Semen, or cum, is actually made up of ninety percent (90%) seminal fluids including fructose (sugar) and proteins; sperm accounts for only about one percent (1%) of its total volume and the rest is made up of trace minerals and nutrients.

Many guys are concerned with what their semen tastes like. This may rise from the fact that they want to score blow jobs. First of all, you can stress to your partner that semen will not make a person fat. It contains only about 12 to 15 calories per ejaculation; the same amount found in gelatin or egg white.

Some people say that semen tastes bitter, salty, or even acrid. So for loads of exciting fun in the bedroom, you can make your partner swallow your cum if you make your cum taste better.

Since semen is excreted by the body, its taste and smell would most likely be affected by what you eat and drink. What is the best diet for better-tasting cum?

For one, you should start living a clean and healthy lifestyle. Say no to alcohol, drugs and nicotine. Avoid junk foods and instead have lots of fruits and greens in your diet. Plus, drink a lot of liquids (water).

Drinking fruit juices from pineapple, citrus, and cranberry is also known to make your cum taste sweeter. Throw in melon, mango, apple, or grape, and other fruits that are high in sugar. Likewise, vegetables like parsley and celery are recommended.

There are also some foods that you should steer clear of. Fish and red meat produce a bitter, fishy taste because of their alkaline content. Chemically-processed alcohol can also make your semen taste bitter. Instead, try naturally fermented drinks for a change. Garlic and onion are likely to produce strong odors since they are high in sulfur; so lay off on these.

A better-tasting semen is good; but having extra loads of better-tasting semen is better. The volume of your load depends upon a number of concerns, including age, heredity, and general health. We practically can’t change our age and genetics, but we could instead make dietary adjustments. There are various supplements that you can take like zinc oxide, Horny Goat Weed, L-Arginine, L-Lysine which are supposed to boost quantity of your load.

By simply increasing your fluid intake, you can increase the amount of your ejaculation. When your body is well hydrated, your body systems are able to work more efficiently and have less trouble getting water from the bloodstream.

The prostate gland goes through two main stages of growth during a man’s life. The first sees fairly rapid growth during the early years of puberty with the prostate roughly doubling in size. The second stage of growth starts in a man’s mid-twenties and this is a much slower phase of growth which then continues throughout life.

For the vast majority of men this second phase of growth does not cause any problems at all until they are well into their sixties or seventies when the symptoms caused by the now enlarged prostate will begin to appear and a visit to the doctor will reveal the presence of nothing more than a simple enlarged prostate. In medical terms, your doctor will say that you are suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia, benign prostatic hypertrophy or BPH.

The prostate sits just below the bladder and partially surrounds the urethra – the tube which carries urine from the bladder. As the prostate gland grows, the tissue surrounding it restricts its expansion and causes the prostate to close around the urethra, thus restricting the flow through the urethra. At the same time, the bladder wall thickens and the bladder starts contracting even when it contains relatively small amounts of urine. In the end, the bladder weakens and loses its ability to contract and thus to empty itself, so that urine remains trapped in the bladder.

The precise symptoms experienced as a result of an enlarged prostate will clearly vary from person to person but, as a general rule, the first signs will be a change in your pattern of urination or a difficulty in urinating.

You may find, for example, that you start to experience a weak flow of urine or that the flow appears hesitant, tending to stop and start. You may also find that you are unable to hold on and calls to the bathroom become urgent. Trips to the bathroom may also become more frequent, especially during the night, and you may also notice a tendency to leak or dribble urine.

In some cases you may be completely unaware of any problem until you suddenly find that you cannot urinate at all. In this case, referred to as acute urinary retention, the underlying problem is often triggered by common medicines which contain a decongestant and which are used in cold and allergy treatments. Acute urinary retention can also be brought on by alcohol, cold or a long period of immobility.

In the majority of cases these symptoms result simply from an enlarged prostate and this will be confirmed by a visit to your doctor who can often treat the condition fairly easily. It is, however, important that you do indeed visit your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms as, in a small number of cases, they may be indicative or a more serious underlying problem, such as prostate cancer.

A visit to the doctor is also essential as, although many cases of BPH may be treated quite easily, the condition can lead to an infection of the urinary tract, damage to the bladder and/or kidneys, stones in the bladder and incontinence.

An early visit to the doctor can have the problems associated with an enlarged prostate cleared up quickly and considerably reduce the risk of developing complications.

A man’s inability to perform a sexual act can be debilitating to his mental health. It is also one of the most commonly experienced health concerns by a man. Almost every man, at some point in time in his life will complain of this health ailment, unfortunately. The cycle of erectile dysfunction can spiral quickly downwards into a frustrating and emotional situation for both the man, and any relationship he is pursuing.

There are three stages to the erection process in a man; any of these three stages can host physical or emotional health problems that create a dysfunction.

At the first stage, which is arousal, a man receives stimulation from only his thoughts and/or senses. During the second stage, a man’s brain is talking to the arousal function, telling the body to increase blood flow to the penis. At the final, third stage, the blood vessels of the penis enlarge, allowing more blood to flow through and therefore an erection to occur. If anything inhibits, disrupts or confuses any of these processes, erectile dysfunction may ensue.

A Man’s Health: The Facts about Erectile Dysfunction

A man is more likely to ask for help about his health problems than a woman is;

At times the resolution of the problem can be as simple as contraception, communication, reassurance and information sharing;

It affects almost every man at some point in time in his life, no matter what his health status;

Almost one third of a man’s partners will also have a sexual, or health, dysfunction;

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

A Man’s Health: The Physical Causes of Erectile Dysfunction
There are quite a few physical reasons why a man may be having health problems surrounding his erectile functions. They include: effects from surgery, trauma to the penis or testicles, diseases or conditions (such as diabetes, flu, renal failure, Parkinson’s disease, etc.), drug abuse, medications (such as antidepressants, high blood pressure medications, etc.), smoking, hormonal imbalances, too much alcohol intake, and the aging process.

A Man’s Health: The Psychological Causes of Erectile Dysfunction
If all of the physical health reasons for a man not to have normal erectile function have been covered, then the psychological reasons are closely looked at next. These could include: lowered sexual desire, depression, mental fatigue, stress, guilt, problems with the relationship, lack of interest in sex from their partner or anxiety disorders.

A Man’s Health: Treatments for Erectile Dysfunction
The best way to treat a man’s problem with his health is to first discuss the issues with your doctor, and then with your partner. Both are important in determining not only the causes of the problem, but appropriate treatments as well. Some treatments used regularly are: counseling, intracavernosal drugs (such as prostaglandin E.), education/advice, drugs (such as Sildenafil), vacuum devices, prosthetics, or surgery.

As a result, they not only reduce or entirely eliminate the pain, but they are also able to participate in a greater number of activities.”

Hundreds of thousands of women undergo breast augmentation surgery each year. While breast implants have become very common, it’s important to remember that breast augmentation is a real surgery that requires careful consideration and research to find a plastic surgeon that can achieve the results you want. Below you’ll find answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about breast augmentation surgery.

What is a breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation is the process of adding a saline implant or a gel implant into the breast for those who are unhappy with the size of their breasts or have experienced sagging after weight loss or pregnancy. Implants are either inserted underneath the chest muscle or directly under the breast to create a natural looking and feeling breast with a youthful, full appearance.

Will there be scarring?

Because the augmentation is a surgical procedure, scars are inevitable. However, a plastic surgeon can greatly minimize the visual scars with strategic incisions. Depending on how the surgery is done, an incision is made either around the areola, along the natural crease below the breast, through the armpit, or through the navel. The choice of incisions is dictated by the patient’s anatomy taking advantage of the areas where a scar is most easily hidden.

What size breast is right for my body type?

Your desired size depends on your perception of the ideal proportions. The difficultly however, is in conveying this ideal to your doctor. Speaking in terms of cup size alone is unreliable. Instead your breast augmentation surgeon should allow you to try on a bra in your choice of size along with a sample implant to find the ideal size. This way there is less room for misinterpretation and a higher chance that you’ll be satisfied with the outcome.

Will I lose sensation in my breasts after augmentation?

Loss of sensation may be expected. The placement of the implants beneath the breast and / or muscle tissue involves division of some of the sensory nerves to the breast.

Are implants safe?

There are always risks with any type of surgical procedure but for the most part, implants are extremely safe. The number of women getting breast augmentations has steadily increased over the years with very relatively few complications. Today’s breast augmentations are done with safe, natural looking saline implants that cause very few complications.

Is it going to hurt?

A breast augmentation is a true surgery and does involve the possibility of pain, swelling, bruising, and tenderness. It is performed under a general anesthesia so that you won’t feel pain during the breast augmentation procedure itself. In the first 48 hours after breast augmentation you will be most comfortable if you use ice and elevation. If the implants have been placed beneath the muscle, muscle relaxants are used to prevent the cramping discomfort associated with stretched muscles. The pain is usually at its greatest during the first 48 hours, after which the body begins to heal and swelling begins to subside. Your doctor will prescribe pain medications that will drastically reduce the pain but may leave you feeling drowsy. After 48 hours of rest and elevation you may begin to increase activity. Many women are driving at 4-6 days and you may expect to resume aerobic activity at three weeks.

A breast augmentation can make a dramatic impact on a woman’s sense of self esteem and level of confidence. By asking the right questions of prospective plastic surgeons, you can greatly reduce the chances of complication and enjoy full, supple breasts that look and feel great.

Men taking Viagra may be at the risk of having a reduced fertility. The report coming out of the latest study on the effect of Viagra in the motility and life span of sperm would definitely give a rude shock to many would-be fathers, who have been feeding on a staple diet of Viagra for an enhanced sexuality. Men may need some time of reckoning, weighing the pros and cons of the after-effects of Viagra use, before they start using the erectile dysfunction pill.

David Glenn, one of the pioneers in the team that conducted the test tube experiments at Queen’s University in Belfast, Northern Ireland said, “Viagra, the anti-impotence drug speeds sperm up, and also cause the vital reaction needed to penetrate an egg to occur prematurely.” It is true that most men use Viagra for reasons of impotence, and majority of the users are in their middle ages, with no contemplation to father a child. It may not be an issue for this class of users.

However, the rising number of young people with erectile dysfunction, taking Viagra may need to give second thoughts to Viagra use, if at all they have plans to become fathers in the near or far future. And with lots of youngsters taking Viagra for recreational ends, many people may come to regret their nasty decisions later in life.

The research team took 45 semen samples from men attending a fertility clinic, and introduced Viagra to half of them, while keeping the other half for a controlled experiment. The dose of Viagra was clinically measured to have a concentration, equivalent to the level of Viagra in blood plasma, when a man takes a 100ml. pill. It was found that the sperm treated with Viagra started speeding up in 15 minutes flat and lasted for about 135 minutes.

After two hours of observation it was also seen that the around 79 % more sperm were in a fully reacted state in the Viagra samples, than in the controlled experiment. In this acrosome reaction, the head of the sperm releases digestive enzymes that are needed to break down the wall of the egg shell for a sperm to enter an egg to fertilize. The premature reaction of the sperm may be detrimental to the process of fertilization.

Sildenafil, the main component of Viagra inhibits phosphodiesterase, an enzyme that helps in the breakdown of messenger molecules related to energy production. The inhibition of energy breakdown leads to the increase of energy level in the cells, resulting in the augmented motility of the sperm, which can be harmful to the development of the embryo. It definitely does not call for Viagra use, if a person cares to produce heirs.

It is high time that the users of Viagra comprehend the dire consequences of Viagra consumption for recreational and frivolous purposes. If you have a desire to sire a few offspring worth your salt, start taking Viagra with a pinch of salt.

Menopause isn’t typically a life threatening condition – but in extreme cases, it can bring upon symptoms like rapid heart beat that feel like it is. The occasional feeling that your heart “skips a beat” does not necessarily indicate a serious medical problem. For those with menopause, rapid heart beat should be monitored by your doctor to check for a mitral valve prolapse which is a mild deformity of a heart valve.

Palpitation is when the heart races repeatedly without any sign of stopping. It’s not only extremely uncomfortable, it’s downright frightening. Premature contractions cause the heart to beat twice really quickly, causing more blood to enter the heart on the third beat. This increased amount of blood makes the heart contract even more. In essence, it is a forceful pulsation that can sometimes be caused by stress.

Stress can come from menopausal symptoms like irregular periods, annoying ringing of the ears (tinnitus), insomnia, panic attacks, depression, and everyday occurrences like the simple yelling and shouting of a child at the playground.

When you perceive a stressor, hormones form your brain pass into the bloodstream alerting the adrenal glands. In response they secrete corticosteroid hormone including cortisol.

When cortisol raises sometimes twenty fold, the body speeds up its blood sugar burning capacity providing an instant surge of energy. Cortisol causes your heart to beat faster in order to pump oxygen-bearing blood more quickly into your tissues. Too much of cortisol can lead to diabetes or high blood pressure, so this is a process of you can to be conscious of and learn to cope with by practicing such relaxing techniques as yoga, meditation and Pilates.

The addition of caffeine loaded drinks can worsen this condition as can smoking. In order to avoid rapid heart beat and palpitations, it is best to refrain from stress and maintain a healthy diet. Alcohol and coffee are known to excite the heart’s processes, causing it to work much harder than it has to.

Consider one of the most potent forces now marketed to rapidly aging baby-boomers: Replacement hormone therapy. Estrogen is touted to alleviate symptoms from hot flashes, prevent osteoporosis (the so-called “brittle bone” disease of aging), and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

But estrogen is not without risk. Because “pure” estrogen increases the risk of uterine cancer, some women take a combination pill which combines estrogen and progestin. Although this lowers the risk of uterine cancer, some experts worry that any replacement hormone might increase the long-term risk of breast cancer. The long-awaited results of the Postmenopausal Estrogen/ Progestin Intervention Trials released last November revealed that hormones reduced the risk of heart disease but the study was too short-term to address the possible long-term breast cancer risk.

Estrogen or exercise?

Before you reach for a hormone pill or a patch, consider a “wonder” therapy that you may have overlooked. It’s called exercise.

Walking has been shown to lower high blood pressure and exercise can help control, and possibly even prevent, diabetes. Both high blood pressure and diabetes are strong heart disease risk factors in women.

As for osteoporosis, weight-bearing exercises, such as walking and lifting weights, help build strong bones. Even swimming, not traditionally thought of as a bone-builder, may be beneficial.

Remember though, if you have heart disease or other medical problems, talk to your doctor before undertaking vigorous exercise.

If you’ve undergone a hysterectomy, have severe menopausal symptoms, or very strong risk factors for heart disease or osteoporosis, hormones may benefit you. But whether or not you opt for replacement hormones, you may want to join me in trying exercise, the other “miracle” therapy.

Women’s Health Facts:

According to the experts, the most common sexual problem experienced by female heart patients is a lack of desire.

If a woman has undergone heart surgery, she may feel undesirable because of her incision. Or she may be afraid of taking an active role when having sex.

Her partner may hold back out of fear of hurting her. To make matters worse, some medications can dampen passion.

The key to a good sexual relationship is the same as the key to any other good relationship communication. If you’re accustomed to discussing your problems frankly, you should find it easier to talk about those of a sexual nature.

One of the biggest fears experienced by all heart patients, male or female, is that sexual excitement will lead to a heart attack. Happily, this fear simply is not grounded in fact. Here are the facts for most women:

If you are able to climb a flight of stairs without becoming short of breath or experiencing chest pain you should be able to resume passive sex with safety.

If you are planning to be the active partner, or anticipate finding sex especially exciting, climbing two flights of stairs without breathlessness or chest pain is the rule-of-thumb.
If you have concerns, talk to your doctor. An approved exercise program can help you get into shape for anything, including sex!

A heart-healthy lifestyle should include a satisfying sex life as well. And that’s no joke.
