Member Health Matters in Open Relationships

Open relationships are quite the debated topic in today’s hook-up culture. Every man has at least considered the concept at one time or another, even if he never chose to act upon the possibilities. Some men truly believe in monogamy and want to be with only one partner, while others eschew monogamy and prefer to seek out multiple partners. Good male organ care matters at all times, whether a man is monogamous with his partner or not – but if a man is engaging in open relationships, paying special attention to member health is necessary.

What open relationships mean for member health

Though there are many arguments that can be made concerning the moral, ethical or emotional issues that surround open relationships, one of the few certain points is that of good physical health. Those in open relationships or considering the possibilities must keep their own health, as well as the health of their partners, at the forefront during their adventures. Here are a few points to ponder when making the decision to stay monogamous or go sample other options:

1. Get tested. Anyone who is socially active should be tested for a variety of socially shared infections. Since many of these infections can be passed from one person to another without any symptoms whatsoever, testing is vitally important to ensure the health of everyone involved.

2. Use barrier protection. As the notches on the bedpost add up, so do the risks of socially shared infections and accidental pregnancy. Using barrier protection each and every time is the key to ensuring no unwelcome surprises. In addition to using barrier protection for penetrative and other intimate play, also consider the use of dental dams and latex gloves when appropriate.

3. Set firm boundaries. Partners who choose to open up their relationship should do so only if each person is comfortable with it. From instance, are certain intimate acts to be avoided? What happens if barrier protection fails? Is double protection – such as the use of a barrier while a woman is on hormone control – a requirement? Setting boundaries can help enhance the experience and ensure better health.

4. Always be honest. Each new partner deserves to know what they are getting into. Make it clear to everyone involved that any encounter is part of experimentation and fun in the context of an open relationship. Everyone should be tested and openly share the results. Honesty will go a long way toward keeping everyone safe and avoiding misunderstandings.

5. Pay close attention to member health. Remember that some socially shared infections will show up as rather benign rashes or bumps. Pay very close attention to member health, including daily inspections of the manhood, to ensure that everything looks the same. Any changes should bring a halt to intimate play while the condition is monitored or the advice of a doctor is sought.

Ensuring the best member health possible

Every man wants to look his best when engaging in intimate fun with a new partner. To that end, men who are excited about the possibilities should seek out a top-notch manhood health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) to help ensure great member health. The best crèmes are those created of a strong emollient, such as Shea butter, and numerous vitamins and nutrients that can be absorbed through the skin. Look for vitamins A, C, D and E, as well as vitamin B5. Natural amino acids and antioxidants are also recommended to keep skin as healthy as possible. Remember that healthy skin is handsome skin, and that will pay off in spades when it’s time to get busy with someone new.
