Catch!

 

Morning

It's Fat Tuesday. Personally, I have a hankering for some of Maddie's traditional Beignets. Yum!

Happy Mardi Gras!

May you catch many beads. 

"I wanted to ask you if you or anyone you know has ever had a problem with payronese? (not sure of spelling). I'm in my 60s and I've recently noticed that my boner has developed an unusual curve that it's never had before. A lady I was with recently (I'm bi) commented on it too. It hasn't affected my sexual activity/performance, but should I see a doctor or be concerned? I'd appreciate any feedback."

What you describe is Peyronies Disease - which isn't really a "disease" at all. It's a bend or unnatural curve along the shaft that is plaque scar tissue. Somewhere along the line, you cracked or fractured the Tunica, the fibrous sheath surrounding the soft/spongy tissue that collects the blood to form an erection.

Most men don't know when the damage happened - you may have rolled over on a boner when you were sleeping, you may have pulled or pushed your cock in the wrong way while jacking off, you may have jammed it somehow during penetrative sex.

The severity of the bend / curve would determine the proper treatment. A very minor one would probably not require anything at all as long as it doesn't bother you or interfere with sexual activity. Bear in mind, it could continue to get worse over time.

If a partner has noticed, it may be time to see a doctor - a urologist who can treat it. He will (or should) evaluate the amount of scar tissue and the severity of the bend in order to determine a path forward. That treatment could be as simple as applying a steroid cream to dissolve the scar tissue before it builds up too much.

I haven't had personal experience, so next week I'll ask my readers for any insight they can offer. In the meantime, you should be able to search my blog for the tags "peyronies" and "bent cock" for more info.

Anyone have experience dealing with Peyronies?

Ain't So Much Fun

Good morning.

Happy Mardi Gras! 

Normally, this would be a post filled with Mardi Gras beads. But we have something much more important than dudes flashing their cocks.

"Greetings, I was wondering if you or your readers might have any information on how to deal with Orgasm Headaches? They’ve started happening right at the point of climax and they’re brutally blinding and the afterglow of pain can last a couple of hours. I have tried taking Tylenol like 30 minutes before sex but still get the sharp pain on the top of my head and behind my eyes. After several episodes of this, sex and jackin’ ain’t so much fun.

Sincerely in pain, J"

Well, that cannot be good. Experiencing a headache every time you cum would be enough to make you want to stare at your boner and wish it away. And that's not good for your physical well-being or your mental health.

According to Better Health Channel, the main causes of headaches can include stress, and is usually a vasoconstriction (a narrowing of the blood vessels) But, orgasms ease stress and yours are cropping up only when you are about to cum. These are known as "Thunderclap headaches" (which are sudden onset), or "sex headaches" (which build with the oncoming orgasm). The National Institutes of Health says this:

Orgasmic headache (OH) is an "explosive" headache that occurs at orgasm. Historically, it was considered benign with no treatment needed. Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) refers to a group of disorders characterized by recurrent thunderclap headache (TCH) and multifocal vasoconstriction.

Instead of bringing you relief, it brings pain.

According to The Mayo Clinic, these are more common in men. A history of migraine headaches can contribute to the onset of sex headaches. The good news is Mayo Clinic indicates there are treatments.

"Beta blockers, for example, propranolol (Inderal, Innopran XL) or metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol-XL) — which are used to treat high blood pressure, coronary artery disease and migraines — may be taken daily to prevent sex headaches. They're recommended only if you have frequent or prolonged attacks. A calcium channel blocker, such as verapamil hydrochloride (Calan SR) — which is also used to treat high blood pressure — may be an option. In people who have a history of migraine, other migraine preventive medications may be used." [bold is mine]

Being able to enjoy sex and ejaculate is important. Not only physically, but mentally as well. Because this is a recent phenomenon for you and they come on sudden and the pain lasts for a couple of hours, I suggest you see your doctor. He or she can run some tests to ensure there are no underlying conditions, and treat the problem with one of the suggested meds. 

Readers:

Have you or someone you know experienced these? Did they find help?

Indulge

 

Happy Fat Tuesday.

Typically, for Catholics, anyway, it's the last day to indulge before giving up something you favor for Lent; the period of days (weeks) before Easter. In New Orleans, it's Mardi Gras and time to gather beads by flashing the boobs.

Or the boner.

I'm sure you all can find something fun to indulge in no matter where you might reside.

Whatever you choose to indulge in, 

enjoy the day.
