HIS LENGTH AND STRENGTH…NUTRITION, HEALTH LINK

BY: FITZ-GEORGE RATTRAY

It’s time for some facts about the penis, health, nutrition, overweight and activity.  Many men are currently concerned about their comparative penis size and/or functionality. So, let us begin by taking a closer look at the numbers.

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE PENIS SIZE OF A MATURE MALE?

A 2013 paper published in the Personality and Individual Differences Journal, researchers reported the following erect average sizes after reviewing 113 countries:

4.31 inches (East Asian)

5.71 inches (European decent)

6.33 inches (African decent)

Other studies reported averages such as:

6.22 inches (European decent)

6.50 inches (African decent)

Naturally, in every group there are individuals who are significantly above average and individuals who are below average.  In general, the average range for penis lengths is about 5.4 inches give or take roughly 1 inch.

There is also a size category known as a Micropenis.  A micropenis is a penis of an adult male which is 3.33 inches or less. This is not a curable condition, but may be diagnosed in children and treated with hormone therapy.

HOW DOES BEING OVERWEIGHT AFFECT PENIS LENGTH? YOU LOSE ONE INCH OF VISIBLE PENIS FOR EVERY 30-50 POUNDS OF EXCESS FAT.

Being overweight will not alter the actual length of your penis, however if you are overweight, pubic fat may hide some of your penis length, developing “buried” penis, which aside from appearance may also present possible self-esteem, function and health issues.

This effect can be compounded by the natural length of your penis and the “type” of penis you possess.  The types in question are commonly called, “a shower” or “a grower”. 

The shower, when flaccid (not erect) will have a penis length only slightly less than its erect length.  The grower on the other hand will have a flaccid length which can double or triple in length when erect.

In either case significant flaccid and erect penis length can be hidden my pubic fat deposits associated with overweight and obesity.

As much as ½ inch of length can be hidden with a 15 to 25 pound increase in body fat.

That is, there will be 1 inch, or more, of gained visible penis length for every 30-50 pounds of fat lost.

HEALTH AND NUTRITION IS MANY TIMES MORE IMPORTANT

Ultimately health issues related to diet are more important than penis visibility.  With self-acceptance and confidence everything is possible, and with the proper understanding of your partner’s sexuality and anatomy, marvelous things can happen (which I won’t get into here). 

However, regardless of how fat or slim you are your penis functionality is an early warning system of potentially deadly health issues.

It has been long known that erectile dysfunction, which is experienced by more than 1 in 10 men under 50 and 50% of men over 50, is often an early warning of diabetes and the types of vascular and heart disease which can lead to strokes, heart failure and death.

Because the penis function is largely dependent on “plumbing”, (more specifically the condition of the inner lining of blood vessels and smooth muscles), impaired blood flow to the penis can indicate endothelial (blood vessel) dysfunction and hardening of arteries.

If you have the same sexual interest but are experiencing a reduction in erection strength and frequency, don’t wait…visit your physician, get checked out.  Erection aiding medications, Cialis, Viagra etc. do not treat the problem, just the symptom’s.  These drugs often do not work for all and often stop working and may have unwanted side effects, so they should not always be considered a long-term solution.

THINGS TO CONSIDER TO KEEP YOURSELF AND YOUR PENIS HEALTHY

Wellness is key, you can proactively avoid a plethora of problems and enhance your vitality by maintaining a healthy InteKai type lifestyle, with non-fad nutrition and activity.  Here are a few suggestions:

• Control the excess calories, regardless of what your “hunger” is telling you. If you are putting on pounds you are ingesting too many calories
• Cut out or at least reduce ingesting damaging (yes damaging) materials such as
  • Refined sugars and their products
  • Flour and its products
  • Alcohol
  • Tobacco
  • Processed meats
  • Saturated fats
• Eat plenty of healthy natural foods, high in fiber, healthy fats and micronutrients such as
  • Dark green leafy vegetables, spinach, callaloo etc.
  • Oily wild caught fish
  • Fruit
  • Avocados
  • Foods high in antioxidants, such as berries and tomatoes
  • Spices, chili, turmeric, ginger, garlic etc.
  • Foods with carotenoids, carrots
  • Natural grains, such as oatmeal
• Exercise wisely and consistently. Vascular health can be improved with exercise, as well as self confidence and the ability to handle your body as, needed.
• Consciously develop a healthy sleep pattern

With this lifestyle you can look longer, live longer and love longer.

OTHER ISSUES

Generally, eat naturally and wholesomely. Avoid the chemicals and excess processed foods. 

Other factors can have a profound effect:

• Balance your mindset. Your brain is your largest sexual organ. If you are stressed, depressed, or filled with guilt, your energies will not be available where and when you need it. This can be a self-perpetuating problem. Seek help, get a hobby and get out into nature, even an occasional walk in the park.  These have been found to be helpful.
• Ease up on the pornography.  Other than comparing yourself with the above average sized male actors, your partner cannot compete with the selectable, fast paced, fast forwardable gamut of sexually stimulating images and scenarios.  Your self-image will likely suffer and your partner will seem irrelevant in comparison, so, ease up, or, perhaps go cold turkey to reset your sensitivity levels.
• Kegels are not just for women. The squeezing exercise long known by women to exercise the muscles in region of the genitals, may also prove useful to men’s genital health.  Also, it certainly wouldn’t hurt if the lady in your life was practicing them regularly as well.

Most of all, whatever your current state is, be happy with who you are.  The odds are that there is someone out there wishing they at least have what you have to work with.  If you are on the overweight side and average sized, remember that most women have a vaginal depth of 2.73 inches to 7 inches. With the vestibule’s design and the wishbone shape of the complete clitoral structure (do the research)  you have many angles, styles combined with the intellect, compassion, and ability to communicate with your partner, to be confident and functional for both of you.
