What man in his right mind wouldn’t want to positively affect his penis health – especially when an improvement can be achieved simply by going naked? Assuming that a guy is in a position to bare it all when he sleeps, he may be in a position to keep his penis in even better health than it already is.

An article in the U.K. paper The Sun recently extolled the praises of sleeping naked and the penis health benefits this offers. The basic information in that article has been around in various forms for some time, so this is not hot-off-the-presses news. But it does serve as a reminder that more men should consider going naked when going to sleep.

The benefits

There are any number of benefits to “going commando” when snuggling into bed. These include:

1. It helps with odor issues. Is it news to anyone at all that the penis and its partner, the balls, can sometimes develop a certain pungency that is a trifle off-putting? (Indeed, some sources state that rank penis odor is the most common reason a woman cites for refusing to fellate her mate.)

For some men, heavy-duty penis odor is a chronic issue. This usually occurs when there is heavy sweating going on in the penile region, which in turn creates deposits of bacteria that produce a fetid mess. One of the most effective ways of treating this issue is to “air the guys out.” Sleeping naked helps circulate the air and give unwanted aromas a chance to dissipate.

2. It discourages infection. Sweat and bacteria don’t just affect the manly scent. If the penis skin is chafed, dry or raw – and that happens a lot to some guys – then it is going to be more susceptible to infection if there are more bacteria present.

3. It keeps sperm healthier. Sperm production is negatively impacted when the heat is too high in the factory – so when the balls are too hot, sperm production goes down. Wearing underwear while sleeping adds to the heat content – especially if the underwear is tight and form-fitting. Sleeping with the region bare helps keep the sperm producers cooler.

4. It dampens cortisol production. Cortisol is a chemical which naturally occurs in the body. At appropriate levels, it is fine, but too much cortisol causes stress and anxiety – and also has a negative effect on penis health. Studies have shown that excess cortisol production can interfere with normal erectile function; some studies indicate that it can perhaps also contribute to penile shrinkage, something most men will do anything to avoid. When the body is overheated, cortisol production goes up – so sleeping naked (and thereby cooler) can help keep cortisol at a comfortable (and non-threatening) level.

5. It promotes healthier penis skin. As mentioned previously, airing out helps diminish sweat on and around the penis – and that helps keep the penis skin moisturized. That may seem contradictory, as one assumes that the sweat should hydrate the skin. In fact, sweat removes essential oils which are necessary for proper skin moisturization.

Sleeping naked is an excellent first step in maintaining penis health, but by itself it is not enough. A man really needs to regularly apply a first class penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin) in order to help provide a boost to penis care. Dry penis skin, especially, will benefit from a crème with a combination of natural hydrators (think Shea butter and vitamin E), which creates a “moisture lock” to ensure richer, suppler skin. A crème with vitamin is also recommended; vitamin A possesses acclaimed anti-bacterial properties which are badly needed by the man with a serious case of penis odor.
