moisture that might othewise infiltrate the delicate surgical tape. ALWAYS: Ensure that if you use the T-Tape method, that you place the midline of the "T" along your Point of Equilibrium (POE) on your penis. The POE is the point around your penis on the skin where if the tape is applied and pulled, equal tension is spread over both the inner and outter area of skin. In most men just starting to restore, with an average circumcision, the POE is usually right along your circumcision-line. In tightly circumcised men who may have difficulty locating their POE, use the circumcision-line as well, as your POE. Taping along your POE will ensure that the tape is baring the load of the tension equally, so that the adhesive holds longer without one area slipping, causing the whole tape to fail. 7a. When do I Tell My Partner About my Restoring? Should I Tell Him/Her? Having to discuss this issue with anyone, particularly your most intimate friend - your partner, can be the most difficult thing to do. The chances of you being able to hide your restoration process from your loved one will be next to impossible. So it has to be dealt with sooner or later. Express how important "trying this out" is to you. Be prepared to answer the question "why would you want to do this?" - It invariably seems to be the first or second question that comes up! That is something no Guide can help you answer. But it is certainly something worth taking some time to consider. "Why do you want to restore?" Men and women have contacted me in relation to their partner's restoration. All have said that they are supportive of their partners' restoration efforts, and in some cases they were the one who introduced them to the idea in the first place! It's rare to hear of an unsupportive partner - even if their level of support is purely a matter of tolerance out of love for them. Your partner may ask you if you are doing this because they of them - because they "can't please you anymore". It's important to make sure that your partner is told - frankly - that restoring your foreskin is a decision for you, about you, and something you want - nothing to do with them, you just hope that they will be supportive and not think you are crazy for doing this. Inform them that most men's sexual pleasure increases greatly as a result of restoration, and many of their partners report enhanced sexual pleasure as well. Ultimately your choice to restore could potentially enhance both of your sex lives! Two documents you can show your partner, when you "come out to them" about restoring, can be found at the following links: Why Would a Circumcised Man Want to Restore His Foreskin (http://foreskinrestorationchat.info/jfaq.html) by John Geisheker, J.D., LL.M (General Counsel, Doctor's Opposing Circumcision, D.O.C. http://faculty.washington.edu/gcd/DOC/ ) What is Foreskin Restoration by FRC, Document appears on main page of site (http://foreskinrestorationchat.info) 8. 24/7 Restoring? Or Cyclical Restoring. Which is faster? (New Medical Research Info) There is nothing more hotly debated in the restoration community than the issue of how long to wear the tension/weight on the skin in order to obtain the maximum skin cell growth in the shortest time. For a long time, the general restoratin community was convinced that a restoring regimen as close to 24/7 as possible was optimal. In other words, it was believed - and still is by some - that foreskin restoration would be completed/achived faster the longer you were 'stretching' the skin. Well, medical research in every shape and form is luckily, always evolving. For years, the co-founder of NORM (National Organization of Restoring Men) Wayne Griffiths, has tried to convince restoring men that a 24/7 regimen is not the answer to the most expeditious skin growth. The following is a quote from a posting in the FRC Forums by Wayne Griffiths: "When we look at the body builders, trying and successfully getting more muscle and you have a muscle to be lengthened for sure the Dartos/Peripenic muscle... you need to follow as the most recent research has indicated, and as i have been 'preaching' for 15 years, growth is had when the cells have a chance to perform mitosis. One needs to understand that just looking at it in a mechanical/physical situation, if you were a rubber band stretched to the fullest extent, could you tie a knot in the middle of yourself? I think not. So the resolving of the chromatin of the nucleus into a threadlike form, which separate into segments or chromosomes, each of which separated longitudinally into two parts, one part of each chromosome being retain in each of two new cells resulting from the original cell. "The three papers researching tissue expansion have only been done since 1997 + - and the latest in 2004...have shown that cyclical moderate tension is the most successful and productive method of growing new cells. These studies i am sure will change to some extent the regimen for tissue expansion in the medical field for harvesting." (Wayne Griffiths, NORM - http://www.norm.org) Taking this information into consideration, a 12-hour restoring day, with 8-12 hours off, each day, 6-days a week, would seem to be an appropriate suggestion. Of course, for any new restorer, the length of time you may be able to tolerate wearing your device or tape could be very short. It takes a while to become used to wearing tapes and devices and thus be able to comfortably wear them for longer periods of time. This document should not be taken as medical advice and is meant to compliment, rather than supplant the relationship between you and your doctor. truth about penis enargement pills penile enlargement review pennis enlargement exercise cheap penis enlagement natural penile enlargment technique pnis enlargement surgery penis enargement pills permanent penis enlargment manual penile enlargment

Don't feel well? Take a pill. A few pounds to lose? Take a pill. No energy? Take a pill. Depressed? Take a pill. Today's society is a pill society. Many studies have been done to show that if people are given a placebo (sugar pill) and told that it will increase their sexual performance; the majority will say that they noticed an increase in their sexual performance. It has proven that enhancing the libido, at least the most important part of it, comes from the mind. So now we wonder, how does food affect a person's sexual and emotional health? Soy can be used to suppress hot flashes that occur hot flashes, promote a healthy prostate, and help in vaginal lubrication. It adheres to estrogen receptors which maintain the lubrication that a vagina needs. This is a problem that also occurs during menopause. Chili peppers can improve your circulation and stimulate nerve endings. Ginger can do the same thing. Because this improves, so will your sexual pleasure. Since good blood flow is important for a good erection food that is good for your heart will also be good for your penis. If your heart is not operating properly there is a very good chance that your penis will not be responding as well as you would like it to either. Since saturated fat will clog the arteries, which in turn will restrict the blood flow, it stands to reason that it also restricts the blood flow that reaches your genital region as well. Yes, your body does require fat to create hormones, but it needs the right kind of fats. Good fat comes from olive oils, sea food, and nuts. These good fats will help in the production of hormones that are essential for sexual peak performance. Foods that are said to have aphrodisiac qualities are asparagus, bananas, eel, oysters, figs, and ginseng. Rhino horn is said to increase the sexual appetite. The taste, texture, or perhaps appearance of these foods are thought to increase the sex drive. There are some that believe if you eat foods that appear penis like it will make your penis strong and like the food that you ingest. The same applies to the oyster or the fig, which either smell or look like the woman's vulva when aroused. When a person eats these foods they are in the hopes that the vulva will then become plump, slippery, and tasty as well. Sweet or spicy foods are thought to put people in a relaxed mood and to appear ready to take on more pleasure. Now the question remains, do these food myths work? No, not the way that they are said to work. Foods cannot change the way that your sexual organs look. Food can be a great way to spice up your sex life though, so why not? Drinking alcohol will relax you emotionally and physically make you look flushed. For a short amount of time it will make you look flushed. Caffeine and sugar offer a quick boost of energy. These are short term effects but in reality what you should do is eat a healthy diet of fish and fresh vegetables to be at your best physically and sexually at all times.

Many people assume they need to consume Alcohol to have Good Sex? For most Americans, consuming alcohol seems to be part of our cultural heritage. We drink at weddings, funerals, birthdays, and pretty much to celebrate anything and everything. We learned from a young age by watching our parents and other adults, that drinking is a sign of maturity. Many people, especially young adolescents, expect that alcohol use will lower tension and anxiety and increase sexual desire and pleasure in life (Seto & Barbaree,1995). About 1 in every 7 adults in the United States meet criteria for alcohol dependency, according to a large NIMH epidemiological study (Grant, 1977). Men are four times more likely than women to be heavy drinkers and are twice as likely to be alcohol abusing or alcohol dependant. Most males and many females find it difficult to imagine not drinking any alcohol at least on weekends and find it almost impossible to think of having sex without previously having a few drinks. These fundamental values appear to be deeply embedded in our culture. Somewhere along the line, we got the message that we need alcohol to have good sex. Does Alcohol Enhance or Hurt our Sexual Performance? I recently heard a stand-up comedian refer to the term, “Whiskey – Dick” when describing his “friends who had drank too much and had difficulties with orgasm even while using Viagra. Shakespeare once said that excessive drinking, “provokes the desire but takes away the performance.” Alcohol reduces inhibitions and gives us a mellow feeling. It makes us more relaxed and more talkative. It can make shy people fe//el confident and bold. These effects can facilitate our sexual desires by developing our social skills. However, these positive effects are only present in the early stage of intoxication i.e. when we’ve consumed 1-2 drinks (assuming you haven’t already developed a tolerance for alcohol). Sexual Impotence On the other hand, alcohol’s negative effects on sexual performance have been widely documented. Men and women who have several drinks may find it very hard to achieve orgasm. Difficulties with achieving orgasm after alcohol consumption can be understood because alcohol dilates small blood vessels all over the body so that there is less engorgement of blood in the sexual organs. This leaves the penis flaccid or only partially erect so that sexual penetration is difficult. Women may find that they have decreased vaginal lubrication making sexual intercourse unpleasant and sometimes painful (Raff, 2006). Impotence is the constant inability of a man to maintain an erection for sexual purposes. It is estimated that impotence affects over 30 million men in the United States (NIHCS, 1992). Masters and Johnson, identified alcohol as a common factor in impotence in their monumental work on human sexual inadequacy. Alcohol damages the central nervous system and destroys brain cells, and if the damage is prolonged enough, it can result in irreversible sexual impotence even while a person is sober. Alcohol is also a factor in loss of sexual control or premature ejaculation. Even a couple of beers before sex can spoil a man's erection and ruin his ejaculatory control. Up to 80 percent of men who drink heavily are believed to have serious sexual side effects, including impotence, sterility, or loss of sexual desire. Heavy drinking over a long period of time can irreversibly destroy testicular cells, leaving men with shrunken testicles. Both sexual drive and sexual capacity can be damaged. Alcohol also suppresses testosterone levels even in social drinkers by suppressing the secretory activity of the Leydig cells (Flatto, 1990). Alcohol and High-Risk Sexual Behaviors A history of heavy alcohol use has been correlated with a lifetime tendency toward high-risk sexual behaviors, including multiple sex partners, unprotected intercourse, sex with high-risk partners (e.g., injection drug users, prostitutes), and the exchange of sex for money or drugs (Windle,M.,1997). There may be many reasons for this association. For example, alcohol can act directly on the brain to reduce inhibitions and diminish risk perception (MacDonald,T.K.,2000). However, expectations about alcohol’s effects may exert a more powerful influence on alcohol-involved sexual behavior. Studies consistently demonstrate that people who strongly believe that alcohol enhances sexual arousal and performance are more likely to practice risky sex after drinking (Cooper,M.L.,2002). Some people report deliberately using alcohol during sexual encounters to provide an excuse for socially unacceptable behavior or to reduce their conscious awareness of risk (Derman,K.H.,1998). According to McKirnan and colleagues (McKiran,D.J.,2001), this practice may be especially common among men who have sex with men. This finding is consistent with the observation that men who drink prior to or during homosexual contact are more likely than heterosexuals to engage in high-risk sexual practices (Avins,A.L.,1994). Alcohol and AIDS People with alcohol use disorders are more likely than the general population to contract HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) - the agent that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Similarly, people with HIV are more likely to abuse alcohol at some time during their lives (Petray,N.M.,1999). Alcohol use is associated with high-risk sexual behaviors and injection drug use, two major modes of HIV transmission. What are signs of problem drinking? The primary signs of problem drinking are: Having health, legal, social, academic or financial problems as a result of drinking. For example, missing class or work because of drinking or hangovers, not be able to have fun or express oneself without drinking, fights or problems with roommates or significant others, spending excessive amounts of money on alcohol, blackouts/passing out, trips to the ER, being defensive when someone mentions your drinking, needing to drink more to achieve the same effects (tolerance), frequently drinking with the primary purpose of getting drunk, and/or repeatedly driving under the influence. These are only guidelines and each case is different. If you're concerned about your drinking or a friend's drinking, get more information! Screening for Alcohol Dependence Screening tools are available to assist counselors and therapists with diagnosing alcohol abuse and dependence such as the SMAST below. Short Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) 1. Do you feel you are a normal drinker? (By normal we mean you drink less than or as much as most other people.) 2. Does your wife, husband, a parent, or other near relative ever worry or complain about your drinking? 3. Do you ever feel guilty about your drinking? 4. Do friends or relatives think you are a normal drinker? 5. Are you able to stop drinking when you want to? 6. Have you ever attended a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous? 7. Has drinking ever created problems between you and your wife, husband, a parent, or other near relative? 8. Have you ever gotten into trouble at work because of drinking? 9. Have you ever neglected your obligations, your family, or your work for two of more days in a row because you were drinking? 10. Have you ever gone to anyone for help about your drinking? 11. Have you ever been in a hospital because of drinking? 12. Have you ever been arrested for drunken driving, driving while intoxicated, or driving under the influence of alcoholic beverages? 13. Have you ever been arrested, even for a few hours, because of other drunken behavior? Individuals that answer – Yes to three or more questions indicate probable alcoholism, two yes answers indicate probable alcoholism, and fewer than two yes answers indicate that alcoholism is not likely (Selzer, M., Winokur, A. & Van Rooijen, C.; 1975). Note: If after reading the above, you started rationalizing to yourself, “Well, I can stop drinking anytime I want to, but I usually stop when I run out of money.” (As my old graduate professor use to say) STOP BULL-SH#%ting yourself and go see a certified alcohol counselor. Co-morbidity & Alcohol Dependence Alcohol abuse and dependence are among the most destructive of the psychiatric disorders (Volpicelli, 2001). Addictions such as alcohol dependence and other addictions as a rule do not develop in isolation. Over 37 % of alcohol abusers suffer from at least one coexisting addiction and/ or mental disorder (Rovner, 1990). Individuals can shift from one addiction to another or sustain multiple addictions at different times. The National Co-morbidity Survey (NCS) that sampled the entire U.S. population in 1994, found that among non-institutionalized American male and female adolescents and adults (ages 15-54), roughly 50% had a diagnosable Axis I mental disorder at some time in their lives. This survey’s results indicated that 35% of males will at some time in their lives have abused substances to the point of qualifying for a mental disorder diagnosis, and nearly 25% of women will have qualified for a serious mood disorder (mostly major depression). A significant finding of note from the NCS study was the widespread occurrence of co-morbidity among diagnosed disorders. It specifically found that 56% of the respondents with a history of at least one disorder also had two or more additional disorders. These persons with a history of three or more co-morbid disorders were estimated to be one-sixth of the U.S. population, or some 43 million people (Kessler, 1994). Poor Prognosis We have come to realize today more than any other time in history that the treatment of lifestyle diseases and addictions such as alcoholism are often a difficult and frustrating task for all concerned. Repeated failures abound with all of the addictions, even with utilizing the most effective treatment strategies. But why do 47% of patients treated in private treatment programs (for example) relapse within the first year following treatment (Gorski,T., 2001)? Have addiction specialists become conditioned to accept failure as the norm? There are many reasons for this poor prognosis. Some would proclaim that addictions are psychosomatically- induced and maintained in a semi-balanced force field of driving and restraining multidimensional forces. Others would say that failures are due simply to a lack of self-motivation or will power. Most would agree that lifestyle behavioral addictions are serious health risks that deserve our attention, but could it possibly be that patients with multiple addictions are being under diagnosed (with a single dependence) simply due to a lack of diagnostic tools and resources that are incapable of resolving the complexity of assessing and treating a patient with multiple addictions? New Proposed Diagnosis Since successful treatment outcomes are dependent on thorough assessments, accurate diagnoses, and comprehensive individualized treatment planning, it is no wonder that repeated rehabilitation failures and low success rates are the norm instead of the exception in the addictions field. Treatment clinics need to have a treatment planning system and referral network that is equipped to thoroughly assess multiple addictions and mental health disorders and related treatment needs and comprehensively provide education/ awareness, prevention strategy groups, and/ or specific addictions treatment services for individuals diagnosed with multiple addictions. Written treatment goals and objectives should be specified for each separate addiction and dimension of an individuals’ life, and the desired performance outcome or completion criteria should be specifically stated, behaviorally based (a visible activity), and measurable. To assist with resolving this problem a multidimensional diagnosis of “Poly-behavioral Addiction,” is proposed for more accurate diagnosis leading to more effective treatment planning. This diagnosis encompasses the broadest category of addictive disorders that would include an individual manifesting a combination of alcohol and substance abuse addictions, and other obsessively-compulsive behavioral addictive behavioral patterns to pathological gambling, religion, and/ or sex / pornography, etc.). Behavioral addictions are just as damaging - psychologically and socially as alcohol and drug abuse. They are comparative to other life-style diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease in their behavioral manifestations, their etiologies, and their resistance to treatments. They are progressive disorders that involve obsessive thinking and compulsive behaviors. They are also characterized by a preoccupation with a continuous or periodic loss of control, and continuous irrational behavior in spite of adverse consequences. Poly-behavioral addiction would be described as a state of periodic or chronic physical, mental, emotional, cultural, sexual and/ or spiritual/ religious intoxication. These various types of intoxication are produced by repeated obsessive thoughts and compulsive practices involved in pathological relationships to any mood-altering substance, person, organization, belief system, and/ or activity. The individual has an overpowering desire, need or compulsion with the presence of a tendency to intensify their adherence to these practices, and evidence of phenomena of tolerance, abstinence and withdrawal, in which there is always physical and/ or psychic dependence on the effects of this pathological relationship. In addition, there is a 12 - month period in which an individual is pathologically involved with three or more behavioral and/ or substance use addictions simultaneously, but the criteria are not met for dependence for any one addiction in particular (Slobodzien, J., 2005). In essence, Poly-behavioral addiction is the synergistically integrated chronic dependence on multiple physiologically addictive substances and behaviors (e.g., using/ abusing substances - nicotine, alcohol, & drugs, and/or acting impulsively or obsessively compulsive in regards to gambling, food binging, sex, and/ or religion, etc.) simultaneously. New Proposed Theory The Addictions Recovery Measurement System’s (ARMS) theory is a nonlinear, dynamical, non-hierarchical model that focuses on interactions between multiple risk factors and situational determinants similar to catastrophe and chaos theories in predicting and explaining addictive behaviors and relapse. Multiple influences trigger and operate within high-risk situations and influence the global multidimensional functioning of an individual. The process of relapse incorporates the interaction between background factors (e.g., family history, social support, years of possible dependence, and co-morbid psychopathology), physiological states (e.g., physical withdrawal), cognitive processes (e.g., self-efficacy, cravings, motivation, the abstinence violation effect, outcome expectancies), and coping skills (Brownell et al., 1986; Marlatt & Gordon, 1985). To put it simply, small changes in an individual’s behavior can result in large qualitative changes at the global level and patterns at the global level of a system emerge solely from numerous little interactions. The ARMS hypothesis purports that there is a multidimensional synergistically negative resistance that individual’s develop to any one form of treatment to a single dimension of their lives, because the effects of an individual’s addiction have dynamically interacted multi-dimensionally. Having the primary focus on one dimension is insufficient. Traditionally, addiction treatment programs have failed to accommodate for the multidimensional synergistically negative effects of an individual having multiple addictions, (e.g. nicotine, alcohol, and obesity, etc.). Behavioral addictions interact negatively with each other and with strategies to improve overall functioning. They tend to encourage the use of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs, help increase violence, decrease functional capacity, and promote social isolation. Most treatment theories today involve assessing other dimensions to identify dual diagnosis or co-morbidity diagnoses, or to assess contributing factors that may play a role in the individual’s primary addiction. The ARMS’ theory proclaims that a multidimensional treatment plan must be devised addressing the possible multiple addictions identified for each one of an individual’s life dimensions in addition to developing specific goals and objectives for each dimension. The ARMS acknowledges the complexity and unpredictable nature of lifestyle addictions following the commitment of an individual to accept assistance with changing their lifestyles. The Stages of Change model (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1984) is supported as a model of motivation, incorporating five stages of readiness to change: pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. The ARMS theory supports the constructs of self-efficacy and social networking as outcome predictors of future behavior across a wide variety of lifestyle risk factors (Bandura, 1977). The Relapse Prevention cognitive-behavioral approach (Marlatt, 1985) with the goal of identifying and preventing high-risk situations for relapse is also supported within the ARMS theory. Conclusions Considering the wide range of alcohol abuse and sexual behaviors in our world today, one should always take into account an individual’s ethnic, cultural, religious, and social background prior to making any clinical judgments, and it would be wise to not over-pathologize in this area of Dependency. However, since successful treatment outcomes are dependent on thorough assessments, accurate diagnoses, and comprehensive individualized treatment planning - poly-behavioral addiction needs to be identified to effectively treat the complexity of multiple behavioral and substance addictions. Since chronic lifestyle diseases and disorders such as diabetes, hypertension, alcoholism, drug and behavioral addictions cannot be cured, but only managed - how should we effectively manage poly-behavioral addiction? The Addiction Recovery Measurement System (ARMS) is proposed utilizing a multidimensional integrative assessment, treatment planning, treatment progress, and treatment outcome measurement tracking system that facilitates rapid and accurate recognition and evaluation of an individual’s comprehensive life-functioning progress dimensions. The ARMS hypothesis purports that there is a multidimensional synergistically negative resistance that individual’s develop to any one form of treatment to a single dimension of their lives, because the effects of an individual’s addiction have dynamically interacted multi-dimensionally. Having the primary focus on one dimension is insufficient. Traditionally, addiction treatment programs have failed to accommodate for the multidimensional synergistically negative effects of an individual having multiple addictions, (e.g. nicotine, alcohol, and obesity, etc.). Behavioral addictions interact negatively with each other and with strategies to improve overall functioning. They tend to encourage the use of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs, help increase violence, decrease functional capacity, and promote social isolation. Most treatment theories today involve assessing other dimensions to identify dual diagnosis or co-morbidity diagnoses, or to assess contributing factors that may play a role in the individual’s primary addiction. The ARMS’ theory proclaims that a multidimensional treatment plan must be devised addressing the possible multiple addictions identified for each one of an individual’s life dimensions in addition to developing specific goals and objectives for each dimension. Partnerships and coordination among all service providers, government departments, and health insurance organizations in providing treatment programs are a necessity in addressing the multi-task solution to Alcohol Abuse and Poly-behavioral addictions. I encourage you to support the addiction programs in America, and hope that the (ARMS) resources can assist you to personally fight the War on poly-behavioral addiction.

As you begin to get older, many men begin to wonder about their prostate health. Prostate health is all over the news and media, and you may even know someone that has been diagnosed with prostate cancer over the past few years. If you are worried about your prostate health, or want to find out ways to help protect it, you have come to the right place. We will go over what this important gland does, and discuss the different options that you have in protecting your prostate health. First, you must understand what the prostate actually is. It is a sexual gland, about the size of a walnut that is located around the base of the bladder and urethra. It essentially, hugs the tube that carries urine out of your body. This partially muscular, partially glandular organ produces a slightly alkaline substance that is present in semen. It is important to understand that there are many problems with prostate health that aren’t life threatening. So if you feel that you may have a problem with your prostate, usually shown by a difficulty to urinate, it is important that you seek medical advice. Prostate disease is a condition that can vary from individual to individual. Some simply have an infection that can be treated with medication; others have an inflammation of the prostate tissue, while others simply have an enlargement of the prostate gland. While all of these many indicate cancer at a latter point, they don’t necessarily mean cancer right off the bat. Getting a diagnosis is the first step to improving your prostate health. Your doctor may perform one or more of the following tests to access the situation. Most of them are painless or may only be uncomfortable. Discuss your options with your doctor if you have a low threshold for pain. • DRE (digital rectal examination). The physician will fell the prostate manually to look for enlargements and problems. • PSA (prostate-specific antigen) testing. Your doctor will do a simple blood test to determine your level of PSA. Small amounts are normal, but large amounts could indicate a problem. • TRUS (transrectal ultrasound). This test uses wave echoes to create an image of the prostate. • Cystoscopy- where the doctor looks through the urethra with a thin, lighted tube. • Biopsy- a small tissue sample is collected from the area and studied. The key to preserving your prostate health is go get proper treatment early on. Many men are ashamed to seek treatment, which can ultimately lead to further complications. Prostate disease and cancer are easily treated as long as you get diagnosed early on. At the first sign of pain or discomfort contact your doctor immediately. Men over the age of 50 should get their prostate checked out at least once a year. Find a doctor that you are comfortable with, and make sure to ask questions. Many patients choose to do research online before they visit a doctor, which will help you ask the right questions during your visit.
