Avoiding Male Organ Injury from Bruising The manhood is one of a guy’s most important body parts – indeed, to some it is THE most important one – and so men want to be sure to avoid anything that can result in a male organ injury. One of the most common kinds of male organ injury is that which results from bruising of the organ. Knowing what can cause bruising helps man avoid this male organ injury. Common reasons for male organ bruising There is any number of things that can result in bruising to the manhood, including: Blunt force. When the member receives a sharp, hard blow of any kind, it can result in bruising – just as such blunt force results in a bruise on any other part of the body. This is a common cause of bruising among athletes, which is why wearing an athletic supporter with a plastic cup is recommended when engaging in heavy duty contact sports. The last thing a guy wants is a line-drive baseball coming into contact with a totally unprotected manhood. Priapism. Although men joke about wishing they could stay tumescent for days on end, priapism – a condition in which a man maintains a painful tumescence for four or more hours –is no joke. Priapism can cause serious damage to manhood tissue and result in tumescence dysfunction – as well as in serious bruising. Seeking medical help in cases of priapism is crucial. Self-pleasuring. Everyone loves a good self-pleasuring session, but sometimes a guy can get a little too intense with his self-fondling. Using a death grip, ignoring the need for lubrication (and relubrication during lengthy self-pleasuring sessions), or slapping or pounding the member may result in an intense release - but it may also leave behind bruising which may take days to heal. Being mindful of how aggressively one is self-stimulating can help prevent this from occurring. www.man1health.com
