Unfortunately, that's not always the image we want to present to those around us. Thankfully there are now some good options to fix those blemishes.

Premature ejaculation or PE is the number one most common men's sexual health problem. Let's face it - we've all gotten a bit overexcited and couldn't control ourselves. It's not fun, it can be awkward, and sometimes a bit messy. One of the challenges that we face as men is that because so much of our "male image" is tied up in sexual prowess, that failure to perform is something often shrouded in mystery, myth, and bravado. Let's take a look at a few of these myths as well as some treatments that will actually work to help you last longer.

Skin care is something most men neglect until you experience a problem. However, your skin is actually your largest organ, and its health directly affects everything else. If your skin is dry and cracked, you open the body to infections that can easily spread. The best way to care for this organ is to give it regular TLC, even for us guys. While we all know we need to wash our face, good summer skin care goes much deeper.

Unfortunately, this close association has caused a lot of misinformation over the years and hindered professional medical research into the legitimate applications for CBD in terms of health and wellness.

To the uninitiated race fan, it might seem like a top NASCAR driver like Matt Kenseth is simply doing what we all do every day - just a whole lot faster. While it's true that he's driving a car, there's a lot of training and physical fitness involved that makes him and his crew able to do the amazing feats you see them do on race day. For instance, in some turns a driver will experience 3 G's of force - making a 160 pound driver weigh 480 pounds in a turn. On top of this, the in-car temperatures can reach 120 degrees and yet they still need to be alert and able to response with lightning quick reflexes as they race around the track at up to 200 mph. 

For many people, the discussion of prostate health and in particular prostate cancer is something that is typically the domain of older men. However, young men get prostate cancer too.

Most men worry about what will happen if and when they lose their hair. Some guys are proactive and start shaving their heads early while others invest heavily in creams, shampoos, and other preventative measures to ward of the perceived inevitable.

Medical science has done wonderful things in the past few years. Let's take a look.

CBD seems to be the modern answer to everything from anxiety to headaches and I've seen the benefits personally so I'm an advocate for it's continued use. However, what was once a simple landscape involving mostly just creams and oil has blossomed into a complex market with vaping pens, gummies, tincture, and others.

When it comes to men’s health issues, there is one area that, to many, is still deemed taboo. Masculinity is often defined by virility and the strength of our erections. It's part of art and culture since pre-history and modern men (and women) will continue this tradition despite what media and well-meaning individuals might try to suggest.

Every day it seems like there’s a new supplement being presented as the cure-all ingredient to help improve men’s health.
