Side effects
PE won't necessarily lead to health problems, but it may lead to personal problems, such as increased stress and anxiety. There's also the possibility of fertility problems, the Mayo Clinic says. PE can occasionally make fertilization difficult or impossible for couples trying to have a baby.

Delaying ejaculation
With practice, almost all men can learn to delay ejaculation for 5 to 10 minutes or longer. These techniques teach you how to be aroused without ejaculating:

Stop-and-start technique: stop sex when you feel you're about to have an orgasm and then start again after about 30 seconds
Squeeze technique: stop sex when you feel you're about to have an orgasm, then squeeze the tip of your penis for 10 to 20 seconds and start again after about 30 seconds
You may try these first while masturbating. Later you can do them with your partner.

Doctors also may have you do things to make your penis less sensitive, such as:

Wearing a condom during sex
Putting numbing medicine on your penis before sex
If you seem very anxious or upset, doctors may prescribe antidepressant medicine.

How do doctors treat premature ejaculation?
Health / Re: (ANSWERED) What Size Of Penis Is Too Small, And Which Is Too Big? by Youngpharmz(m): 4:45pm On Aug 04, 2020
Psychological factors that might play a role include:

Poor body image
Depression
Worrying about premature ejaculation
Guilty feelings that increase your tendency to rush through sexual encounters
Health / Re: (ANSWERED) What Size Of Penis Is Too Small, And Which Is Too Big? by Youngpharmz(m): 4:45pm On Aug 04, 2020
The exact cause of premature ejaculation isn't known. While it was once thought to be only psychological, doctors now know premature ejaculation involves a complex interaction of psychological and biological factors.
Health / Re: (ANSWERED) What Size Of Penis Is Too Small, And Which Is Too Big? by Youngpharmz(m): 4:44pm On Aug 04, 2020
Premature ejaculation can be classified as:

Lifelong (primary). Lifelong premature ejaculation occurs all or nearly all of the time beginning with your first sexual encounters.
Acquired (secondary). Acquired premature ejaculation develops after you've had previous sexual experiences without ejaculatory problems.
Health / Re: (ANSWERED) What Size Of Penis Is Too Small, And Which Is Too Big? by Youngpharmz(m): 4:43pm On Aug 04, 2020
The main symptom of premature ejaculation is the inability to delay ejaculation for more than one minute after penetration. However, the problem might occur in all sexual situations, even during masturbation.
Health / Re: (ANSWERED) What Size Of Penis Is Too Small, And Which Is Too Big? by Youngpharmz(m): 4:43pm On Aug 04, 2020
However, you might be diagnosed with premature ejaculation if you:

Always or nearly always ejaculate within one minute of penetration
Are unable to delay ejaculation during intercourse all or nearly all of the time
Feel distressed and frustrated, and tend to avoid sexual intimacy as a result
Health / Re: (ANSWERED) What Size Of Penis Is Too Small, And Which Is Too Big? by Youngpharmz(m): 4:42pm On Aug 04, 2020
Premature ejaculation occurs when a man ejaculates sooner during sexual intercourse than he or his partner would like. Premature ejaculation is a common sexual complaint. Estimates vary, but as many as 1 out of 3 men say they experience this problem at some time.

How do we decide what’s small?

What’s too small? What’s too big? Research suggests that many men desire a bigger penis regardless of whether they think that their penis size is average or not. And, some men believe they have a small penis when it’s actually within the average range.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/12055869_b4fna4id_webp_webpc2ea343038967d4175ed65e7610da8a8

This article will look at the science behind the average penis size, how to measure your penis, and the conditions that can cause a penis to be or seem smaller than usual

What’s average?
The average length of a penis is roughly 3.6 inches flaccid and 5.2 inches erect.

How to measure your penis
If you’re curious about how to measure the size of your penis, here’s a correct way to get an accurate measurement:

You will need to have either a tape measure or ruler on hand.
To measure the length, start your measurement at the base of the penis, where the penis meets the pubic bone.
Run the ruler or tape measure along the full length of the penis from the base to the tip (glans). Do not measure excess foreskin length.
To measure the girth, wrap a flexible tape measure around the shaft of the penis at the base or around the midpoint between the base and head.
If you are measuring your penis flaccid, be careful not to pull on or stretch it as this can potentially cause injury.

Inconspicuous penis
Inconspicuous penis is an umbrella term for any number of conditions that cause the penis to appear smaller than normal.Trusted Source

The following conditions are all linked to having a smaller than usual penis size.

Buried penis. Buried penis is primarily caused by an excess accumulation of skin around the penis. The penis may be buried, or hidden, beneath the abdomen, scrotum, or even thigh. In most cases, the penis is a normal length and functions normally. However, this condition may cause difficulty with sexual arousal and function as well as urination.

Webbed penis. Webbed penis occurs when the skin of the scrotum is attached too high on the penis. This can affect the angle at which the penis rests, causing it to appear “webbed” and shorter than normal. Cosmetic surgery is a common treatment approach for this condition.

Trapped penis. Trapped penis can occur as the result of a circumcision not healing correctly. With a trapped penis, the scar tissue from the circumcision causes the penis to become trapped beneath the healed skin. This condition can cause serious issues with urinary dysfunction, so steroid therapy or surgery are necessary.

Many of these conditions are uncommon, affecting a small portion of the population. In all cases, however, it’s important to remember that penis size does not necessarily determine sexual attractiveness.

Penis size is only one small element in a list of items sexual partners find attractive — with emotional attractiveness being near the top. Besides, one 2006 study found that almost 85 percent of women are content with the size of their partner’s penis.

A major reason why many men suffer from penis related illness such as low sperm count, premature ejaculation, low libido and stuff like that is because they don't devote time to study and understand their sexual health

Many men don't know the basics of men's sexual activity.

A book called penis power teaches you all these and many more.

Health / Face Shield Vs. Face Mask: Which Is Better? by Youngpharmz(m): 7:59am On Jul 31, 2020
Do experts prefer face masks or face shields?

So, now to the question at hand. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the U.S. doesn’t recommend face shields over face masks (or vice versa), and there are no definitive studies proving one choice is better than the other for COVID-19 prevention. But some physicians laud the efficacy of shields as an option for protection. In a recent opinion piece in JAMA, Eli Perencevich, MD, a professor of internal medicine and epidemiology at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, along with two of his colleagues, explained that face shields appear to significantly reduce the amount of inhalation exposure to the influenza virus, which, like COVID-19, is a droplet-spread respiratory virus. A simulation study found that face shields reduced immediate viral exposure by 96 per cent when worn by a health care worker within 18 inches (45 centimetres) of a cough.

That said, the CDC, WHO, and most doctors endorse masks as a preferred line of defense. Why? “Masks offer a better way of preventing droplets from leaving the mouth or nose of someone who might be infected,” explains Dr. Kesh. The problem with a shield is that droplets can still escape from the side and bottom. “Additionally, our main portal of entry for the virus is the nose, so making sure the nose is fully covered will help to create a greater barrier for entry,” she says. Of course, face masks are only effective if you use them properly, so make sure to avoid these common mask mistakes.

Masks have more containment of the mouth and nose than shields do, but wearing a mask isn’t possible for everyone. “For those who cannot tolerate a mask, a shield could be better. But I would encourage my patients to try a few different masks before giving up,” says Dr. Kesh. “Something is better than nothing, but a mask offers better protection than a shield.” Here are some of the issues you should consider when making this decision.

Masks aren’t easy to breathe in
“Although wearing a face shield with a mask is the optimal form of use, face shields are more breathable than cloth masks are,” says Jen Podany, CEO of Bluestone Sunshields. “[For example], our customers in the restaurant industry can quickly move without feeling suffocated while wearing shields.” Plus, Bluestone Sunshields, in particular, can help you avoid strange tan lines from masks. While these shields are currently used as PPE, they were originally designed as sun protection for those with very sensitive skin. That said, not all face-shield brands block harmful UV rays, so do your research first.

Face shields can also be a good choice for those with respiratory issues, as well as people who are doing things that cause them to breathe heavier than normal. “People who are engaged in high-intensity activities, like running, may not be able to wear a cloth face covering if it causes difficulty breathing,” says Abe Malkin, MD, founder and medical director of Concierge MD in Los Angeles. “If you have respiratory issues, you should not risk your own health by wearing a mask.” So, while someone with asthma, for example, may be safe wearing a cloth mask to go grocery shopping, it might not be a smart idea if they’re exercising. In that case, a face shield is a safer alternative.

Masks are not recommended for people with some medical conditions
“There are cases like with autism or seizure disorders where a person may be more sensitive than other people to touch and texture and cannot bear the feeling of having the nose and mouth covered by fabric,” says Dr. Malkin. In those circumstances, a shield would be a better choice.

Where face shields have an advantage
One of the biggest problems with masks is that they only cover the nose and mouth, missing the other major entry point for the virus: the eyes. With face shields, the eyes are covered, preventing the absorption of the virus through aerosols as well as hand-to-eye contact. So, if you are a person who often rubs your eyes, a face shield might be a smart idea.

Masks can also cause skin issues, which, while treatable, are an annoyance. “I am seeing an increase in facial breakouts, including acne, rosacea, perioral dermatitis, and irritant contact dermatitis. I definitely think this is from wearing masks,” Sapna Palep, MD, of Spring Street Dermatology in New York City, tells Reader’s Digest. Shields don’t aggravate the skin.

Face shields are easier to clean
Masks should be cleaned at least daily. And if you sweat or exercise in your mask, it’s best to remove it when you’re done with your activity to avoid the potential skin conditions described by Dr. Palep. She recommends cleaning face masks with lingerie wash in a sink or putting them in the delicate cycle and then air-drying them. Either way, washing masks is a chore.

Face shields, on the other hand, are easier to clean than cloth masks because they have a hard surface. “You don’t have to do a load of laundry each time you wear it,” says Podany. But keep in mind that shields need to be cleaned after each use with soap and water. Still, the process is less time-consuming.

Options for kids
As previously stated, the Canadian government guidelines don’t recommend masks for children under the age of two. But as many parents know, older children may be obstinate or pull off their masks. Dr. Malkin suggests “trying to make wearing a mask fun for kids by offering designs featuring their favourite superhero, calmly explaining the need for the mask, and keeping it a bit looser around the nose and mouth.” Dr. Palep also supports kids wearing shields if they won’t wear face masks because it’s better than wearing nothing at all. Plus, children may not be able to exercise caution when touching surfaces or avoiding touching their faces the way adults can, so a face shield designed specifically for kids can help with that issue.

Should anyone be wearing both a face mask and a face shield?
While wearing both a mask and shield provides the maximum amount of protection, most people don’t need to go that far. However, there are some exceptions. Los Angeles–based pediatric nurse practitioner Ersilia Pompilio, RN, recommends them for health care workers. “As one study shows, face shields substantially reduce the short-term exposure for health care workers to large infectious aerosolized particles,” she explains. “Thus, face shields provide a useful adjunct to respiratory protection for workers caring for patients with respiratory infections.”

Keep in mind that if you aren’t a health care worker but you live with someone who is immunocompromised or who has tested positive for COVID-19, then you may want to take additional precautions.

Really? What kind of great things?
Education / How Do You Think? Are You Creative? Logical? Inventive? by Youngpharmz(m): 11:58pm On Jul 10, 2020
There are five types of thinking: concrete (The Doer), analytical or abstract thinking (The Analyst), logical thinking (The Orator), imaginative (The Inventor) and creative (The Original Thinker).

While everyone has a mixture of these kinds of thinking in varying proportions, the orators and original thinkers are the best in my opinion.

The Doer: Concrete Thinking

You tend to thinks in practical, actionable terms.

Artisans, athletes, and anyone who produces anything tangible need this type of thinking.

Doers contribute to the world by bringing thoughts and ideas together and making them a reality.

The Analyst: Analytical and Abstract Thinking

You tend to think in abstract terms.

This type of thinking is essential for mathematicians, economists, programmers, scientists, and, obviously, analysts.

These people can process information in the form of codes and complex symbols — something you can’t see or touch.

Many scientific discoveries were possible because of this ability.

The Orator: Logical Thinking

You tend to think in terms of words and logic.

Good writers, journalists, translators, and teachers typically belong to this type.

Orators can form ideas and then deliver these ideas to others in a clear and logical format.

This ability is especially crucial for leaders, politicians, and activists. (You may also want to take this leadership test.)

The Inventor: Imaginative Thinking

You tend to think in terms of images.

People who belong to this type have a rich imagination that allows them to imagine things they haven’t seen — either because it’s something from the past or because it’s something that never existed — and express it in their work.

Successful architects, designers, artists, and screenwriters usually belong to this type.

The Original Thinker: Creative Thinking

You have a rare and valuable ability to think creatively.

Creative thinking is the ability to look at problems and situations from a different perspective and find unusual and often surprising solutions.

Creative thinking is a rare skill and is needed in all types of work.

Personally, I'm particularly interested in creative and logical thinking as they suit my profession and lifestyle the most...

You can easily find out if you're a logical thinker or creative thinker by this live test, if you're not sure. Enjoy! https://healthward.xyz/find-out-what-kind-of-thinker-you-are/

Health / If You Want To Live Up To 100, Follow These Rules by Youngpharmz(m): 11:45am On Jul 10, 2020
Life expectancy in Canada continues to rise—and so do your chances of becoming a centenarian. In fact, the 2011 Census counted 4,870 women and 955 men aged 100 and over in Canada. If you want to live 100, here’s how they’re doing it.


Swap out red meat
You don’t have to become a strict vegetarian—in fact, research has shown that swapping out some of your servings of red meat for high-quality plant protein (such as soy or legumes), can reduce your cholesterol levels. Other studies have found that making those healthy swaps can significantly lower your risk of premature death—especially from heart disease.


Eat even more fruits and veggies
You already know you need to eat your fruits and veggies, but did you know that skimping on them could lead to an earlier demise? A 2017 study found that an astounding 5.6 to 7.8 million premature deaths worldwide stem from people eating less than 500 grams of fruit (approximately two servings) and 800 grams of vegetables (about 3.5 servings) daily.



Rethink retirement
We’re not saying you have to deal with a nine-to-five grind forever, but there is great value in continuing to do something you love—it brings purpose to your life. Researchers were able to link a sense of purpose in life with an 83 per cent reduction in death from all causes and a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular trouble such as stroke or heart attack, according to a 2016 review of 10 studies.


Eat the right fats
Reducing the amounts of unhealthy trans and saturated fat in your diet will go a long way toward helping you live to 100. A recent study found that for every two per cent increase in trans fat in your diet, your risk of premature death jumps by 16 per cent. And just a five per cent increase in saturated fat boosts your risk of early death by eight per cent. On the flip side, replace those artery-clogging fats with healthier poly and monounsaturated fats, and you will likely live longer.


Discover pulses
Beans, peas, chickpeas, lentils—they’re all pulses, and people who live in the Blue Zones—areas famous for their high number of centenarians—eat an average of one cup of pulses per day. Some of the reasons why these plant foods help extend life: Pulses are high in fibre, low in calories and often replace unhealthier protein sources such as red meat. And research suggests that eating just one serving a day can reduce your levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol.


Go nuts
Munching on a handful of nuts every day is a tasty way to help you live to 100. In a study of nearly 120,000 adults, those who ate nuts every day were 20 percent less likely to have died during the 30-year follow up than those who reported eating no nuts. Yes, nuts are high in fat, but it’s mostly the healthy unsaturated kind—plus they are high in protein and fibre and have been shown to improve cholesterol and blood pressure levels.



Manage stress better
You probably know that too much stress can raise your risk of diseases that can shorten your life. But stress isn’t going away, so set the goal of finding ways to cope. Meditation is one very effective method for reducing the negative health impacts of stress, but even simple breathing exercises can help. Once a day, sit quietly for a few minutes and focus on nothing but breathing in and out, trying to slow down your breath to a count of four (or more) on both the inhale and exhale.


Don’t skip your annual physical
In order to live longer, you need to do all you can to prevent disease—or at the very least, catch an illness on the early side. That’s why it’s essential to see your physician on a schedule he or she recommends. Also, be sure you and your loved ones get screening tests such as mammograms, colonoscopies, and prostate exams.


Sit less
You may have heard it before, but sitting is the new smoking. The latest research shows that too much time on your behind can be as deadly as nicotine. So if you want to live to 100, don’t smoke (obviously) and don’t fall prey to “sitting disease.” One study found that leisure time sitting (like watching TV or surfing the web) has a big impact on your risk of dying younger. Those who spent more than six hours of leisure time a day sitting had a 19 per cent higher mortality rate than those who spent less than three hours of their leisure time on the couch.


Keep close friends
Yes, family ties are important, but as you age, good friends may be even more important. Close connections with friends are often less fraught with emotional drama than those with parents, siblings, and children. Maintaining tight friendships as you get older is associated with better health and greater happiness—both of which are key ingredients for living to 100.


Walk every day
The current government advice on exercise calls for getting at least 30 minutes a day of moderate physical activity—such as walking. Even if you don’t hit that number, as long as you’re consistently active, you’ll lower your mortality risk, research shows. Instead of making exercise just one more thing to check off your to-do list, experts advise finding more ways to work activity into the fabric of your daily life. Walking or biking to the store, vacuuming the house, or mowing the lawn all count toward your goal of living to 100.


Stay connected
It’s not enough to have friends—you have to connect with them on a regular basis in order to get the life-extending benefits. And that means more than just following them on Facebook and “liking” the occasional photo of a cute puppy or grandchild. When you have truly strong social connections, you reduce your risk of early death by 50 per cent compared to people without those ties.

Grow a garden
Planting, tending, and harvesting a garden is another activity that will help you live to 100. There’s a decent amount of physical effort involved, plus the vegetables you reap can play an important part in your healthy longevity diet.


Cut down on processed foods
When you’re hoping to live to 100, you need to eat well. And that means focusing your diet on real, whole foods—fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, lean meats, whole grains, and plant proteins. And it means avoiding overly processed packaged foods as much as possible. Those packaged foods may be convenient, but they’re typically loaded with too much salt, sugar, unhealthy fats, preservatives, and additives that may take years off your life.


Have a drink (but not too many)
People who are light to moderate drinkers may have a lower risk of mortality than their teetotaling counterparts. But the key is “light to moderate” drinking—which means no more than one alcoholic beverage per day for women and two for men. Drinking too much—especially binge drinking—has been associated with an increased risk of premature death.


Go for whole grains
There are plenty of good reasons to upgrade some (or better yet, all) of your bread, pasta, rice, and cereal to whole grain versions. You get lots more healthy fibre, which helps you stay fuller longer and moderate blood sugar levels. But by eating more whole grains you also might give yourself a boost toward living to 100. In one study, the people who ate at least servings a day of whole grains had a 20 per cent lower risk of death than those who ate little or no whole grains.


Maintain a healthy weight
Being overweight or obese puts you at risk for several of the diseases that could get in the way of you living to 100—such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. Not surprisingly, it’s also linked to an increased risk of mortality. To stay healthy and live longer, strive to keep your body mass index in the healthy zone between 18.5 and 24.9.

Spend more time in nature
Healthier people tend to live in healthier places—places where they’re surrounded by, or at least have easy access to—green spaces. Studies have found that spending more time in nature can reduce depression, make you more active and also mean you’re exposed to less harmful pollution. Some scientists even believe that time in nature can actually change how the brain works, improving your ability to think clearly and solve problems.

Whether you’re gassy, constipated, nauseous, or have indigestion, try these natural remedies to make an upset stomach feel better without medicine.

Carrot and mint “juice” helps an upset stomach

It might sound iffy, but this concoction is helpful if you’re suffering from the winter flu; the carrot provides nourishment and peppermint soothes your upset stomach. Boil four sliced carrots, four cups of water, and one teaspoon of dried peppermint or one peppermint teabag. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook about 15 minutes or until carrots are soft. If you’re using a teabag, remove it, then blend the mixture until smooth and enjoy! You can also add a pinch of ground ginger to further soothe, or a squeeze of lemon juice for flavour.

Rice tea alleviates an upset stomach

To settle an upset stomach or stop diarrhea, make a rice “tea.” Boil 1/2 cup of rice in six cups of water for about 15 minutes. Strain out the rice, then flavour the water with a dash of honey or sugar and drink warm.

Burnt toast settles an upset stomach

You know that toast is good for an upset stomach, but burnt toast is even better because the char absorbs toxins that are making you feel ill. Add a smear of jelly to make it more palatable.

Apple cider vinegar soothes an upset stomach

Whether easing hiccups or soothing a sore throat, is there anything apple cider vinegar can’t do? This popular home remedy may also calm an angry tummy. A mixture of one tablespoon apple cider vinegar, one cup warm water, and one tablespoon honey will ease indigestion and may alleviate cramping and gas in your upset stomach. It can also lessen discomfort caused by heartburn.

CRAP diet is good for an upset stomach

If you’re feeling constipated, try the CRAP diet: It stands for “cherries, raisins, apricots, and prunes,” all fibre-friendly foods that should get your system moving and ease your upset stomach.

Yogurt reduces discomfort from an upset stomach

You probably don’t crave anything dairy when you have a stomach ache, but the probiotic qualities of yogurt—aka live bacteria—make it a good cure as it eases digestive discomfort and boosts your immune system. Just make sure to choose non-fat plain yogurt without added sugar or flavours when you have an upset stomach.

Caraway seeds ease an upset stomach

Caraway seeds are packed with vitamins and minerals, which inhibit the growth of bad bacteria that causes indigestion, gas, or bloating and contributes to an upset stomach. Nibble on a handful after eating your meal, or if you feel gassy.

Fennel makes an upset stomach feel better

Whether it’s indigestion or gas and bloating, fennel can help. Sip a fennel tea, chew on a few fennel seeds or crunch on some raw. It supports digestion, reduces gas, helps with cramping, and reduces nausea from an upset stomach.

Heat helps an upset stomach

Place a hot water bottle or heating pad on your upset stomach. The heat increases blood flow to the skin surface and transfers the perception of pain from inside your stomach to the outside.
