Discerning Fact From Fiction on
Men's Sexual Health
By Dr. Rose Windale
Issues on men's sexual health are generally a hush-hush topic even among
men themselves. Whereas women are more open in discussing personal and
sexual matters with their peers and with their doctors, men are
generally reticent to seek advice from other people even with medical
professionals on matters of men's sexual health.
It may well be within the nature of men to keep to themselves on
personal matters, what more on men's sexual health which can be a
delicate issue. As adolescents, young boys get information about
their sexuality from their peers, and eventually, men's sexual health
and issues are closed door topics in locker rooms in college.
Although the information they have acquired during these stages may be
titillating or interesting, almost often they can be inaccurate or
incorrect. Men are less likely to discuss matters on their sexual health
with other men whereas women have the tendency to confer such concerns
easily and openly.
Consequently, men are often dazed when concerns on men's sexual health
arise as they are left to themselves. With the extensive invasion of the
Internet technology however, there is a massive dissemination of
information on men's sexual health. This is tremendously advantageous
for men as they can have access to information on men's sexual health --
an anonymously at that-- as countless websites offer vast data on the
matter.
It must be noted however that there are also innumerable sites conveying
bogus and incredible information on men's sexual health, therefore a
questioning intelligence and sharp discernment are also necessary to
acquire the accurate facts from the internet. There is a broad range of
topics on men's sexual health.
Like for instance, the use of condoms. The use of condoms is basically
seen as the proper means to prevent the transmission of sexually
transmitted diseases (STD's) and as a contraceptive as well. However, a
large percentage of men do not comply with this preventive measure
against STD and unwanted pregnancy for the woman.
A men's health forum online on men's sexual health can prove to be
remarkably helpful in this matter. Risks, tips and personal experiences
can be shared and discussed in this mode of communication among men.
Erectile dysfunction or impotence is also one of the most covered
concerns on men's sexual health. As impotence is a sensitive issue of
masculinity, a large proportion of men find it embarrassing to discuss
this topic with their peers or even their physicians. Pharmaceutical
advances have tried to develop means to combat this condition, but still
the issue of impotence connotes personal humiliation. By visiting
credible information sources online, men can find the answers to their
queries thereby alleviating their anxieties and making them look for
options to correct the problem.
Another issue on men's sexual health is the improvement of the libido.
Online forums can be an avenue to address underlying medical issues and
lifestyle related matters that can affect their sexual desire such as
fitness, diet and weight management. Other men's sexual health questions
can be very specific ranging from the inability to retract the
foreskin, Peyronie's disease, venous leakage and abnormal
development of the urethra.
Of foremost concern on men's sexual health are STDs. Much information
derived on STDs such as HIV/AIDS, gonorrhea, herpes and syphilis are
sometimes borne out of misinformation and sheer ignorance. Accurate
information on men's sexual health is the
cornerstone for a healthy sexuality and in enjoying sexual relationships
to the fullest.
Men's health forums online are excellent avenues for education and
awareness among men and would encourage them to take measures and seek
medical attention as well.
