De-Boned

As our society continues to become less inhibited in matters of sex (albeit in the minutest increments), studies regarding such have gotten more prolific receiving more mainstream acceptance. Thus, we have been able to hear about studies not only about sexual practices, but studies which are purposely designed to improve our sex lives. Thank the powers that be for that! And the internet has provided a means to share the information and spread it around the world in a matter of minutes. That is exactly what I’m helping to do today with this post.

Our man-bits can fall prey to such a wide variety of ailments and mishaps. The more we know, the better our chances of preserving those all-important parts that define us as males. The most common malady is the inability to transfer our floppies into hard-drives. And it’s the most frustrating and (at times) humiliating thing that can happen to us guys. Yet, happen it does…to all of us at one point or another.

              And we’ll lay there and stare at it as if it’s from some alien planet we don’t quite know how to manipulate to our benefit.

The problem can be caused by underlying medical issues; studies have proven our boners are a health barometer: If the Barometer goes up, we’re most likely in good shape, if it fails to rise – everything might not be so good. The reason for not rising to an occasion could also be as simple as being over-tired, too drunk (or high), stress and anxiety, or depression (which gets deepened further by our dicks not cooperating!). But did you know some over-the-counter meds can be the culprit?

Neither did I until I read about a recent study done by Kaiser Permanente. They found that men who took nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories – over-the-counter pain relievers – on a daily basis for 3 months (or more) were more likely to have droopy dicks. The author of the study, Steven J. Jacobsen, M.D., Ph.D., believes chronic use blocks chemicals that aid penile blood flow. Ouch!

          If you have cause to believe mini-me may be rebelling due to daily pain relievers, or other meds, see your doctor and have him check it out, talk about adjusting the dose, and see if there might be something he can do to remedy the situation.

          Maybe he’ll have you up and operating properly again in short order.
