It’s a given that a man is occasionally going to experience a sore penis throughout his lifetime; there’s no 100% effective prevention tip available to ensure that there will never be soreness, especially after a night of rough or especially vigorous sexual activity. Common, everyday penile soreness is a small price to pay now and then for the joy that one experiences during such sexual encounters; however, taking steps to practice appropriate penis health, and to avoid instances that can cause more serious penile soreness, can help to keep one’s manhood both happy and free from pain.
What causes a sore penis?
There can be any number of reasons that a man’s penis becomes sore or raw. For example:
Weather-related issues. Ever visit a nude beach? Exposing a tool that is accustomed to being kept in a dark place to tons of direct sunlight can definitely cause soreness. However, even a well-covered member can have negative reactions to extremes in weather. An especially hot day can lead to even more sweat accumulation in the crotch than usual, causing itchiness and irritation. During the winter, frigid winds blow through clothing and can cause chapping and dryness of the tool, leading to tenderness.
Penile injury. In films, an actor getting hit in the balls with a speeding baseball is a cause for laughs; in real life, as men know all too well, a swift blow to the groin can result in significant pain and soreness. Direct penis injuries of this sort are usually due to accidents such as that just described; however, sometimes a man can suffer penile injury and subsequent soreness during sex. It’s rare, but occasionally a man will thrust too vigorously and at an unfortunate angle so that his manhood hits a rather solid obstacle. In some cases, actual fracturing can occur; in most cases, it’s more a matter of bruising and transient pain.
Clothing concerns. What a guy wears can have an impact on how his penis feels. Wearing underwear or trousers that are too rough can cause the penile skin to become chafed. Clothing that is washed in a harsh detergent may spread chemicals onto the tool that cause irritation and rawness. Clothing that is too tight in the crotch can intensify the likelihood of soreness.
Sexual friction. Some friction in sex is good; an appropriate degree is what stimulates the penis on its path to a glorious orgasm. However, the nerves in the penis are extremely sensitive; too much friction can overload them, leading to a penis that is so tender that the slightest touch produces pain. Unfortunately, men often don’t realize that they are subjecting the penis to too much friction until it is too late.
Sexual friction can occur whether one is masturbating or engaging in partner sex. When masturbating, it may occur whether one is going for a “quickie” or indulging oneself in a session that lasts for a long time. When concentrating on shooting a load as quickly as possible, a man is likely to rub the penis especially roughly or with an exceptionally tight grip; both of these can cause too much friction. When spreading the experience out over a long period of time, the sheer amount of time spent fondling the penis may result in excess friction. In addition, of course, neglecting to use a sufficient amount of lubricant or masturbating with a heavily-calloused hand can also create frictional situations. Excess friction while coupling tends to be related to a lack of sufficient lubrication.
Clearly, prevention is key to avoiding a sore penis. In addition to wearing soft clothes, avoiding extremes of weather and using abundant lubrication, a man can also regularly apply a top-drawer penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) to his member. A crème with a combination of a high-end emollient (such as Shea butter) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin E) can provide moisturizing relief to a sore penis. In addition, one that is rich in vitamins C and D can help strengthen the skin for greater resilience against friction.
