The Better-Sex Doctor: The Link Between Masturbating & Prostate Cancer! This Is The Perfect Amount Of Times To Have Sex! Strong Pelvic Floor = Better Sex! Dr Rena Malik

1. Prioritize Sexual Health as Overall Health

Recognize that sexual health issues can profoundly impact mental well-being, relationships, and signal serious underlying physical conditions like heart disease. Prioritize open conversations and professional evaluation to address concerns early.

2. Address Erectile Dysfunction Early

Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be an early warning sign of cardiovascular problems, preceding heart attacks by up to seven years. Seek medical evaluation for ED to assess underlying vascular health.

3. Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor

Perform pelvic floor exercises (Kegels) by squeezing and relaxing muscles (like stopping urine or holding a fart) for five seconds each, starting lying down. This improves orgasm, semen propulsion, and addresses issues like ED, urinary urgency, and pain.

4. Practice Open Sexual Communication

Learn to communicate your sexual desires and preferences using ‘I statements’ with your partner in neutral settings, outside the bedroom. This fosters understanding and prevents misunderstandings that can lead to relationship issues.

5. Schedule Intimacy, Not Just Sex

Set aside dedicated time for intimacy with your partner on a calendar, focusing on physical closeness and connection without the pressure of immediate sexual performance. This can help cultivate responsive desire and reconnect sexually.

6. Increase Testosterone Naturally

Optimize sleep (7-8 hours), engage in resistance exercise (especially large muscle groups), and adopt a Mediterranean-style diet rich in healthy fats while avoiding processed foods and sugar. This naturally boosts testosterone levels.

7. Extend Foreplay for Female Orgasm

Recognize that women typically take around 14 minutes to orgasm, often requiring direct clitoral stimulation, compared to men’s average of 5-6 minutes of penetration. Prioritize sufficient foreplay (around 18-20 minutes) to ensure female pleasure and orgasm.

8. Use Lubricant and Increase Foreplay

If sex is painful, increase foreplay to allow the vagina to naturally lubricate and expand, and use external lubricant. Persistent pain warrants medical evaluation.

9. Minimize Endocrine Disruptor Exposure

Reduce exposure to microplastics and endocrine-disrupting chemicals by avoiding plastic water bottles and warming food in plastic containers. This can help protect sperm quality and testosterone levels.

10. Keep Devices Away From Genitals

Avoid placing phones and laptops directly on your lap or near your genitals, as the heat generated can increase testicular temperature and negatively impact sperm production.

11. Manage Chronic Stress for Libido

Chronic stress elevates cortisol levels, which can suppress testosterone production and significantly impact libido. Implement stress management techniques to support healthy sexual desire.

12. Vary Masturbation Techniques

If you masturbate, vary your techniques and the types of erotic content you consume to prevent habituation. This helps maintain adaptability and responsiveness for sexual encounters with a partner.

13. Seek Trauma-Informed Therapy

Unresolved trauma can profoundly affect sexual health and cause physical symptoms like pelvic floor dysfunction. Seek therapy or professional help to process and resolve past traumas for improved sexual function.

14. Understand Pornography’s Unreality

Recognize that pornography is entertainment and not an accurate representation of real-life sex. Educate younger individuals on this distinction and use porn mindfully as an adult, avoiding problematic reliance.

15. Increase Ejaculation Frequency

Men who ejaculate 21 or more times a month are statistically less likely to develop prostate cancer, potentially due to the ‘prostate stagnation hypothesis’ of fluid clearance.
