Prevent Genital Warts
The best way to prevent genital warts is to begin at proper intimate and male
organ health. Start with safe intimacy. That means many things. Be sure to
use latex barriers for all kinds of intimacy and dental dams when performing
oral on a woman. Also, when genital areas are near each other, be sure to use
a barrier of some sort. The most important part of safe intimacy is having an
open and no judgement conversation about intimate history and PTI status.
Finally, if something appears abnormal and may be a sign of a PTI that was
undisclosed, stop immediately and address the subject. The surest way to
ensure safety (besides abstinence) is to request testing prior to intimate
activity.
If a man had genital warts and has since remedied the situation, a good way
to reinvigorate the skin and calm an irritation is to apply a specially
formulated male organ health creme (health professionals recommend
Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin)
to the male organ regularly. Using a crème with natural emollients like Shea
butter and vitamin E will lock-in moisture and keep the skin supple without
irritation. The best crèmes also are chock-full of vitamins and amino acids
which promote elasticity and cellular renewal. A crème like this will make a
male organ feel brand new again.
