Jock itch is a fungal infection that affects the skin of the upper thighs, buttocks, and groin area. Most commonly caused by the tinea cruris fungus (the same fungus responsible for ringworm and athlete’s foot), jock itch causes an itchy, red, uncomfortable rash that can quickly spread.

Both genetic and hormonal factors contribute to male genital development. If the fetus is genetically predisposed or if hormonal production from the testes is compromised during gestation (or during puberty) genital development disorders can occur.

Men are often astounded to discover that they have reproduction problems which may be affecting their ability to father a child. Reproductive problems in men such as the poor quality or quantity of sperm being produced, hormone disorders, reproductive anatomy trauma, obstruction and sexual dysfunction can all prevent conception from taking place.

Right below the bladder in men is a small, walnut-shaped organ called the prostate gland. It is wrapped around the urethra, and other than closing the urethra during an erection, the prostate has nothing to do with a man’s urinary system. The prostate is needed for ejaculation, and its basic job is to add special fluid to the sperm before it exits the penis during ejaculation. This is why prostate problems interfere with a man’s ability to urinate and have sex.

Impotence or erectile dysfunction is the consistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection. While it is quite normal to struggle to sustain an erection from time to time, it can become a problem when this becomes a regular occurrence. Impotence is very common, and approximately 10 to 15 million American men are trying to cope with this type of sexual dysfunction.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (also called BPH) is a condition that affects the
prostate gland in men. The prostate is a gland found between the bladder and the
urethra, and as a man ages, the prostate gland slowly grows bigger and
enlarges. The term "benign" means that the enlargement isn't caused by cancer or infection.

This ebook discusses various health and sexual issues that men may experience and addresses methods of helping them.

What I would like to do in this ebook, is to talk a little bit about what is ‘normal’ in terms
of sexual frequency and also demonstrate that there are times in relationships when
sex naturally takes a back seat, just as there are times when it is more important than
anything! This is to help you tell the difference between a ‘normal’ decrease in sexual
feelings and one which is symptomatic of a problem which needs to be addressed.
