Happy Almost New Years!

Hey everyone, all my great Male Enhancement readers, I just wanted to say to everyone have a very wonderful New Year’s Eve.  Stay out of trouble (ok, I’m a little late if you’re already out, I realize it’s late right now), and try to make some really good new year’s resolutions this year.  Don’t make it all about working out more, try to make it about something more meaningful that will truly enhance your life, and that you know you can stick to, ’cause it makes sense. 

Everything else just seems to fall in line if that’s the case, right?  Anyways, trying not to get all philisophical on ya, but I’ve just felt incredibly blessed this past year, and lucky to have all my family and friends healthy and happy and by my side too.  I’ve made some great trips and vacations and met some very interesting people I will never forget.  Ok, guys, here’s to an excellent and prosperous 2008 for all of us. 

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!!!!

Penis Extenders : What Are They?

Hmm, very good question.  And I was curious, so I did some investigating and it turns out these devices are the same thing we partly promote and talk about here on MaleEnhancementMagazine.com (because this particular product works – it’s called Size Genetics – see review here). 

A penis extender is a device, contraption, whatever you want to call it, that is supposed to help a man enlarge and lengthen his penis by gentle, gradual “stretching”, and when combined with penis enlarging exercises, it can many times make a substantial difference in a man’s penis length, something that many men struggle with when they feel their penis is too small or inadequate to please a woman. 

Penis extenders are offered by a number of companies now, but you should really be careful who you purchase from if you’re thinking of penile enhancement via one of these devices.  First of all, some of them can be flimsy and fall apart soon after you get them, or some of them have not been medically reviewed for safety and effectiveness.  The first part is very important, because if they are not reviewed for safety, they could do more harm than good. 

There is more than just uncomfortable chafing that can happen if these devices are either 1.)  not adequately reviewed for safety or 2.)  used incorrectly or have poor directions and no “program” to go with them.  Yes, if you order a penis extender and are just kind of thrown into using it however you want, this can definitely do more harm than good, so choose a program that offers just that – a program, so that you are not guessing how to use the device. 

More to come on penis extenders…..I promise.  This is an intriguing idea and definitely an intriguing device that could help men who want to enlarge their penises do it naturally without all the risk that comes with penis enlargement surgery. 

Pregnant Women Have Better Sex?

Yup, that’s right guys.  The time that women seem like they most likely really wouldn’t feel all the sexual, they sure are!  When a woman is pregnant, it pushes certain essential sexual organs to the front of the body more, like the vulva and the clitoris, because they become more swollen and engorged with blood due to the weight she is carrying and hormonal changes that are occurring when she is carrying a baby.

This swollenness actually makes a women much more heightened to touch in these areas, and she is much more able to orgasm when she is pregnant.  Seems a little unfair, as some women would say, because they really aren’t feeling like their sexy selves when they are pregnant, but it’s very true.  I’m not exactly sure why nature planned it this way.  I mean, I know that women are more sexually intuned when they are most fertile, but why while they’re pregnant, because they are already pregnant, so they can’t get any more pregnant? 

Ignore my silly rantings, that’s just the first thought I had about how crazy nature can be sometimes, don’t know why, maybe I need to see a shrink lol.  Anyways, many women report having mind blowing sex during certain months of their pregnancies, and they say that they can become in the mood for sex easier because everything is really sensitive and ready for action at almost any time. 

I’m sure their partners would be happy to oblige too most of the time, but some guys might be squeamish about it, as I know some guys who might be.  What do I have to say to them?  Buck up, man up, and get over it, and please your woman, believe me it’s very attractive to them when you put your silliness aside! 

Happy Holidays!

Well, it’s Christmas Eve, so there won’t be any “real” post tonight, but I wanted to take this time to wish all of MaleEnhancementMagazine.com’s loyal readers a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, or Kwanza, whichever holiday it is you happen to celebrate around this time of year. 

This is a time of rebirth, improvement, and making new beginnings and improvements in our life, and that’s what we’re about.  Here’s to a wonderful year in 2008, more reviews on great male enhancement products, and even more reviews on male health and well being supplements!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

Men Carry Breast Cancer Gene Also

Yep that’s right guys.  Not only can you carry genes that are linked to typically “male” diseases and conditions like male pattern baldness that require male hair loss products, but they have now been determined to be potential carriers of the breast cancer gene.  More specifically, it’s two “defective” genes that can carry with them a much statistically higher likelihood of getting the disease for both women and men.

True, breast cancer is predominantly a female disease, but men can also develop breast cancer, and the genes that increase the odds of getting it.  In fact, these genes not only increase the risk of breast cancer, but also prostate cancer (see supplements for prostate health to help ensure proper prostate health), and the more deadly and dreaded pancreatic cancer, which is very hard to treat and often goes undetected until it is too late.

Health care professionals are urging men to get tested if they have these genes if they have a family history, since this may help them determine whether preventive measures should be taken to safeguard against the certain kinds of cancer that are genetically determined, by and large. 

However, they say most patients are not willing to submit to the testing and feel it is unnecessary.  I for one am not sure what they think they can really do as far as preventing the diseases from happening if, in fact, these deadly genes are detected, but if a health care professional is recommending it, there may be something to it.  This goes to show that genetic traits are not simply dominated by one sex or the other, and that we can all get the same diseases no matter what sex we are – unless they are sex organ specific to a male or female sexual systems (reproductively speaking). 

One thing is for sure, we are seeing some exciting advancements in modern medicine and genetic testing, and I believe that within our lifetime these discoveries will lead to things like cures to certain types of cancer, autism, and other unspeakable diseases that previously felt like a death sentence to those diagnosed.  Call it my eternal optimist speaking, but I really think we’re onto something now..  

Awake Enough for Sex?

This may seem like a pretty silly question, but believe me, it is so true when it comes to having sex and having the desire to have sex.  Think about the times when you come home from work, exhausted, and your partner starts in on you for some affection and sex.  Admit it, sometimes it’s the last thing, even you as a man, want to do, and that in itself can be a frustrating fact for men.  Especially men who are normally rearing to go in the sack, and have a very high sex drive normally. 

This is the reason that many men do turn to male sexual enhancement products and even couples turn to the help of a professional sex therapist, because they don’t really know that one of the most basic of life’s functions – sleep and sleep deprivation – is interfering with their passion and their sex life. 

Of course, I don’t want to oversimplify the problem, as there are often many other reasons that affect a person’s sex life adversely, whether a male or female sexual dysfunction, but lack of sleep, which seems to be an ever increasing phenomenon these days is definitely up there with the least hard to diagnose and easiest to remedy of sexual problems. 

Lack of sleep not only makes our desire go down, it inhibits our power to perform, and often creates a vicious cycle of performance anxiety because of performance problems when tired.  If you feel that lack of sleep is really putting a damper on your sex life, you may want to see a doctor to try out something called a sleep lab.  In these, they can tell what your quality of sleep is (which is another factor that can inhibit desire), and any issues you may have with not getting sound enough sleep. 

You can also try supplements like Deer Antler Plus and VigRX (for reviews see VigRX review and Deer Antler Plus review) which do contain ingredients that can boost overall energy and stamina performance when taken regularly, and also getting the proper nutrition and exercising great increase the odds that you will get excellent quality sleep. 

Quality sleep is more important in everyone’s life than they realize.  There is a reason that people who are deprived do not perform well with motor skills, clarity of thinking and clouded judgment, because it is something in life that you will definitely die without, or suffer permanent brain damage without.  I dare say sleep is more important than food! 

Testosterone and Health Link Update

I just wanted to reiterate, after that last post about the links between low testosterone levels in men and the likelihood of mortality from significant diseases like cancer, stroke and heart attack, is still being researched, and researchers are saying the testosterone supplementation could indeed be an answer, but they have cautioned against doing that as the health effects of excess testosterone, or testosterone that really wasn’t the patient’s own to begin with, are pretty much unknown.

In fact, too much testosterone has been linked to health problems and complications of its own, and it is probably going to take a while to perfect testosterone supplementation to the patient’s specific requirement anyways.  In the meantime, good health practices are the rule of thumb, and one should always observe their own eating habits as well as lifestyle habits, which in themselves can save lives, since they help the right amount of hormones be produced. 

Unbalanced diets and not enough exercise can actually affect hormone levels in themselves, since not exercising and eating right can trigger cortisol and other harmful hormones that in turn also affect the circulation of male and female hormones in the body. 

Higher Testosterone May Lower Risk of Fatal Heart Attacks

Well, too much testosterone can be a bad thing, but it seems like lately in the news, not enough testosterone is really the reason for several medical conditions in men, including impotence, erectile dysfunction and other sexual issues that have resulted in huge popularity boosts for medical drugs like Viagra and Cialis as well has herbal male enhancement supplements like VigRX, and the ever popular and effective Prosolution pills. 

Now, researchers are saying that it appears that higher testosterone levels in men may actually save their lives, or prolong their lives, whichever way you want to slice it.  However, the British research facility that this news came out of cautions against jumping out to get that testosterone supplement or medical testosterone increasers quite yet, since the ties are only shown between natural testosterone levels (this means the naturally occurring testosterone, not introduced testosterone in to the body), and that the benefits and risks of testosterone introduction into the body are not well enough understood to make the risks and benefits apparent.

Not only did naturally higher levels of testosterone hormones in men prove to protect them against heart attacks, but it also may help to protect men against another scary health disaster, the stroke.  Strokes are when oxygen is temporarily deprived in the brain, and the victim “strokes out”.  Many times strokes have been linked to high blood pressure that goes untreated, as well as high cholesterol.  Yeah, that means those eggs and bacon you might be having for breakfast are increasing your risk for a health disaster!

More interstingly is that researchers noted that low testosterone levels seemed to correlate significantly with mortality (death) rates when it came to other scary disease like cancer, not to mention stroke and heart attack.  They are of course still studying why this is, but chances are there are too many individual factors in addition to testosterone levels that may determine or predict one’s mortality levels. 

Teen Sex and Births at All Time High?

Well, it’s unclear whether there is a direct correlation between more teens actually having sex, or if more of them just happen to be more fertile or are throwing caution to the wind when it comes to birth control and STD protection, but teen births are reported to be at an all time high right now, something that is not good news after we just reported that teens seem to be making more of the better decisions when it comes to sex just a few months ago.

However, there may be some good news in the increase, since health officials and people that actually keep track of this sort of data are not sure of the reason for the sudden spike in teen births.  They actually say that they cannot find any reasons for the sudden spike in teen pregnancies and births, but they also say that because of that this may not be the beginning of an unwelcome trend toward teen pregnancies and the practice of unsafe sex, but rather may be somewhat of a statistical coincidence at this very time.

That means that they cannot find any evidence that this trend is continuing, but just that it “happened” to trip their radar at this time as an unrelated event to the actual trends that are happening in society right now.  With the Bush administration pushing abstinence only birth control and sex education programs, this is certainly not a good sign that it’s working, however researchers are clearly not willing to jump to the conclusion that this is a continuing trend, unless of course, time proves otherwise. 

Is it increases in male teen fertility due them taking some sort of super pill like the best multivitamins for men, or is it something less scientific (hee hee) like a simple dichotomy of statistical data where it just happens to correlatively increase at a certain time? 

Hmm, good question.  One thing’s for certain, if this pregnancy and teen birth trend continues, then we know we have to re-work the current sex education programs and focus more on safe sex, and preventing pregnancy and STD’s, since we obviously know kids are gonna do what they’re gonna do, and we cannot prevent them from doing that.  A lot of it comes down to parenting too. 

A parent’s values they instill in their kids, especially at a young age, should stick with them, and if a teenager is really educated as to what sex can do to you, both mentally and phyically, and the importance of not bringing a child into this world before you’re ready, then that at least gives these kids a foundation to go on and make their own educated decisions when it comes to sex. 

Now this is a far cry from bad parenting, which would be getting their kids sexual aids like deer antler plus and their girls female sexual enhancement products!  Talk about sending kids the wrong message about sex!  That’s like buying alcohol for your kids and telling them how bad drinking and alcoholism is, or telling them how bad it is to drink and drive, then buying them the liquor! 

Sex Clubs Outlawed in Residential Neighborhoods

Several complaints in a Texas neighborhood that sounds like neighbors may have been fairly close to one another has launched a bit of a scandal in a Texas town.  A man who owns a split level home had turned his home into a “sex club” which began to attract many swingers and alternative lifestyle pursuers after he turned it into a club of “free love” and even had a special “sex room” where swingers or curious fun seekers could enjoy the presence of eachother’s company, if you know what I mean. 

Well, once his neighbors got wind that the reason they were seeing so much traffic at their neighbor Jim’s house on the weekends, they were none too happy and several neighbors made complaints to authorities.  These complaints were heard, and actually since there were no local ordinances or any state laws prohibiting it yet, there was a law enacted that said that it was illegal for residential neighborhoods to house sex clubs. 

But frequenter’s of Jim’s sex club dubbed The Cherry Pit were not so readily accepting of the death sentence to their gathering place, and said that other’s moralities and ideas of what’s decent and appropriate was being forced down their throats, and the owner of the home says his defense is that whatever one does in the privacy of their own home is their own private business. 

He does have a point, however, I think if he were out in the middle of nowhere this case may have gone a bit differently.  When you have neighbors that can see what’s going on at your home, you really can’t be doing stuff as blatant as a sex club and think that you’re going to get away with it forever, you know? 

The club featured naked twister nights, and was in an upscale neighborhood that seemed to pride itself on family values and the fact that there was not a sex related business in the whole town – well, until Jim Turlocks’ Cherry Pit ruined that for them.  In response to the many complaints received from neighbors, the city did force the place to stop it’s “business” by saying that sex clubs in it’s residential city limits was not allowable.
