The harm of applying toothpaste on the glans penis

Applying toothpaste on the glans penis is a popular folk remedy. Many people believe that this method can improve endurance and enable men to delay ejaculation. In fact, this folk remedy is unreliable and undesirable, because applying toothpaste on the glans penis will not only affect the male reproductive organs, but also affect the female private hygiene. Here are some of the hazards of applying toothpaste on the glans penis!

Many people recommend using toothpaste to clean the glans penis, saying that it can paralyze and stimulate the nerves, prolong the penis erection time, and also have a disinfecting effect. Some also say that this method has no side effects and is suitable for all men.

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, essence, mint and amine leaves. Theoretically, mint does dilate blood vessels, cool the skin, and reduce the sensitivity of peripheral nerves. In medicine, mint is generally used to induce sweating, open the mouth, 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.

Experts say men should not listen to this folk remedy. After all, the quality of sex life is not just measured by the length of sexual intercourse.
