This one definitely only applies to guys.  And we all know it’s true.  Men who drink alcohol, and especially for some reason, beer, tend to be able to last a lot longer in bed before they have an orgasm.  Most guys will tell you this is true for them.  But why does alcohol make for a much longer lasting sexual experience for most men (and their lucky partners)?

The reason for the increased sexual stamina while under the influence of alcohol is that basically, alcohol suppresses the nervous system and tends to repress most response times for reflexes (this is why it is bad to drive drunk, and why most people know they shouldn’t drive when drunk, a kid runs out in front of you, or someone slams on their breaks, you usually have a delayed reaction under the influence, depending on how much you’ve drank). 

The same thing goes for your sexual stamina and sexual response.  Your nerve endings are dulled a bit, and your penis may not get as much sensation, although usually for some reason, your libido is on high when you drink (beer goggles, anyone?)

This is why men can often have sex for much longer, because they are not being stimulated as much by the friction, and their overall reaction time has been delayed.  Only problem with alcohol and your penis is that for some men, it can reduce the ability to get a hard erection with a lot of volume (size), and for some it can even completely zap their ability to get an erection at all. 

This gets to be an issue the older us men get, because it tends to be more difficult for men to get or maintain an erection in the first place. This means that your penis may appear smaller, and what you want is the opposite, you want a enlarged penis for more pleasure for you and your partner.  So, just don’t get blindly drunk, and you may be able to last quite a while for your partner. 

It seems that the “old fashioned” notion of abstinence from sexual intercourse or sexual intimacy until marriage has been confirmed as being virtually extinct in today’s American society.  New studies are tracing sex before marriage as a trend that goes back as far as the 1940’s, an era most of us traditionally thought of as pure and chaste.

Not so.  Apparently our grandmas and granpas participated in premarital sex just as much as we did even with the societal taboo being more prominent at the time, especially for women. 

The percentages run as high as 91% of all women who have premarital sex before the age of 30 years old, and an even higher percentage for men.  Government really isn’t trying to “regulate” premarital sex or promiscuity, but rather is pouring their money into educational and informational programs designed to tout the health, moral, and social benefits of sexual abstinence, or at least sexual discretion when it comes to picking sex partners. 

Looks like premarital sex is here to stay.  As long as it’s safe sex, it’s probably healthy that we are allowing ourselves sexual outlets before marriage.  After all, how does that saying go “Why buy the cow when you know you can get the milk for free?”  Or shall I say “Why buy the cow before you know if you and the milk are compatible”. 

Well, that’s what Hollywood star Cameron Diaz says, anyways, and I happen to agree with her.  Not only Cameron has been quoted as saying that sex is a great stress reliever, but many doctors and therapists will tell you that sex is not only a great way to get closer to your partner and argue less with less tension, but is also an excellent way to forget about your worries, and just think about your body and your partner’s body.

Sex has been shown to release certain calming chemicals into the blood stream that are unique in that some of these natural chemicals can only be emitted into the body from sexual intercourse or sexual arousal and orgasm. 

Sex is such a unique form of stress relief that it has a calming effect without necessarily becoming a sedative effect, so in other words, you can have sex for stress relief and return to your normal routine for the day, but with a renewed sense of vigor and energy, as well as a unique sense of calm and tension and stress melting. 

I think we all have those times that we go through “dry spells” where we aren’t getting enough sex, and it really wears on our energy levels, our self esteem and our stress levels.  I know personally if I go a few weeks without sex, it becomes harder to focus, I feel more aloof to my partner, and my stress management skills become nil. 

When I do then have sex again, I can manage my stress levels much more effectively, and have a more enhanced sexual experience the next time, since it hasn’t been too long since the last time (plus you last a lot longer!  we all know that, now don’t we?) 

Happy Holidays from Male Enhancement Magazine.  Here’s to a great day of eating, lounging around, and doing whatever your little heart desires.  Hope you all took a few days off work, as I have.  Eat, drink and be merry, and whatever holiday you celebrate, I hope you are having a good time with your family and friends today.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM MALE ENHANCEMENT MAGAZINE!

We reported a few months back that there was now conclusive evidence that male circumcision, the process by which a man’s penile foreskin is peeled back, helps to prevent the contraction of AIDS in men who engage in sex with partners. 

Well now, it’s looking like the likelihood that circumcision can cut risk of AIDS exposure up to half is very high, so the push for male circumcisionk, especially in AIDS stricken areas of Africa, may be the key to stopping this horrible disease from spreading so rampantly.   

The reason is related to the fact that circumcision is actually a much more hygienic way for the penis to be exposed, because if the foreskin is still in its original position that it was at birth, it increases the likelihood of bacteria, dirt and even a deadly virus, will accumulate there and be able to cause problems. 

Not only that, but the actuall cells that live in the foreskin of the male penis are more susceptible to the AIDS virus for some reason, making the man that much more likely to contract the disease and for it to make it’s way into his blood stream.   

Circumcision does not mean that men should stop wearing condoms as a precaution though, by any means.  Condoms are still the safest way to go, especially when having sex with multiple partners (not at once, I mean if you are not married or exclusive to one person only - monogomous in other words). 

Have you seen the recent studies coming out that point to staggering evidence that a low fat diet can dramatically cut your risk of certain types of cancer, and even improve your odds of living with that cancer several more years? 

Well, there is one catch.  The low fat diet findings say that this type of diet works, but not for hormonally driven cancers like breast cancer and I would assume prostate cancer as well since prostate cancer is linked to the hormone testosterone in men.

Does this mean that men should still not seek out a healthy, lowfat lifestyle? Absolutely not.  Because the benefits of a lower fat diet that still contains those omega three essential fats that protect the heart and also help protect us against cancer is still a good rule of thumb when it comes to prevention and health maintenance for any disease.  Also, taking a goost prostate health supplement is a good step in the right direction to maintain the health and functioning of the prostate gland. 

Other good rules of thumb are to take a potent men’s multivitamin and other men’s health supplements, which can provide the minerals, vitamins and phytonutrients that may otherwise be lacking in the foods you eat, and can help protect your organs, your brain, your heart and your sexual function beyond the age they normally start to wear down. 

High fat diets have been shown to be some of the worst diets when it comes to cancer formation and heart disease, so it is still best to stay away from the trans fats, the saturated fats - you know all those foods you love like deep fried wings, french fries and pizze (although all of us can indulge once in a while, come on). 

If you haven’t seen the movie “Borat”, then you really need to see it.  Well, let me rephrase that, maybe you should first rent the “Ali G” show (I believe there are only two seasons out there), so you understand his characters a little better, then go see Borat.  It is literally one of the funniest farces I’ve seen in a long time. 

The scene I’m talking about is where Sacha Baron Cohen, the comic genius behind “Borat”, finds his travel mate doing something he doesn’t like (he’s naked), and they proceed to get into a full on fight, completely naked in a hotel. 

Baron Cohen’s overweight costar shows the full monty, but Cohen has a strategically placed black dot in front of his crotch area the entire time, only adding more to the comedic quality of the whole scene.  I don’t remember the last time I laughed so hard.   

Well, even if there is no “medical evidence” to support what I’m about to theorize, I stand firm in saying that yes, I do believe that tequila, at least the high quality stuff, serves as a nice little aphrodisiac and natural libido helper for men and women. 

Why do I say that?  Well, personal feelings on how the popular alcoholic drink affect me personally aside, tequila is an alcohol that possesses interesting properties because of the plant it is derived from, the agave cactus. 

The higher quality tequilas, say like Melagro Gold, contain higher amounts of an extract of the agave cactus, and these extracts are known to be a stimulant.  That’s why people call tequila a stimulating alcohol, and emotions can run high if too much is consumed, because it actually stimulates the nervous system. 

This is precisely why it can also act as a temporary sexual stimulant in both ladies in men, because anything that stimulates the nervous system like this most likely also in turn can stimulate blood flow, and we all know where that extra blood can go to create more sensation and a greater sexual awareness! 

So, next time you and your lady feel like getting a little freaky, crack open a bottle of the high quality stuff (don’t skimp), and have at it!

We’ve all heard the phrase “spicing up your sex life” before, in different ways and in different contexts, whether you are talking about a long term couple, or a single person just looking to start having a regular sex life.  Well, it seems that actual spices - that is, of the kitchen variety, may play a role in helping to enhance sexual arousal and also to help enhance orgasms. 

What is the key to these foods that can enhance your sex life and enhancing the male libido?  Well, there are some foods that help, rather than hinder your sexual desire.  The component we are looking for here is food or spices that enhance circulatory activity, meaning increasing circulation like many of the herbal penis enhancing supplements on the market today which create and lengthen the orgasm process. 

Foods that are high in the essential fatty acid, called Omega-3, are excellent for enhancing and maintaining the critical circulatory system and enhancing blood flow since they help to keep the conduits to circulation - the veins, capillaries and arteries, healthy and fast moving, free of blockages and ready to pump blood vigorously through the system, including the penis. 

Omega 3 fatty acids are found abundantly in salmon, other kinds of fish, avocados, almonds, macademia nuts, and other foods that may be too numerous to name here, but you get the idea. 

Not only are these fats good for you penis health and your overall circulatory system, they are very good for your heart, and are recommended for any man over 40 to take anyways.

Other substances found in foods, nuts and grains that will help naturally increase a man’s libido and intensify your orgasms is L-Argynine, which you may have heard of.  Chili peppers are known to enhance circulation as well, and other spicy hot foods can also enhance feelings of sexual desire, as long as you don’t overdo it. 

Wow, talk about thanking your lucky stars, this 28 year old New Delhi, India man has everyone to thank, mostly a groups of dedicated doctors and surgeons for helping him get his family jewel back. 

What happened?  Well, apparently the 28 year old Indian man had an angry mob of people whom he supposedly had a past gripe with, attack him and cut his penis off.  There were unfortunately no details supplied into why an angry group of people would do such a heinous thing to a man, but one has to wonder what he did to deserve this!  Perhaps some disenchanted lady friends?

Some cheated business associates?  Very strange story, indeed.  But I digress.  The man apparently did the right thing after the attack, and put his detached penis on ice, which makes for a much easier and successful reattachment of the penis if it is severed.  Because of this, doctors were able to perform a complex, time consuming operations and successfully reattached the man’s penis. 

He says that it is fully functional, he can have sex and everything, and he is very grateful to the hospital staff where his penis-saving surgery was performed.  No details on whether the docs were skilled at things like penile enlargement surgery or anything like that, although one would think they had to have had some sort of experience with penis surgery in the past to be able to successfully reattach with all faculties intact!  Also no word on whether the young man has to perform penis exercises to get it back into working condition.

Talk about thanking your lucky stars! Jeez, this really makes us all grateful that ours are safely tucked away!
