From childhood, males are generally taught to take care of their bodies by eating right, getting plenty of exercise, and seeing the doctor for regular well-checks. Unfortunately, few parents or doctors make it a point to discuss the finer points of male organ anatomy and care with their young boys, and as they reach adulthood, shyness or discomfort in talking about reproductive health matters leaves a large number of men with many questions and concerns, but nowhere to turn for the answers.

In order to address this problem, some of the most common concerns that men raise about male organ sensation, the appearance of their male organ, and the right approach to caring for the male organ are discussed here.

Q: My male organ is curved to one side (or up, or down) – am I deformed?

A: All men are different, and few of them have an arrow-straight male organ. The male equipment comes in all shapes, sizes, and styles of hanging, and most men have some degree of bending or curvature when their male organ is firm. In most cases this is normal. While men who have extreme bending that is painful or makes penetration difficult may have a condition known as Peyronie’s disease which merits medical attention, a slight hang to the left or right, or  even up or down, is perfectly natural.

Q: Even when the rest of my male organ is hard, the head is soft. Do I have male dysfunction?

A: The head of the male organ is meant to be softer than the rest of the member, even when it is fully firm. The softer tissue acts as a sort of shock absorber during penetration, and the flexibility of the tissue allows it to conform to the shape of a partner’s anatomy.

Q: I have a ring of bumps or warts around my male organ head. Do I have a partner-transmitted disease?

A: While any unusual bumps, lumps or pustules on the male organ should be checked out by a doctor, there is often a more benign explanation than a communicable disease. For instance, a ring of whitish or flesh-colored bumps around the crown of the male organ may be nothing more than pearly male papules, which are a normal anatomical variation and are not contagious.

Q: How much self-stimulation is too much?

A: The answer here really depends on the individual. A man who spends so much time getting off that he neglects other aspects of his life, such as his job, relationships, or other activities that he enjoys, then this may be seen as a problem to be addressed. Otherwise, self-pleasuring is generally normal and healthy; the key is to use a lube to prevent excessive friction of the skin, which can lead to loss of male organ sensation over time, and to avoid developing a sore male organ or dry, irritated skin.

Q: My male organ is not as sensitive as it used to be. Is there any way to improve male organ sensation?

A: Male organ sensation loss can occur for a variety of reasons, ranging from circulatory issues to nerve damage to psychological issues. In many cases, men can restore some degree of sensitivity with the right attention to male skin care and to addressing underlying health problems.

Q: The male organ does not require any special care, right?

A: Wrong! Although the male organ plays an important role in most men’s lives, the majority of men think that no special attention is needed besides a wash every now and then, and perhaps trimming the hedges for a more sleek appearance. However, the skin of the male organ is highly specialized and delicate, and it needs proper attention to keep functioning at its best. Applying a specially formulated male organ vitamin creme (most health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil) can help to ensure that the male skin, blood vessels and nerve cells receive the nutrients they need to function at their best, and to form healthy new tissue when the old cells die off.
