1. Time is Limited
Question: “I don’t have a lot of time. Can I still build a bigger, harder and healthier penis?”
Answer: Absolutely. If your time is limited, the first place to start is the Least Work/Max Gain Routine. With this light routine, you’ll only perform penis exercises six days a month, and only twelve minutes each day. After you’ve been using the Least Work/Max Gain Routine for a while, you can move up to the advanced version.
Another great way you can maximize your time is to follow the old African proverb that asks the question, “How do you eat an elephant?” The answer: “One bite at a time.” The take home message: Things are much easier to accomplish when they are broken into pieces. You can save time by breaking your routine into portions throughout the day. Do your jelqs, for example, in the morning and your other exercises at night. Or even break your routine into three, four, and even five mini sessions—whatever works for you. In the worst case scenario, you can do one to three minutes of penis exercises each time you go to the bathroom and then do another five to ten minutes when you take a shower. This way, you’re not blocking out huge chunks of your day, yet you are still putting in the effort—no matter how busy you are.
Numerous penis exercisers report that they got their best results when they split their routine into smaller workouts. That’s because after thirty to forty minutes of performing penis exercises, the whole thing can seem more like a tedious job and less like a fun, productive hobby. Towards the end of a long workout, several men find that they start doing their exercises with half the effort; and half the effort leads to half the results. When the workouts are kept short, it often makes them more fun, lively, and effective.
Another thing you can do is circuit your exercises. Go straight from one exercise to the next, without ever taking a break. Not giving your penis any rest between exercises provides an intense workout in less time. Circuits are particularly useful when you get into the later Intensity Levels and have plenty of exercises to choose from. A few example circuit exercises are located in Appendix C. Try them out after you feel comfortable doing Intensity Level 5 exercises.
If time becomes a big problem, by all means take a break. You can always come back when you have more time and more motivation. In fact, many men find that the best way to perform penis exercise is to do it in spurts—do it for several weeks, make some gains, take a break, and repeat.
Lastly, as you advance, you may want to consider using a penis enlargement device. Several devices don’t take any work at all. You plop on the device and you’re good to go quicker than a Crunchwrap Supreme from Taco Bell. For more information, see the “Penis Enlargement Devices” section in this Appendix.
2. Fixing a Penis Curve
Question: “Is a penis curve normal? What causes a curve? Can performing penis exercises fix a curve?”
Answer: A curved penis is nothing to lose sleep over. In fact, a penis curve is fairly normal. “A third of men (33.8 %) have a crooked or curved penis,” says Bernice Kanner, author of Are You Normal About Sex, Love, and Relationships?
Moreover, a penis curve often allows the man to stimulate areas that wouldn’t otherwise be stimulated. For example, an upward curve provides perfect stimulation to the female G-spot. So it’s no surprise that many women love a curved penis. When I was interviewing woman about the most important aspects of a penis, one woman told me, “Nothing gets me off harder than a penis with a curve that hits my spot!” If you have a curve, try using it to your advantage. Get into positions that best suit your curve, and it will most likely best suit your partner too.
“What Causes A Curve?”
A penis curve can be caused by several factors. One cause involves the fact that the main body of the penis is made of three circular chambers, and sometimes one of the three chambers is shorter than the other two—which can be caused by genetics or consistently masturbating with too much pressure on one side of the penis. When one chamber is smaller than the other two, it causes a curve to the shorter side.1
It May be Peyronie’s Disease
A slight bend in the penis is normal and shouldn’t cause too much alarm. But a severe bend that causes physical pain might be Peyronie’s disease—plaque formation inside the penis. Peyronie’s disease typically has three symptoms:2
Ø Pain during erection.
Ø A hard lump or tough area where the penis curves.
Ø A curve that forms during adulthood. “More than 75% of Peyronie’s disease patients are between 45 and 65 years old,” say the authors of Atlas of Clinical Andrology. If you’ve had a curve all of your life or the majority of your life, it most likely isn’t Peyronie’s disease.
Fortunately, Peyronie’s disease often heals on its own after twelve to eighteen months, with the curve drastically dissipating. If you experience any pain, or if the curve continues to get worse, see an urologist.
“Can Penis Exercising Fix a Curve?”
Several men have straightened their curve by using certain penis exercises. Some men have even reported that performing penis exercises fixed severe curves, like Peyronie’s disease.
The main four exercises for fixing a curve are the straight stretch, the side jelq, the mini jelq, and the straight bend. Depending on the severity of your curve, these four exercises might straighten your penis in as little as one to two months. These curve-fixing exercises are similar to the other exercises throughout this book except they focus on doing the exercise against the curve. If you have a curve that you would like to straighten, use these exercises in place of your normal routine when possible. For example, do the straight stretch in replace of the basic stretch.
Depending on how long you’ve been performing penis exercises, some of these exercises may be too advanced for you. For instance, you’ll want to avoid doing straight bends if you’re a beginner. To help you determine when you’re ready, use the Exercise Guide in Appendix C, which gives a recommendation on when to use each exercise.
Straight Stretch
The fundamentals of the straight stretch are the same as the basic stretch. But instead of stretching in several different directions, you’re only stretching in one direction: opposite of the curve.
If, for instance, your penis curves to the left, then make it your main focus to hold your stretches to the right. Stretching opposite of the curve puts more pressure on the smaller side (in this case the left side), which entices it to grow more. In turn, the smaller side will eventually “catch up” to the bigger side, and the curve will be straightened.
Side Jelq
The side jelq is an Intensity Level 3 exercise that jelqs the penis to the left, to the right, back to the left, and so on (see Appendix C for detailed description of how to side jelq).
When your goal is to fix a curve, you’ll only side jelq in one direction: against the curve. Again, by placing more pressure on smaller side, you’re enticing it to grow more. So if your penis curves to the left, use your left hand to side jelq to the right.
If your penis curves upward, you can use the vertical jelq (described in Appendix C), which focuses bending the penis downwards after each jelq. If it curves downward, do the vertical jelq in reverse (instead of bending downwards, bend upwards.)
Mini Jelq
This exercise will only work if your penis curves either left or right (not up or down). A good understanding of your penis’ anatomy will make all the difference in comprehending this exercise, so if you’re confused see Appendix B.
The penis consists of three circular chambers. Two top chambers that you see when you look straight down at your penis, and a bottom chamber that holds your urethra. The goal of the mini jelq is to jelq whichever top chamber is the smaller one, and is thus the side the penis curves to. You do this by using a mini pincher grip to focus exclusively on that chamber. If the penis curves to the left, then the left side (the top left corpus chamber) is the smaller side, and thus will be the side you mini jelq. To do the mini jelq, bring your penis to a 50 to 75 percent erection level and:
1. Grab your penis below the head and hold it out as if you were going to stretch. This will help stabilize your penis for the mini jelq.
2. Take your other hand and form a small pincher grip at the base of the smaller corpus chamber.
3. Using the small pincher grip, jelq the single chamber in a similar motion as you would a normal jelq. Your goal is to move the blood throughout that smaller corpus chamber. Each mini jelq stroke should take two to three seconds.
Straight Bends
Slinky bends and flaccid bends help fix a curve too (both described in Appendix C). Similar to the side jelq, perform the bends against the curve.
3. Becoming Multi-Orgasmic
Question: “Are there any penis exercises that can help me have multiple orgasms?”
Answer: Yes. You already know one of them: the kegel. When performed at the right time, the kegel can take you beyond overcoming premature ejaculation, beyond being able to last as long as you want, and into a new realm of sexual stamina: male multiple orgasms.3
Strong pelvic floor muscles—combined with lots of practice and the right timing—have turned quick shooters into no shooters. Dr. Barbara Keesling says in her easy-to-read book, How to Make Love All Night, “There are several steps to becoming multi-orgasmic, but building up the [pelvic floor muscles] is the crucial first step.” Dr. Keesling adds, “Every man who is willing to do the work can bring his [pelvic floor muscles] to a state of readiness within two to three weeks. Often it takes even less than that.”
How does the kegel help you have multiple orgasms? The trick, and the second step, is knowing and understanding your arousal. You have to become increasingly aware of your point of no return—the point where ejaculation is inevitable.
As you approach the point of no return, strong pelvic floor muscles are worth more than any thought about baseball stats, your grandmother naked, or any other image you pop into your head to delay an early discharge of the family seed. Here’s why: It’s common belief that ejaculation and orgasm are the same thing, but they are actually two different processes. They just typically come hand-in-hand. You can separate the two by doing a strong kegel—lasting roughly ten seconds or more—immediately before the point of no return. If done right, this will allow you to have an orgasm, but without ejaculating! As a result, your penis will still be aroused and erect.
The first few times you attempt using the kegel to stop ejaculation, you should do it by yourself, when you don’t have the pressure of pleasing someone else. After you are able to have multiple orgasms on your own, try kegeling right before the point of no return when you are with a partner. Another thing you’ll want to do, at least in the beginning, is stop all stimulation when you do the strong kegel. Meaning, if you are by yourself, stop stroking your penis. Then kegel. If you are with a partner, stop thrusting. Then kegel.
Also, for the first couple of times, it will probably be hard to hold back your ejaculation if you wait until right before the point of no return. So instead, build up to the point of no return. When you get to the point that you feel your arousal is fairly high—and that you’ll ejaculate within a minute or two—stop and do a strong kegel. Let your arousal subside a bit and then restart. This time let your arousal build even higher, and then stop and kegel again.
Build up and stop five or six times, continually getting closer to the point of no return each time. Then, once you are at the point right before you orgasm, completely stop all stimulation, take a big deep breath, and kegel as hard as you possibly can. If everything goes according to plan, your body will go into orgasm without ejaculating, and you’ll be able to go for Round 2.
Becoming multi-orgasmic often takes lots of practice. As one penis exerciser noted, “I started practicing to become multi-orgasmic about three months ago, and 100 ejaculations later I finally got it! . . . During the learning process, I experienced several sensations. On a few occasions, I even had an ejaculation, but no orgasm. It was weird, but it’s really all part of learning how to separate the two.”
A few pitfalls can hinder you from becoming multi-orgasmic. The main one is not having strong pelvic floor muscles. If this happens to you, spend a few weeks focusing extra-hard on your kegels (but don’t over-train, or it will make it even more difficult). Another pitfall is not being completely in tune with your arousal or kegeling at the wrong time. If this occurs, make sure your body is completely relaxed. Take deep breaths and pay attention to all the sensations that you feel while building up to the point of no return.
4. Erection Difficulties
Question: “I’m still not harder. What’s the problem?”
Answer: Numerous factors could be hindering your hardness. First, ask yourself the following questions. Are you focusing on the chief hardness exercises: the kegel, the jelq, and the stretch? Most importantly, are you really kegeling as much as you should? And if so, are you kegeling too much?
If you are sure that you are not over-training or under-training, then the strength of your erections might be spoiled by other causes, such as heart disease, an overall unhealthy lifestyle, and even stress.
Many men don’t know that their emotions have a huge impact on their hardness. As Dr. Steven Lamm says in The Hardness Factor, “Depression, stress, and anxiety are significant inhibitors of libido (sex drive).” As more studies are conducted on hardness, it becomes evident that a happy outlook on life often provides a penis full of life.
“Not only does stress mar sexual performance, but the medications commonly used to treat it, such as anti-anxiety drugs, tend to depress the libido and inhibit desire,” says Dr. Ian Kerner, sexologist and author of She Comes First and several other books. For instance, serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)—such as Paxil, Prozac, and other anti-depressant drugs—increase the amount of serotonin in the brain. And extra serotonin has an adverse side effect of decreasing desire and libido, which results in decreasing hardness.
Bad health is also linked to weak erections. As Dr. Lamm points out, there is an “unmistakable link between failing erections and common medical ailments, including obesity, high cholesterol levels, hypertension, sleep disorders, diabetes, and heart disease.”
Either stress or poor health could be the cause of your hardness troubles. Fortunately, you can do two things to fix both. First, if you believe the hardness problem to be largely associated with a serious problem (such as heart disease), seek medical attention immediately.
Second, strive to live an active, healthy, and happy lifestyle. Really focus on regularly exercising, eating well, and obtaining proper amounts of sleep. Also avoid cigarettes and large quantities of alcohol, as they too impede erection strength. Likewise, relax and enjoy the world you live in. These simple changes will make you and your penis healthy well into your retirement years; and combined with performing penis exercises, you should never have a problem maintaining a hard, solid erection.
5. Penis Supplements
Question: “Are there supplements to make the penis harder?”
Answer: Yes, several all-natural herbal supplements and vitamins can help produce a healthier, harder penis. “Using such nutritional powerhouses as Pycnogenol, L-arginine, omega-3 fatty acids, horny goat weed, and a host of antioxidant supplements, men can prevent and reverse most hardness problems,” says Dr. Steven Lamm.
Along with promoting a healthier lifestyle, many of the following supplements will increase your erection strength and your libido.4 As a side note, many of these supplements are also a great complement to performing penis exercises—not just for hardness, but also for enlargement. Contact your doctor before taking any of the following supplements. You can purchase these supplements and find out more information at most vitamin stores.
L-Arginine:
This amino acid enhances erection strength, pleasure, and sexual desire. L-arginine increases blood flow throughout the body and the penis, which is great for enlargement and even greater for hardness. Evidence suggests L-arginine’s effects are dramatically enhanced when taken with Pycnogenol, another supplement that’s effective at boosting hardness.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids:
These fatty acids play a key role in keeping the heart healthy. And the healthier your heart, the harder your erections. Evidence suggests that omega-3 fatty acids can substantially help reduce heart attacks and keep your heart fit and healthy, along with increasing sexual performance. The best food source for omega-3 is fish. Unfortunately, most of us don’t get enough of omega-3 in our diets and need supplements to fulfill the void.
Horny Goat Weed:
This herbal supplement is infamous for increasing sexual desire and hardness. Its name comes from its antidote—it makes you horny.
Yohimbe:
For many men, yohimbe acts like nature’s Viagra. It’s a powerful stimulant, and therefore it shouldn’t be taken daily. Instead, similar to Viagra, you take yohimbe an hour or two before a sexual encounter. (Note: Avoid this supplement if you have high blood pressure or any heart troubles).
Vitamins A, B, C and E:
All of these vitamins play a critical role in maintaining a healthy body, heart, and penis. The benefits of these vitamins are extensive, especially for hardness. They largely promote more blood flow to the penis as well as protect us against free radicals, which are connected to heart disease and weak erections. Most of these vitamins—along with other hardness boosting supplements—can be found in a single multivitamin.
6. Penis Enlargement Pills
Question: “Do penis enlargement pills work?”
Answer: You’ve probably seen the ads, or read the claims: add two to four inches to your penis with a simple pill! First, and foremost, I have found no evidence that validates any man enlarging his penis by taking a pill alone. My experience has been the opposite—I have talked to many men that have taken penis enlargement pills without gaining anything except more room in their wallet.
Nonetheless, the ingredients found in penis enlargement pills might be useful in combination with penis exercises. In fact, some penis exercisers have found them to be a great supplement to performing penis exercises. That said, many of the ingredients in penis enlargement pills can be found at a much cheaper price. If you’re looking for an extra boost in your gains, look into taking supplements such as whey protein, L-arginine, horny goat weed, and a daily multivitamin.
7. Gaining Troubles
Question: “I’ve tried everything and I still can’t gain. What’s the problem?”
Answer: When it comes to penis enlargement growth, there are four kinds of gainers. The first gainer is the guy who gains both length and girth easily. He obtains his goal the quickest. The next two gainers are either length gainers or girth gainers. These men gain easily in a specific area (such as girth) and lack gains in the other area (such as length). These guys typically reach their easy goal first, and then specifically target the other area. The last gainer is the hard gainer. He has to work extra hard to reach his goal.
Before you condemn yourself as a hard gainer, realize that enlarging the penis—like the muscles—takes time. Your biceps won’t double in size (no matter how much you exercise) in just a few months, and your penis won’t either.
That said, some guys hit the gym day after day only to get the same unchanging results. They don’t lose weight, they don’t gain muscle, and the only shape they get in is round. Unfortunately, some men also perform penis exercises day after day with similar unsatisfying results. The reason for these poor results are often caused by many of the principles covered in this book, such as not obtaining enough rest, not increasing the intensity, or increasing the intensity too much.
Poor results, however, might just be caused by simple genetics. Just as some men can’t gain weight or muscle mass if their life depended on it, other men have the toughest time enlarging their penis—largely for reasons out of their control. Nonetheless, regardless of what is inhibiting your gains, in my experience there’s always one thing that produces penis enlargement growth: persistence.
If you tried everything in this book, then my final recommendation is first stop doing whatever you’ve been doing. It’s not working. Take a two to four month break. It might be hard to convince yourself that taking a break helps, but your penis needs to return to its pre-penis exercises state. Once you return, start out light and completely change it up. Try new things. Change the amount of days you exercise, the amount of force you use, and the kind of exercises you do. Exercise for less amount of time and with less force first, then try more time and more force. Do everything and anything.
Go the next step and change your lifestyle, which has worked for some hard gainers. For example, if you’re a smoker, then quit. If you don’t regularly exercise at the gym, then start. Eat healthy too. Even more important, try some of the supplements and vitamins suggested in the previous question. If all else fails, you might consider using a penis enlargement device. You could also go to one of the websites in Appendix D, where you will find more specific advice on what other men did to jump start their gains.
8. Penis Enlargement Devices
Question: “What is a penis enlargement device? What are the common devices? Are they expensive? Are they safe?”
NOTE: Because this book’s focus is on penis exercises and not penis enlargement devices, this section is just an overview of the most common devices. Do not use a device without consulting the manufacturer or another resource. Most importantly, do not use this section as your sole information on devices. There’s enough information to be said about devices to serve another book. If after performing penis exercises for several months you want to try using a device, then go to http://www.PEGym.com/devices. There you will find more information on how to use each device, pictures of the devices in use, and a directory of the current penis enlargement devices.
Answer: A penis enlargement device is an appliance that does the penis exercises for you. Penis enlargement devices often yield effective results, especially when combined with traditional penis exercises. The common devices include penile hangers, penile pumps, all day stretchers, extenders, clamping devices, and jelq simulators. Some devices—such as hangers and all day stretchers—can be used throughout the day with minimal effort.
Devices are also useful if you’re having a hard time gaining, or if you want to kick-start growth. Many men start using a device after they are comfortable performing penis exercises or once they hit a plateau.
“What Are the Common Devices?”
Penis Hanger:
This device is an advanced type of stretching and is most useful for acquiring length. One end of the device attaches to some part of your penis shaft (not the head) and the other end hangs weight. Many penis enlargement surgeons recommend using a hanger after surgery. With hanging, the amount of weight and time used varies greatly. Weight can range from less than a pound to thirty pounds or more. Hanging high weight from the penis is often unnecessary and isn’t advised for beginners. Time can range from less than an hour to several hours or more.
All Day Stretcher:
This is a light hanger-type device that is used for long periods of time. An all day stretcher (ADS) has the benefit of keeping the penis in a stretched state and is typically used in combination with a hanger. Some men, for example, use a typical hanger for a few hours and then use an ADS for the rest of the day. A popular all day stretching method involves hanging extremely light weights, known as Penis Exercise Weights (shown to the right), on the penis. The penis slides through the weights, and a piece of cloth is used to keep the weights in place. Like most effective all day stretchers, Penis Exercise Weights are fairly stealthy and can be worn in public.
Extender:
This is a unique device in that it can generally be used by beginners right away and requires very little work. It is a stretching device that keeps the penis extended throughout the day, and is hidden underneath your clothes so no one can tell that you are wearing it. Extenders are one of the few penis exercises methods that have gone under several clinical trials, and thus are one of the most popular devices. They work by having one side encircle the base of the penis and the other side stretch out the penis. Along with being a useful supplement to standard penis exercises, extenders are also useful for increasing flaccid size. Some doctors declare that extenders can also fix Peyronie’s disease—a severe and often painful curve.6
Jelq Simulator
This device is designed to provide the same effect as the jelq, but with more intensity and consistency. Most jelq simulators, like the Jelq Device shown to the right, use two padded cylinders to jelq the penis. Jelq simulators are practical in that they increase the intensity of the jelq while giving your hands a break. They also don’t require the use of a lubricant, so they make clean up easy and hassle free.
Penis Pump:
This is the most popular penis enlargement device. Penile pumps have been used to make the penis harder and temporarily bigger for decades. Using a penile pump, or pumping, involves placing the penis in a vacuum cylinder tube. Once inside the tube, pressure is added to pump the penis up. For sex, you place your penis in the tube until it is hard enough for penetration. For penis enlargement, you place the penis in the pump for several minutes or more. Although the results from pumping are often temporary, many men have acquired permanent gains when using a penile pump combined with the traditional penis exercises.
Originally, the penis was pumped using a hand pump. Recently, electrical pumps—which do all the work for you—have hit the market. Both electrical and hand pumps are effective. Penile pumps are sold at most adult novelty stores, online stores, and sex catalogs. The best pumps have a pressure gauge. Without a pressure gauge, you can easily go overboard.
Clamping Device:
This device works by clamping off the base of the penis for a short period of time. Clamping devices inhibit blood from leaving the penis, which increases penile blood pressure and causes the penis to expand the only way it can: outward. Clamping is similar to the uli exercise (described in Appendix C), but entails using a tight cock ring or any other kind of constricting device. The picture on the right is of a Cable Clamp, which many men use in conjunction with soft padding. Although clamping is fairly new, it has allowed many men to significantly expand their girth. That said, many men have found that it’s easy to go overboard with clamping, and several of the self-prescribed penile Mondor’s disease cases are often due to clamping.
“Are Devices Expensive?”
Devices vary in price—ranging from just a few dollars to well into the hundreds. The least expensive route is to build a device yourself. Instructions for building penis enlargement devices can be found at several of the websites in Appendix D, many of which also have information on purchasing devices.
The more expensive route is to purchase a device, which requires more money, but less work. The most expensive devices include the majority of hangers, extenders, and pumps. Most hangers cost roughly 100 dollars or more. Penile pumps cost around 100 dollars for a hand pump and typically well over 500 dollars for an electrical pump. Extenders generally cost 150 dollars or more.
Jelq simulators, all day stretchers, and clamps are all on the lower end of the price spectrum. Most jelq simulators cost less than 100 dollars. Some all day stretchers, such as Penis Exercise weights, cost less than fifteen dollars. Most clamping devices are sold at a retail stores for less than five dollars.
“Are Devices Safe?”
Safety is often a concern—and rightfully so—when using a device. Penis enlargement devices can be both scary and dangerous. They are, however, generally safe if you use a secure device, common sense, and the proper guidelines. The real danger lies within not knowing your limits. You can easily go overboard and add more weight than you need with a hanger, or use more pressure than you need with a pump. (Common sense tells you that you shouldn’t start out hanging more than a pound or two from your penis.) The darkening effect is also more likely to occur when using a device—especially clamping.
If safety is a major concern, consider the fact that several doctors instruct the use of a penile hanger or pump after penis enlargement surgery. Nevertheless, if you decide to use a device, it’s even more essential that you follow all the guidelines outlined throughout this book. Also follow these device-safety principles:
Follow a strict time limit:
In the beginning, use clamping devices, pumps, and hangers for a maximum of ten minutes at a time. Overtime, you can move up to a maximum of twenty minutes, but no longer. Your penis needs to obtain proper amounts of blood flow to stay hard and healthy, and most devices limit circulation. After each set, give your penis at least ten minutes to recuperate. All day stretchers and extenders can be worn for longer periods of time without rest, but still take them off for a few moments every so often.
Use wrapping for protection, comfort, and support when able:
Many hangers, all day stretchers, and clamping devices are built so you can wrap your penis with a soft fabric underneath the device. You can use any cloth-like material to wrap, including a sock, a strip of mouse pad, Homedics magnetic wrap, or Ace’s bandage—most of which can be found at any retail store, such as Walmart. Using a wrap will not only protect your penis, it will also help keep the skin of your penis looking nice and healthy.
Never let a hanger, stretcher, or any other device hang from the head of your penis: The head is the most sensitive part of your penis and thus the most prone to injury.
Constantly monitor your penis temperature and color:
If your penis feels cold or turns dark blue, purple, or black, immediately remove the device. In either instance, your penis is starving for fresh oxygenated blood, which is essential for your penis’ health. After the device is removed, do ten kegels and jelqs to push fresh blood into your penis.
Always start out extremely light and work your way up:
This principle applies tenfold when using a device, because you don’t have as much control as you do when using your hands. With your hands, you can stop at any moment. With a device, however, it could take anywhere from seconds to minutes to remove the device. These few seconds can seem like a lifetime in the instance that something goes wrong. Moreover, it’s really easy to push your penis way beyond its limits with a device—especially with hanging and clamping, which are the two devices most prone to cause an injury. The safest way to use a penis enlargement device is to start out well below what you think you can handle. Start with low weight, pressure, and time.
If you diligently follow these guidelines, you will dramatically minimize the chances of anything wrong occurring. For more safety principles on each particular device, go to the device manufacturer.
9. Penis Enlargement Surgery
Question: “Is there penis enlargement surgery?”
Answer: Yes. Many men who don’t know of penis exercises, or who don’t have the time or patience to commit to a program, decide to go under the knife.
Unfortunately, penis enlargement surgery isn’t as successful as breast enlargement surgery, and the results are often disappointing. In a recent study published by St. Peter’s Andrology Centre and Institute of Urology, urologist David Ralph and colleagues reported that most men who underwent penis enlargement surgery weren’t pleased with the results. In fact, out of forty-two men, only “thirty-five percent of the men were satisfied with the outcome.”
The surgery involved cutting out the penile ligaments, which is the most common technique. Other techniques include silicon injection, using inflatable implants, and grafting fat from other parts of the body into the penis.
“The operation does lengthen the flaccid penis, but usually only by one centimeter (which is just under a half an inch),” says Ralph and his colleagues in the European Urology. Yet, “some patients who persevere with post-op stretching exercises, as much as three centimeters can be achieved, but patients must also be warned that a small degree of penile shortening may occur.”
On the other hand, Dr. Douglas Whitehead, president of the American Academy of Phalloplasty Surgeons and a leading penis enlargement surgeon, suggests a better outcome is more likely. “The average expected length gain is one inch. But well motivated patients may gain up to two inches,” says Whitehead. Dr. Gary Alter, another leading doctor in penis enlargement surgery, says, “Length increases of several inches are rare . . . however, some compulsive weight-hanging users report gains of several inches.”
Whatever the case, it’s clear that the men who use a penis enlargement hanger after surgery gain much more than the men who don’t. It’s also clear that penis enlargement surgery has had mixed reviews. For this reason, several urologists still condemn penis enlargement surgery, and only suggest it when it’s absolutely necessary (and it usually isn’t). Moreover, the results of surgery are often temporary—especially the results of the girth procedures.
The moderators of the Yahoo! Group: Surgical Enlargement Forum, which oversee 5000 members interested in penis enlargement surgery, declare, “Girth enhancement as it is practiced today has not proven successful in spite of what those offering it tell you.”
Dr. Patrick Hudson is an example of many surgeons who don’t perform penis enlargement surgery. “There are several risks that might take place, including infection, scarring, numbness, and loss of penile function.”
Nevertheless, anyone who is thinking about undertaking penis enlargement surgery should do thorough research beforehand. As they say, “you get what you pay for;” and when shopping for the right surgeon, the cheap route is most likely not the safe route. Some doctors are better than others, and there have been a few horror stories of men who had nothing but complications after penis enlargement surgery, often because they didn’t go with an experienced doctor. If you are considering surgery as an option, do your research, contact past patients of each doctor, and don’t do it until you know what to expect.
Dr. Hudson advises, “There are no state or federal laws that control how doctors are trained in penis enlargement surgery, and anyone can call themselves an expert! You may want to look for a board certified surgeon who specializes in penis enlargement surgery.”
At any rate, the effectiveness and safety of penis enlargement surgery is actually getting better. In anywhere from ten to twenty years, penis enlargement surgery might become so successful that it will be as common as breast enlargement surgery.
10. Increasing Flaccid Size
Question: “How can I increase the size of my flaccid penis?”
Answer: If one of your main reasons for penis exercises is to enlarge your flaccid penis, you’re not alone. Many men care about the size of their flaccid penis more than they do their erect size. Perhaps your reasoning is simply for prowess and showing—when you’re in the locker room, at a nude beach, or when you’re wearing your disco pants from the 70s. Or perhaps you’re trying to create the “full package” for your partner, and a penis that is larger and fuller-looking is sometimes more gratifying to both men and women. One woman I interviewed told me, “I don’t care about the size of a penis when it’s erect. It’s the sight of a large bulge in a man’s pants that really turns me on.”
Regardless of your reasoning, your flaccid size will generally increase as your erect penis size does. It might even grow before your erect size does, which is a health body clue and a sign of future erect growth. Some men find, however, that no matter how much their erect size grows, they are unable to increase their flaccid size with traditional exercises.
For instance, one man added over three inches to his erect size, which put him above eight inches in erect length. Yet he was still sporting the same flaccid size before he started performing penis exercises: less than three inches. Fortunately, there are several things that can be done to increase flaccid size. By improving the quality of his blood flow and keeping his penis in an extended state throughout the day, the man reports that he is now a “shower,” with his flaccid penis nearly the same size has his erect. You can do the same too.
Improving Blood Flow
If you want to increase your flaccid size, focus on improving blood flow to your nether regions. Not only will this help you optimize the size of your flaccid hang, it will also optimize your penis health. To improve your blood flow, follow all the advice in Chapter 13: Look Bigger, Feel Bigger. Also:
Ø Do your kegels frequently. Get a solid workout in at least three to four times a week.
Ø Drink plenty of water. Shoot for at least half of your body weight in ounces. So if you weigh 180 pounds, drink 90 or more ounces of water daily.
Ø Take the supplements recommended in the Penis Supplements section of Appendix A. Many men have reported good results with L-arginine, omega-3 fatty acids, and ginseng.
Ø Rub Essential Vein Oil or another mixture with vasodilators on your penis once or twice a day.
Ø Try going commando. Several men have reported that throwing caution to the wind and letting their family jewels live freely have helped improve circulation.
Ø Above all, avoid things that decrease blood flow: caffeine, drugs, cigarettes, and large quantities of alcohol (although a daily glass of wine might actually help improve blood flow).
Avoiding caffeine is important, as it curls up the little guy as quickly as a swift kick to the groin. Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, which decreases blood flow throughout your body and penis. Countless men have noticed a dramatic increase in their flaccid size just by skipping the morning caffeine boost.
“I always heard that caffeine was bad for my penis health and size, but I never believed it until recently,” said one man. “I went on a family vacation for two weeks. I was limited to one cup of coffee a day, opposed to my normal four to six. I noticed an immediate effect on my flaccid size and so did the wife. Not only did she notice my bulge, she thought I was erect. That ended up being a great night!” If you need a daily boost without caffeine, try other natural supplements like vitamin B and ginseng.
Never Let Your Penis Turtle
Along with keeping good blood flow, you’ll want to follow the advice of a man who uses the online alias Big Girtha: “never let it turtle.” He was referring to the turtling effect, when the penis deflates to a 0 percent erection level. By avoiding it like the plague he has increased his flaccid size by several inches and helped countless men follow in his footsteps.
How can you avoid the turtling effect? By keeping your flaccid penis in an extended or engorged state for a long period of time. You can do this several ways.
To keep the penis engorged throughout the day, try wearing a penis ring or a magnetic wrist wrap. Tightly secure the wrap or the ring at the base of your penis. This minimizes blood from leaving your penis, causes it to fill with more blood, and thus causes your penis to expand. Penis rings can be found at most adult shops, and magnetic wrist wraps can be found at most large pharmacies.
With penis rings, wrist wraps, and anything else you use to keep the penis engorged, keep in mind that the idea is to have maximum blood flow in the penis. After you get the device on, do a few Kegels and stimulate your penis here and there to keep the circulation going. Also, be sure that there is still some blood flowing into and out of the penis, as your penis needs fresh oxygen to survive. If it turns dark or feels numb, you have it on too tight.
To keep your penis in an extended state, try wearing an all day stretcher or a penis extender (see the Penis Enlargement Devices section for more information on these devices). You can also try doing fowfers.
Fowfer
A natural exercise that keeps your penis extended and doesn’t require purchasing a device is the “fowfer,” which is named after the online alias of the man who created them. He reports that it helped him go from a “grower” to a “shower” in a few months, and many men have reported similar results by doing this simple exercise on a daily basis.
The fowfer requires no hands and is done while you’re sitting down. As long as you can find a second of privacy to get situated, you’ll be free to do other things and the world will never know the difference. To do the fowfer, make sure your erection level is in the 10 to 40 percent range. Then:
1. Stand up. Grip the head of your penis from behind.
2. Pull your penis up and between your legs, towards your anus.
3. Place the head of your penis on the outside of your anus or near it. The hole provides an extra cushion so there shouldn’t be any pressure on your head. You can also place your penis under one of your cheeks.
4. Carefully sit down. Your penis should be in a fixed, stretched position. There shouldn’t be any pain or discomfort.
5. Stay in the fowfer position for anywhere from 10 to 120 minutes. Many men find that 10 to 20 minutes is enough, some men need longer. Either way, release the fowfer every 20 minutes and massage your penis to get the blood flowing again.
Whether you use a fowfer, a device, or even just manual exercises, you’ll want to avoid doing too much, as it generally causes your flaccid penis to turtle for long periods of time.
11. Premature Ejaculation
Question: “Is there anything I can do to combat premature ejaculation?”
Answer: Let's face it, next to a small penis, premature ejaculation has to rank at the top of worries for a lot of men. Even the most sensitive partner can grow frustrated with a “minute man.” Technically, premature ejaculation is defined as uncontrolled ejaculation before or shortly after sexual penetration, before the man wishes, and often with minimal sexual stimulation. It is one of the most common forms of sexual dysfunction in guys, and has affected almost every man at least once in his life. Using penis exercises can help you control premature ejaculation in three steps:
Ø Step 1 – Create pelvic floor balance, through the use of kegels;
Ø Step 2 – Understand the concept of arousal; and
Ø Step 3 – Practice makes perfect.
Step 1 – Create Pelvic Floor Balance through the use of Kegels
Although the cause of premature ejaculation is often unclear, creating pelvic floor balance is key to have rock hard and long-lasting erections. When there is too much high tone (tension) or too much low tone (weakness) in the pelvic floor muscles, an imbalance occurs. If you have too much tension, this can lead to involuntary kegels leading to premature ejaculation. If you have weakness in the pelvic floor muscles, this can lead to a complete lack of involuntary kegels, which leads to delayed ejaculation. Instead, what you want is balance in these muscles, without too much tension and without weakness, so you can control when you ejaculate.
Involuntary kegels aren't necessarily a bad thing. They are critical in reaching orgasm and facilitate ejaculation. However, the goal is to develop your muscles so involuntary kegels don't happen before you want them to. Instead, you want to be able to suppress this involuntary urge, until you're ready to orgasm.
How to Identify an Unbalanced Pelvic Floor:
There are several ways to help identify an unbalanced pelvic floor. These include:
Ø Premature ejaculation,
Ø Delayed ejaculation,
Ø Poor erection quality,
Ø Reduced libido,
Ø Uncontrollable kegels/spasms,
Ø Incontinence,
Ø Difficulty urinating and defecating,
Ø Pain in the pelvic floor region, or
Ø Hardness when flaccid.
How to Bring Your Pelvic Floor Muscles Into Balance:
For those with too much tension in their pelvic floor muscles – reverse kegels, pelvic stretches, relaxation techniques, and massage are key. Your penis exercise routine should consist of 60 to 70 percent reverse kegels, with the remainder being regular kegels. In fact, you may want to begin with only doing reverse kegels for the first couple of weeks.
If you experience pelvic floor weakness, then you'll want to have a kegel routine based on at least 50 percent of your routine including regular kegels. Whether you have too much tension or weakness, the end goal is the same – healthy, strong and balanced pelvic floor muscles. Where kegels are a conscious contraction of the BC and IC muscles, reverse kegels (as the name implies) is the opposite. Reverse kegels are a purposeful relaxing of these muscles.
Step 2 – Understand the Concept of Arousal
Arousal occurs when the brain releases chemicals known as endorphins. Endorphins are natural painkillers that have a similar chemical structure to that of heroin and other opiates. According to Dr. Barbra Keesling, if you build your sexual arousal in a predictable way, you can release a large amount of endorphins, over a period of time. To develop arousal awareness, Dr. Keesling suggests using an arousal scale, consisting of three levels.
Ø Level 1: “Gentle” - This occurs at the early stage of arousal. You know you're aroused, but don't feel you have to do anything about it. You can just enjoy the feeling of being aroused. The lower end of this level includes not being aroused at all.
Ø Level 2: Strong – This, according to Dr. Keesling is a more active, insistent arousal. You feel like you want to act on the feeling, either with a partner or alone.
Ø Level 3: Urgent – Level 3 arousal includes a driving need that you respond to the feeling. Your arousal demands your attention, and it can take you over the edge into orgasm at the highest end of this level.7
The key here is to listen to your body. Although it may be tempting to lose yourself in the moment, always be aware of your arousal level, whether with a partner or performing penis exercises. As you begin to climb toward Level 3, pay attention to these feelings, and bring yourself back down to a safe Level 2.
Step 3 – Practice Makes Perfect
The old saying “Practice makes perfect.” is very true when it comes to performing penis exercises to help prevent premature ejaculation. Consistency is key. Practice, practice, practice! Whether you're using kegels or the other exercises listed below, try to work up to 20-minute sessions. Increasing your stamina while exercising will help you increase your stamina in the bedroom.
Additionally, don't ejaculate every time you exercise. Again, listen to your body and learn the cues your body gives before you orgasm. When you start to feel yourself reaching this point of no return, back off.
Lastly, start your exercising sessions with positive affirmations. Tell yourself you can do this and believe it. Having the right mental frame of mind is crucial! If you go into the exercises thinking you can't last, you're setting yourself up for failure. A positive attitude and believing in yourself will get you on the path to success.
Kegels for Premature Ejaculation Treatment
As noted earlier in this chapter, kegels have numerous benefits. From building a harder and larger penis and improving prostate health, to increasing ejaculation volume and producing stronger orgasms, kegels are critical to male sexual health. In the case of premature ejaculation, kegels strengthen your PC muscle, and once your PC muscle is strong, it can help you control the urge to ejaculate.
For kegels to work for premature ejaculation, you must be able to hold the contraction for at least ten seconds. When you're able to do this, try the following to help delay orgasm:
Ø Kegel right before you reach the point of no return,
Ø Hold the contraction for at least ten seconds, and
Ø Once the urge to ejaculate has passed, release the kegel.
Training your PC muscle to be strong enough to withstand the pressure of ejaculation is the hardest part of this solution. Training can take anywhere from several weeks to years. Once you've strengthened your PC muscle, you'll also need to know when to do the kegel. Timing, as they say, is everything.
PEGym.com Member Premature Ejaculation Success Stories
Member Name: ethan1066
ethan1066 described premature ejaculation as both disgusting and frustrating. To get over this challenge, he had great success with cock rings. He noted that the pressure slowed the flow of blood leaving from the erect penis, which resulted in not only a harder erection, but significantly increased his stamina.
Member Name: Omegablue
Omegablue had been edging for awhile, but had just started jelqing and ballooning. After only a week, he noticed a significant difference in how much his stamina had increased. The exercises, plus relaxation techniques helped him increase how long he lasted with his girlfriend, from three minutes to over 20 minutes! Omegablue said, “I tried relaxing the whole entire time and when I got to the PONR, I would just totally relax and breathe.”
He noted that the head of his cock always felt over sensitive, when he had sex. To counter this, while ballooning, he rubbed the head on and off to help desensitize it. This, along with the relaxation, has helped him control when he orgasms.
Member Name: RyboT
RyboT took the matter of premature ejaculation into his own hands – literally. He used masturbation to help overcome premature ejaculation. He noted, “Instead of going for the gold straight away, I now see how long I can go for without feeling the urge to cum.” Thanks to this hands-on experience building, RyboT has extended his time by at least ten minutes and says he can now cum pretty much on demand.
Member Name: Carson32
Carson32 found the opposite solution to be true, when compared to RyboT. His masturbation habit had conditioned himself to cum as quickly as possible. He stopped masturbating so frequently and re-trained his ejaculatory reflex to last longer than his original 30 seconds.
Member Name: HighHopes
HighHopes found that he had a problem with premature ejaculation, especially when a day or two had passed without having sex with his girlfriend. He would feel like ejaculating after only one or two penetrations. His solution was reverse kegels. When he felt too excited during sex, he'd relax, perform reverse kegels and keep going. HighHopes was able to use reverse kegels to pace himself so that he could finally cum at the same time as his girlfriend, which was not only a huge relief but also a tremendous confidence booster.
Member Name: trainingtzr
After hearing how is girlfriend's ex lasted significantly longer than he did in bed, traningtzr knew he had to do something about his premature ejaculation. He found several things helped. First, he tried to keep his mind off of sex before the actual event and concentrated on foreplay for his girlfriend. Once having sex, he used distraction, by thinking of random, non-stimulating topics, to keep his arousal level down. When he began to reach the PONR, trainingtzr also found reverse kegels to help control his arousal level.
Member Name: Panther
Panther suffered from premature ejaculation for many years. He attributed it to a “screwed up childhood.” He found five steps to solving his problem:
1. Kegels, kegels, kegels;
2. Breathing from the lower belly and relaxation;
3. He reduced his anxiety by talking with his girlfriend, telling her the problem and having her commit to helping him;
4. He learned to enjoy the journey of sex as much as the orgasmic ending; and
5. He sought counseling for the issues he needed to address in his childhood.
Member Name: michaela
michaela suffered from premature ejaculation, and still occasionally does. He found that premature ejaculation for him centered on learned behavior from masturbation and previous sexual experiences, which led to quick release. These resulted in a conditioned behavior that sex meant cum quickly. He changed his masturbation techniques and also realized he needed to work on his anxiety levels.
The anxiety levels were his biggest roadblock. When he was anxious, he found his body was automatically in tense mode. His muscles were contracted and his breathing was heavy. Both of these are counter-productive to increasing your stamina.
