Being diagnosed with a socially contracted disease is a nightmare for almost anyone. Some of these infections can be eliminated from the system with proper treatment, but not all diseases transmitted from an intimate partner can be cured, and the only option is lifelong management of the symptoms. Men who have a confirmed case of an incurable disease contracted from a partner often worry that they will be forced to spend the rest of their lives alone and abstain from intimacy permanently. Added to the pain of male organ sores, fear of social isolation and humiliation can lead to depression and anxiety and severely affect a man’s quality of life. In order to avoid this ordeal, knowing how to reduce the risk of contracting a disease from an intimate partner is essential. Even men who are already romantically active can benefit from the information here, as well as from exercising appropriate male organ care. Avoiding diseases transmitted by an intimate partner As any health expert will attest, the only fool-proof way for a man to be sure that he will not contract a disease from an intimate partner is to abstain from intimacy altogether, or to stick with only one partner who has already received a clean bill of health. However, for most guys, abstinence is unrealistic, and a significant number of men will have numerous intimate partners over the course of a lifetime. Therefore, it is necessary to take some precautionary measures, both before and after intimacy: 1. Barrier protection – Latex protection is the second best way, after abstinence, to avoid exposure to a disease by an intimate partner. In order for protection to be effective, it should be used all the time, every time. This means carrying a latex barrier at all times, because as most men will admit, it is all too common for the heat of the moment to overcome reason, and few men are likely to break off a steamy encounter to run to the nearest pharmacy. 2. Communication – While infectious diseases are usually the last thing on anyone’s mind when the mood is heating up, and talking about them can be extremely awkward, taking a few minutes to compare notes and reveal any concerns about past partners can save a lot of pain and humiliation in the long run. 3. Careful choice of partners – The greater the number of intimate partners a man has, the greater his risk of contracting a socially transmitted disease. Discretion in choosing partners is an important factor in reducing this risk. In the event that an unexpected opportunity presents itself, it may be wise to ask whether the momentary pleasure is worth a lifetime of aggravation and stress. At the very least, it is a good idea to be prepared at all times with a latex barrier or two at hand. 4. Self-exams and regular checkups – All men should keep an eye out for unusual growths or lesions on their male organ, as well as elsewhere on their body. In some cases, finding signs of an infection in the early stages can make it easier to treat the condition and avoid spreading it to others. Yearly checkups by a doctor are also recommended as a preventive measure. In addition, men may want to consider vaccination for HPV (human papillomavirus), a common disease that can cause warts in the private area and is easily passed between intimate partners. 5. Hygiene – Finally, taking proper care of the male organ can help men to spot problems before they get out of hand or to avoid them altogether. Keeping the male organ and surrounding area clean can reduce the chances of contracting or passing on conditions like yeast infection or HPV, and urinating and then washing with a mild cleanser and warm water following intimate relations can help to eliminate harmful bacteria from the surface of the skin. Applying a male organ health formula (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil) containing essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants (powerful disease-fighting agents) may help to boost the body’s defenses, protect the skin against outside invaders, and improve the overall look and feel of the male organ.
