because it is not recommended to put toothpaste on the penis

When it comes to sexuality, not all advice is good to follow. Especially when they are collected from the internet and provided by people who are in no way specialists.

After cleaning her vagina with baking soda or experimental penis enlargement methods, tutorials designed to work best in bed are now all the rage. In recent months, videos aimed at men with erection problems have flourished on YouTube. They advise them to coat their penis with toothpaste to last longer before ejaculation.

“It will prevent premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction without dangerous drugs – and last 30 minutes longer”Jose Barber said on his Youtube channel in a video that has since been deleted, but has been viewed more than 1.1 million times.

Risk of burns or blisters

However, in addition to being ineffective, this method can also be dangerous for alerted doctors, as it can cause irritation, even burns due to friction during intercourse. “The peppermint oils and other chemicals in toothpaste, including bleach, can be extremely irritating to sensitive skin. By applying it to your genitals, you actually risk a slight burn, as well as pain. Blisters and scars.”, warns pharmacist James O’Loan on the website of Daily mail.

“Toothpaste is naturally abrasive, which can make sex uncomfortable.”echoes urologist Rich Viney, who points out that even toothpaste can do this “cause infections in the woman’s vagina”.

More suitable and safer treatments

“I urge anyone who is thinking of trying this rather disturbing ‘toothpaste’ technique to give it up.”, advises James O’Loan, before remembering they are there “real remedies that work”.

Several options are available for patients suffering from erection problems. In addition to drugs with Cialis or Viagra, which increase blood flow to the penis and thus help achieve an erection, a lifestyle change, pelvic floor exercises or therapy may also be recommended. In any case, it is recommended that you discuss this with your doctor for the safest and most suitable treatment, rather than testing the “grandmother’s remedies” found on the Internet.
