Healthy lifestyles for men?

[jazzyjic78]

Why are some men afraid to go to the doctor and get regular check ups? Going to the dentist isn't a physical making sure your health is intact. My father died of "Prostate cancer" he hated going to the doctor or hospital for anything, he was 79 and had the cancer for about 20 years but I wish he'd taken better care of himself while alive.

As a man being sexually active you have to be protective for your own good, you can't put your mouth on everyone nor your penis without a raincoat! Everything that looks good to you isn't good for you... And the same goes for women we have to be careful as well.

I ask and stress this issue because it's serious and it's better to just have one lifetime partner, and when you feel the thrill is gone just try something new instead of going outside of your marriage or relationship. Invite your partner to do all the freaky things that turns you on & out and stay safe 💯💪🏾😇🙏🏾❤️

The short answer is toxic masculinity and its influences.


The long answer is that toxic masculinity abhors vulnerability, even when it’s considered reasonable. Going to the doctor, admitting you can’t just “ride it out” is a sign of weakness that, subconsciously or otherwise, a lot of men are unwilling to do. There’s also the idea that prostate exams are gay, which I’m sure a lot of men avoid just for the discomfort of it. A lot of men die sooner than women because a majority aren’t willing to seek help for minor health problems that can become much larger down the road.

Your point is just that men don't go to the doctors for healthcare?

I go see the medics. Earlier I paid out of my own pocket to do that and got multiple surgeries too before I escaped to Germany. Here I got even more surgeries but I paid nothing out of my post-tax money.

I'll admit I haven't gone every year, but I do get regular physicals. I'm a few years away from prostate exams, but I have had my skin checked and I had a testicular exam at my last checkup. I've also seen a urologist about painful erections in the past.

You can go on Amazon and order some "Soursop Bitters" and take it with orange juice and do a colon cleanse at home it helps for when you go to your appointments to have a clean slate/ board of health 💪🏾💯🙏🏾😇

I agree that it tends to be more of a guy thing, to not keep up with regular checkups, etc. I'm pretty health conscious so I keep up with all of that stuff though.

Thanks, this is an important message.

But, keep in mind most men have no problem inviting their partner to do all the freaky things that turns them on. In the vast majority of cases it is women who are unwilling to accept the invitation.

A woman has to see that the man is taking proper care of himself before engaging in certain intimate things. Like it's a turn on to see that he shaves, he likes to wash it before asking her to do anything.

Nobody wants to go down and smell cock and balls 🤣. And when the man takes control & tastes it first real good sometimes he doesn't have to ask her to do nothing, she will willingly go for it.

You just have to communicate to find out what makes your partner happy, what turns them on because you could be performing on them what made ur ex happy and get no results because ur playing the guessing game versus just asking " baby what makes you feel good"?

Everyone has choices and preferences in life and relationships, choose your person that satisfies you to your liking.👍🏾💪🏾💯😇🙏🏾

Nice deflection there, lol.

Why? Fear.

[jazzyjic78]

That's understandable but I hope and pray that men will learn to love themselves more and do better. Fear =false evidence appears real. You shall fear nothing and no one but God in Heaven for those that believe.

I know it can seem scary to go get tested but men gotta have faith and all men have to be careful of the situation's they encounter or put themselves into.

You know I dated a guy b4 that was ill with diabetes and I would take him to the doctor, cook his food and etc. I had to go pick up his meds and thank God his doctor knew me and liked me.

She said, he must couldn't tell you himself so he had you to come in. He had cheated with another woman and I picked up his antibiotics that day. I didn't trip, I just kept cooking and cleaning and made sure he took all his med's.

Mine you I helped him get a crib, a job, and a new whip but it was nothing. That's another story...

Couldn't have any relations until his follow up, but after that it's hard to trust him, but he was strong enough to go get checked out which is why I didn't act up. I admired his courage and honesty, and that he loved himself enough to care for his health.

Eventually I had to move on and decline the proposal because he wouldn't do right but that's a different story for a different day. The fact of the matter is let go of your fear's, love yourself, and take pride in your health guy's.💪🏾😇🙏🏾💯❤️

Religion has nothing to do with this -- it's a fear of getting an unpleasant diagnosis.
