Masturbation gets a bad rap. Despite being the source of likely tens of billions of orgasms every year, and primarily occurring in private where it doesn’t bother anyone, it’s still seen as a problem by many. Some accuse it of being addictive, while others parrot old myths about it having negative effects. And while it is possible to develop potentially unhealthy habits when it comes to self-pleasure, overall, the picture is quite rosy.

Orgasms are pretty great — so great, in fact, that many people would have them all day long if they could. But while cultural stereotypes often posit that men are hornier than women on average, it’s actually much less likely that a cis man spends all day orgasming than a cis woman. In fact, the concept of “giving someone multiple orgasms” is typically only associated with women getting them. Why is that? While many things to do with sex have sociocultural gendered roots, this one is absolutely a question of biology — and it comes back to something called ‘the refractory period.’ RELATED: How t ..read more

Even though it’s incredibly common, erectile dysfunction (ED) can wreak havoc on your self-confidence.

Some people go to great lengths to consume drugs, but why bother when there are active chemicals just waiting to be released in your body? Yes, having an orgasm is a lot like getting high. When you do, your brain releases a myriad of substances into your bloodstream, literally altering your mind and body functions — at least temporarily. Orgasms are complicated and wonderful experiences that involve a complex interaction between three systems of the body: the vascular system, the nervous system, and the endocrine system. Frankly, they’re so complicated that it's a miracle that they happen at a ..read more

Two Valentine’s Days ago, when I popped the question to my wife, I also popped something else — a boner. We were at a local bar and a folk-singing couple had just finished a cover of Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon” when I turned to deliver the fateful question. The second that “yes” left her lips, I started to feel it, that unmistakable sensation. You could say that my body was getting ready for the proposal after-party, but I knew even then that it wasn’t just that. Distracted, I didn’t think much of it at the time. That is, until it happened again while we were talking about having kids. It make ..read more

A lot of guys put a lot of stock in their member. If you've seen any spam emails or ads on porn streaming sites before, you’ve probably intuited that a ton of men wish their dicks were bigger. It may seem strange, but that little guy has a large hold on men’s self-image. The first time I started to notice my own size was the first time I slept with another man. I had never really thought about whether or not I was “big” or not, but after I saw another man in the flesh, I started thinking that on some level, maybe dick size did matter. We live in a world of “bigger is better,” after all — wheth ..read more

At one point or another, pretty much every guy has thought about penis size. What would your dick look like if it was double the size? Would it have the circumference of a soda can or a 2-liter bottle? Would it sit on his thigh like a king on his throne or have its own gravitational field, inviting people of all sizes and shapes to stand around it and gawk? As a big-dicked man, would having sex with a woman be the best thing in the world or the worst?  Would that gigantic dick be a blessing or a curse? A treasure or a double-edged sword covered in skin? Well, whether we’d like to adm ..read more
