Sexual "misconceptions" that men should avoid
There are many long-standing and widespread misconceptions about male sexual function, which often cause anxiety among men who lack sex science knowledge.
Over the past decade, knowledge of men's health has developed rapidly. It is necessary to dispel the fog, clarify the facts, and relieve men from unnecessary psychological burdens.
(1) Misconceptions about semen: Some people have a saying: "One drop of semen is equal to ten drops of blood" and "Ejaculation will greatly damage one's vital energy".
In fact, ejaculation is a normal physiological phenomenon. Each ejaculation contains 2 to 6 milliliters, of which seminal plasma accounts for 95% and sperm accounts for less than 1%. The main component of seminal plasma is water, which accounts for more than 90%.
Therefore, ejaculation will not greatly deplete one's vital energy.
On the contrary, ejaculation can be beneficial for the recovery from diseases such as chronic prostatitis.
(2) Misconceptions about the hymen: During the first sexual intercourse, the bride's hymen will rupture, accompanied by mild pain and a small amount of bleeding, which is normal.
However, some grooms suspect that their brides are not virgins if they do not see any rouge during their first sexual intercourse, which is unreliable.
In fact, there are many reasons that can cause this, such as the man's actions during intercourse, premarital injuries, and exercise, all of which can cause the hymen to rupture.
Both husband and wife should trust and respect each other, and treat "wedding night" with a correct and scientific attitude.
(3) Misconceptions about penis size: Some people believe that the larger the penis, the stronger the sexual ability, and that their penis is "small" and will affect their sex life.
In fact, the average length of the penis is 4.9 to 8.6 centimeters. When the penis is fully erect, it can more than double in length. The increase in length during erection is much greater for a small penis than for a large penis.
Furthermore, female sexual satisfaction is not related to penis size.
Therefore, men do not need to worry about the size of their penis.
(4) Misunderstandings about masturbation: Unscientific understanding of masturbation torments thousands of men, causing them to worry, be terrified, and even live in constant fear.
In fact, masturbation itself is a very natural phenomenon and has no effect on sexual function.
However, this does not mean that masturbation is encouraged. It should be approached scientifically, and those who can abstain should do so.
(5) Misconceptions about the relationship between sexual ability and age: All cultural traditions and social customs take it for granted that men will inevitably become impotent when they enter old age.
In fact, while the sexual ability of older adults may decline with age, it is not inevitable.
They also have sexual desires and normal sexual function. As people's living standards improve, an aging society is on the horizon. We must pay attention to the sexual rights of the elderly and focus on their quality of life.

Men should also pay attention to the hygiene of their genitals.
Gynecologists often come to our urology department saying that their wives frequently suffer from vaginitis or pelvic inflammatory disease, and they ask us to check if their husbands have phimosis or balanitis. Why is that? It turns out that the tip of the male reproductive organ-the penis-is a mushroom-shaped enlargement called the glans penis.
The penis is covered by thin skin with no subcutaneous fat. In the non-erect state, part of the skin of the penis overlaps at the coronal sulcus and covers the posterior half of the glans penis, which is called the foreskin.
If the foreskin is too long or there is phimosis, the small sebaceous glands at the junction of the inner surface of the foreskin and the glans penis will continuously secrete a pale yellow oily substance. This substance mixes with a small amount of urine and shed skin to form a cheesy substance, which is called "smegma".
If smegma adheres to the surface of the glans penis or accumulates in the coronal sulcus for a long time, it can easily create an opportunity for bacterial growth and cause inflammation.
A penis carrying bacteria or that is inflamed can transmit bacteria to a woman's vagina during sexual intercourse, causing her to develop vaginitis or other diseases, and the inflammation of the penis can also affect sexual intercourse.
Therefore, the penis and foreskin should be washed frequently to prevent the accumulation of pathogens.
It is clear that keeping a man's external genitalia clean and hygienic is not only beneficial to his own health, but also related to the health of his wife, which is a great responsibility.

Preventing premature sexual failure
The strength of a man's sexual function is closely related to his health.
As people age, sexual function also declines with age; this is an undeniable fact.
How to prevent premature aging or loss of sexual function is a major concern for most people.
To prevent premature sexual aging, efforts should begin in adulthood, and the following points should be noted:
(1) To prevent sexual activity from becoming monotonous.
Monotonous and boring sexual activity leads to a loss of interest in intercourse. Years of living together have made the man understand every wish, interest and expression of the woman very well, thus losing the stimulation that should be there for him.
Couples should maintain regular sexual function and vary their sexual activity, such as by using different sexual positions, which is very beneficial for maintaining a harmonious sex life in the long term.
(2) While pursuing career success, do not neglect marital relationships.
In the ever-changing and competitive world of men, they need to focus all their attention on pursuing the greatest success for themselves or their families. When they encounter setbacks, they feel very uncomfortable and often lose interest in sex.
At this time, the comfort and help from one's wife and family will play a significant role.
(3) Prevent mental and physical fatigue.
Fatigue is a significant factor in decreased libido. According to the competitive male world, professional, income-related, personal, and family emergencies can severely suppress sexual interest.
(4) Pay attention to regular lifestyle and diet.
Maintain a regular lifestyle, avoid smoking and drinking, strengthen physical exercise, and keep your energy levels high.
(5) Sexual life should follow certain rules and avoid excess. Avoid interference from family and social factors.
It is not advisable to eat too much before sexual intercourse. The weather should be suitable. When starting intercourse, the penis should be inserted shallowly and slowly to avoid rapid and forceful insertion.
Do not do things beyond your capabilities, do not indulge in excessive sexual activity, take extra care of the function of your sexual organs to make them strong and healthy, and approach sexual activity with a relaxed and gentle approach.
(6) Treat illnesses early.
