Male sexual health is an important aspect of the overall health of a male. It is wise to have regular doctor checkups to ensure that a male’s entire body is in good health. Some teens will have questions about their sexual health, as hormonal changes can cause many changes regarding a male’s sexual organs. When a male teen is going through puberty some changes will occur and should not cause any fear. A male teen may find that they may awaken to a wet bed.

Moreover, too many macho males think sex is all that really matters in a relationship; sharing feelings and problems, being tender and caring, doing things together that she likes to do, getting to know each other deeply, etc. are seen too often as silly women’s stuff. These men just don’t get it: good loving is not in the penis, it is in the heart and the mind. If sex were just coming to a climax, then we’d just masturbate. Sex is a mental-interpersonal process, not just a brief physical act. With males having all these responsibilities, misconceptions, and sexist attitudes, the truth is men have a lot of sexual problems. Continue reading
