5. Several doctors have done studies on the effects of a certain type of penis exercise known as the kegel, which works out the pelvic floor muscles. In one study conducted by Dr. Frank Sommer, urologist and professor at Hamburg University of Men’s Health, kegels were more effective than erection drugs.
6. Many of these benefits have been reported by men in online support groups and forums, along with books and scientific journals like Dr. Grace Dorey’s book. Dorey, Grace. Pelvic Floor Exercises for Erectile Dysfunction. London: Whurr Publishers, 2004.

1. The JAI stretch actually stands for Johan’s Active Isolated stretch (Johan is the online alias of the man who discovered the exercise). Although active isolated stretches are meant for skeletal muscles and their tendons, many men have found that they work for penis exercises as well. As a side note, the uli and the horse squeeze are also named after the aliases of their creators.

2. Penile Mondor’s disease is technically thrombosis of the main dorsal vein of the penis—the large vein that runs down the middle of the shaft. However, a recently published scientific article on penile Mondor’s disease suggests that all penile clotted, inflamed veins fall into the category of Mondor’s—not just the dorsal vein. Technically this may not be the case, but the exact term of penile Mondor's is still a matter of debate in the scientific and medical communities. Other similar medical ailments that are often placed in the same category with penile Mondor’s include sclerosing lymphangitis—inflammation of lymph vessels—and thromboses of smaller veins.
