People consider the penis a usual body organ; however, it is one of the most sensitive organs of the male human body, which can impact men’s health if not treated carefully. Here are 5 things you should never do to a penis.
- Pull or bend your penis
There isn’t a man on this planet who does not want a bigger penis. For whatever reason, every man thinks what they got is not big enough. Some of them will even go to any extent to make their junk bigger and that often results in harmful side effects. One of the popular things they do apart from popping pills and applying creams is penile stretches, where they pull and bend the penis in different ways and directions to make it bigger. According to Michael O’Leary, MD, there are still no scientifically backed techniques or procedures which can claim to successfully increase penis size, if there was they would be a billionaire.
As tempting it might be to stretch and bend thinking it will result in a bigger penis, you are only causing harm to one of the most vital parts of your body which could potentially result in a penile breakage. Penile breakage is the rupture of the penile membrane known as ‘Tunea albuginea’ which can result from those stretches as the penis is not designed to be bent or pulled. The road to recovery from a penile fracture is a tough one as it might require surgery and in some cases lead to erectile dysfunction.
- Wear tight underwear
Some of you might wonder how wearing tight briefs can cause harm to your penis, it just keeps things in place. Well, it does cause harm and this point will explain to you how. It all boils down to the temperature. You see the penis performs its best at cooler temperatures and it keeps itself cool by hanging freely below the abdomen so it can stay 3 to 4 degrees cooler than the rest of your body. It cannot do that anymore because wearing tight briefs not only lifts it closer to the abdomen but also creates a lot of friction even by doing lightweight tasks like walking and running and that too for the entire day.
According to a publication on the Pace hospital website, several studies have found that men who wear tight underwear both during the day and night tend to have significantly higher levels of fragmented DNA in their sperm. In simpler terms, wearing tight underwear can inadvertently jeopardize semen quality due to the continuous pressure and increased temperature that the testicles experience while wearing such garments throughout the day and night.
That friction can cause plenty of heat down there and any exposure to additional heat can cause a hindrance in spermatogenesis (production of sperm cells). According to a study published by the Human Reproduction journal, it found that men who wore boxers regularly had a significantly higher quantity of sperms cells than men who wore briefs on the regular. So if you are having fertility-related complications then this might be a change worth implementing.
- Consume inferior enlargement products
After having your heart broken by not getting any results even after doing those stretching exercises religiously, often the next step will be using enlargement products. There are thousands of companies selling penis enlargement products and claiming that they have the magic formulae for making your manhood bigger. But in reality what they mean is they can increase the blood flow into the penis which might result in you getting harder erections, which was never a problem for most of you in the first place.
But there is little to no scientific evidence which can prove that these products can actually enlarge or even give you harder erections. Don’t get manipulated by these companies, they are of no use and some might even damage your penis permanently. It is seen that the majority of the men who go to these extreme lengths to enlarge were never that small in the first place. They just think they’re small. This is a real psychological condition that some men have called penile ‘dysmorphic disorder’. No matter how big they are, they always perceive it as small.
- Pierce or tattoo your penis
Tattooing and piercing body parts is a practice that has been done for several centuries. Different people do this for different reasons, some to look cool and unique whereas some to get protected from the evil spirits. Since that time it has evolved and come to a position where no body part is off-limits, even private parts. But piercing or tattooing private parts comes with additional challenges for the artist. And if your artist does not live up to that challenge, it’s you who is going to suffer.
You see, the penis is an organ where the nerve endings are densely packed and with little protection, so while poking holes even a small mistake can make the penis dysfunctional. Some of the common complications that can arise from piercing and tattoos are; infections like (hepatitis and HIV) from non-sterilized needles, nerve damage (can lead to erectile dysfunction), scarring (can desensitize your penis), bleeding.
Healthline Media reports that genital piercings have been associated with an increased risk of transmitting blood-borne sexually transmitted infections (STIs), particularly due to the higher likelihood of PA (Prince Albert) jewelry breaking a condom. Additionally, such piercings can lead to penile tissue damage. The protruding jewelry may rub against and erode penis tissue, potentially causing calloused areas that can reduce sensation.
So if you love your penis, don’t poke holes in it because it’s all fun and games until it doesn’t get hard anymore. But for those of you who have completely made up their mind to get inked in their crown jewel, just make sure that your piercer or tattoo artist is taking care of their hygiene and keeping their instruments sanitized to avoid any unpleasant experience.
- Don’t poke where it doesn’t belong
You know one thing about men, especially if they are horny is that they will go to any extent to get rid of their boner and to get that real sex feeling. But one of the most important things to learn is: don’t poke your meat where it doesn’t belong. Many men and also teenage boys will put their penis inside objects like sockets, bottles, and even foods like pies and porridge. I am not even joking; there have been many such cases that have been reported where they needed emergency medical attention. Wall sockets can potentially shock you and porridge can burn your penis if it’s too hot. I am not against masturbation, matter of fact it is a healthy habit having several benefits but taking it to extreme levels can cause more harm than good. Regular masturbation can reduce premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and also reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
There are numerous sex toys for men that can simulate real sex and provide intense pleasure. Some of the toys like cock rings, fleshlights, and vibrators are the most popular products demanded by men. So if you are someone who can’t keep their emotions in check, investing in good quality sex toys might be a good choice for you. It might also save you a trip to the ER.

- Use harsh cleaning detergents
You may feel dirty and want your penis to be squeaky clean. Hence you could try out industrial or household cleaning products to attain this level of sparkle.
But you need to be cautious. After all, your penis isn’t a marble worktop, so doesn’t need that level of scrubbing.
Instead, it’s very delicate and comprises tight sensitive components and veins. So forget even thinking about applying toilet bleach, floor cleaners, and sink grease stripper on it.
Applying even a mild solution of some abrasive detergent would simply sore the area and inflame your groin.
Harsh soaps could cause balanitis. This is a form of painful inflammation of the penis head triggered by chemicals in cleaning items.
It brings a burning sensation while urinating and pus could also appear on your penis. Still, harsh skin care products dry the delicate skin around your penis.
So chose very mild detergent such as baby shampoo and fabric softener to deep clean your penis.
Also, Lybrate advises against using soap as a lubricant for masturbation due to potential problems. The chemicals and fragrances in soap can irritate the sensitive genital area, causing redness, dryness, and possible allergic reactions. Additionally, soap can disturb the natural pH balance, leading to discomfort and an increased risk of infections. The residue left on the skin may cause further discomfort and hygiene concerns. To ensure a pleasurable and safe experience, it is recommended to use purpose-made lubricants designed for intimate use instead.
- Applying too much pressure
Penis can stretch and work under strenuous circumstances. And when thinking about penis enhancement, you are probably considering vigorous exercises.
Jelqing and other methods of penis enlargement are good. But then you need to know how much pressure and friction you should apply.
Your penis is just a void that fills with blood to engorge. It doesn’t have any muscles that stiffen under pressure.
Hence exerting too much pressure only causes injuries and soreness to your sensitive organ. Intense friction is bad.
It results in friction burn and chafing. This action prevents you from urinating properly.
Still, you can’t possibly engage in sex if you are nursing blisters. To avoid such situations, use lubricants when manipulating your penis.
And don’t pick on any oil as a club. You need to check that it’s water-based or silicon-based to avoid infections and smell
Even while using lubricants, you still have to be gentle with the process. Besides, space intervals are sufficient to avoid penile fatigue.
In conclusion, we have discussed five things men and their partners should never do to a penis. We hope we have provided enough health-related risks and hazards to help you avoid doing certain things to your penis.
