We have all come to expect the arrival of erectile dysfunction as a natural and unavoidable side effect of growing old; however, most of us like to pretend that erectile dysfunction does not affect younger men with some degree of regularity. Younger men can be affected by various forms of sexual dysfunction such as low libido, delayed orgasm, premature ejaculation, and of course erectile dysfunction.

Erectile dysfunction is a field that has been studied thoroughly over the past one hundred years, and advancements in medical knowledge have enabled a deeper understanding of the risk factors related to the sudden appearance of premature erectile dysfunction. Nevertheless, most of the previous clinical investigations have focused on patients of advanced age with specific cardiovascular illness. However, the incidence of erectile dysfunction in young men who do not have a clinical cardiovascular disease has not been entirely explained.

In a recent study published in the International Journal of Impotence Research, the role of dietary factors concerning erectile dysfunction was addressed. In this study, a total of 100 young men with confirmed erectile dysfunction were compared with 100 young men without erectile dysfunction. The prevalence of known risk factors such as hypertension and hypercholesterolemia was adjusted for so that only individual dietary intake was measured against the incidence of erectile dysfunction.

Dietary intake was assessed and calculated with regard to the consumption of approximately 140 foods and beverages. The study concluded that subjects who were heavier and had a higher body mass index were more likely to develop erectile dysfunction prematurely. It was also observed that the intake of vegetables, fruits, nuts, and healthy fats was significantly lower in patients who presented erectile dysfunction. Thus the study concluded that young men with erectile dysfunction often lead lives rife with unhealthy dietary patterns.

Doctor Andre Guay published a study in 1998 that concluded that stopping cigarette smoking significantly improved men’s ability to attain and retain erections. According to the data released, a marked improvement was seen in the tumescence and rigidity of the subjects’ penises as promptly as 24 hours after the cessation of tobacco inhalation. Smoking is thought to induce erectile dysfunction by affecting arteriosclerotic vascular integrity. The fact that millions of men between the ages of 20 and 40 smoke regularly is statistically significant to the incidence of erectile dysfunction in younger men.

Another critical risk factor to consider regarding the prevalence of erectile dysfunction in young men is the generalized levels of stress and anxiety that run rampant in today’s society. Work commitments, familial responsibilities, and of course sexual performance anxiety are constant sources of stress and have been demonstrated to increase erectile dysfunction. Stress has long been known to cause an uptick in the production of cortisol, and increased levels of cortisol are known to reduce blood testosterone levels in men significantly. Reduced testosterone has the unfortunate side effect of lowering libido and increasing the probability of developing sexual dysfunction.

Thankfully, experiencing a bout of erectile dysfunction is not without solution, especially in younger men. By adopting specific lifestyle habits such as a modified diet, a reduction in the consumption of tobacco products, and appropriate stress management young men can go a long way in treating and curing erectile dysfunction.

We’ve all been there at some time or another, the orgasms are still as intense, but it seems we’re running on empty in the white stuff department. Dwindling supplies of semen can happen for a plethora of reasons.

Maybe you’ve noticed that with age your body has become unable to produce as much semen as it did when you were younger. Or, perhaps as a result of your insatiable sexual appetite, your body is unable to bridge the gap between supply and demand. Whether genetic or otherwise, all men can experience a reduction in their semen volume at some point in their lives, and it’s usually nothing to worry or obsess about.

While being short on semen may have no direct impact on your sexual function or performance in the bedroom, it may have an effect on your self esteem and confidence. And it’s primarily because of these confidence related issues, that more and more semen improvement products now litter the male enhancement marketplace.

These mystical pills supposedly filled with rare plant substances gathered by monks from some of the most remote places in the world, not only promise to add inches to your manhood, but also promise to help you blow bigger loads, thus enabling you to radiate and bask in a renewed sense of masculinity.

For this article we’ll free ourselves from the disillusion that magical pills and beans hold the answer to everything, and instead focus on proven everyday methods that can help you manufacture more semen.

Abstinence

Maybe days or weeks have passed since you last ejaculated, and then you explode like a volcano producing more semen than you normally would do with several orgasms combined. Well, this neat little trick is purely one of abstinence, that will surely impress you and possibly your partner more than any pill on the market. However, some individuals can often reach the point of diminishing returns sooner rather than later. Meaning that 3 or 4 days may provide the optimal peak point of volume, and anything longer is pleasure foregone.

Edging

What does edging mean? The concise explanation for edging would be the purposeful act of building your orgasm up to the point of climax and then balancing on the edge. The more series of build ups you get, the bigger your orgasm will be. Edging can sometimes be a highly disciplined act for many men to master, due to the self control needed. But the reward makes the wait a blissfully worthwhile one.

Diet

Another important factor in helping to keep your semen levels high is your general physical health, specifically, what you put in to your body. A good diet and plenty of water will ensure your body has all it needs to produce plenty of semen.

Zinc is a big player in the semen volume and testosterone stakes. If you’re unable to consume the quantities needed from food alone, think about supplements. The optimal daily allowance is about 20mg, with the average diet giving you about 10mg.

If you do decide to ramp this amount up beyond the optimal amount, then do so only for short periods before giving your body a break. Amounts which continuously exceed 100mg daily may prove more harmful than beneficial in the long run.

1. Celery

A lot of men swear by celery for helping to improve their semen levels. On the surface it sounds like a bit of an old wife’s tale. But nevertheless, there are numerous accounts of men online who say that by consuming 3-4 stalks a day (often coated in peanut butter) they saw an increase in their semen amount.

Protein intake has been linked to semen volume, so its likely that the rich abundance of protein found in nuts could explain some of this increase in semen. Of course, one should always be wary of claims when connected to brand names, but there’s no monetary motivation for individuals espousing the benefits of celery and peanut butter! Unless its a celery farmer with acres of the green crop he just can’t sell.

2. Bananas
Want to increase your libido, stamina and sex drive? Maybe you should eat a banana per day instead of an apple. Bananas contain an enzyme called Bromelain and stamina producing vitamin B.

3. Dark Chocolate
Rich dark chocolate contains L-Arginine HCL. This amino acid is proven to double semen and sperm volume. L-Arginine HCL could also boost your pleasure by giving you more intense orgasms, an added perk!

4. Oysters
Oysters contain that all important trusty ingredient zinc, that can help boost testosterone. Testosterone controls sex drive, virility, energy and fertility. Oysters can also act as aphrodisiacs, putting you in the mood for sex more often.

5. Maca
Maca is a plant from Peru where the people swear by its powers. In a 12 week study, men took 1,500 to 3,000 milligrams of maca extract per day. They reported increased semen quantity, sperm volume and sperm motility. The trial subjects also reported an increase in sexual desire. However, there are many different strains, grades and strengths out there, so trying to find the right one that offers good results can be a bit of a hit and miss affair.

6. Walnuts
Walnuts are packed with natural omega-3 fatty acids. These omega-3’s have been found to increase blood flow to the genitals and increase sperm count. What is also great is that eating walnuts will also reduce your risk or heart attack and lower your cholesterol. Plus walnuts contain almost twice as much antioxidants any other nut. An overall healthier body leads to a healthier fertility and a more active sex life.

Many of us are creatures of habit. Whether its taking the same route to work everyday, eating the same meal or simply pleasuring ourselves in the same old way. It’s worked well this way for many years, so why should we change? As the old saying goes: If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. This may be true to a point, however, if you don’t open the door to new experiences, you’ll never know what you may be missing out on.

Whether its trying tasty new recipes in the kitchen or experimenting with exciting new ways to make love or masturbate in the bedroom, it can all help to broaden your appreciation of what life has to offer. And experimenting with masturbation is no exception when it comes to seeing how green the grass is on the other side. Masturbation techniques are often learned from a young age and usually remain the same as the years roll by. Yet, there are many different methods that may help to add a bit more spice to an otherwise jaded jerking off routine.

As you’ll see below, there can be a little more variation when it comes to masturbation than the standard five knuckle shuffle, that probably most men have been practicing since the Stone Age. So why not switch things up now and then with these five new tail tickling techniques, to help keep things fun and fresh when you’re enjoying some alone time.

1. The Hand. This chilling yet thrilling masturbation technique is a real Halloween treat, that’s sure to get your tail in a spin and your heart racing. A method once only known to just a select few in hushed circles, has now grown in popularity as more men hear about it through the grapevine. When it comes to masturbation, the trick is to deceive your penis into believing your hand is a vagina, or a woman’s hand for that matter.

So, “The Hand” method draws neatly on this premise by offering your penis something it doesn’t feel is already a part of you. Here’s how its done: Sit on which ever hand you plan to use until it goes numb and loses sensation, then put it to work. At first it may be awkward masturbating when your hand is numb, but with a bit of practice it becomes easier and feels like the hand truly belongs to someone else.

2. The Eternal Vagina. A quirky spin on the basic five knuckle shuffle we all know and love. However, instead of keeping only one hand clamped to your penis in a rhythmic up and down motion, this method utilizes both hands. The way its performed is like this: Apply a little lubrication to both hands, and then slide the first hand down the penis using a loose or tight fisted grip. As soon as the glands pops into view, slide the other hand down the penis to the base of the shaft. Continue this action of alternating between both hands until the inevitable climatic finale.

3. Hot Dog. Who doesn’t love a nice frankfurter served hot on a bun? Well, this method that we’ve aptly named the “Hot Dog”, calls into play your belly and one lubed up hand which acts as the bun. Your penis then gets comfortably sandwiched between these two opposing forces to create the much needed heat and friction. It’s simple: Get an erection then lay it flat against your stomach, and then use the hand with lubrication to rhythmically rub your penis. You can start with just one finger, then ratchet up the sensation by adding more and rubbing in different directions. It’s delightfully simple yet highly effective.

4. The Lonely Hand. Whether you’re right or left handed, it’s quite possible that you’ve neglected the other weaker hand for many years when its come to ‘play time’. The idea behind this method of masturbation, is to bring your less dominant hand to the party to enjoy the fun. Aside from giving your main shuffle hand a break, it offers your penis a refreshing experience by shifting the sensation of pressure, angle and speed. Your penis has been used to being handled by the same hand for many years, so this will come as a welcome relief.

5. The Mattress Mistress. We’ve saved the best to last here, with our 5 fun and inventive ways to masturbate. Some of you may of already heard about this awesome ‘hands free’ technique before. Whatever you choose to call it, when it comes to masturbation, it really is about as close as you’ll ever get to feeling like its the real thing.

Here’s the basic setup: Find a soft towel or something similar and place it folded between the base of the bed and the mattress. Next, insert your erect penis between aforementioned and start thrusting. You can experiment with this method by lubing up the material, or placing weights on the bed for a snugger and tighter fit. The only limit here is your imagination, so enjoy!
