When a guy is really into good male organ care, he wants to know when a situation is normal and healthy and when it’s become a “thing” instead. A social disease? That’s definitely a thing. A member that won’t perform? Yeah, guys don’t want that thing. But what about a red male organ? Is that a thing or not? The answer is, “It depends.”

When it’s not

For most fair-skinned males, it’s normal to get a red male organ on occasion – such as when said member is tumescent. After all, the tumescence process is dependent on the entrapment of blood in the manhood. When the spongy tissues in the member fill up with blood, the organ becomes bloated and engorged and achieves its tumescent state. The presence of all that blood underneath thin male organ skin gives a red hue to the member. (In men with darker skin tones, the appearance may not be red, but there is generally a differentiation in hue of some sort.)

There are other times when the manhood is not tumescent when a red male organ is also not a thing. For example, if a guy has a great workout at the gym and then indulges in a nice, relaxing steam bath, it’s likely that the heat from the sauna will redden his member temporarily.

When it is a thing

But there are occasions when a red male organ does become a thing, and when it therefore may need some attention from a guy. The following are several examples of redness that signals some health-related issue:

1. Rough handling. Having raucous, unlubricated sensual activity with a comely maiden (or one’s own right hand) can result in some sensational sensual activity – and a raw, sore member that is a bright red. When redness results from too much friction, a guy needs to take steps to let the manhood recover. Laying off of the sensual activity (whether with a partner or oneself) for a little while helps, as does moisturizing the tormented manhood skin.

2. Male organ rash. Sometimes a skin condition results in splotchy red patches appearing on or around the member. The skin may simply be red, or it may have a “texture” issue as well, being flaky or peeling. Determining the cause of the rash is important. For example, it is often the case that the rash is the sensitive male organ skin’s reaction to a chemical or fragrance in soap or detergent, and switching to something milder can help address the rashiness. If it is due to an allergy, a doctor may need to be consulted to determine the cause.

3. Social disease. Men who engage in unprotected sensual activity are much more likely to acquire a social disease, and often one of the warning signs that a social disease is present is a red, rashy look to the manhood. Often the redness will be localized in one spot, such as the tip. There may be other symptoms, such as pain or soreness; but even if there are not, if a man suspects the red male organ is due to a social disease, he should definitely see a physician.

4. Jock itch. And, of course, the infamous jock itch is characterized by red round patches on the member and surrounding areas. This is caused by a fungus, so some form of anti-fungal treatment is recommended.

Whether the red male organ is the result of a thing or not, guys should work to keep their members in good health. Regular use of a superior male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) is one way to make this happen. When redness demands moisture, a crème that includes both a high-end emollient (such as Shea butter) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin E) is best. It also helps if the crème contains alpha lipoic acid. A potent antioxidant, alpha lipoic acid combats free radicals which, left unchecked, can promote oxidative stress and make male organ skin appear wrinkled and aged beyond its years.
