Out of Lube and Feeling the Friction? A Tom of P-Town Health Kitchen-Cabinet Survival Guide

You’re mid-make-out, hands are everywhere, and—horror movie music cue—the lube bottle’s bone-dry. Before you raid the pantry (or smear on whatever’s on the bathroom shelf), let’s talk about what’s actually safe to slide between those thighs and what belongs nowhere near your naughty bits. 1. Lubricant 101 in 60 Seconds Consideration Why It Matters Barrier method Oil-based anything can shred latex and polyisoprene condoms —hello, condom breakage and STI risk. AIDS Foundation of Chicago Spotlight Sex toys Silicone lubes can rough up silicone toys, creating micro-grooves that trap bacteria. Extend Fertility Healthline Osmolality & pH “Hyper-osmolar” products (read: very salty or sugary) pull water out of your cells, leaving tiny tears that boost infection risk. PubMed Clean-up The thicker and oilier it is, the more likely you’ll need soap, hot water, and a prayer to get it off sheets, toys, and skin. 2. The YES PLEASE List (Great in a pin...

Jock Itch: Why Your Summer Sweat Turns Into a Flaming Groin — and How to Put Out the Fire

Sweat, Heat, and a Fungus Among Us When temps climb and the boys break out their shortest shorts, dermatophyte fungi (mostly Trichophyton rubrum and friends) throw a beach party in your groin. They love keratin, thrive at warm‑humid  ≥ 32 °C (90 °F) conditions, and spread by towel‑sharing, tight underwear, or hopping down from an athlete’s foot you never treated. Hot, sticky weather literally fuels an uptick in clinic visits for tinea cruris every summer. PMC e-jmi.org Spotting the Culprit Classic look: a scaly, red‑brown, half‑moon rash on inner thighs or perineum with an advancing edge and central clearing. It usually spares the scrotum (if the sac is fire‑engine red, think Candida or contact dermatitis). It itches like crazy, especially after a workout. A quick KOH prep or dermoscopy confirms tangled fungal filaments. PubMed First‑Line Fixes (a.k.a. “Fungus, Be Gone”) Keep it desert‑dry. Replace soaked underwear after the gym, blow‑dry ...

How many times can you cum in a day?

When it comes to male sexual performance and the question of “How many times can a man cum in one day?”, the short answer is that there’s no single, one-size-fits-all limit. Men’s bodies vary significantly based on factors like age, overall health, and individual sexual drive. However, understanding the basics—rooted in medical literature and scientific findings—can help inform a healthy perspective. In this post, we’ll examine: The physiology behind ejaculation The concept of the refractory period Variations in ejaculatory frequency What the research says about ejaculation habits and overall health And as always, this article is for informational purposes only and not a substitute for professional medical advice . If you have specific concerns, consult a qualified healthcare provider. Also let's do a bit of research- if you're reading this please post your records for how many times you've actually cum in a day. Please be honest so we don't get fake data- will be inte...

Meningococcal Meningitis in Gay Men: What You Need to Know and Why You May Need Two Vaccines

At Tom of P-Town Health, we talk a lot about staying on top of your sexual health—PrEP, HPV, Hep A/B, and all the usual suspects. But there’s one vaccine that flies under the radar far too often—and it's a big deal: the meningitis vaccine . Actually, make that vaccines —plural. If you’re part of the gay scene—especially if you’re out at clubs, play parties, circuit events, or Pride festivals—you may be at increased risk for invasive meningococcal disease , a fast-moving and potentially fatal infection that can cause bacterial meningitis . The good news? There are vaccines that can prevent it. The bad news? Most providers aren’t giving you the full story. Let’s fix that. 💉 First Things First: What Is Meningococcal Meningitis? Meningococcal disease is caused by Neisseria meningitidis , a bacterium that lives in the nose and throat and spreads through saliva—think kissing, sharing drinks, close contact, and yes, oral sex . When it invades the body, it c...

Anal Douching: Because Your Butt Deserves the VIP Treatment

Let’s be real—if you’re going to clean out, you might as well do it in a way that’s gentle, predictable, and won’t have you stuck in the bathroom wondering if tonight’s plans are ruined. Here at Tom of P-Town Health, our gold standard for a safe, reliable, and affordable clean-out is simple: Mix it right with a NeilMed® Sinus Rinse bottle, NeilMed® saline packets, RO (reverse osmosis) or sterile water warmed to body temp, and deliver it with a reusable bulb syringe. Fleet® enemas and tap water? Sure, they work —but you’ll be amazed how much faster this method runs clear, how much less you bloat, and how drama-free your night becomes. Why We Love This Method NeilMed packets give you an isotonic solution—fancy talk for “your butt won’t sting or cramp.” RO or sterile water means no bacteria, chlorine, or random minerals—just clean, pure liquid. Body-temp rinse feels natural and reduces “cold shock.” Bulb syringe delivery is gentle, precise, and eas...

Flakes- when they move off Grindr and onto your black T-shirt

Nothing kills the vibe faster than a flurry of white chips drifting onto your black T-shirt —or worse, a snowy dusting in that glorious beard you spent all winter cultivating. Dandruff (a mild form of seborrheic dermatitis) is ridiculously common in men, and the good news is that—in most cases—it’s beatable with the right game plan. 1. Why Men Get Dandruff Yeast Feast: The culprit is usually Malassezia yeast partying on your oily scalp (and face). When it munches on sebum it leaves behind inflammatory by-products that trigger flaking, itching, and redness. PMC Hormones & Oil: Testosterone cranks up sebum production, giving the yeast a buffet. Cold, Stress, Sweat: Winter air, job drama, sweaty workouts, and even that ball cap you never wash can all flare the fire. Face Fur Fallout: Those same sebaceous glands live in beard and mustache territory, so “beardruff” is basically scalp dandruff’s scruffy cousin. National Eczema Association 2....
