Penis Surgery

The decision to undergo any form of penile surgical procedure is not one to be made lightly. It should involve consulting with a qualified medical practitioner who is able to diagnose your condition and explain all the advantages, disadvantages and possible complications. That said, penile surgery is sometimes the only option available when less invasive medical treatments have been exhausted.

Understanding Penile Prostheses

A penile prosthesis is a surgically implanted device sometimes used in the treatment of medical conditions such as erectile dysfunction, penile trauma (accidental or intentional) and Peyronie's disease. The purpose of these devices is to artificially simulate an erection sufficient for penetration and sexual intercourse in cases where this would not normally be possible.

Types of penile implants:

• Rigid Prosthesis – an implant that is permanently erect
• Malleable/Semi-Rigid – these implants can be manually adjusted and bent into position
• Inflatable/Hydraulic – prostheses that operate through cylinders inserted into the penis which can be inflated or deflated on demand

While mechanical failure and certain complications including infections, erosion and urethral injury have been noted in the past, newer penile prosthesis technology has helped to create a safer and more effective device. These advances, however, do not address one of the major complaints commonly associated with their usage, namely that of a loss in penis size.

Penile Implants and Penis Size

Even though penile implants work to effectively produce "erections", their use does not have an effect on the glans itself. During a normal erection, the glans (penis head) hardens and swells in size which aids in penetration. Intercourse is often made more difficult without the help of this natural process.

Another side effect of using a penile prosthesis is that artificial erection size is generally smaller than that of a normally functioning penis. In general, men lose approximately 1-2 cm (.25-.75 in) in length as the penis is unable to achieve the rigidity of a naturally occurring erection. The combination of these factors is what often leads to a lowered level of satisfaction among penile implant recipients.

The Use of Penile Augmentation Surgery

A study^† published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine suggests that one way to counter the dissatisfaction experienced by penile prosthesis patients is by employing various augmentation techniques.

In a trial consisting of eighteen patients, eleven men underwent various surgical augmentation procedures (the remaining seven had their complaint relieved by counseling and the administration of PDE5 inhibitors). Of these eleven patients, two had elongation, girth augmentation, and glans injection; six had elongation and girth augmentation; and two had elongation and glans injection. With the exception of one patient who suffered graft loss, all patients indicated increased levels of satisfaction after the procedures were completed.

At the end of the study the researchers concluded:

"Implantation of a penile prosthesis may improve penile rigidity, yet may confound couple's satisfaction with penile size to variable degrees. Sex education may alleviate those concerns. In refractory cases, penile augmentation may enhance phallic size and increase patient/partner satisfaction."

Source:^†Journal of Sexual Medicine / DOI 10.1111/j.1743-6109.2010.01723.x

For these men, surgical penis augmentation proved to be an effective means to remedy their displeasure with penis size. Their particular experience however should not be considered an endorsement of penis surgery for the singular use of increasing penis size.

In this case, specific circumstances precluded these men from employing any other means of natural penis enlargement. Undergoing penile augmentation surgery for the simple sake of vanity, where a man has an otherwise normally functioning penis, still remains a method in which the risks far outweigh the benefits.

A Freakishly Large Penis

According to most studies and surveys, the average size of the erect penis is anywhere between 5-7 inches in length. Now double that size and you'll better understand what Jonah Falcon possesses. To put that into perspective, it's about the length of an average man's forearm measured elbow to knuckles. In other words, it's enormous.

I first learned of Jonah's story in a magazine article entitled, humorously enough, "Girls are scared off by my 13-inch willy!" According to the article, Jonah has been living a rather complicated and unsatisfying life largely due to his freakishly big penis.

Woes of the Super Well-Endowed

It seems that Jonah, a 39 year old from New York, would like nothing more than to find a nice girl to settle down with. Unfortunately for him, his world record size 13-1/2 inch penis is making this nearly impossible. The problem he says, is mainly because of the type of woman he seems to attract.

"I just want a nice girl to cuddle in bed and maybe have children with, but I seem to attract women who are just interested in sex."

A Life Revolving Around Sex

Over the years Jonah has led a very active sex life, mostly thanks to the enormity of his manhood. He first lost his virginity around age 11 and claims that by the time he was 18 he was having sex with strangers on an almost nightly basis.

"I'd get a thrill from their reaction when I took off my pants," says Jonah. "They'd either be terrified or over the moon. I got a reputation, and girls would use me for sex. If a girl was worried it'd hurt, I'd let them go on top. I used extra large condoms but they didn't fit properly, so I had to be careful they didn't break."

While admitting that he once enjoyed living that lifestyle, he now says that he's now grown bored of it and longs for a more normal life. Sadly he believes that his extra-large penis is keeping him from reaching that goal.

"I still have casual sex a few times a week with friends, but only to release tension. Now I want to find a girl I can take home … But nice girls run a mile when they find out about my penis. It's depressing!"

In addition to the problem of finding a suitable mate, Jonah believes that his ambitions of becoming an actor are also hampered by his large penis size. Although he has been approached to work in adult films, he doesn't believe he'll be taken seriously as an actor if he starts doing porn.

Unemployed, forlorn and fast approaching his 40th birthday, Jonah finds himself struggling with personal circumstances that he feels are as much a blessing as a curse.

"I don't wish my penis wasn't so big as I'm still proud of it, but I'm sure I'll never settle down because of it. My savings are running low and I'm living with my mum. It's hardly what dreams are made of."

Jonah and his Whale

For most men with an average sized penis, Jonah's tale is not an easy one to relate to. Even those who use an effective penis enlargement system to add up to 3 inches in size will never reach the measurements that he naturally inherited from birth. In truth, most would not want to. Eight or nine inches should be more than enough for any man.

The thing most troubling about his story really has nothing to do with the size of his penis at all. Instead, his inability to deal with the circumstances life has dealt him seems to be his downfall.

I'm reminded of a story involving another Jonah… the bible tale of Jonah and the Whale. In that story, the prophet Jonah decides to go against the wishes of God. The consequences of his actions ultimately land him in the belly of a whale. For three days and nights he's left to pray until he finally realizes that the whale was a blessing sent to save him from drowning. This story teaches about perception and how we choose to accept our own fate.

Jonah (of the large penis) never really had a choice in the matter. His genetics at birth dictated how big his penis would become. The only thing he ever had control over was how he dealt with it. Whether he views it as a blessing or a curse, that decision is entirely up to him. The penis do not maketh the man.

Kinsey Condom Survey

The study^† which consisted of a survey taken by the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction, questioned 436 men about how their condoms fit when used during sex. Of these men, almost 45 percent reported that the condom fit poorly and complained of condom slippage, breaking and irritation of the penis.

Another complaint was that condoms made intercourse less pleasurable and resulted in greater difficulty in achieving orgasm. For this reason, many stated that they took off the condoms before they finished having sex. This behavior obviously exposes men to sexually-contracted diseases and ultimately defeats the entire purpose of using condoms in the first place.

The researchers who conducted this survey concluded:

"Men and their female sex partners may benefit from public health efforts designed to promote the improved fit of condoms."

Source:^†Sex Transm Infect 2010;86:36-38 / DOI:10.1136/sti.2009.036665

What's Size Got To Do, Got To Do With It?

Although the researchers conclusion offers sound advice, it does beg the question of why condom makers seem oblivious to the needs of their customers. With so much emphasis on developing pleasure-producing male contraceptives, and recent strives to educate men on the importance of safe-sex, it appears almost counter-intuitive to manufacture products that don't even fit well.

Clearly the root of the problem stems out of two specific circumstances. Firstly, many men have no idea whatsoever the condom size they'll actually need. It's not like you can go into a store and try on condoms until you find one that matches. Since penises come in all shapes and sizes, it's not always easy to determine which condom will offer the correct fit.

Secondly, while there is a dizzying array of condom varieties (ribbed, lubricated, scented, flavored, colored, etc.), the actual selection of sizes is limited. The majority of brands are marketed in Regular, Large and Extra Large sizes – you'd be hard-pressed to find a condom that is labeled 'Small.'

This predicament usually results in men guessing about which size is right for them. Unfortunately this means that sometimes the condom is too small and this can cause discomfort or breakage. Other times the condom is too large and either becomes loose or simply falls off.

Getting Condom Size Right

The only true way to be sure that a condom fits correctly is to buy a sample of different sizes and test each one independently. Since condoms are often purchased in the spur of the moment, this might not always be practical or even possible.

Even if you find a condom that does fit, this won't account for variable changes in penis size that may occur over time. If you're practicing a penis enlargement method for instance, you'll need to periodically check that the condoms you're using are still fitting properly.

The bottom line is that unless you're in a committed sexual relationship with a partner you trust, condoms are a necessity. If the possibility of pregnancy and/or the contraction of STIs (sexually transmitted infections) is not an issue then you may not have to worry. For many men however, condoms are a way of life. Until condom manufacturers come up with a better and more transparent system for sizing, the burden remains on us alone to make the right choice.

The Four Classifications of PE (Premature Ejaculation)

Although premature ejaculation is a frequent sexual complaint from males, the occurrence of PE is not always the result of purely mental or physical factors. A newly proposed classification system separates the condition into four specific syndromes; lifelong PE, acquired PE, natural variable PE and premature-like ejaculatory dysfunction.

Each syndrome is distinguished by certain specific variables:

• Duration of IELT (Intravaginal Ejaculation Latency Time) – this is the amount of time it takes from actual vaginal penetration until ejaculation occurs
• Frequency of PE complaint
• How PE progresses over time
• The underlying cause of the disorder [Etiology]
• The actual physiological changes that occur due to the disorder [Pathophysiology]
• Recommended Treatment of PE

Lifelong PE
For men with lifelong PE, ejaculation usually occurs within 1 minute of penetration. Men under this classification have experienced premature ejaculation starting with their very first sexual encounter and the condition has persisted ever since. It is believed to be a mainly biological disorder and the use of drug treatment is required to delay ejaculation.

Acquired PE
Acquired PE, also called secondary premature ejaculation, describes a condition in which PE did not always exist but developed at some point in time. The cause may be either physiological or psychological (or both). Suggested treatment involves specific counseling, or in the case of an actual biological disorder such as thyroid or urological disease, medical treatment may be necessary.

Natural Variable PE
Men with natural variable PE only experience early ejaculations occasionally. Since there is no indication that an occasional occurrence of premature ejaculation is either related to psychological or physiological disorder, it is assumed that this condition is only a manifestation of normal ejaculatory performance. The treatment for those men who fit into the natural variable PE classification is generally limited to counseling.

Premature-like Ejaculatory Dysfunction
Premature-like ejaculatory dysfunction is the classification for those men who complain of rapid ejaculation yet have normal IELT (3-7 minutes) or even longer IELTs (10-25 minutes). Since these IELTs adhere to what is largely considered normal intercourse duration time and there is no evidence of physiological disturbance, it is very likely that this syndrome has either psychological or cultural origins. For men experiencing this condition, treatment with medicine is not recommended. Instead, counseling or psychological therapy designed to help them cope with their complaints should be pursued.

In a recent study^† to determine the prevalence of these four PE syndromes among patients admitted to a urology outpatient clinic, it was concluded that the majority of patients who seek treatment for premature ejaculation fit into the classification of lifelong PE. It should be noted that the results of this particular study only suggest that most men who actually seek treatment are classified as lifelong PE sufferers. The percentage of men correlating with the other three premature ejaculation syndromes and who never seek treatment may be significantly higher.

Source:^†Journal of Sexual Medicine / DOI 10.1111/j.1743-6109.2009.01570.x

Dealing with Premature Ejaculation

The new classification system for PE reveals that are many different variations of premature ejaculation to consider. Some instances of PE are caused by an actual biological disorder and require medical attention while others are more likely related to psychological issues. Regardless of the exact root cause of the condition, the end result is ultimately an undesired effect on male sexual performance.

In many cases where men feel they're not performing to their full ability and would like to increase the length of time before ejaculation occurs, there are simple techniques available that can help improve IELT. Penis exercises for instance, specifically those that target premature ejaculation, provide an easy and inexpensive way to help increase sexual endurance.

Another excellent method used to combat PE is through the use of a specially designed penile traction device. These devices can help prevent premature ejaculation and also offer the added benefit of increasing overall penis size.

While these techniques are not meant to replace medical treatment in those cases where an actual physiological pathology exists, they can be helpful for the large percentage of men who simply wish to prolong intercourse through better ejaculation control. As always, it is best to consult a physician for advice if you believe the severity of your condition warrants medical attention.

1. The Best Way To Get A Woman's Attention

Across a crowded room, you spot someone who caught your eye who you would like to get to know better. Instead of approaching her with some cheesy pick-up line (are you a pirate? cos I want your booty!), why not concentrate on the impression you are going to make when you approach her. Women love men who ooze self confidence, so your best bet is to concentrate on your body language.

Women are sexually attracted to the "alpha male" type, a man who is relaxed and sure of himself without giving off a smug attitude. Take control of the conversation, mixing humor with intelligence, but show interest in what she has to say as well. This is a tremendous turn on for women and if she is interested, she will be anxious to engage in conversation with you.

2. The Best Way To Seduce A Woman

If you have followed my advice and you have your lady's attention, you are now ready to play the seduction game. If you are at a party or a club, you may want to move your personal party someplace a little more intimate. Don't rush the "let's go to my place" step, this may scare her off. Instead, choose a cozy restaurant or lounge where you can continue getting to know one another over a few drinks.

Make sure you look into her eyes, maintaining the right amount of eye contact without coming off as 'creepy.' Romantic eye contact will certainly send sexual chills down her spine and leave her wanting more. Some gentle touching to show her you are interested will take you a long way. Always remember you are in the drivers seat, but don't be too pushy. If she is interested, she will respond and follow your lead.

3. Getting Close Enough To Initiate Sex

I have said it before and I'll say it again, communication is the lifeline of a lasting relationship or a casual sexual encounter. If you have reached this point after you have successfully made it through points 1 and 2, chances are good that you will end up in bed before the night is over. Sexual communication is important so that you are both on the same page. If you are not into the same things that could be a serious deal breaker.

Of course it's important to be aware of your partners "kinky level" and that may take a little time to learn. Does she like to swallow? Does she enjoy anal sex? These kind of discussions depend on how many times you have seen each other, so don't rush it. As you draw closer you can always amp up your pillow talk and take things to a new level by trying new sexual positions.

4. The Worst Moves A Man Can Make In Bed

Slow down, seriously. Women need some warming up and don't appreciate you diving in as soon as your clothes are off. Don't expect her to just drop and spread em' for you to do your thing. You have gone this far by being observant and in touch with her needs, please don't stop now.

Take care when orally pleasing her, be alert to what feels good for her yet don't overdue it. Give her some control when it comes to oral sex -don't ram her head down on your dick even though it feels good to you, it's a major buzz kill for women.

Communicate with one another about when you are going to cum. If you cum too quickly, you will leave her frustrated. If you take too long, she will be too sore to move. And most importantly – when you are both satisfied, take some time to snuggle each other. This is important for women who need a little more time to come back to earth after they have had an orgasm.

5. Are You Big Enough To Satisfy Her?

This has to be one of the biggest concerns of men but it's the easiest to answer. In all honesty, when you reach that point where you whip out your penis, you will be able to tell right away whether she's excited or not. Her eyes will get big and she'll basically be drooling over it, begging you to come inside her.

The moment of truth for you will be once you penetrate her and hear her moan with pleasure. Think of it this way, up until she met you she has probably been pleasuring herself with a variety of toys and vibrators. Most of these devices are fairly large so you'll be going up against some pretty stiff competition.

What's to your advantage is that there's no substitute for the real thing. It helps to have a sizable package down there but it doesn't necessarily spell failure if you don't. You should be able to gauge whether her response is positive or negative pretty quickly.

If she's receptive to your moves and obviously enjoying herself, you can rest assured that many more sexual encounters are to follow. If on the other hand she doesn't seem too excited, all hope is not lost. There are other ways to pleasure a woman that don't depend on the size of your penis, it just takes more focus and experimentation.

You could also look into some natural ways to enlarge your penis and make the most out of your sexual experiences. I've known many men who had great results using a penis enlargement device. It's not for everyone but if you want to add a few inches of size down there it's a great way to do it!

These 5 simple secrets are a good starting point for men interested in enhancing their sexual encounters. They represent only just a small fraction of the concerns men have about women, sex and relationships but I do feel the information is incredibly valuable. As always I welcome your questions and feedback, so please feel free to drop me a line!

The Complete Penis Enhancement Spectrum

We're always keeping an eye out for new penis enhancement developments but there are certain times when things slip through the cracks. Sometimes our attention is focused too heavily on one particular aspect, such as penis enlargement. Unfortunately when this happens we may tend to neglect, albeit unintentionally, the other equally important factors that contribute to overall penile enhancement.

It should be understood that penis enhancement in it's entirety is not solely about increasing the size of the penis. It also takes into consideration such things as increasing erection strength, improving sexual performance and enhancing ejaculatory function, among others. In it's complete scope, penis enhancement is meant to improve all aspects of penile functioning as it relates to the male sexual condition.

While it's all too easy to become fixated on one particular facet (to the detriment of others), there are other times in which complacency itself is to blame. If we've already found something that works, why should we be bothered to try something different? This attitude, as demonstrated by our woefully inadequate coverage of the new semen volumizer product from Performer5™, serves as a reminder that we should never be dismissive of new products even if we're completely content with the performance of existing ones.

To this effect, I'd like to introduce one of the latest (and greatest) products available for men seeking to increase the total amount of semen produced during ejaculation.

Performer5/Vit5 for Semen Enhancement

I first learned of Performer5™ approximately 12 months ago. While the details at the time were sketchy, I did know that this product fit into the category of semen volumizing supplement. For those unfamiliar with this type of product, "semen volumizers" are pills specifically designed to increase the total amount of ejaculate produced during orgasm. They're also one of the most commonly used aids among male adult film stars as it enables them to consistently and repeatedly ejaculate considerable amounts of semen over the course of a filming.

At the time I had only given a cursory glance over the product and it's ingredient makeup. It seemed like a fairly decent supplement and I was reasonably sure it would meet all the necessary requirements of an effective ejaculate enhancement pill. Afterward, I had all but forgot about it as I was distracted with another endeavor.

As I alluded to earlier in this article, I was already quite content with a semen volumizing supplement which I had been personally using for years. That particular product, VolumePills™, was one of the first and most effective semen enhancement products ever on the market. Since it's inception, VolumePills™ has served thousands of men interested in significantly increasing semen volume production. There's a reason why it's remained the top-rated semen volumizer year after year – it works, and it works very well.

After a few months had gone by and I had mostly forgotten about Performer5™, I was contacted by a long-time friend of our site inquiring about it. I couldn't make an honest recommendation of this product since I had never actually used it. He suggested that he'd give it a try and let me know of his results. Since much of the product information contained on our site comes from the direct experiences of end-users, I thought this would make an excellent opportunity to learn more of this new ejaculate enhancer and gauge its performance.

Incredible Results with Performer5

About 4 months later he contacted me with glowing praise for the Performer5™ system and a breakdown of his results. In the short period of time he had been using the product, he noted the following:

• A significant improvement in ejaculate output (an almost 500% increase)
• Much greater erection response and hardness
• More intense orgasms of longer duration
• An overall increase in sex drive and sexual appetite

Needless to say, his results were fantastic! Contributing to his success are a few specifics that I had not been previously aware of.

First, Performer5™ is actually a "dual enhancement system" which includes two individual and unique supplements. In addition to the Performer5 formulation, it also provides an essential nutrient supplement called Vit5. These two products work in concert to boost semen volume output more extensively.

Second, in addition to the powerful nutrients contained in the ejaculate enhancers, Performer5™ also comes with ejaculation control exercises which further augments penile functioning and health. When I had learned that these exercises were provided by the enormously effective PenisHealth™ program, I knew that my decision to overlook this particular semen enhancement program was a mistake.

Since receiving this initial feedback, several positive reviews have been submitted by other men using the Performer5™ ejaculate enhancement system. While it remains a somewhat obscure and largely unknown product in the semen enhancement category, I'm convinced that it's status is sure to change as more and more men discover this highly effective program.

Staying Vigilant on New Innovation

If this experience has taught me anything it's that you should never turn a blind eye to innovation. It's important to remain open to new things, even if at times we find ourselves becoming complacent with those things near and dear to us.

I'm sure to keep favor with specific products, especially those that I have tried and tested and found exemplary in performance. This however does not mean I can afford to ignore new advancements in herbal science and natural medicine. It's not only an important aspect of performing penis enhancement research, it is my obligation to the readers of this site.

My hat's off to Performer5™ for introducing a hugely effective ejaculate enhancer in a market that is already dominated by others. I look forward to hearing more about this incredible product in the future!

This study was performed using 23 test subjects each of whom were concerned with having a short penis size. At the onset of the study, measurements were taken of both the flaccid (non-erect) and stretched penis as well as overall penile circumference (thickness). Patients were then instructed to wear the penis extender device for 4-6 hours per day for the first 2 weeks and then 9 hours per day until the end of the third month. They were also trained in the proper use of the device which included increasing the amount of traction force applied in predetermined intervals.

At the end of the first and third months, the length and circumference of the patients penises were measured and compared against the starting measurements.

Penis Extender Study Results

"Twenty-three cases with a mean age of 26.5 ± 8.1 years entered the study. The mean flaccid penile length increased from 8.8 ± 1.2 cm to 10.1 ± 1.2 cm and 10.5 ± 1.2 cm, respectively, in the first and third months of follow-up, which was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Mean stretched penile length also significantly increased from 11.5 ± 1.0 cm to, respectively, 12.4 ± 1.3 cm and 13.2 ± 1.4 cm during the first and second follow-up (P < 0.05). No significant difference was found regarding proximal penile girth. However, it was not the same regarding the circumference of the glans penis (9.3 ± 0.86 cm vs. 8.8 ± 0.66 cm, P < 0.05)."^†

Conclusion

"Our findings supported the efficacy of the device in increasing penile length. Our result also suggested the possibility of glans penis girth enhancement using penile extender. Performing more studies is recommended."^†

The Importance of Scientific Validation

For many, the results of this study and numerous other clinical trials (see Penis Extender Studies and Research) may be of little overall importance. Those using this particular technique already know just how effective these devices are at increasing penis size, they don't need a scientific study to tell them what they can see with their very own eyes.

That being said, this type of research does prove an important milestone in the mainstream conception of natural penis enlargement. For years penis enlargement has suffered under a stigma of skepticism and even ridicule. "Experts" claiming it impossible to increase the size of the penis, now faced with hard scientific evidence to the contrary, will undoubtedly shift their argument to the necessity of such techniques. I expect we'll hear things such as "Why does a man need a bigger penis anyway? Size doesn't really matter…"

True, everyone is allowed their own opinion when it comes to the importance of penis size. This however does not give those of differing opinions the right to belittle the beliefs of others. I believe penis size is important, I KNOW exactly how much my life has changed since enlarging my own.

Furthermore, I remain firm in my conviction that any man who is unhappy with the size of their penis has the right, even obligation, to correct his situation. If you desire to have a larger penis then the only one who can keep you from achieving your goal is YOU. Once you've taken the first step on the road to natural penis enlargement, I guarantee that your life will never be the same!

The Properties of Pomegranate

There are many varieties of pomegranate but they all share one thing in common – they provide the body with much needed vitamins and nutrients. The juice from the pomegranate berries are filled with anthocyanins, ellagic acid and tannins, all of which function as antioxidants. These antioxidants prevent free radicals in the body from destroying healthy cells and help combat many diseases including heart disease, arthritis, high blood pressure, bronchitis, LDL (bad) cholesterol and more.

Pomegranate berries are also filled with fiber, potassium and plenty of Vitamin C. These components help the body fight off colds and keep the digestive system functioning properly.

Scientific Studies on Pomegranate Benefits

Research has shown that pomegranates contain a wide variety of precious phytochemical compounds that can help in the fields of therapeutics and health care. These are just a few of the most recent clinical studies which have demonstrated the various health benefits of pomegranate.

ABSTRACT:

"Pomegranate juice is a polyphenol-rich fruit juice with high antioxidant capacity. In limited studies in human and murine models, pomegranate juice has been shown to exert significant antiatherogenic, antioxidant, antihypertensive, and anti-inflammatory effects. Pomegranate juice significantly reduced atherosclerotic lesion areas in immune-deficient mice and intima media thickness in cardiac patients on medications. It also decreased lipid peroxidation in patients with type 2 diabetes, and systolic blood pressure and serum angiotensin converting enzyme activity in hypertensive patients. Thus, the potential cardioprotective benefits of pomegranate juice deserve further clinical investigation, and evidence to date suggests it may be prudent to include this fruit juice in a heart-healthy diet."

Pomegranate for Skin Protection

ABSTRACT:

"Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation, particularly its UVB (290–320 nm) component, is the primary cause of many adverse biological effects including photoageing and skin cancer. UVB radiation causes DNA damage, protein oxidation and induces matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Photochemoprevention via the use of botanical antioxidants in affording protection to human skin against UVB damage is receiving increasing attention. Pomegranate, from the tree Punica granatum, contains anthocyanins and hydrolysable tannins and possesses strong antioxidant and anti-tumor-promoting properties. In this study, we determined the effect of pomegranate-derived products – POMx juice, POMx extract and pomegranate oil (POMo) – against UVB-mediated damage using reconstituted human skin (EpiDermTM FT-200)… Gelatin zymography revealed that pomegranate-derived products inhibited UVB-induced MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities. Pomegranate-derived products also caused a decrease in UVB-induced protein expression of c-Fos and phosphorylation of c-Jun. Collectively, these results suggest that all three pomegranate-derived products may be useful against UVB-induced damage to human skin."

Pomegranate Juice for Oral Health

ABSTRACT:

"Pomegranate components have properties that could promote oral health, including reducing the risk of gingivitis. The present study examined young adults (n = 32, split evenly among both genders), for the effects of 4 weeks of thrice daily mouth rinsing with the pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) extract PomElla® dissolved in water. This treatment changed salivary measures relevant to oral health including gingivitis. The changes were: reduced total protein (which can correlate with plaque forming bacteria readings), reduced activities of aspartate aminotransferase (an indicator of cell injury), reduced alpha-glucosidase activity (a sucrose degrading enzyme), increased activities of the antioxidant enzyme ceruloplasmin (which could give better protection against oral oxidant stress) and increased radical scavenging capacity (though this increase was significant only by nonparametric statistical analysis). A placebo of cornstarch in water did not affect these measures. These data raise the possibility of using pomegranate extracts in oral health products such as toothpaste and mouthwashes."

Polyphenols/Pomegranate For Cardiovascular Health

ABSTRACT:

"Dietary patterns are widely recognised as contributors to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Endothelial function, the elastic properties of large arteries and the magnitude and timing of wave reflections are important determinants of cardiovascular performance. Several epidemiological studies suggest that the regular consumption of foods and beverages rich in flavonoids is associated with a reduction in the risk of several pathological conditions ranging from hypertension to coronary heart disease, stroke and dementia. The impairment of endothelial function is directly related to ageing and an association between decreased cerebral perfusion and dementia has been shown to exist. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) must be maintained to ensure a constant delivery of oxygen and glucose as well as the removal of waste products. Increasing blood flow is one potential way for improving brain function and the prospect for increasing CBF with dietary polyphenols is extremely promising. The major polyphenols shown to have some of these effects in humans are primarily from cocoa, wine, grape seed, berries, tea, tomatoes (polyphenolics and nonpolyphenolics), soy and pomegranate. There has been a significant paradigm shift in polyphenol research during the last decade. This review summarises our current knowledge in this area and points the way for the development of new types of functional foods targeted to brain health through improving vascular health."

Pomegranate and Penis Enhancement

With all of the health benefits that pomegranate provides, it's easy to understand why incorporating this fruit is the logical evolution in penis enhancement supplementation. When taken regularly, pomegranate helps to:

• Increase blood supply which promotes stronger erections
• Elevate levels of nitric oxide which serves to relax blood-vessel walls and prevent erectile dysfunction
• Enhance skin protection
• Improve overall immune system health and functioning

These benefits are vital components to effectively enhancing the penis. Not only does pomegranate increase your sexual functioning and response, it also serves to boost your sex drive which helps you perform better in bed.

The great thing about penis enhancement supplements containing pomegranate is that you don't actually have to consume large amounts of the fruit each day. For instance, the product supplied by MaleExtra™ contains an incredible 500mg of pure Pomegranate 70% ellagic per daily serving. Not only does this give you the highest concentration of pomegranate available in penis enhancement pill form, it also delivers it in a method that is easily digestible for quicker absorption into the body.

When further combined with an effective penis enlargement exercise program, these pills serve to enhance your results and allow for quicker gains in size. Improving blood circulation is one of the key factors to naturally accelerating penis growth.

If you're looking to lead an active sex life while at the same time improving both your penile functioning and size, pomegranate works as an excellent solution. Instead of resorting to chemical-laden pharmaceutical drugs, let nature provide its own unique remedy – pomegranate!

The Female G-Spot

The G-Spot refers to an area within the vagina that when stimulated is said to induce extremely intense and satisfying orgasms. Many believe it to be a fixed spot on the upper vaginal wall located approximately 2 inches inside the vagina. According to some researchers, this belief may be entirely too restricted as evidence points to much greater variations among women.

Scientific Debate

The results of a debate published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine (see original abstract entitled "Who's Afraid of the G-spot?") examines the views of six separate researchers and their subsequent findings regarding the G-Spot:

"Expert #1, who is JSM's Controversy section editor, reviewed histological data from the literature demonstrating the existence of discrete anatomical structures within the vaginal wall composing the G-spot. He also found that this region is not a constant, but can be highly variable from woman to woman."

Unlike earlier beliefs regarding the G-Spot, this new theory suggests that its exact location may in fact vary from one woman to the next. Although not endorsed by everyone, this theory has been supported by other researchers:

"These data are supported by the findings discussed by Expert #2, dealing with the history of the G-spot and by the fascinating experimental evidences presented by Experts #4 and #5, showing the dynamic changes in the G-spot during digital and penile stimulation. Experts #3 and #6 argue critically against the G-spot discussing the contrasting findings so far produced on the topic."

When all is said and done, there is still no real consensus on where exactly the G-Spot is located. If it does in fact reside in different locations depending upon each individual woman then this may explain why so few men are able to consistently produce G-Spot-induced orgasms in various partners. Ultimately what may work for one woman may have no result whatsoever in another!

The Importance of Proper Stimulation

Based on my own personal experiences, I don't particularly subscribe to a "magic button" philosophy. To me it seems unlikely that there's a specific area located within EVERY WOMAN that will generate an orgasm when stimulated. Since each woman is unique and has her own preferences, I feel that experimentation is the only way to guarantee success.

Another important factor to consider when attempting to incite orgasm in women (G-Spot induced or otherwise) is the total amount of stimulation supplied. This has a lot to do with the actual size of the penis, in particular the thickness of the penile shaft.

When the width of the penis is thicker a greater amount of surface area within the vagina is stimulated. This increases the chance of contact with the G-Spot regardless of wherever it may actually be located. This is probably why penis girth is such an important aspect to many women when it comes to sexual satisfaction.

While the debate over the G-Spot is likely to continue, I do wholeheartedly agree with the researchers ultimate conclusion:

"Although a huge amount of data (not always of good quality) have been accumulated in the last 60 years, we still need more research on one of the most challenging aspects of female sexuality."

In that respect I will continue to perform my own personal "research" into the mysteries of the G-Spot. I suggest that all men do likewise… for the sake of science of course!
