Are there any side effects of applying toothpaste to the glans penis?

Nowadays, many young couples try various methods to prolong the duration of their sex life. However, prolonging the duration of sex life is not something that can be done casually. It depends on the individual's physical condition. Many people choose to apply toothpaste on the glans before having sex, which can reduce sensitivity and thus achieve the effect of prolonging sex life. However, applying toothpaste on the glans may cause infertility, and it is not good for sperm and will produce side effects, so special attention should be paid.

"Apply toothpaste to the glans before sex to reduce sensitivity and prolong sex time." Men should not believe in this folk remedy. After all, the quality of sex life is not only measured by the length of sexual intercourse.

Washing the glans with toothpaste can cause infertility.

Experts believe that no research has ever proven that cleaning the glans with toothpaste can improve erectile function; and everything has its own specific uses, and going beyond this area is likely to cause many problems.

Experts explain that the main ingredients of toothpaste are soap, talcum powder, flavor, mint and amine leaves.

Theoretically, mint does have the effect of dilating blood vessels, cooling the skin, and reducing peripheral nerve sensitivity. In medicine, mint is generally used to induce sweating, open the body, and relieve symptoms, or as an adjuvant to promote the absorption of other drugs. However, it is irritating. If applied too much or repeatedly, it is likely to cause congestion and numbness of the glans penis, and some people may also have allergic reactions.

If not cleaned thoroughly, it will remain in the female vagina with the insertion of the penis, irritating the vaginal mucosa and causing discomfort. Particles such as talcum powder may also cause slight abrasions on the glans penis and vaginal mucosa. Other ingredients such as fragrances added to toothpaste may also irritate the glans penis and vaginal mucosa, causing allergies. In addition, there are many types of toothpastes now, and the added ingredients are not uniform, and the acidity and alkalinity are also different. Some chemical ingredients (such as fluoride, etc.) may potentially affect fertility for people who want to have children.
