For centuries, wine has been associated with amorous feelings and activities, which is perhaps one reason why some form of wine is often involved in romantic dinners. However, there are some people who think wine can be a double-edged sword for men, for they believe that drinking wine may contribute to a sore male organ. Men who place an appropriate emphasis on their male organ care may be concerned with this theory. But is there any truth to it?

The ancients

One of the most beloved figures in ancient Greek mythology is Dionysus, the god of wine. Although Dionysus had many followers, the ones most often associated with him – and with his beverage of choice – are the satyrs, half-men and half-goats, whose sensual drive is legendary. (Dionysus himself was no slouch in the sensual activity department either, for that matter.) So it seems that the wine-sensual activity connection goes back at least a few thousand years.

But if a sore male organ were a typical result of imbibing wine, wouldn’t that fact have become more widely-known after so many years? And wouldn’t it act as some deterrent to men enjoying a bottle with their lady love?

One way of looking at it

Of course, many men might agree there could be a sore male organ and wine connection, but one which doesn’t imply that something in the wine itself causes the soreness. Instead, stating that wine increases the likelihood of actions that result in a sore member is something with which many men might agree.

For example, if one means that when a man drinks wine, he feels more desire and is more likely to engage in rough aggressive sensual activity with a partner, and that this roughness results in soreness, then that is a connection that might ring a bell with many guys. By the same token, there have undoubtedly been many men who have consumed a considerable amount of wine, assuming partner-based sensual activity was on the way, and been disappointed. Still primed, however, they may have self-stimulated with a vengeance (and without appropriate care and lubrication), thus awaking the next morning with both a sore head on their shoulders and another in their midsection.

The wine itself

But what about the wine itself causing soreness? Well, the reasoning behind this theory is that some wines may affect the ability to produce appropriate amounts of a lipid compound known as prostaglandin. Prostaglandins are found in almost every tissue in the body and have many diverse effects. Some scientists believe prostaglandin in the member is especially useful for creating elasticity in the male member. When there is insufficient prostaglandin present, the manhood will still swell when excited, but the lack of sufficient elasticity will create pain and soreness.

All of this at present is theoretical; clinical trials have not been conducted to provide more evidence to back this up.

If a man develops a sore manhood when drinking wine, he might want to try different wines and see if some affect him that way and others don’t. Or he may want to limit his wine intake when anticipating sensual action.

A sore male organ, whether due to wine, overuse or other reasons, will heal more quickly if it is healthy, and regular use of a superior manhood health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) is an excellent method for maintaining that health. It helps to use a crème that contains a range of ingredients, including both vitamin C and a potent combination of moisturizers. Vitamin C is involved in collagen production, and collagen is one of the factors which contribute to greater elasticity of tissue in the member. In addition, well-hydrated skin is supple and better capable of stretching in the desired manner when tumescence is present. A crème with both a high-end emollient (such as Shea butter) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin E) is well poised to provide appropriate hydration to the member.
