The sun will always rise in the morning; your penis, however, is not a guarantee. Not everyone experiences morning wood every single morning. Sometimes your pecker needs some extra beauty sleep. Your penis sleeping in every now and then is nothing to be concerned about. That being said, if you have a sudden and consistent absence of morning wood, it is good to consult your primary care physician or urologist. It may be a sign of a health issue or erectile dysfunction. It is also important to consult a doctor if your morning wood lasts long after breakfast or you are experiencing painful erections. Regular checkups are a great way to keep tabs on your internal alarm clock!
We’ve all heard the saying, “it’s not the size of the boat but the motion in the ocean.” While there may be some truth, who would choose a dingy when you could have a luxury liner? Studies have shown that about thirty percent of men are unhappy with the size of their penis. I am sure you are thinking, “what can be done about it?” There are many myths about increasing your size: pills, potions, and procedures. We are here to dispel the rumors and shed some light on the situation. Popstar Labs has the penis size tips (and not just the tip) you need to pump up your 🍆.
With Grey Sweatpants Season upon us, it is more important than ever to puff up your package. With our tips, your VPL (visible penis line) will turn (both) heads everywhere you go.
There are several unconventional ways to make your penis bigger. Traction devices can be used to stretch your shaft slowly over time. In certain studies, men were instructed to wear small weights on their flaccid penis for 4-6 hours a day to gain a few inches. Like a phallic Cross Fit. The results varied, but the most successful specimens of the studies only saw a three-centimeter increase. The research on traction devices is limited, and determining their safety would require more research.
Vacuums, or penis pumps, are often used to gain some more girth. This device pumps out air to create a vacuum that stimulates blood flow, causing your shaft to swell. While these devices treat erectile dysfunction, no evidence suggests they can permanently pump up your package.
Surgery is another method used for penis enhancement. Fat cells can be injected from other parts of the body to increase girth and width. On average, it can add around 2.5 centimeters after 12 months. However, many potential side effects include swelling, disfigurement, scarring, and infection. You have to ask yourself what you’re willing to risk for just a couple of centimeters.
No, it isn’t the latest TikTok dance trend. Jelqing is an exercise used to stimulate blood flow to the penis by gently pulling with your thumb and forefingers. This may pump up your package during an erection but is unlikely to increase your size permanently. While this stroking method may step up your sausage’s self-esteem, there are many potential side effects, such as bruising, pain, and fibrosis. Jelqing is more of an ego stroke, if anything, and may be better off as a TikTok trend after all.
While there may not be many proven methods to actually increase the size of your penis, there are plenty of ways to make it look bigger. We’re talking optical illusions, like a magic trick for your prick. Many underwear companies have found a solution to the petite pecker problem. Their products contain technology in the pouch of the underwear that lifts and accentuates your male attributes, just like a push-up bra for your penis.
Manscaping is another way to create the illusion of having a larger penis. If you are horizontally challenged below the belt, you aren’t doing yourself any favors by not manscaping. Why hide your light under a bushel? Even if it’s just a little light (of mine), you gotta let it shine. Plus, nothing is a bigger turn-off for your partner than searching for it like they're on a jungle excursion. If your partner needs hedge clippers or a machete to go south of the border, that is a no-go. Although manscaping may be tedious, many electric razors are designed for a seamless shaving experience. Nicks, cuts, and razor burns are a thing of the past. Less hair means more length, so make sure manscaping is part of your regular self-care routine.
Staying in shape can help create the illusion of a larger penis. are dissatisfied with the size of your digit, shedding some weight may be the key. Staying in shape will help your package, and a six-pack will help your overall self-esteem and promote mental health.
While many men may be insecure about their size, it is important to remember that the average penis is around 5.5 inches when erect. If you are going to look for methods to maximize your member, Popstar Labs wants to ensure you are going about it safely! And who knows, maybe there is something to that “motion in the ocean” thing.
As doctors, we're often asked about lifestyle factors that impact male fertility. Believe it or not, it's a common topic of conversation that takes place in the privacy of our office more than at your partner’s book club. So we compiled a list of lifestyle contributors you can easily incorporate into your routine to improve male fertility.
First, the age-old boxers v briefs debate? It's a common question, but did you know that wearing boxers instead of briefs can actually help improve male fertility? Boxers allow for better airflow and temperature regulation in the groin area, which can promote healthy sperm production. If you're a briefs person, maybe save them for special occasions like the weekend and rock the boxers for the boring stuff.
Temperature also matters, men need to keep their cool in the area down under. This means avoiding things like hot tubs and saunas and not sitting with a laptop or cell phone on your lap for extended periods. Keeping things cool down there can help improve sperm count and quality.
As if we need another pre-summer bod reason to exercise, here's another. Regular exercise is good for your overall health and improves male fertility. Studies have shown that men who exercise regularly have higher sperm counts and better-quality sperm than those who are sedentary. So go for that run, pick up those weights, and start an exercise routine that suits your schedule.
Eating a balanced diet is always a good idea. We're adding to your list of reasons for improving your sperm production as well. A healthy diet promotes good overall health, but certain nutrients are essential for male fertility. Foods high in antioxidants, such as berries and leafy greens, can help protect sperm from damage. Foods rich in zinc, such as oysters and pumpkin seeds, can also help boost sperm production.
Sleep is essential. And often overlooked as a factor of good health. So, try to stick to a routine bed and rise time. Lack of sleep can increase stress levels, negatively impacting sperm count and quality. Make sure you're getting enough restful sleep each night. Your body, your brain and your swimmers will thank you for it.
Supplements can promote healthy sperm. We know certain ingredients like L-Arginine and Zinc have been studied in the promotion of healthier sperm. L-arginine is a precursor for spermin, an amine that boosts sperm production. Also, L-arginine is required for all new cell formation, and thus for sperm development. It is a trigger for protein production, which is necessary for sperm formation. Zinc is essential in spermatogenesis as a component of steroid receptors and metalloenzymes involved in DNA transcription. Furthermore, zinc's high concentration in seminal fluid (approximately 30 times higher than in blood7) suggests a link to semen quality, potentially through its antioxidant functions
These are just a few factors that can improve your sperm quality and motility. By following these lifestyle tips, men can take steps to improve their fertility and increase their chances of starting a family, if that's what you're going for. And remember, if you're experiencing difficulty with fertility or sperm production, it's always a good idea to talk to a doctor or fertility specialist for personalized advice and treatment options.
Popstar Labs ReviewIs meditation part of foreplay for you and your partner? If it’s not, it should be! Mindfulness may seem like an overused buzzword these days. We hear it ad nauseam about everything, including mindful eating, mindful drinking and mindful parenting. When a wellness trend becomes as ubiquitous as mindfulness, it’s easy to roll your eyes and assume it’s mostly hype. If that’s the case for you, I urge you to keep an open mind because today, we’re going to talk about the most fun mindfulness practice of all – mindful sex.
In theory, being mindful is easy. You simply bring awareness to your breath and focus your attention on the moment. In reality, it can be incredibly difficult. Our brains are like hamster wheels, spinning feverishly with thoughts and worries. For most of us, the second we close our eyes and try to focus, we start to think about the laundry, the credit card bills, the project at work, the big date on Friday, and on, and on, and on...
If that sounds like you, don’t worry. They call it mindfulness practice for a reason. We have to train ourselves to be mindful. We have to practice closing our eyes, breathing deeply, sitting still and existing completely in the moment. One of the most fun and rewarding ways to practice mindfulness is through sex. Whether it’s masturbating on your own or exploring with a partner, mindful sex not only increases pleasure and improves orgasms, but it can also help to heal trauma and combat sexual dysfunction.
If you’re one of the millions who struggle with sex, it will come as no shock that about 43% of women and 31% of men suffer from some type of sexual dysfunction. Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (a lack of desire or low sex drive) affects approximately 30% of women and 15% of men. Sexual arousal disorders such as erectile dysfunction are found in 10% to 20% of the entire population and almost 30% of men complain of premature ejaculation.
The root causes of these disorders can be physical or psychological in nature. People who have a history of sexual abuse or trauma can go on to experience difficulty achieving sexual fulfillment. Medications, pre-existing health conditions and relationship issues can also affect sexual desire and performance. The good news is that no matter what your particular sexual challenge is, there’s a good chance that a mindfulness practice can help.
Even if you don’t have a diagnosed sexual dysfunction, you may still have room for improvement in the bedroom. For instance, if you engage in a practice called “spectatoring,” you may very well find yourself distracted during sex. Instead of being completely absorbed in what you’re feeling in the moment, you’re observing from a third-person point of view, which may lead to being self-conscious or critiquing the way you look or perform. Distraction while doing the deed is the easiest way to sabotage your sex life, and that’s where mindfulness comes in.
Imagine yourself lying in bed, eyes closed. Your mind is blank, and your only focus is on the physical sensation of being touched. A thought enters your mind. Maybe you forgot to feed the dog. You acknowledge that thought and let it go without worrying about it or judging yourself for having it in the first place. You focus your mind back to your body and the sensations that you’re feeling. You’re 100% immersed in the touch, the feeling, the pleasure. That is what mindful sex looks like.
You might be thinking to yourself that this is easier said than done. However, there are some simple tools you can employ to help with distraction. The biggest tool you have in any mindfulness practice is your breath. Inhale deeply and bring your attention to your breathing. If you’re with your partner, breathe in their scent. Let it wash over you and connect you to them. Staying mindful during sex is not only a great way to achieve orgasm, but it’s also a great way to achieve greater intimacy with your partner or connection to yourself.
Just like with traditional meditation, there are structured forms and non-structured forms. For instance, Orgasmic Meditation or OM is to sexual meditation what Transcendental Meditation or TM is to traditional meditation. If you have a couple thousand dollars and want to take structured classes, that might be a good option for you. However, it’s really not necessary at all. There’s no wrong way to practice mindfulness in your life or your sex life.
Even though enhanced sexual pleasure and orgasm are awesome, they’re not the end goal of mindful sex. In this case, it’s all about the journey and not the destination. It’s about feeling and exploring your body and/or your partner’s body in a way that is completely focused and intentional. Use all of your five senses. Truly taste, touch, smell, hear and see yourself and your partner. Bring your focus back to one of these senses when you get distracted.
As with anything, the more you practice, the better you get. Try practicing mindfulness in your day-to-day life as well. Maybe take five to 15 minutes a day to meditate. You can use an app like Headspace or simply close your eyes and bring attention to your breath. The more you practice being in the present moment, the easier and more natural it will be to re-enter a state of mindfulness at will. Staying mindful in your day-to-day life will also help to relieve stress, which we all know is a powerful libido-killer.
The scientific literature on meditation and mindfulness is still evolving. However, we know that meditation and mindfulness positively affect our physical, spiritual, emotional and mental well-being. As we continue to research the benefits, I think the medical community will increasingly add sexual well-being to that list. In the meantime, I would encourage you to add mindfulness to your sexual repertoire. It may just become your favorite thing in the world to practice.
You’ve heard of No Shave November and even No Nut November (in which we would never ask you to participate), but have you heard of Movember? Movember is the leading charity in changing the face of men’s health. Popstar Labs is here to spill the tea on all things Movember so you can know before you grow!
In 2003, Travis Garone and Luke Slattery joked about “bringing the moustache back” and convinced their friends to grow one in an attempt to make them popular again. Inspired by a friend’s mother who was fundraising for breast cancer, they decided to make their mo-vement about men’s health and prostate cancer. The two created the rules for Movemeber, which are still in effect today, and decided to charge 10 dollars to grow a moustache, or “Mo,” as they like to call it. After creating the very first Movember logo, the two recruited 30 men willing to participate in the challenge through an email campaign, forming the original Mo Bros.
In 2004, just a little over a year later, the mo-vement grew from 30 to 450 Mo Bros across Australia, the UK, and Spain. The 450 Mo Bros were able to raise and donate 54,000 AUD to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA).
Since those early years, Movember’s mo-vement has grown exponentially. There are official campaigns in over 21 countries, and together they have raised over 730 million AUD. While they still support prostate cancer, Movember has broadened its focus to other men’s health issues, such as mental health, physical inactivity, and testicular cancer. As a result, what started as just 30 moustaches has grown (quite literally) to 5 million and counting.
