We’ve already talked about all the positive things performing penis exercises can do for you. Now, before you embark into the world of penis exercises, let’s talk about the not-so-positive things. If you’ve ever done an intense workout at the gym, you’ve probably experienced both positive and negative side effects. You might have felt more energetic—a positive side effect. At the same time, your body might have been sore from such an intense workout—a negative side effect. Both side effects usually don’t last long, and don’t necessarily happen every time you work out.
The same goes for penis exercises side effects: they are often temporary and you may or may not experience them. Some men never encounter even one side effect. You should also note that most of the negative side effects can be minimized—and even avoided—if you use good judgment and follow the advice in this book. You’ll learn how to overcome side effects later on if they occur. In the mean time, you should know what to look out for.
A darker penis:
This side effect can range from your penis being slightly darker in certain spots to your entire penis becoming a darker bronze-like color (many men describe the latter look to be “manlier”). Darkening is the most common side effect and is often associated with intense exercises and over-training It generally takes several months to occur, but this isn’t always the case. Just as some people are more prone to bruising, some men are more prone to darkening. Although the darkening effect is often temporary, several penis exercisers have experienced a long-term darkening of the penis.
Stronger and more apparent veins:
For some men, penis exercises cause veins to be more prominent and visible along the penis.
Spots forming along the penis:
Temporary spotting is more common on the glans—the head of the penis—but can happen anywhere along the shaft. The spots are typically red and the size of a pin prick, but they can become larger and darker. Spotting is fairly normal, especially in the beginning. It usually lasts no more than a few days and is generally a sign of using too much intensity.
The doughnut effect:
A temporary swelling of skin near the head of the penis can occur after an intense penile workout. The effect looks like a puffy doughnut formed near the head of your penis and usually lasts no longer than a few hours.
Temporary decrease in size or hardness:
This is a clear indication of over-training When performing penis exercises, think of your penis as you do your muscles: it gets sore and weak when pushed beyond its limits. Again, to avoid this, you’ll want to start out light and work your way up.
