More masturbation techniques - part I
December 10th, 2007
Pleasure is only limited by your imagination and by the body-s physical limitations. Sex is one of the key areas of life where humans must keep improvising and coming up with new things in order to avoid trading pleasure for a routine that does no good to anybody. Therefore, men and women have to turn to their imagination in order to find new ways of making sex feel good. It might be a new position, acting out a fantasy or even closing your eyes and thinking about somebody else. Whatever it is, people have to let their minds and instincts take over if they want to feel that precious rush.
This is why I have compiled a list of masturbation positions and techniques that you can try at home whenever you feel like it.
The first one on the list aims to simulate the feeling of a tight vagina closing in around the penis. This technique requires you to lie on your side and grasp the penis with the right hand. Go with a full fisted grip, but make sure you grab your penis from the left and not from the right, as per the usual grip or a right-handed man. Then you twist your wrist in such a way that the thumb is pointing down instead of up. You might have to pull the penis to the side in order to achieve the correct grip, but don-t worry about it because the position is perfectly natural. Now complete the movement and lay face-down on the bed with the penis in your hand. Start thrusting using your pelvis and hips, while keeping your hand very still.
A very different technique, suited mostly for those who are eager to play with themselves for a good long time in order to achieve a strong orgasm the slow way is to stimulate only the tip of the penis. Spread lubricant on one of your palms and start rubbing the tip of the penis against it. You should try to change the speed of rubbing every now and then in order to experience the all the sensations this technique has to offer.
Those who like do the whole thrusting thing should also try a nice technique whose purpose is to create the unique feeling of sliding into a vagina that does not end. It may sound strange, but this is one very good position. So grab your penis in a full-fisted grip and push the tip upward through the fingers. When the tip of the penis is about to burst through, place your left hand on top of the right hand in order to form a continuous tunnel. Then repeat the movement by removing your right hand from the base of the penis and placing it on top of the left hand. Keep the penis surrounded by your fingers at all times and you are in the never-ending vagina.
Alternatively, you could try a powerful milking technique to get yourself a true rush. Lubricate your hands and make a ring around the base of the penis using the thumb and middle finger of one hand. Move the ring all the way up to the tip of the penis. Just as you reach the tip, form a similar ring at the base of the penis with the other hand. Milk your penis for all it-s worth. Men who use this technique claim to experience amazing erections and orgasms.
For more solitary thrills you may want to try a really special technique. It goes like this- hold the base of the penis firmly in one hand. Place the other hand on the shaft and move upward in a spiral-like movement. You should give extra attention to the tip of the glans and caress it in order to squeeze as much pleasure as possible from this technique. When you feel you are about to reach climax, move both hands just underneath the tip and use them in powerful circular motions in order to get yourself over the edge.
Add a delicate touch to your self-pleasure session with one of the most gentle techniques around. Gather the loose part of the foreskin located just below the tip of the penis and rub it gently with your fingers. What you want to do is to rub your fingers together through the skin. The sensation is very pleasing and relaxing and the orgasm is a slow, but powerful rush.
Erectile Dysfunction - a review
December 10th, 2007
Despite years of progress and accumulated changes in the world view of each generation, it is safe to say that sexual dysfunctions are still a sensitive issue for men. Shame and embarrassment made sexual dysfunction a taboo subject in polite company for a long time, which gave it a prominent position in the urban legends and endorsed dozens of folk remedies of doubtful effectiveness. Modern times have brought a certain change of attitude, but the issue is still a touchy one and best left alone. The launching of Viagra in the -90s and the huge marketing campaign has shed some light on erectile dysfunction, since men who found a solution in these pills are no longer ashamed to admit their past problems.
Erectile dysfunctions have both physiological and psychological causes. Many such causes are medically reversible, others are not. Any condition that interferes with the flow of blood through the body is bound to have a negative impact on a man-s sex life. Diabetes is a good example of a disease hampering blood flow, as are kidney diseases, chronic alcoholism and multiple sclerosis. Men suffering from heart conditions or high blood pressure know that the drugs they take to avoid strokes are detrimental to what is known as a healthy sex life. Physical injury to the penis, spinal cord, prostate, bladder, pelvis or the nerves and arteries ear the penis and which are responsible for erections can be a factor causing erectile dysfunction.
On the psychological side, depression and the drugs associated with it interfere with erections. The same goes for feelings of anxiety, insecurity, low self-esteem and shame. Stress is another major cause of temporary erectile dysfunction, especially in today-s world. A history of erectile dysfunction also triggers patterns of depression and inadequacy that lead to further sexual failures. All these physiological and psychological problems are compounded by vices. Heavy consumption of alcohol, tobacco or drugs is extremely bad for the cardiovascular system. Tobacco clogs the arteries and disrupts the flow of blood, while alcohol consumption makes it harder for a man to achieve both erection and orgasm.
Since the issue is very sensitive, it is impossible to know how many men suffer from this dysfunction. It has been estimated that about 5 percent of 40-year-old men and 25 percent of 65-year-old men suffer from erectile dysfunction. The first major step to treating erectile dysfunction is to acknowledge the problem and to seek help. The second major step is to identify which approach suits the patient best. If the problem stems from feelings of depression and stress, then the patient should turn for a while to a life of relaxation, physical activity and socializing. Going to the gym or running in the park is a wonderful way to drive depression away because of both the physical exertion and socializing components involved. Working out is also a good way to strengthen the cardiovascular system and improve blood flow.
If the cause is a disease that hinders the flow of blood, doctors are likely to consider the use of vacuum devices or surgically implanted prostheses in order to achieve erection. People suffering from diabetes have few other options and have to turn to devices. But most people can get by with drugs that promote the flow of blood to the penis. Viagra, Levitra and Cialis are already famous for their effects, although men suffering from heart conditions should see a physician before touching the stuff. Other pills, like ProSolution Pills, are less radical in approach, but nearly as effective as the three brands mentioned above. Those who like a natural solution that has the advantage of originality, can also try penis exercises, like those made popular by the Penis Health program, to stimulate the flow of blood without any drugs or devices.
Do Men Burn More Fat than Women?
December 10th, 2007
Men and women are not built the same way. There is something different in our bodies due to the way hormones change the balance between muscle and fat and shape the size of our bones to respond to different needs later on. In men, the testosterone hormone determines the size of bones, causes hair growth and deepens the voice. It also regulates the size of the muscle mass, which it turn regulates the metabolism. The more muscle mass, the faster a person burns the calories obtained from food, which is one of the big differences between men and women and between overweight people and those who are fit.
It-s an easily recognizable fact that men and women training side by side do not have the same results. Recent studies have found that women gain weight faster than men and that they have a harder time getting rid of it through exercise. It seems that women have the misfortune of being stuck with the worst part of the weight loss process and also with having to work twice as hard as men to stay in shape. And since this is no easy task for men, you can imagine how bad the ladies have it.
Another thing that makes it even worse for the ladies is the modern obsession with a thin body. Repeated attempts to drop the extra pounds teach the body to hang on to the existing fat and so weight loss becomes harder and harder as the years pass, while the women become more and more desperate and willing to try even half-baked ideas that should simply be avoided. This leads to dieting that makes the person thinner, but not healthier. Quite on the contrary actually, since there are enough emaciated, rail-thin ladies around to serve as example.
A recent study published by the BBC showed that 62 obese women who exercised 4 hours per week and learnt how to cook healthier meals felt a tremendous improvement in their self-image. They lost only 9 pounds over three months, but their blood pressure, cholesterol and heart rates were far better. And they felt much better. So, maybe women should start to move away from achieving a certain weight to just staying healthy and feeling good regardless of weight. Maybe this is indeed the future of the weight loss industry- to help people feel better about themselves instead of harming their bodies while chasing a dream.
