A mistake made during intimacy could leave a partner unsatisfied, unhappy or even unhealthy; that's why thousands of how-to manuals have been written regarding the act, and why hundreds of thousands of men have their noses buried in these books on a daily basis. But there have been few such guides written about fapping, and as a result, the average guy makes a staggering number of mistakes that could damage the male tissue and lead to long-term issues with male organ health. Here are 5 of the most common mistakes made by fappers everywhere.

1. Skipping the Lube
A tube of lube is neither an attractive accessory nor easily portable. As a result, few guys keep this vital product on hand throughout the day, and when they feel the need to do a little intimate touching, they may do so with bare skin in contact with bare skin. This kind of behavior can result in:

• Tears and abrasions of the skin
• Friction burns
• Calluses
• Redness
• Pain

A water-based lube is best for fapping, as these products are both slick and sticky, so they don't break down during furious hand movements. But in a pinch, lotion can do the trick. Anything is better than skin-to-skin contact, as long as it does not contain chemical additives or alcohol that can cause burns or irritation to the delicate skin.

2. Twisting and Turning
The male organ is made to respond to simple up-and-down movements, but many guys find that adding a flick of the wrist or a jut of the elbow amps up the fun factor and makes bliss arrive much quicker. Unfortunately, these movements are also associated with skin tears, scar tissue and out-and-out ruptures in the cells of the male organ. It's not a clever technique for guys who want to keep the male organ healthy and responsive to more subtle touches.

3. Using the Same Hand
Using the same hand every time may be more efficient, as most guys develop a sense of what works quickly and tend to stick with a tried-and-true technique. On the other hand, doing it the same way every time can lead to two inconvenient problems. First, the nerves of the male organ become so attuned to a single technique that they no longer respond to other forms of stimulation, especially when a partner comes into the mix. Second, the nerve pathways become bored, in essence, and over time the male organ may no longer respond at all. Switching hands from time to time, or finding new methods of stimulation, may help to eliminate this problem, sometimes referred to as “death grip syndrome.”

4. Thrusting Downward
Men who want to skip hand-based action may find bliss by lying down on a pile of soft blankets or a tower of pillows while they thrust downward with their hips. This simulation of partner contact can be remarkably pleasurable, but sometimes, the receptacles for the thrusts shift and flatten, and the next movement downward could place a stiff manhood in direct contact with an immovable object, like the floor or the mattress. Sudden moves like this can result in male organ breaks, but ongoing fapping like this can also lead to the buildup of plaque, or scarring, on the male tissue. Fabrics just aren't as giving as the delicate male skin, so thrusting the male organ into them means scraping off skin cells with each stroke.

5. Skipping the Reward
Almost any kind of fapping activity is going to involve thrusting, pulling and squeezing. That's really the only way to bring about the pleasure that so many people desire. Being careful in the moment can help, but lavishing a little TLC on the male organ when the fun is through could also help to ensure that serious damage doesn't take hold. A warm-water rinse could help to wash away any lotions and lubes a man used during his time of bliss, and when the skin is clean and dry, an application of a male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) is an excellent final step. These products can soften skin abraded by wanking, and the vitamins included in these products can keep nerve tissues firing on all cylinders. A male organ that's put away nourished might be more ready to rise later, and a male organ health crème can help make that happen.
