Part LXXXI

In the process of reading the current literature regarding penis rehabilitation after prostate surgery, I have been running into a lot of interesting information that might be useful to any guy interested in maintaining and improving his own sexual health. Widely-held myths are being busted wide open right and left.

Part of this is centered on the relationship thing, or, in particular what a guy should be doing to continue maintaining and building his sexual health in the absence of a sexual partner even if living alone without partner sex is what a guy wants to do for whatever reason he might have.

I know that a lot of guys seem to think that the involuntary erections that like to happen during the night are something of an embarrassing nuisance, not something that should rightfully be savored, enjoyed and even encouraged. But, I have read a bunch of different papers by doctors and other sexual health scholars and a common theme is that these multiple nighttime erection cycles are critical to maintaining penis health. Each of these erections engorges the penis with fresh oxygenated arterial blood, and this is crucial to penis health. One author claims that these nighttime erections put your penis into an exercise program analogous to an exercise program involving swimming, rowing, weight lifting and bike riding. As you exercise, the muscles getting hit with the exercise of getting fresh oxygenated blood. So think of what is happening in your penis as you get horny and start to get erect as exercise for your penis critical to your overall well-being.

One of the doctors I was reading was discussing post-surgery penis rehab. He noted that it is critical to restore blood flow to the penis as soon as possible after surgery and “I don’t care how you do this. Maybe with the help of a sexual partner, but maybe not. And, if you do not have a sexual partner masturbation achieves the same end.”

So, stimulating yourself is not only very enjoyable but is vital to your sexual health. The whole idea here is that guys need to think about having a regular exercise program for their penises just as they might have a regular exercise plan involving the rest of their bodies. Another popular way of accomplishing this is watching Internet porn videos. You can think of this as just another method of engorging the penis in oxygenated blood.

I know that many of my readers “enjoy” buying and wearing swim briefs, Lycra® compression gear, wrestling singlets, athletic supporters and maybe even super snug-fitting jeans. They have “lists” of skimpy and snug-fitting clothing items that tend to make them horny when worn. Maybe even the mere thought of being able to buy such an item will result in a groin-area response of this sort. Generally, any thought that results in the oozing of a few viscous, glistening drops of precum is also the kind of thought that will improve the oxygenation of and blood flow to the penis. So having these thoughts and enjoying these garments is a very good thing from a sexual health perspective.

I would have the same advice for guys who were once in a relationship with a sexual partner but now are not, for whatever reason. Living alone for a period of time can be quite enjoyable but in a different way from living with a sexual partner. For starters, you now have the opportunity to “do” some things to and with your own body that you might not have felt comfortable doing if another person was there. This goes all the way back to your teen years when you longed for everyone else to occasionally be completely out of the house so that you could “play” with yourself without fear of being “caught” or “interrupted.” Living alone without a regular sexual partner can be quite fun in this respect but you need to have a real plan in place for maintaining and improving your sexual health involving specific “exercises” that you are going to be doing.

I am going to be trying some things in the coming weeks and months that I hope to enjoy a lot but that I have never done before. These ideas oddly enough are an outgrowth of some videos I have been watching related to penis rehab post prostate surgery, but the same ideas could prove valuable for any guy who wants to maintain and improve his sexual health and especially for guys who for whatever reason do not have regular sex with a partner.
