Readers, you need to take a moment. All of you men out there are going to want to take a deep breath. This is extremely important. If you are roughly between the ages of forty five and fifty five, you may soon start or already be experiencing the symptoms of male menopause. People have been laughing it off as a myth for years, but it is true. Male menopause does exist and some men do go through it.

Nowadays, it is just as taboo as female menopause once was, not so long ago. You do not talk about it. You do not look into it. You definitely do not go to the doctor for it. Heck, you try not to even think about it. At some point, though, you have to think about it. You need to talk about it as well, and it definitely would not hurt to go see your doctor. But there is something you must do before accomplishing any of these other things. You need to learn about male menopause; you need to keep yourself informed about it. Understanding it is going to help you recognize the symptoms. Recognizing them can help you combat them.

A lot of men seem to take issue with the fact that this process is called male menopause - the latter word being the problem. Menopause is something through which women go, not men - right? Men’s bodies do not start producing lower levels of estrogen! It simply cannot be! So perhaps calling it by a different name will help obliterate the stigma and eradicate the taboo associated with male menopause. It is also called andropause. It gets its name from androgen, which is a hormone. Along with testosterone, it is as essential to men as estrogen is to women.

Hormones are also the main catalyst behind male menopause. Specifically, testosterone is the problem - and lower amounts of it. It must be said that not a lot is known about andropause. Doctors and scientists are not sure why some men get it and others do not. You see, while female menopause and andropause are similar in a number of ways, there are enormous differences as well.

One of them is the fact that not every men will go through male menopause, while for women the process is inevitable. Some men simply do not deal with it. Others go through it naturally. For still others, it is sometimes caused by health and medical problems which affect the amount of testosterone produced by your body anyway. These include problems with the immune system and cardiovascular diseases.

The testosterone is to men what estrogen is to women. As such, the lack thereof manifests in similar ways in both genders as well. You see, for men, testosterone is vital, aiding in the production of sperm and the strength of a man’s musculature. When its levels drop, the effects can be debilitating.

Although men do not become infertile or lose their sex drives completely, they do share a number of other menopausal symptoms with women. For instance, men suffer through hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, insomnia, and exhaustion. However, there is also no denying the fact that for men, then symptoms are generally less intense than they are for women.

Good things are happening in the world of men’s health and fitness - and they’ve been slowly improving for a while now. A perfect example of the kind of positive progress I’m referring to is in the subject of male sexual health, namely: premature ejaculation.

That’s quite a daunting, almost terminal-sounding term. But in essence, all it really means is that your performance in bed - its length in minutes, or maybe even seconds - isn’t something you’re happy with. If you’ve recognized that your sexual abilities aren’t quite up to scratch and have therefore decided to seek an answer to the problem (a way of massively improving your lasting power FOREVER) then you’re already way, way ahead of most guys who share the same concerns as you over their love-making prowess. And let’s face it: what guy WOULDN’T love to quickly and permanently boost their sexual skills?

So, what do most men already know about how to extend sex? Well, I suppose there’s the old classic: taking your mind off it. You can think of non-sexual things, like dead animals, or perhaps try difficult mental arithmetic. This technique works some of the time, for some men. Another method of lasting longer many men try is wearing two condoms, to decrease the sexual sensation and thereby lengthen their performance. Again, this sometimes works for some guys.

I think you’ve probably already spotted the problem with both of these methods, though - they decrease your fun and enjoyment. Sex should be exciting and hassle free! Negative thoughts have no place in great sex. And wearing two condoms, while it may give you a little more time to work your magic, can actually cause more problems than it solves - like a tear caused by a trapped air bubble. That’s the last thing you need.

Thankfully, many simple and stress-free techniques exist that can be used instead of the two above. Combining just a few of the most effective of these methods is often enough to eradicate the problem of premature ejaculation forever. Let’s take a look at one of the best right now: Breath Control.

“The way I breathe? I doubt that has much effect on my sexual performance!”

Most men are right to be sceptical - especially considering the fact that many of us guys have tried controlling our breathing while having sex without any noticeable improvement. The reason we don’t see much difference in performance length and overall impressiveness, quite simply, is because we’re not doing it right. We’ve summarized the technique of deep breathing in our heads and in so doing removed any benefit PROPER breath control can have for us fellas while getting down and dirty.

Let’s look at how it SHOULD be done:

1. Keep your focus on your lower torso. As you breathe in, push out your belly and your lower ribs. Don’t suck your stomach in like most people do when they try to breathe deeply. Think of the breathing action as going out and in rather than up and down. If your chest moves before your belly, or you notice your shoulders rising and falling significantly, you’ll simply reinforce the habit of anxious breathing. Anxious breathing massively decreases your ability to control your sexual arousal. Deep breathing does the reverse and gives you the control back.

2. Keep the breathing natural; don’t try to force it to be perfectly regular. Allow each breath to take the shape and time that feels natural to it. Then rest a little at the end of the out-breath, and wait for the in-breath to start when it wants to. Forcing regular breathing during sex, which MILLIONS of men do daily in, actually creates more mental anxiety than it eradicates. Keeping it natural and unforced further de-stresses your mind and by doing so gives you heightened control over your body - namely, your sexual pleasure.

There’s a multitude of other 100% natural, easy to learn and even easier to use, techniques that can - however much of a surprise it comes as to most men - enhance your performance in bed. You can it make it longer and much more pleasurable to your and your woman, without the pills, sprays or creams so many other men who seek an answer to premature ejaculation use to disappointing effect.

Practice the deep breathing technique above, use it during sex and reap the sexual control benefits! Then, if you want to improve still further, learn and use a few other great arousal management methods.

You have seen it, read it, heard all the hype about it. Unscrupulous advertisers want you to believe that penis pills can help you get a bigger penis, magically. You don’t have to do anything besides swallowing a bunch of pills. Does this work? Don’t bet on it.

There is absolutely no proof that penis pills, by themselves, can ever increase the size of your member permanently. Yes, these pills do improve blood flow which will make your penis bulge more and increase in size during an erection. But this tend to be temporary because there is not enough traction to cause cell multiplication (the real basis for getting a bigger shaft).

Does that mean that you are doomed to live with a small manhood? Not really. There are ways and means to get bigger. Does it mean that pills are useless? Again, no. Pills have different functions and although this may surprise you, penile enhancing pills can make the enlargement process quicker for you if you use them with the methods below. Besides herbal pills can help strengthen your erections, improve semen production, etc but that’s another story.

Here’s how you can get a bigger penis without resorting to surgery:-

1) By doing enlarging exercises (called Jelqing)

… this method is an ancient one that has worked for many men. It involves pulling and stretching the penis with a series of exercises that aim to encourage tissue growth. This is not masturbation. Jelqing requires lots of discipline and time.

2) By using a traction device or stretcher

… this is a scientifically proven method to encourage penile tissue growth which will result in a meatier and longer shaft. Basically, it involves stretching the penis with a traction device which will exert a small and safe force on the length of the penis. You need to wear the device for a few hours daily. You can wear it under loose clothings quite comfortably.

So that’s the truth. Pills alone cannot help you get a bigger manhood. But if you combine pills with the above 2 enlargement methods, you can get optimal results. This is because the pills provide nourishment and improved blood flow to the penis, factors which will help accelerate the enlargement process. Penile pills can also give you harder erections, bigger ejaculations, higher libido, etc, so they are an added advantage.

As always, please do your due diligence or research before spending a dime on any enlargement products. Why? Because there are lots of inferior products on the market and you don’t want to waste your money on those.

Don’t have time for research? Then check out how the ProSolution Pills system consisting of penis pills plus Jelqing exericse program can get you a permanently bigger penis. Also check out the #1 rated penis traction device, Size Genetics .

The three most common sex positions that involve the woman being in control of the action are, of course, her on top facing you (cowgirl), her on top facing away from you (reverse cowgirl) and doggy style.

Doggy style might at first seem like a position in which the man is in control, but in reality, quite often the girl will start to move backwards and forwards, and well, you get the idea. She takes control and the guy stands or kneels as the action goes on. So, with these two positions in mind, how do you control your stimulation levels without stopping the action? Well, you don’t. You use the Distract and Direct technique. Here’s how. Let’s say your partner is on top of you, in cowgirl. She’d riding you and it’s all good. Then you start to feel yourself moving rapidly up the stimulation scale, past a 5 and towards a 7.

To clarify, the stimulation scale is something you can use in your head to identify how stimulated you are and therefore how close you are to reaching your climax. 0 is not stimulated at all. 3 is somewhat stimulated but still in total control. 6 is where you really start to feel stimulated. If you carried on with this level of stimulation, you’d rise to the next number on the scale: 7. 7 is where you’re very sexually stimulated. When you go above a 7 on the stimulation scale, you get close to the point of no return which is a 9. Passing the point of no return means you’re definitely going to ejaculate, no matter what you do.

By the time you reach 7 on this scale, you want to know that you’re going to be able to adjust the action in a such a way that will allow you to slowly bring your stimulation level back down. Here’s how. She’s riding you and has been doing so for a minute or two. You reach 7 on the scale. You say to her, “That feels so good. Come here, I want to kiss you.” She’ll then bend down to kiss you, so instead of sitting up straight, she’s now on top of you, with her head near yours and her chest pretty much parallel to your torso. Start kissing her and slowly take over the action. Because she’s leaning forward so much, she’ll naturally stop or vastly slow down the amount of bouncing and grinding she’s doing.

You can now place your hands on her rear and take over the thrusting AT YOUR OWN SPEED. This gives you the chance to get back to where you want to be on the stimulation scale. So, kissing her is the distraction and taking over the thrusting and movement is the direction. When you’re ready for her to start again, stop kissing her and bring your hands back to your sides. She’ll naturally sit up again and take over once more. There’s no agreement or discussion here - it just works by itself because of the change in body positions. Now let’s imagine you’re in doggy and she’s controlling the back and forth movement. You realise you’re around the 7 mark on the scale.

You need to distract and direct. Distract by leaning forward a little, reaching around her waist and rubbing her clit. This will make her slow down her movement. Now slowly begin to take over the thrusting, until you’re going at a fair speed. At which point, lean back so you’re vertical again and carry on. When you’re ready for her to take over once more, stop thrusting and she’ll feel a natural urge take control again.

The Distract and Direct technique works so well because the girl always feels like she’s the one controlling the action, even when - for a minute or two - you take over. She doesn’t realise this happens because she gets distracted by kissing or rubbing or something. Before she knows it, she’s back controlling the action. This makes sex feel two-way, shared and therefore damn good, for you and for her.

It seems like with a new site popping up every single second that there would be a lot more guy friendly sites out there, and I know I don’t have personal experience because I’m a girl, but I know of a small handful of stores directed towards men in particular. These aren’t stores like Armani or anything like that, they don’t specialize in any one thing, instead, they offer a whole bunch of different items all in one place. In particular, I like one stop shops, it means you can shop around at once place, and find everything you need, it’s more about convenience than anything else! If you have ever tried to find these specialty stores online, listed below are a few that just might interest you! The first one is my favorite one!

Man Trend Net - This site is still being developed but new stuff is being added all the time to make the site more popular and user-friendly. This site is geared towards men (obviously) and they do a damn good job! You can find things such as videos, auctions, photos, questions, and my favorite part, the store. The store has all kinds of goodies such as Shoes, Jewelry, Books, Music, Movies, Office products, Apparel, Gourmet food, Gadgets and gizmo’s, Electronics and so much more! This is definitely a site you should check out as soon as possible!

Ask Men - This site in particular is a cool place to go for questions and answers regarding things such as fashion, relationships, trends, love, dating and a lot more! It’s a portal of sorts but it’s also recognized as a men’s magazine available online.

Lonely Planet - Another cool site, this one actually is geared towards both sexes but is advertised as being a great site for men who are looking for traveling ideas, tips, destinations and more. They offer things like the shop, forum, hotels, bookings and services, videos, and travel stories. And the destinations are places that can be found around the world from Costa Rica to Rome, whatever you want travel wise you will find it here!

Gizmodo - The best site to go to for any type of reviews have it be gadgets, gizmos, or cutting-edge consumer electronics. This site is really cool! It’s a type of CNET site, but sometimes even the ever popular CNET just doesn’t have the things I’m searching for! Check it out!

Of course there is a billion and one other site’s out there, but above are just a few of my favorite ones I have found through out the years! Have fun exploring them!
