As Dr. David Devlin reports, one of the most common penis complaints for men of all ages is a sore penis after sex. However, he explains, although soreness of the genitals is a cause for concern, “in most cases, this turns out to be nothing serious.” In fact, soreness, redness and inflammation can often be treated, or even prevented, through the use of all-natural skin care products containing certain penis-specific vitamins and minerals which are known to nourish and moisturize the delicate penile skin.

Reasons for penis soreness after sex
The skin of the penis is fairly delicate, as all men are aware; prolonged or aggressive sex can result in soreness, especially in younger men when skin is acutely susceptible.

Furthermore, lighter-skinned men may present with significant redness, while dark-skinned guys may notice that the skin in the genital area becomes darker still. In some instances, swelling may also occur.

While this can be especially disturbing, the underlying cause is actually nothing to worry about – lymph fluid draining into the dermal tissue following sex is generally the cause, and the swelling should subside on its own after a few days.

Other causes of a sore penis
Aside from vigorous sex, there are several other factors that can lead to penis soreness and redness:
- Masturbation or partner manipulation – Masturbation, or manipulation by a partner (usually referred to as a “hand job”) is often the source of sore, irritated penis skin. The friction caused by dry rubbing can actually cause damage to skin cells over time; while soreness may be the immediate result, untreated skin may eventually become desensitized as the outer dermal layer forms a callous-like surface.
- Dermatitis – Environmental irritants ranging from chemical cleansers to poison ivy to the fragrances found in deodorants, body lotions and personal lubricants can cause soreness and inflammation in men with sensitive skin, making sex difficult and uncomfortable as well as leading to unattractive drying, peeling and roughening of the skin.
- Balanitis – This common condition, which presents as reddened, inflamed and tender skin, especially at the head of the penis, is most common in uncircumcised men. While failing to rinse thoroughly after washing the area can cause redness and swelling, the most prominent cause for this issue is poor hygiene.

How to soothe a sore penis
Proper skin care is the best preventive for a sore penis; when redness and irritation do occur, treating the penis with a nourishing, all-natural vitamin formula can soothe discomfort and burning and help the skin to heal quickly, leaving it smooth, supple, and responsive to the touch. Vitamins that target the skin cells, such as vitamins A, D, and E, are highly effective in softening the skin, calming redness and soreness, and creating a natural moisture barrier that combats the damage caused by dry rubbing and intercourse.

In addition, vitamin A acts as a natural antibacterial agent, fighting off harmful microbes that can penetrate irritated or damaged skin and cause infections and other unpleasant skin disorders; while moisturizers such as shea butter are known to soothe, heal, and rejuvenate the skin, leaving the penis looking young and healthy.

It is also important to bathe regularly, wear loose-fitting, breathable fabrics such as cotton, and use the appropriate protection. When soreness does occur, it may be necessary to take a few days off to allow proper healing before resuming sexual activity.

Where to go for the most effective penile skin care
Treating the skin of the penis on a daily basis using a specialized penis health formula containing penis-specific vitamins and minerals (most health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) which is applied directly to the skin’s surface can ensure that the proper nutrients are absorbed directly into the outer dermal layer of the penis, where they go straight to work repairing damaged skin cells, alleviating soreness and irritation, and leaving the skin sensitive to sexual stimulation.
