Sexually Transmitted Infections among Old Adults
Many myths and misconceptions surround sex and old age. Most people uphold the make-believe story that people of age do not engage in active sex—which is not the case. The truth is, most US citizens enjoy sex beyond the age limits commoners would consider "too old."
But to some old fellows, sex at old age can mean serious health issues. That's simply because sexually transmitted infections are widespread across all age-groups in the US. Two years ago (2018), the CDC reported a record-setting 2.2 million STD incidents (the highest figure ever) linked to three major STIs infections alone— syphilis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea.

What Is Penile Frenulum Injury and What are The Possible Causes?
Penile frenulum injury is simply the tearing of the penis frenulum; a tissue that connects from under the penis head down to the shaft.
The penis frenulum is so delicate that typical day to day activities can lead to its tearing. These activities include;
- Wearing tight pants or innerwear
- Cycling
- Vigorous sex or masturbation
- Physical hard labor
- Sports
Unless there is an infection, penile frenulum injury isn't a long term condition. It can be treated even at home.
Note that even if the tear could seem to be a minor injury, it can cause discomfort and pain. Thepenis is composed of nerves and receptors which are very sensitive to pain. Therefore, it's reasonable to experience sharp, pain at the tip of the penis.
