The most important article for any man looking to improve the size and hardness of his penis. Follow your “PIs,” and you’ll gain more, you’ll gain quicker, and you’ll exercise safer.

So what are the PIs? After reading accounts of those who have had good growth, as well personal experiences of growth and loss of progress, it has become apparent that there are Physiologic Indicators (PIs’) that can guide you while you’re exercising your penis.

A breakdown of the Physiological Indicators

PIs (Physiological Indicators) are the observable physical responses of your penis to the forces applied in penile exercising. Anyone who has done any PE has seen these, yet most don’t use them for the invaluable information that they offer. I break them down into Negative PIs, Positive PIs and Neutral PIs.

NEGATIVE PIs meaning that when you see these, it is a sign that you are over training your unit, and you need to cut back the amount of force/time applied.

POSITIVE PIs means that it is an excellent indicator that you are NOT over training your unit, and probably improving it.

NEUTRAL PIs are neither obviously positive or negative. They must be INTERPRETED in relation to other definite Positive or Negative PIs. They are referred to as neutral, because at times, they may be a positive indicator, and other times, a negative indicator.  Whether these Neutral PIs are positive or negative for YOU…will only become obvious when other DEFINITE Positive or Negative PIs begin to show.

Lets start with some definite Negative PIs

• Pain in the penis
• Decreased night and morning wood
• Decreased hardness of erections
• Numbness
• Discoloration
• Loss of size ( persisting more than a day)

Now for the definite Positive PIs;

• Larger flaccid hang lasting all day
• Increased night and morning wood
• Increased hardness of erections
• Easier to achieve erections
• Increase of normal size
• Increased horniness

And the Neutral PIs:

• Temporary penis contraction after a PE workout
• Redness
• Spotting
• Slight achiness in your penis
• Increased size temporarily, a few minutes to a couple hours
• Edema (fluid build up; swelling) in the penis skin

Of all the PIs, size gain or loss is the bottom line! Size loss or gain will give you the final word on whether you are being effective or not.

Putting the PIs in Use

Lets say a beginner starts with a simple routine; a 5 minutes warm-up followed by 5 minutes jelqing. When he is done, he notices his unit is slightly larger, reddish and hangs fuller for a few minutes followed by some contraction. Later on he finds that he has increased night and morning wood.

Together this is a good picture, the increased night and morning wood indicate that the other Neutral PIs can be interpreted as Positive PIs. At that point, it would be sensible for this beginner to continue this routine and measure himself about once every one to two weeks. If after two weeks, all the PIs are the same, yet he has made no gains, he should increase his force and or time of PE.

Why? Because there are no PIs indicating over-training (Negative PIs), therefore his lack of growth is due to UNDER TRAINING.  In this scenario, it would probably be smart for him to increase his jelq time to 10 minutes. This he should stay with, watching his PIs for indications of Negatives.

Growth for most of us is a slim margin between too much and too little.

So going back to our Newbie, so he ups his jelqs to 10 minutes, and still has no Negative PIs. This indicates that he is still not into over training – a good thing. Let’s say, after 2 weeks he re-measures and has 1/4 inch growth. This of course is the ultimate Positive PI, and he should STAY with his routine until he stops growing. Then, and only then would increased force/time be called for.

Let’s take a different scenario

John Q Dickpuller has read the latest technique of hanging a bowling ball off his dick and decides to give it a try. First thing he notices is after the work out, his unit turtles up on him (Neutral PI). Later on he sees that morning and night wood is gone (Negative PI). Finally, when he measures in about a week, he sees he has lost a half inch in length. This bottom line Negative PI indicator tells him he is way into over training!

The turtling, interpreted in light of the loss of size and loss of night and morning wood, is a Negative PI for him. John now knows that that contraction of his penis immediately after his workout is an early indicator of over training his unit.

He lays off completely and waits for his normal nite and morning wood to return, which it does in about one week. This is a good indicator that he has recovered from the excessive trauma and is ready get back in the game.

John now tries again, this time with a tennis ball. He sees that after his workout he gets slight shrinkage, that only lasts for 30 minutes. He finds his nite and morning wood improves, and after 2 weeks sees that he is starting to gain size.

John now knows that contraction for 30 minutes or less, is an early Positive PI for him, and keeps that in mind whenever he makes any changes to his routine.

Lets use a third, more complex scenario

Mr B. Dog finds that if he whacks his dick with a hammer, it turns purple, and shrinks up for a week. And he loses his erections completely. Wisely, he decides to leave it completely alone for 4 weeks.

Slowly his nite and morning erections return, his flaccid hang is now longer than before. He find whens he is fully recovered, he has gained a half inch in length and and inch in girth.

Here we have a definite Negative PI and a Neutral PI, but interpreted in the light of the final PI (that is, gains), we can say that for Dog, a shrunken and purple penis is a positive indicator of future growth for him, if he takes the time to fully recover.

Recovery is determined by return of definite Positive PIs.

Last scenario

S. Knucklehead decided to try pumping. He is making slow and steady gains. His night and morning wood is excellent, the best in years. He also finds that his day time flaccid hang is longer than ever and fluffed out most of the day.

Mr. K knows from this experience that a longer, fluffed flaccid is a Positive PI for him that he is “in the zone”. Mr. Knucklehead decides to supercharge his pumping session by doing it while clamped. This technique not only feels great, it causes his dick to swell to all time new size with no lymphatic fluid (during the PE)!

Knucklehead gets so enthusiastic that he does it for 5 sessions in one day! That night Mr K. finds his wood is gone, as well as the mornings. He also finds that his penis is hanging shorter and more contracted. He measures himself over the next week and finds that he has lost a full one half inch.

So even though he found that his unit was huge during the pumping, the resulting definite Negative PI’s indicated that it was more trauma than his unit could handle.

Mr. K. learned that a swollen dick during PE could be a definite Negative PI for him!  Mr. K took a week off and waited for night and morning wood, as well as normal flaccid hang to return to normal (Positive PIs).

Mr. K restarted his program, but with 5-10 minutes of clamped pumping. He carefully watched his PIs for indications of over training before adding any force/time.

The bottom line: your penis has definite responses to the forces you use on it.

Learn to read the Positives and Negatives, and interpret the Neutrals.

Using these as guidelines for your workout, you will have a much better chance at dialing in the amount of force/time needed for you to achieve growth.

Learn how getting your attitude right will not only increase your chances of success, but also your penis health.

I believe it is best to put GROWTH aside from your mind and go for a HEALTHY dick! By doing that, you have a much greater chance of growing a big dick too! That is to say, go for harder more frequent erections [better Erectile Quality or EQ], along with a heavy flaccid, and a constant slight horniness too.  I say this because, almost universally, if you’re “in the zone” with your routine, then you will experience that.  And if you are in “the zone” that gives you the best chance of growth.

Go For Positive PI’s

Once you obtain positive PI’s…gradually increase time/force while MAINTAINING those positive PI’s. Doing this will allow you to find your ideal time/force, while avoiding excessive time/force that stops growth and can actually result in shrinkage. If you begin to see diminution of those positive PI’s while increasing intensity, then either stop the progression of your routine (time/force) or BETTER YET, take an extra day off and go back to the last productive parameter you were using.

The process may be slow at first, but you will experience the benefit of more powerful dick, which in itself is great and great for your sex partner. By gradually increasing intensity while paying attention to your PIs, you are almost guaranteed to find a productive routine, and be able to stay in it far better and longer.

On the other hand, by rushing into PE, with your best best guess, and constantly changing…it could be YEARS before you find a productive routine…IF EVER!!!

Take it Gradual

One of the things I advise guys is to separate PE from entertainment. That is to say, develop a scientific basic plan and SLOWLY increase time/force while maintaining positive PIs. If you get carried away with your time/force because it feels good (and God knows that it can), you can totally blow your routine and progress.

Further, I advise guys to stay away from chemical/vitamin enhancers (cialis, viagra, arginine etc) UNTIL they get a read on what their routine is doing as far as their PI’s. If you artificially enhance your erection, you will have no idea if you are overtraining…it could be masked by the chemical.

I truly believe that a healthy dick will grow much faster, better and safer than a beat up one. I think any method of applied force to the penis can be productive if you understand what you are trying to do…and how to go about it in a scientific manor.

If It Aint’ Broke, Why Fix It?

One more thing: NEVER change a routine that IS resulting in progress!!!!!!  Wait until progress slows greatly or stops, then incrementally increase it until progress starts again.

The other alternative is to take a one or two week break and resume the routine that stopped working. This is probably the wisest option to try first. If during the break you make some gains…then it reinforces the idea that you will benefit from occasional breaks more than increased time/force. It is also a possible indicator of overtraining. If you find you lose some progress during the break…shrinkage…it is a good indicator that you need to increase your time/force.

It’s also best to try to break a growth plateau with increased time first, before trying increased force. In the long run, the less force we use to achieve growth, the less likely to induce a fibrotic/toughening response that will eventually mandate a long deconditioning break.

Male enhancement through penis exercising isn’t just a wet dream — it’s a success story shared by thousands of men just like you.  Read on to learn how exercising to enlarge the penis really works, and how you too can build the thicker, longer penis of your fantasies.

WISHING FOR A BIGGER, HARDER YOU

Ever fantasized about having a bigger, harder penis, but not been convinced that your dreams were really achievable? Many men are unsure that penis exercise (a) really works, or (b) is worth the time and effort. We’re here to prove, first of all, that it does — and secondly, boy, is it ever! By starting with the basics and continually making time for your penis exercise routine, you too can benefit from time-tested techniques that have led thousands of men to develop harder, longer, thicker, and stronger penises. Why would you want to hold yourself back from being the best you — and the best lover — you can possibly be?

But how does the male enhancement process really work? First we’ll discuss the scientific reasoning behind penis enlargement through exercise, and then we’ll point you — and the penis of your dreams! — toward beginner exercises that will maximize your potential.

PENILE EXERCISE — IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?

In a word, yes! Penile exercises (or exercises that work out the penis) can range from one basic exercise to an advanced workout regimen consisting of multiple exercises. Just as in weight training, beginners should never start out doing advanced exercises. But what are these exercises based upon — haven’t we all heard that the penis isn’t a muscle? Not true — or at least, not completely. First of all, there are pelvic floor muscles at the base of your penis whose strength can greatly impact the quality of your erections and your ability to last longer in bed. Secondly, studies have found that while the penis is not a muscle of the same type as your biceps, triceps, or quads, it is indeed made up of a large proportion of a different type of muscle tissue: smooth muscle. There must be a sufficient proportion of smooth muscle tissue in the penis for healthy erections to occur, and (contrary to what you might expect) this tissue must be able to completely relax in order for the penis to lengthen and enlarge.

So how exactly does penis exercising work? There are a few competing theories surrounding the exact process, but in the words of Rob Michaels penis enlargement expert and author of the book Penis Exercises, “considering the fact that penile exercising makes erections stronger, harder, and longer-lasting, it would make sense that penile exercising either creates more smooth muscle cells or causes the smooth muscle cells to grow.” Either way causes penis growth. Stretches may also elongate the connective tissue layers (known as the tunica), allowing further growth. And this growth is exactly what our forum members are talking about:

PENIS ENLARGEMENT — FROM DREAM TO REALITY

In the words of our forum member Big Girtha, “There is an obsession sweeping this country. In fact, it has become much bigger than that. This [penis enlargement] hysteria knows no bounds; it is in the heart of all men in every walk of life on every continent of the world. I call it The Dream.” Compare exercising the penis to exercising the body. Some men may not be entirely happy with their penis length or girth, feeling like the body they were born with is not the one they would have chosen. Others merely want to become better lovers, to feel stronger, to recover from mild erectile dysfunction, or to last longer in bed. There are as many reasons to exercise the penis as there are men.

GROWING YOUR ROUTINE

Now that we’ve got you raring to go, let’s pause for a warning about taking it slowly! Let’s pretend you were bench pressing for the first time. You wouldn’t start out benching 300 lbs, unless you were looking for a reason to go to the emergency room. Instead, you would start out light and then gradually work your way up to 300 pounds. Exercising the penis requires the same thought: steadily build your workout time and intensity. Moreover, in the beginning, less is more. Building your routine up slowly and consistently will lead to growth. However, your results may be slowed if you try to progress faster than your body will allow.

WHERE TO BEGIN

On this site you will find a variety of advanced exercises that will allow for great ways to increase the intensity of your workouts. However, for the first few weeks to months you’ll want to stick with the basic exercises that we also cover: the Kegel, the Jelq, and the Basic Stretch. If you are exercising your penis for health reasons, such as curing mild erectile dysfunction, then kegeling, jelqing, and stretching will often do the trick.

GROWTH IN NO TIME?

According to AJ “Big Al” Alfaro, personal trainer and Male Enhancement Coach, “People talk about being pressed for time. Take 20 minutes a day to devote to penis exercises. Are you willing to set aside a few minutes a day for building a bigger and harder penis?”

Trying to enlarge your penis too quickly can be unhealthy and even dangerous.  Instead, build your routine slowly to maximize your gains.

ONE LAST THING…

There you have it. Our Beginner’s Guide articles have covered everything you need to know to start working toward your desired penis size and hardness. You didn’t even have to use your credit card.

An important final word about moving up in time and intensity: increasing the intensity of your workouts is essential to gaining. However, the worst thing you can do is rush into building a penis bigger than your grandmother’s Thanksgiving turkey.

Wanting a bigger penis is perfectly normal for a man, but obsessing over it is unhealthy and even dangerous.

WE’RE NOT JOKING, LESS IS MORE FOR BEGINNERS

Before you speed through the advanced penis exercises quicker than Britney Spears speeds through boyfriends, you should realize that less is more (yes, again!), especially in the beginning. So, slow down there, Mr. Schwarzenegger.

The penis is man’s true best friend! Treat your best friend with the respect he deserves. Don’t overwork him. Relax and give him adequate rest in between workouts — the gains will come in time.

If you move up too quickly, you are liable to do more harm than good.

When exercising the penis, you’ll want to steadily increase the time and intensity. This increase should be gradual.

To do this, approach penile exercising as you would approach running long distances. If you’ve never run more than a few miles, you wouldn’t attempt running a marathon — you would hurt yourself. In most cases, you would begin running just a few miles and, over time, train your body to run long distances. Exercising the penis follows the same concept: start out light and work your way up. This will help you avoid injury and maximize your gains.

Moreover, start out with a set schedule, and move up accordingly. Adjust yourself to your needs. If you are gaining, there is no rush to add more time; if you are not gaining, then try slowly increasing the time and intensity of your workouts.  That being said, the beginner’s routine is a guideline; it does not have to be followed with exact precision.

COME TELL US ALL ABOUT IT

Lastly, come introduce yourself on our penis forum. Tell us your story. More importantly, we want to hear your success story! Once you’ve seen results, tell us what you gained and your new feelings about your gains.

This beginning penis enlargement workout is designed to maximize your growth within your first five weeks of penile exercise.

IN THE BEGINNING, LESS IS MORE

There are countless penis enlargement routines floating around on the internet, from beginner routines to the highly advanced, and from sensible penis exercises to over-rigorous, potentially dangerous ones. We have found this routine to be the safest and healthiest starting point for your male enhancement gains.

Before you jump into any advanced penile exercises (such as bends, squeezes, clamping, etc), use the following routine for at least five weeks. This beginning routine is designed to maximize your gains.

Going beyond the following routine too early often has the opposite effect of your goal — and sometimes can even cause temporary erectile dysfunction due to over-training.

THE BEGINNER’S PENIS EXERCISE ROUTINE

During your first week, take two days off between each workout.  Thereafter, do the following routine every other day:

• 10 minutes of penis warm-up
• 6 minutes of basic stretching
• 10 minutes of jelqing (Remember to jelq in three second strokes.)

Also do:

• Your Kegels at least three days a week.  Move up according to the suggested Kegel routine.

ADVANCING YOUR ROUTINE

• For steady growth, you’ll have to continually increase the intensity of your workout.  Accordingly, over five weeks time, move up to 25 minutes of jelqing and 10 minutes of stretching. This move up should be gradual.
• As you move up and start modifying your routine, don’t forget to be deliberate about the order in which you do your exercises. Many men stretch first because it elasticizes the tissues in the penis, getting them ready to expand outward for gains in length and girth.
• Before you move up in intensity, read sparkyx’s article: Physiological Indicators (PIs) to Help Growth!. It will allow you to maximize your gains, and dramatically reduce your chance of any over-training injury occurring.
• Eventually, it’s important to find the penis exercise routine that works the best for you. Remember that less is more in the beginning, but if you’re not seeing or feeling any change after five or more weeks, you may want to change your workout up a little.

MORE ROUTINES

Here are a few more routines to choose from. Remember, as you move forward toward finding the routine that works best for you, that each exercise can also be done separately. All of the routines in this article just serve as examples as to how you should typically organize your exercise schedule.

1. A lighter beginner routine: The alternative beginner routine, by babbis. Use this routine if you’re starting penile exercising with weak erections, if you don’t have a lot of time, or if you have sex or masturbate less than once a week.
2. A more intense beginner routine: Here’s another alternative beginner routine, by JonPop.  We don’t necessarily suggest this routine to most new guys as it’s intense and some men already over-train with the traditional beginner’s routine listed here. That said, if after trying the traditional beginner’s routine for a few weeks you find that your erections are strong and your PIs are healthy, you can use this routine to increase the intensity.
3. More advanced and beginner routines. You can find 8 different beginner and advanced routines in Exercising the Penis.
4. Other possibilities: To see what routines other men have tried, check out our penis forum.

Like all tissue, the penis adapts, so even if you have a period of success with a great routine that you love, you may eventually need to explore adding to it or adapting it to ensure that you keep gaining.

THE FINAL WORD

As you become disciplined about working out your penis, don’t forget the rest of your body. According to Big Al, “By losing just 20 pounds of fat, you may increase the visible length of your penis by up to an inch.” Penis enhancement exercises are a great complement to a traditional exercise routine. Imagine being longer, thicker, stronger, harder, and with a toned body to match, all at once!

In this Ask the Experts section, AJ “Big Al” Alfaro answers questions about maintaining peak sexual stamina. He covers kegels, the butcher broom, the stop and start method for stamina control, and more.

Stamina is important to a healthy sex life. Butcher’s broom, erect kegels, and the start/stop method can get you there.

QUESTION: “Could I do kegels for sexual stamina without an erection. . .

Also, I purchased the “Penis Exercises” book by the editors of PEGym.com (figured there would be a lot of information). There is a description of a Kegel, the Kegel slam – slowly contract the pelvic floor muscles for over 5 seconds, then hold the contraction for 5 seconds, then slowly release over 5 seconds. I tried it a couple of times, and it seems to help control the muscles. I would like to incorporate some of these.”

Kegel Slams and other kegel exercises are outlined in the book Penis Exercises.

Big Al: Actually, since you can do 50 of the erect Kegels, you CAN move on to more challenging exercises.

You can do the Kegel Slam, if you’d like, or the towel raise or Super Kegel. However, Kegels should be done with an erection for maximum effect.

You can do these exercises without an erection, but they’ll be much less challenging and productive.

Q: “Where can I buy the ‘butchers broom‘ for sexual stamina . . .

. . . and do you think that will help speed up the healing process? I can’t lie; the name sounds a bit dangerous, but if you think it will help with my situation, I’ll give it a shot!”

Butcher’s broom, a natural supplement that can be purchased in most health stores, supports penile health.

Big Al: Any nutrition or health food store should have butcher’s broom, and you can find a lot of stores selling it online. It also goes under the name “Ruscogenin”. It’s usually very inexpensive, and I haven’t heard of anything harmful happening to clients that have taken it.

Q: “Should I fantasize when doing the ‘stop and start’ . . .

. . . or am I supposed to masturbate without fantasizing? This might be a stupid question, but obviously I could go for a lot longer if I’m not fantasizing and not sure if that’s the purpose.”

Big Al: Yes, using visualizations during your stop and starts is an extremely important step.

Besides the actual scenarios, you should visualize yourself performing with a feeling of ultimate confidence. Fantasize so completely that you’re able to “lose” yourself to the passion of the moment. Learn to capture the “feel” of that particular sensation and retrieve it when you feel the need for a confidence boost.

Fantasizing can enhance the start and stop exercise.

Q: “I’m hanging weights and have a comfort question . . .

. . . I would like to know what I can use to protect my penis and to increase comfort while hanging. I’ve heard good things about silicone gel. Where can I find silicone gel in strip form? What is the brand name? Can I get it at WalMart or a drug store? I would love to try it. With the right wrap, I believe I can hang over 30 pounds without a problem. I am anxious to try this.”

Big Al: You can go to any supermarket or drugstore and find silicone gel in the section for foot care, in the form of insoles. In some store’s medical sections, they sell silicone gel in strips. Some brands include Dr. Scholl’s and Pedifix. Theraband is also a good alternative to the gel.

Q: Do you have recommendations on how many reps to use for the beginner’s course?

Big Al: For jelqs, if you’re new to them, I’d suggest starting at about 25 slow, well-formed reps. Don’t focus so much on the pressure or intensity as much as the FEEL of the exercise.

Concentrate on each singular rep and VISUALIZE your penis getting larger and yourself feeling more confident as you do them. The visualization part might seem silly to some, but it’s extremely important!

The OM exercise is done as one series. For Kegels, try to do 5-10 reps (erect). For the Stop and Start exercise, try to get to at least 10 minutes.

This is the first in a series of articles designed to help you get the most from your ball pumping experience. In this article, we will explore some of the reasons for ball pumping, the dynamics involved in getting proper expansion, and some equipment used in achieving maximum growth.

There are several reasons why men use ball pumping to enlarge their testicles.

Why Pump Your Testicles?

Just as there are a wide array of reasons a guy would use a penis pump to enlarge his penis, there are equally as many reasons why a guy would use a ball pump to enlarge his testicles and scrotal sac. Personally, I use a ball pump in conjunction with my penis pump for two reasons:

1. I enjoy the feel of a large, heavy scrotum and
2. I think large testicles give the overall genitalia (when engaged in other penis enlargement techniques) a better look.

Whatever your reasons may be, testicle pumping is an enjoyable exercise and has a host of benefits when done correctly.

Understanding Your Plumbing:

Before beginning, it’s important to understand the anatomy of the scrotum and testicles.

Before any enlargement routine, understanding the dynamics of what is taking place within your body is key. Enlarging your testicles and scrotal sac is an easy process, much easier than enlarging the penis. However, great care must be taken in order not to cause any serious damage to the testicles both during and after your sessions.

The scrotal sac is essentially a bag of skin that holds the testicles and seminal vessels. The testicles hang free inside the scrotal sac, but they are not held up by the scrotum. They are supported by tissue that acts to hold them in place, and they hang somewhat freely within the sac. This tissue is highly flexible and reacts to temperature variations by contracting or expanding. This lifts the testicles closer or farther away from the body. The scrotal sac reacts to these temperature changes as well (think about how your sac contracts in a cold shower or expands on a hot summer day).

Along with these tissues, blood vessels and seminal vesicles reside in the scrotal sac. In conjunction with the testicles, these are the areas ball pumping targets. By pumping the scrotum, these tissues are made to expand and lengthen, resulting in “low hangers.” A typical testicle pumping session can last anywhere from 30 minutes to more than 3 hours. Advanced pumpers often go longer than 4 hours and can expand their scrotum to 16″ or more in diameter. Reaching sizes like this isn’t difficult, but does take quite a bit of time. The tissues within the scrotal sac will react better to the process when they are in the right state or condition, so ensuring the conditions are conducive to enlargement is very important.

Temperature is a key element in getting proper expansion during your pumping session. Just as in penis pumping, testicle pumping at warm temps causes tissue within the scrotal sac to soften and elongate easier. Pumping also enlarges the scrotal sac itself, which makes more length for the testicles to drop into; and it tends to have some permanent enlarging effects on the testicles themselves.

Achieving the Testicle Enlargement Results You Want

Testicle pumping is a slow process but well worth the time.

Testicle pumping isn’t for everyone. It’s a long slow process but in my opinion, well worth the time invested to enlarging your total package. If you’ve had any experience with standard penis pumping, testicle pumping is a natural and easy progression.

For comfort, you will need a much wider cylinder or a special-purpose one, such as a 2-stage cylinder. There are various types of cylinders on the market, such as STJ’s (Sun Tea Jars) and larger MonsterTubes. I highly recommend the LongJohnny cylinder as it affords the user an easy to use mechanism with a high level of comfort. Different cylinders will provide different results.

If you pump in a typical combination cylinder, like the STJ or most 2-stage cylinders, you get both scrotal and testicular inflation, but the stretch is unilateral: the lengthwise and side-to-side tensions are the same. While you will certainly get a large sac, these types of cylinders do nothing to stretch the suspending tissues since there is no extending tension or pull on the suspensory tissues.

With cylinders designed primarily for scrotal length, the stretch is unilateral at first. But the scrotum will soon meet the cylinder walls and any additional extension is developed lengthwise. Great care should be taken here to make sure you get a cylinder at the right size for you.

One size does not fit all, and you need the right size if you want it to work.

You want it to actually draw the testicles (not just the scrotum) down along with the scrotal sac, and not every cylinder is designed for that purpose. That’s why I personally recommend the LongJohnny from PumpToys. It is extremely comfortable and provides both the unilateral and lengthwise stretch that gives the scrotum the large, long and heavy look and feel that helps enhance the overall genitalia.

Conclusion

This article provided an overview of some of the reasons for testicle pumping, the dynamics involved in getting proper expansion, and some equipment used in achieving maximum growth. The benefits are great, and when done responsibly, testicle pumping can be a very rewarding experience. In the next article, we will focus on some actual techniques used in testicle pumping, developing a good testicle pumping routine and explore the dynamics of how testicle pumping can actually enhance penis girth.

Divorced and living in Miami, Rockitman has been an active member of PEGym.com for more than a year. He offers valuable and unique insight into the penis enlargement journey.

For our hero, the penis enlargement journey began with a search for forums.

The Penis Enlargement Journey Begins

A young man comes to PEGym.com’s penis enlargement forum dejected, rejected and down and out. Maybe it was the girlfriend who bragged about the anaconda her former lover had in his pants, or he’s inexperienced and had some ‘performance anxiety’ his first time out of the chute. Maybe its just that his mental-image of his penis is frozen in time from when he was 10 years old. Whatever the reason, he searches for a penis enlargement forum looking for something — a bigger, better penis.

Of course everyone knows that a bigger penis cures ALL of a man’s woes, right?

This young man lurks some of the other penis enlargement forums and lands here at PEGym.com. He launches into the JP-90 beginner’s routine with all the faith and diligence he can muster. He stretches and jelqs with textbook precision and form. He learns what BPEL means and has reverse kegels down to a science. Along the way he trades techniques, experiences, his opinion on women, and even a joke or two with kindred souls on the penis enlargement forums. He then makes some modest gains in a few months, strengthens muscles he REALLY didn’t know he had and enjoys the enhanced sexual performance that comes with it.

Thanks to penis enlargement, our hero has a new-found confidence that spills over into other areas of his life.

New-Found Confidence

Our intrepid young man is now well-versed in the advanced techniques of penis enlargement, thanks to the forums, and his hard work and he’s made some gains. Granted, he’s not slinging his member over his shoulder, but the results of his efforts are somewhat noticeable, even if only to himself. By now, he’s an old hand at penis enlargement exercises and is giving advice to other members on the forums, gaining him a slew of rep-points and a certain degree of respectability among those on PEGym.com.

This newly-found confidence has permeated into other aspects of his life: at work or school. People comment, “You changed your hairstyle; didn’t you?” or “Are you working out?” Girls begin to notice him more.

It’s gotta be that new bulge in his jeans from the inch he gained in length and the quarter-inch in girth from almost a year of penis exercising, right? Maybe it’s the fact that our hero achieved a goal he set for himself. Maybe he hasn’t quite achieved it yet, but he’s well on his way there.

The zen of penis enlargement occurs when you transcend the physical aspect of penis exercising.

The Zen of Penis Enlargement

Much like the kid who got picked on one too many times in school and joins a dojo and learns martial arts to become a Grand Master as an adult, he transcended even the actual physical aspect of penis enlargement. He found that the answer was not in his penis, but in his character. Whether it’s building a better penis, becoming adept at self-defense, or being able to run long distances, there comes a point in which a diligent and conscientious practitioner of almost any endeavor of “superficial” self-improvement transcends the physical aspect itself. He finds strength, not just in the physical sense, but psychologically and spiritually as well.

THERE’S A LOT MORE TO PENIS ENLARGEMENT THAN MEETS THE EYE!!!

One of the best things about PEGym.com is the community that’s developed here. For many, their penis enlargement journey is something they don’t share with family and friends. Therefore, an online community where they can ask questions, get information and be supported is critical to their success.

This series of articles are one-on-one interviews with some of our members who have already experienced success with penis enlargement. Some are still working toward an ultimate end goal. All want to help others along the way. If you’d like to share your experience with other members, please PM me. If you have questions you’d like answered, PM me as well.

A BIG thank you to GoingForGold, for answering my questions.

Q: What started you on the path of penis enlargement?

A: I had always been curious, but thought of penis enlargement as a hoax. When I started watching porn in my dorming situation I would constrict my penis under my briefs and edge, not knowing it was a PE exercise. I started to notice a change in size and EQ, looked around the web, and PEGym.com seemed to have the best community to find information in.

Q: When you were a beginner, what were the challenges you came across and how did you overcome them?

A: My challenge was doing PE in a dorm. I would edge under the covers for 30 minutes to an hour, then go to the showers, and do my routine. It was somewhat of a challenge getting my bone down to make the walk down the hall to the showers.

Q: Which exercises have you used – which are your favorites/did you cut any from your routine?

A: I think I’ve found and tried every exercise listed in the “Exercises” section of PEGym.com. If they didn’t work for me or feel effective, I would experiment with grip and erection level to find an exercise that worked for me. Currently, I’m going for length and using stretches in every direction possible and with any grip possible. I prefer high erection level exercises, as they feel the most effective and beneficial for erect gains. I also do erect swings, side to side, up-and-down, and my favorite, helicopter — with and without hands.

I never liked jelqs much, I think I sort of jelq already when I masturbate vigorously. Switching to using my left hand during these vigorous sessions has helped reduce my curve to the left a great deal, at least when erect. Fixing my curve/hang/lig-tension has allowed me more flexibility in the bedroom, adding much to my lover’s and my enjoyment.

Q: Do you use any supplements? If so, what? And, do you still take them? If not, why not?

A: I have never used supplements because I am 22 and believe a healthy diet with exercise and a diverse caloric intake provides me with all the supplementation I need to aid my PE efforts. Increasing EQ through increasing general physical health and muscular strength seems to work for me.

Measuring without BSing yourself is key to recognizing your gains.

Q: What do you know now about penis enlargement that you wish you had known when you started?

A: I wish I had known to measure properly, without BSing myself. The best I have to go off is what I remember with my hands. Which isn’t so bad.

Q: What are your penis enlargement end goals?

A: I want to get to ~500ml so I can say I have a pint in my pants. That would be 9″ BPEL x 7″ MEG or 9.5″ BPEL x 6.7″ MEG depending on how I grow. Currently, I’m focusing on length, and my goal is to gain as much as possible and 8.5″ would be nice I recently got to 8″, which is super awesome!

Defy reality with your own penis!

Q: Any other advice you’d like to share with beginning PE’ers?

A: Enjoy your PE time and get into it because there is no other feeling like it once you start to gain. It’s like you’re defying reality with you own penis!

There are a great number if choices when it comes to buying a penis extender. The following article has the strict purpose to direct men toward making the best decision when purchasing a penis extender. Following are six tips helping you become a smarter shopper.

These updated tips were developed based on my own experiences and reading of the trials and tribulations of fellow penis/penile extender users.

1. Does the Penis Extender Come With Extra Parts

When shopping for a penis extender, look for one with different rod lengths, so you can “build” it to suit your flaccid length. As you grow,  you can then add extra length. We know why people buy extenders, but can you imagine buying one that is so long, you find you are too short to fit properly?

Also, look for a penile extender where you can order replacement parts, if needed. Look closely at what comes with it. Think about if you will need either extra nooses, straps, pads, comfort cushions, etc, or replacement parts. Some parts may be expendables; you buy and replace them yourself.

2. Research How You Fasten into the Extender

This is critical. It’s all about comfort! How you fasten with or without a foreskin is important. There is the silicon tube noose to loop over the shaft, just behind the head or Glans. There are some extenders that use a strap, about an inch wide, which is also fastened just behind the Glans.

Some extenders allow the use of either or both noose and strap. Some have a chamber with ancillary latex, where a vacuum draws the Glans into the chamber.There may be add-on parts that change your extender, so it uses a vacuum sleeve attaching mount. With these, you fasten in flaccid.

Some extenders provide padding or foam wraps, to allow you to wrap a protective layer around the shaft. There are plenty of forum posts demonstrating other alternatives to facilitate comfort, but comfort is key.

3. Does Your Penis Extender Come With Instructions?

This is sometimes a difficult thing to shop for. Look to see if there is a manufacturer’s users forum or an 800 number for support. Does the penile extender come with a CD of instructions, PDF files, or videos for the user, to help make sure you’re using it properly and safely?

Visit your favorite PE forum (PEGym.com) and see if others have posted instructions on use for the penis extender you’re interested in. Visit YouTube and other searches for penis extenders and the manufacturers name, to see what’s been posted on video sites regarding how to use the extender. You may discover things to be on the lookout for.

4. How Does the Penis Extender Adjust for Proper Fit?

Regretfully, this key piece of information is difficult to determine, from most penis extender web sites I’ve seen. However, this is an important aspect to consider.

Generally speaking, one fastens into an extender and adjusts it, to place tension or pull on the penis. It is the stretching process that facilitate penis enlargement. But how much pull do you use?

Some extenders have “calibrated” springs and lines inscribed, to indicate the force being used to apply the stretch. One has lines for 600 gm, 1200 gm, 1800 gm. Others have different gram values.
Note:
600 gm = 1lb 5.16 oz
1200 gm = 2lb 10.32 oz

Some extenders only give a sample schedule to “add X mm every two weeks.” Or adjust to some other criteria, based on comfort, length, or some combination thereof. Think about when you’ll change these adjustments. Will you need to build up and adapt? Depending upon which design you choose, there are going to be aspects you will need to deal with. This is where your forum members can help.

5. Money Back Guarantee

Money back guarantees for penis extenders are out there. Google around to see if you can find who lives up to their guarantees and who does not. Does the seller/manufacturer have a warranty period if a part breaks? This is where the price variance for extenders come into play. Sometimes the cheapest extender isn’t always the least expensive, in the long run.

When I put my toe in the water, and bought an “Internet special,” I could not get long enough to get fastened in. I actually had to take parts out of it to make it shorter. It was not fun. There were no instructions. It hurt for awhile to wear it, but I was determined. Later, I bought a more expensive extender with many more options.

6. Use the PE Forums

Seek out the advice and reviews from your fellow PEGym.com members. Find out which penis extenders they’ve used, what they liked and what they didn’t like. Hopefully this will save you some heartbreak, headaches, and regrets of not having done your homework.

The most important article for any man looking to improve the size and hardness of his penis. Follow your “PIs,” and you’ll gain more, you’ll gain quicker, and you’ll exercise safer.

So what are the PIs? After reading accounts of those who have had good growth, as well personal experiences of growth and loss of progress, it has become apparent that there are Physiologic Indicators (PIs’) that can guide you while you’re exercising your penis.

A breakdown of the Physiological Indicators

PIs (Physiological Indicators) are the observable physical responses of your penis to the forces applied in penile exercising. Anyone who has done any PE has seen these, yet most don’t use them for the invaluable information that they offer. I break them down into Negative PIs, Positive PIs and Neutral PIs.

NEGATIVE PIs meaning that when you see these, it is a sign that you are over training your unit, and you need to cut back the amount of force/time applied.

POSITIVE PIs means that it is an excellent indicator that you are NOT over training your unit, and probably improving it.

NEUTRAL PIs are neither obviously positive or negative. They must be INTERPRETED in relation to other definite Positive or Negative PIs. They are referred to as neutral, because at times, they may be a positive indicator, and other times, a negative indicator.  Whether these Neutral PIs are positive or negative for YOU…will only become obvious when other DEFINITE Positive or Negative PIs begin to show.

Lets start with some definite Negative PIs

• Pain in the penis
• Decreased night and morning wood
• Decreased hardness of erections
• Numbness
• Discoloration
• Loss of size ( persisting more than a day)

Now for the definite Positive PIs;

• Larger flaccid hang lasting all day
• Increased night and morning wood
• Increased hardness of erections
• Easier to achieve erections
• Increase of normal size
• Increased horniness

And the Neutral PIs:

• Temporary penis contraction after a PE workout
• Redness
• Spotting
• Slight achiness in your penis
• Increased size temporarily, a few minutes to a couple hours
• Edema (fluid build up; swelling) in the penis skin

Of all the PIs, size gain or loss is the bottom line! Size loss or gain will give you the final word on whether you are being effective or not.

Putting the PIs in Use

Lets say a beginner starts with a simple routine; a 5 minutes warm-up followed by 5 minutes jelqing. When he is done, he notices his unit is slightly larger, reddish and hangs fuller for a few minutes followed by some contraction. Later on he finds that he has increased night and morning wood.

Together this is a good picture, the increased night and morning wood indicate that the other Neutral PIs can be interpreted as Positive PIs. At that point, it would be sensible for this beginner to continue this routine and measure himself about once every one to two weeks. If after two weeks, all the PIs are the same, yet he has made no gains, he should increase his force and or time of PE.

Why? Because there are no PIs indicating over-training (Negative PIs), therefore his lack of growth is due to UNDER TRAINING.  In this scenario, it would probably be smart for him to increase his jelq time to 10 minutes. This he should stay with, watching his PIs for indications of Negatives.

Growth for most of us is a slim margin between too much and too little.

So going back to our Newbie, so he ups his jelqs to 10 minutes, and still has no Negative PIs. This indicates that he is still not into over training – a good thing. Let’s say, after 2 weeks he re-measures and has 1/4 inch growth. This of course is the ultimate Positive PI, and he should STAY with his routine until he stops growing. Then, and only then would increased force/time be called for.

Let’s take a different scenario

John Q Dickpuller has read the latest technique of hanging a bowling ball off his dick and decides to give it a try. First thing he notices is after the work out, his unit turtles up on him (Neutral PI). Later on he sees that morning and night wood is gone (Negative PI). Finally, when he measures in about a week, he sees he has lost a half inch in length. This bottom line Negative PI indicator tells him he is way into over training!

The turtling, interpreted in light of the loss of size and loss of night and morning wood, is a Negative PI for him. John now knows that that contraction of his penis immediately after his workout is an early indicator of over training his unit.

He lays off completely and waits for his normal nite and morning wood to return, which it does in about one week. This is a good indicator that he has recovered from the excessive trauma and is ready get back in the game.

John now tries again, this time with a tennis ball. He sees that after his workout he gets slight shrinkage, that only lasts for 30 minutes. He finds his nite and morning wood improves, and after 2 weeks sees that he is starting to gain size.

John now knows that contraction for 30 minutes or less, is an early Positive PI for him, and keeps that in mind whenever he makes any changes to his routine.

Lets use a third, more complex scenario

Mr B. Dog finds that if he whacks his dick with a hammer, it turns purple, and shrinks up for a week. And he loses his erections completely. Wisely, he decides to leave it completely alone for 4 weeks.

Slowly his nite and morning erections return, his flaccid hang is now longer than before. He find whens he is fully recovered, he has gained a half inch in length and and inch in girth.

Here we have a definite Negative PI and a Neutral PI, but interpreted in the light of the final PI (that is, gains), we can say that for Dog, a shrunken and purple penis is a positive indicator of future growth for him, if he takes the time to fully recover.

Recovery is determined by return of definite Positive PIs.

Last scenario

S. Knucklehead decided to try pumping. He is making slow and steady gains. His night and morning wood is excellent, the best in years. He also finds that his day time flaccid hang is longer than ever and fluffed out most of the day.

Mr. K knows from this experience that a longer, fluffed flaccid is a Positive PI for him that he is “in the zone”. Mr. Knucklehead decides to supercharge his pumping session by doing it while clamped. This technique not only feels great, it causes his dick to swell to all time new size with no lymphatic fluid (during the PE)!

Knucklehead gets so enthusiastic that he does it for 5 sessions in one day! That night Mr K. finds his wood is gone, as well as the mornings. He also finds that his penis is hanging shorter and more contracted. He measures himself over the next week and finds that he has lost a full one half inch.

So even though he found that his unit was huge during the pumping, the resulting definite Negative PI’s indicated that it was more trauma than his unit could handle.

Mr. K. learned that a swollen dick during PE could be a definite Negative PI for him!  Mr. K took a week off and waited for night and morning wood, as well as normal flaccid hang to return to normal (Positive PIs).

Mr. K restarted his program, but with 5-10 minutes of clamped pumping. He carefully watched his PIs for indications of over training before adding any force/time.

The bottom line: your penis has definite responses to the forces you use on it.

Learn to read the Positives and Negatives, and interpret the Neutrals.

Using these as guidelines for your workout, you will have a much better chance at dialing in the amount of force/time needed for you to achieve growth.

I stumbled across PE looking for solutions to my weak erections.

Q: What started you on the path of penis enlargement?

I was 43 when I started PE. I stumbled across it looking for solutions to my weak erections. I was a smoker for over 25 years, had up and down weight problems most of my adult life, and it had all taken its toll on my body.

I spent a year trying to begin to improve my health. I lost 55 pounds, stopped smoking and became more active. During this time, I was fortunate to be reunited with my college sweetheart – “the one who got away” for each of us – and we fell madly in love.

I wanted to be sure we had a very loving physical side of our relationship, for the rest of our lives. As time went along, and my weight loss increased, my erection quality was suffering more and more. (I believe this was due to overall muscle mass loss on my body.) It never resulted in full erectile dysfunction, but I was headed that direction and wasn’t going to allow it, I wanted to be all I could be for my sweetheart.

I stumbled upon the PEGym, read everything I could, learned what successful PEers had done, and what unsuccessful PEers had done. I learned what leads to injury and decided to cautiously move forward with Remek’s beginners routine.

It’s now been two and a half months and I get erections like when I was a teenager. My girl has noticed the difference and comments regularly. She doesn’t know I am doing the exercises yet, but I’m not going to be able to hide the gains from her much longer. I’ve already gained an inch in length and over 1/4″ in girth. She definitely is starting to think something is up. Ive also received comments about my bulge and flaccid hang. It’s a nice visual stimulation for her.

My confidence is as strong as my erections now. I used to always worry that maybe today would be the day I finally reached ED failure, but now, even on a bad day, I’m twice as good as my best days before.

Q: When you were a beginner, what were the challenges you came across and how did you overcome them?

I really didn’t have any challenges when I started. I took it slow and focused, in the beginning, on developing proper form and technique with the exercises. I did pick up small tips and tricks with things – like what lube to use, talc powder for better grip during stretches, things along those lines. However, as a relative newbie, I haven’t reached any plateaus. Also, because I learned quickly how to listen to my body, I haven’t encountered any injuries. In fact, I’ve been cautious to the point where I only exercise one day on and one day off, less than half of most people doing PE. When looked at that way, I’ve fixed my EQ and made all my gains in less than 40 sessions!

Q: Which exercises have you used – which are your favorites/did you cut any from your routine?

I’ve used basic wet jelq and directional stretching. I’ve increased pressure of my jelqs gradually and increased time of stretches to 45 seconds, which is still a very light routine. I also do Minuteman’s kegel routine; I just completed the first month. I also randomly do JAI stretches but very sporadically.

Q: Do you use any supplements? If so, what?

I don’t take supplements.

Q: What do you know now about penis enlargement that you wish you had known when you started?

The main thing I wish I had known — Why didn’t I learn about this twenty years ago?

Q: What are your penis enlargement end goals?

I never really had any other goal than to improve my EQ, and I’ve already attained that. I set an arbitrary goal, never expecting to actually reach it, especially because I’ve taken such a minimal approach to my PE, of gaining that “extra inch” every guy seems to want. The only size I was hoping to “add” was to regain the 1/4″ in both length and girth I’d lost over the years. Now that all those goals have been reached I will simply keep growing until it begins to negatively affect our physical relationship. I will continue to do some form of PE for the rest of my life to keep my penis healthy and functioning though.

Encourage your penis to grow; don’t force it.

Q: Any other advice you’d like to share with beginning PE’ers?

Learn first. In the grand scheme of things, waiting an extra week to begin PE means nothing. Educate yourself to know you are starting off safely and effectively. There is nothing worse than spending three months and gaining nothing, only to find out after the fact that you have been doing something wrong the whole time (or worse, injuring yourself).

One jelq with proper form is worth ten with bad form. In the beginning, mastering technique should be your primary focus. Patience. PE cannot be forced or rushed; injuries can last a lifetime. Goals can wait.

Rest. Growth doesn’t come about from the exercise itself; the exercises prepare your body for growth. Gains happen during rest days, not exercise days. Take it easy; less is more.

You should encourage your penis to grow, not force it. Gains occur while balancing the fine line between overtraining and undertraining.

In this Ask the Experts section, AJ “Big Al” Alfaro answers questions and comments about the order of exercises, the challenges of quitting porn, waning EQ, and more.

Exercise order is important to maximize your gains.

Q. Does it make a big difference if you girth exercise...

...before jelqing? Or, would it be more beneficial to do it afterwards?

Big Al: Exercise order is important. When they're done in the correct order, exercises accentuate each other. Here's a summary of the order and the description of what each aspect of training accomplishes:

• Warm up- imparts blood flow and heats up (softens) tissues in preparation for safer, more efficient training
• Girth work- more blood flow and concentrated tissue expansion, also helps to stretch the tunica (making length work more productive)
• Length work- to target the penis (tunica, corpora, corpus, etc. as well as the suspensory and fundiform ligs)
• Stamina work (the feeder portion of the workout where massive amounts of blood are sent to the genitals for heat, further stretching, and recovery in the removal of built up toxins like lactic acid
• Warm down- maintains tissue expansion, further promotes blood flow and removal of built up toxins

Girth exercises are usually done before length exercises as doing girth work immediately after intense stretches may be difficult.

Comment: I did go over your article and some of it was really eye-opening,...

...but I think it ended too quickly. You went right into the PE stuff and didn't completely address the challenges of quitting porn.

Big Al: Your honest review is most appreciated The addiction angle can in itself consume several articles worth of writing, and the issue can be complex - depending on the individuals' depth of involvement. The porn addiction section was meant to be both a summary and an "entry level" instruction guide for dealing with the habit.

Some men can kick the habit without too much of a problem, especially if they have an active support system. In cases where there is severe addiction, the damage can be so great that psychological or some other type of professional, outside support will be required.

It's vital to note that there is no shame in admitting you need help when you aren't able to fully help yourself. In cases where you have a coach to help you, attention would be individualized to cater to your specific needs. One truly needs to find it within themselves to figure out WHY they have these strong feelings of being unable to kick the habit.

Merely stopping porn may not resolve what's likely a deeper insecurity and would just cause you to transfer your dependence on stimuli to something else. At the root of it, in most cases, is a lack of self confidence and a feeling of helplessness. In more severe cases, there is a tendency towards shame and self-destruction. The following article on the above subject may be of interest to you: http://www.pegym.com/articles/detraining-effect-understanding-reversing-negative-habits-improve-erection-quality-sexual-confidence-part-1

There’s a balancing act between required levels of activity and recuperative abilities to maintain EQ.

Comment: My morning EQ is around a 7-8,...

...but during starts and stops and usually sex it is 9-10. I just wanted to achieve my rock hard erection first thing in the morning as well. My sexual confidence is high besides one occurrence the other night.

This may sound strange, but the last two weeks I had not had sex or masturbated much. I was less horny, and my EQ started to wane. On weeks where I have sex 2-3 times a week, there is never any problems with any of this, even with a solid training routine. I am starting to feel "if you don't use it, you lose it" type of thing.

Big Al: There is a sort of balancing act between required levels of activity and recuperative abilities. For example, when one is usually at the tail end of a training cycle, they may experience slightly lower levels of EQ, due to the combined cumulative effects of training and the increased levels of intensity/volume of their routine. That's the reason behind why you're instructed to take a layoff after a training cycle, so that you not only experience recovery, but a rebound effect which should leave you with greater EQ and size.

Logging these details can be important, because they can show you the patterns of WHERE in your training cycle these issues start to occur. This will allow you to further refine your training for maximum recovery and gains. That being said, if you're nowhere near being fatigued, yet you take excessive rest, you can start to experience a detraining effect.

A weekly suggested routine, starts weeks 1 and 2 with 3 days of training.

Q. Could i have a format of specific days...

... that I should do the work outs, instead of just 3 times a week? I feel like I can stay more on track this way.

Big Al: The standard format for the beginner routine is as follows:

• Warm up
• Jelqs
• Oriental Massage
• Kegels
• Stop and Starts
• Warm down

The optimal format for recovery for the beginner routine is as follows (sample):

Weeks 1 & 2:

• Monday: Train
• Tuesday: Rest
• Wednesday:Train
• Thursday: Rest
• Friday: Train
• Saturday & Sunday: Rest

Weeks 3 & 4:

• Monday: Train
• Tuesday: Train
• Wednesday: Rest
• Thursday: Train
• Friday: Train
• Saturday & Sunday: Rest

Weeks 5 & 6 (this is where it gets more elaborate and much more challenging):

• Monday Morning: Train (full routine)
• Monday Evening: Train (enlargement portion (Jelqs & OMs) + warm ups and warm downs only)
• Tuesday Morning: Train (full routine)
• Tuesday Evening: Train (enlargement portion (Jelqs & OMs) + warm ups and warm downs only)
• Wednesday Morning: Train (enlargement portion (Jelqs & OMs) + warm ups and warm downs only)
• Wednesday Evening: Train (enlargement portion (Jelqs & OMs) + warm ups and warm downs only)
• Thursday Morning: Train (full routine)
• Thursday Evening: Train (enlargement portion (Jelqs & OMs) + warm ups and warm downs only)
• Friday Morning: Train (full routine)
• Friday Evening: Train (enlargement portion (Jelqs & OMs) + warm ups and warm downs only)
• Saturday & Sunday: Rest

Q. I've been able to work up to doing a lot more kegels,...

... but now I keep getting spasms in my PC muscles. I've read on the forums that balancing kegels with reverse kegels helps, but this has only made the soreness worse. What's wrong?

Big Al: Involuntary kegels/muscle contractions (spasms) are a sign of overwork. Contrary to popular belief on the forums, you cannot heal an overstressed muscle by doing exercises that appear to work their antagonists. For one, even when you work a specific muscle group, you almost always end up invariably working the antagonist group.

A good example to observe this effect is the bench press exercise, where the target group is the chest, shoulders, and triceps. During the negative phase of the exercise, the lats, traps, and biceps (antagonists) come heavily into play as stabilizers. An overstressed muscle needs REST. Now the issue of doing antagonist exercises to correct developmental imbalances are sound, but that's assuming you're merely dealing with an imbalance not an overstressed muscle.

Q. I've heard that jelqing with an erection is the way to go for girth,...

... but I'm having a hard time doing it that way. Is it worth it?

Big Al: Actually, training past a 90% erection for exercises like the squeeze, while raising the effectiveness, causes the risk of injury to rise dramatically. GREAT care should be taken when doing squeezes, jelqs, or ULIs above 90% erect. What will help you avoid injury is to take your time with training at high erection levels or when incorporating new techniques. Even if you require a few sessions to get adjusted to a new movement, that's vastly preferable to hurting yourself.

Male enhancement through penis exercising isn’t just a wet dream — it’s a success story shared by thousands of men just like you.  Read on to learn how exercising to enlarge the penis really works, and how you too can build the thicker, longer penis of your fantasies.

Many men are unsure that penis exercise (a) really works, or (b) is worth the time and effort. We’re here to prove, first of all, that it does — and secondly, boy, is it ever! By starting with the basics and continually making time for your penis exercise routine, you too can benefit from time-tested techniques that have led thousands of men to develop harder, longer, thicker, and stronger penises. Why would you want to hold yourself back from being the best you — and the best lover — you can possibly be?

But how does the male enhancement process really work? First we’ll discuss the scientific reasoning behind penis enlargement through exercise, and then we’ll point you — and the penis of your dreams! — toward beginner exercises that will maximize your potential.

PENILE EXERCISE — IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?

In a word, yes! Penile exercises (or exercises that work out the penis) can range from one basic exercise to an advanced workout regimen consisting of multiple exercises. Just as in weight training, beginners should never start out doing advanced exercises. But what are these exercises based upon — haven’t we all heard that the penis isn’t a muscle? Not true — or at least, not completely. First of all, there are pelvic floor muscles at the base of your penis whose strength can greatly impact the quality of your erections and your ability to last longer in bed. Secondly, studies have found that while the penis is not a muscle of the same type as your biceps, triceps, or quads, it is indeed made up of a large proportion of a different type of muscle tissue: smooth muscle. There must be a sufficient proportion of smooth muscle tissue in the penis for healthy erections to occur, and (contrary to what you might expect) this tissue must be able to completely relax in order for the penis to lengthen and enlarge.

So how exactly does penis exercising work? There are a few competing theories surrounding the exact process, but in the words of Rob Michaels penis enlargement expert and author of the book Penis Exercises, “considering the fact that penile exercising makes erections stronger, harder, and longer-lasting, it would make sense that penile exercising either creates more smooth muscle cells or causes the smooth muscle cells to grow.” Either way causes penis growth. Stretches may also elongate the connective tissue layers (known as the tunica), allowing further growth. And this growth is exactly what our forum members are talking about:

PENIS ENLARGEMENT — FROM DREAM TO REALITY

In the words of our forum member Big Girtha, “There is an obsession sweeping this country. In fact, it has become much bigger than that. This [penis enlargement] hysteria knows no bounds; it is in the heart of all men in every walk of life on every continent of the world. I call it The Dream.” Compare exercising the penis to exercising the body. Some men may not be entirely happy with their penis length or girth, feeling like the body they were born with is not the one they would have chosen. Others merely want to become better lovers, to feel stronger, to recover from mild erectile dysfunction, or to last longer in bed. There are as many reasons to exercise the penis as there are men.

GROWING YOUR ROUTINE

Now that we’ve got you raring to go, let’s pause for a warning about taking it slowly! Let’s pretend you were bench pressing for the first time. You wouldn’t start out benching 300 lbs, unless you were looking for a reason to go to the emergency room. Instead, you would start out light and then gradually work your way up to 300 pounds. Exercising the penis requires the same thought: steadily build your workout time and intensity. Moreover, in the beginning, less is more. Building your routine up slowly and consistently will lead to growth. However, your results may be slowed if you try to progress faster than your body will allow.

WHERE TO BEGIN

On this site you will find a variety of advanced exercises that will allow for great ways to increase the intensity of your workouts. However, for the first few weeks to months you’ll want to stick with the basic exercises that we also cover: the Kegel, the Jelq, and the Basic Stretch. If you are exercising your penis for health reasons, such as curing mild erectile dysfunction, then kegeling, jelqing, and stretching will often do the trick.

GROWTH IN NO TIME?

According to AJ “Big Al” Alfaro, personal trainer and Male Enhancement Coach, “People talk about being pressed for time. Take 20 minutes a day to devote to penis exercises. Are you willing to set aside a few minutes a day for building a bigger and harder penis?”

In this article, Ronnie Rokk discusses five steps to making good progress along your penis enlargement journey. He begins by discussing penis size preference, followed by how to know if you’re making progress in penis enlargement. He then unveils the five steps to making good penis enlargement progress through testing.

What Penis Size Is the Right Size and How Do We Achieve It?

*note: I don’t know exactly how many girls were asked this questions and what their race was, so I can’t confirm the accuracy of this chart. However, from my experience, a lot of women have said the ideal size is 8″ X 6″, but this does not pertain to all women out there. On this chart it shows 8 X 6.25 is Ideal among other sizes in this range.

THE AUTHENTIC WOMEN’S PENIS SIZE PREFERENCE CHART

SOURCE: http://www.blameitonthevoices.com/2007/12/womens-penis-size-preference-chart.html

Across the board, beyond races, nationalities and age, the average male penis size is between 5.5″ and 6″ in length erect.

This graph shows women’s responses to various penis sizes. It demonstrates that a “bigger” penis is not “better” in the absolute sense. However, what it does support is penis size is relevant.

When asked if they “fake” orgasm, a whopping 50% of women surveyed admit to doing it. When we look at where the “average” size fits on this graph, we can guess why women “fake it.” Our size range is simply incompatible. Regarding girth, if the fingers touch when holding the penis in one’s hand, it is considered on the narrow side. For perspective, a mere can of Red Bull is 7″ in circumference. A regular soda can is close to 8″. It’s not a surprise so many men are looking for penis enlargement solutions!

How Do We Know We Are Making  Penis Enlargement Progress?

Obviously, the best way to make sure you’re making progress toward your penis enlargement goals is to measure. But, how often should we measure? Once a day? Every week?  Every 2 weeks?

The correct answer is — once a month.

This would be the most efficient way to measure, because it allows our body time to show penis enlargement progress, if it has gained any growth at all. It is important to remember it does not matter if it is a small gain are a large gain. The most important thing to look for is you are gaining, and you know how to track where your gains are coming from. So, how do we keep track of our penis enlargement gains? Here are the steps to making good progress!

To maximize your penis enlargement training, use methodical testing.

5 Steps to Making Good Penis Enlargement Progress by Testing

If you want to make good progress toward your penis enlargement goals, you need to employe some methodical testing. This way, you’ll know what works best for your body, allowing you to exercises more efficiently and effectively.  Here are the five secrets:

1. Measure and write down the amount of girth and length you have to start with.
2. Only test 1 of the exercises at a time over a 1 month period. (Example: jelqing, hand stretching, using the jelq device, using the penis extender, clamping, pumping, etc.)
3. Write down your results over that given month for the exercise you choose. (Beginners should try basic JELQING and HAND STRETCHING first.)
4. Examine which techniques you used to gain either more girth and length with that particular exercises and write down what you did daily.
5. If you are gaining, keep using the same techniques until you plateau (stop gaining) If you want to try adding a 2nd exercise, make sure you test that one for 1 month by itself, so you can see what you gain, before adding them together. In this way, you know which exercise is giving which result.

After adding in another exercises or device to your current working program, make sure you keep writing everything down and follow the 5 steps all over again.

Maximize Your Penis Enlargement Progress

Following are tips to maximize your penis enlargement progress.

• Always measure and take notes, including the dates. Don’t expect yourself to remember. Write it down in a notebook dedicated to your penis enlargement goals or create a text document or spreadsheet on your computer.See Articles here on how to measure correctly to get the most accurate results.
• Take pictures with a ruler, to have proof of your penis enlargement gains.
• Use a calendar to track your penis enlargement workouts and keep yourself on track.
• Track everything! The type of penis enlargement exercise, how many reps you performed, the length of each repetition, how long you exercised for, etc.
• If you’re seeing penis enlargement gains, don’t change a thing until you plateau (stop seeing gains).
• If you feel pain, stop and rest! Do not make the mistake of hurting yourself. Always be careful and read the forums for the safest way to do all penis enlargement exercises, before you jump into them.

Good luck and remember to keep your member safe. Take care of him when working toward your penis enlargement goals, and he will take care of you in return.

Following are some of the most common questions we get here at PEGym.com about jelqing. If you have others, post them in the comments below, and we’ll do a follow-up post featuring your question!

Jelqing or Jelquing – Which is it? And, How Do You Pronounce It?

If you’re like most people, when you were in school, you had a teacher that drilled into your head — A U always follows a Q. Here’s one of those exceptions your grammar school teacher didn’t share with you — it’s jelqing, not jelquing. Pronunciation is pretty simple –  GEL-king — with the hard Q sound, like a K.

The term jelqing is sometimes believed to derive from “milking” because of the similar motion.

Where Did Jelqing Originate?

Jelqing is believed to have been developed in the ancient Middle East. The term is debated. Some believe it’s from the close sounding word “milking.” Given the visual similarity between the exercising and milking a cow, the jelqing/milking relationship seems possible. Others believe jelqing is a corruption of the term “jerking-off,” again, thanks to the visual similarity between jelqing and masturbation.  However the term came about, the process has been used successfully for more than a millenia, by men who want a larger penis.

The OK-grip is used in the jelqing stroke.

How Do You Perform the Jelqing Exercise?

The basics include using an OK-grip and slowly stroking up the penis. We have lots of resources on PEGym to show you how to perform the jelqing exercise. Please review them before trying to jelq. These include:

• How to Jelq – A step-by-step instructional post all beginners should read before starting jelqing.
• Jelq & Jelqing – Another great instructional post.
• Jelqing Video – Video instructions for basic jelqing.
• Dry Jelq – Instructional video on  how to perform a dry jelq.
• Mini Jelq – Video instructions for mini jelqs.
• One-Handed Jelq – Instructional video on performing the one-handed jelq.
• R’s Jelq Routine – This is an instructional video on a special, more intense form of jelqing.
• Side Jelq – A step-by-step instructional video for how to perform side jelqing.

Is Jelqing Safe?

Jelqing is safe, if you take some basic precautions. These include:

• Warm up before each jelqing session.
• NEVER jelq on a fully erect penis. Jelqing should only be performed on a semi-erect penis.
• Don’t overdo it. You may be eager to see results from jelqing, but pushing yourself beyond your physical limits can lead to injury, which will only set your penis enlargement goals back.
• Start off slowly. Don’t try to do too many reps too soon.
• If you experience any pain or discomfort – STOP! Give yourself time to rest and recover before proceeding with jelqing again.

Does Jelqing Really Work?

Yes!  Jelqing really does work! It’s not a fast process — anyone promising you rapid results through jelqs is misleading. However, with time and a consistent jelqing routine, you can increase both length and girth!

Jelqing works based on the same principle you use to build your muscles. By moving the jelq grip up the shaft, your blood–and the nutrients within it–is forced throughout your semi-erect penis. The jelq motion builds pressure in the penis and its smooth muscle, blood vessels and other tissues.  Over time, the stress of the jelqing pressure causes the penis to expand and enlarge – similar to how putting stress on your muscles causes them to become stronger and harder.

This beginning penis enlargement workout is designed to maximize your growth within your first five weeks of penile exercise.

IN THE BEGINNING, LESS IS MORE

There are countless penis enlargement routines floating around on the internet, from beginner routines to the highly advanced, and from sensible penis exercises to over-rigorous, potentially dangerous ones. We have found this routine to be the safest and healthiest starting point for your male enhancement gains.

Before you jump into any advanced penile exercises (such as bends, squeezes, clamping, etc), use the following routine for at least five weeks. This beginning penis enlargement exercise routine is designed to maximize your gains.

Going beyond the following routine too early often has the opposite effect of your goal — and sometimes can even cause temporary erectile dysfunction due to over-training.

THE BEGINNER’S PENIS ENLARGEMENT EXERCISE ROUTINE

During your first week performing penis enlargement exercises, take two days off between each workout.  Thereafter, do the following routine every other day:

• 10 minutes of penis warm-up
• 6 minutes of basic stretching
• 10 minutes of jelqing (Remember to jelq in three second strokes.)

Also do:

• Your Kegels at least three days a week, during your penis enlargement exercise workout.  Move up according to the suggested Kegel routine.

ADVANCING YOUR PENIS ENLARGEMENT ROUTINE

• For steady growth, you’ll have to continually increase the intensity of your workout.  Accordingly, over five weeks time, move up to 25 minutes of jelqing and 10 minutes of stretching. This move up should be gradual.
• As you move up and start modifying your routine, don’t forget to be deliberate about the order in which you do your exercises. Many men stretch first because it elasticizes the tissues in the penis, getting them ready to expand outward for gains in length and girth.
• Before you move up in intensity, read sparkyx’s article: Physiological Indicators (PIs) to Help Growth!. It will allow you to maximize your gains, and dramatically reduce your chance of any over-training injury occurring.
• Eventually, it’s important to find the penis enlargement exercise routine that works the best for you. Remember that less is more in the beginning, but if you’re not seeing or feeling any change after five or more weeks, you may want to change your workout up a little.

MORE PENIS ENLARGEMENT ROUTINES

Here are a few more penis enlargement exercise routines to choose from. Remember, as you move forward toward finding the routine that works best for you, that each exercise can also be done separately. All of the routines in this article just serve as examples as to how you should typically organize your exercise schedule.

1. A lighter beginner penis exercise routine: The alternative beginner routine, by babbis. Use this routine if you’re starting penile exercising with weak erections, if you don’t have a lot of time, or if you have sex or masturbate less than once a week.
2. A more intense beginner penis enlargement routine: Here’s another alternative beginner routine, by JonPop.  We don’t necessarily suggest this routine to most new guys as it’s intense and some men already over-train with the traditional beginner’s routine listed here. That said, if after trying the traditional beginner’s routine for a few weeks you find that your erections are strong and your PIs are healthy, you can use this routine to increase the intensity.
3. More advanced and beginner routines. You can find 8 different beginner and advanced routines in Exercising the Penis.
4. Other possibilities: To see what routines other men have tried, check out our penis forum.

Like all tissue, the penis adapts, so even if you have a period of success with a great routine that you love, you may eventually need to explore adding to it or adapting it to ensure that you keep gaining.

THE FINAL WORD

As you become disciplined about working out your penis, don’t forget the rest of your body. According to Big Al, “By losing just 20 pounds of fat, you may increase the visible length of your penis by up to an inch.” Penis enhancement exercises are a great complement to a traditional exercise routine. Imagine being longer, thicker, stronger, harder, and with a toned body to match, all at once!

Trying to enlarge your penis too quickly can be unhealthy and even dangerous.  Instead, build your penis enlargement routine slowly to maximize your gains.

ONE LAST THING ON PENIS ENLARGEMENT…

There you have it. Our Beginner’s Guide penis enlargement articles have covered everything you need to know to start working toward your desired penis size and hardness. You didn’t even have to use your credit card.

An important final word about moving up in time and intensity: increasing the intensity of your workouts is essential to gaining. However, the worst thing you can do is rush into building a penis bigger than your grandmother’s Thanksgiving turkey.

Wanting a bigger penis is perfectly normal for a man, but obsessing over it is unhealthy and even dangerous.

WE’RE NOT JOKING, LESS IS MORE FOR BEGINNERS FOR PENIS ENLARGEMENT

Before you speed through the advanced penis enlargement exercises quicker than Britney Spears speeds through boyfriends, you should realize that less is more (yes, again!), especially in the beginning. So, slow down there, Mr. Schwarzenegger.

The penis is man’s true best friend! Treat your best friend with the respect he deserves. Don’t overwork him. Relax and give him adequate rest in between workouts — the gains will come in time.

If you move up too quickly, you are liable to do more harm than good.

When exercising the penis, you’ll want to steadily increase the time and intensity. This increase in your penis enlargement exercise routine should be gradual.

To do this, approach penile enlargement exercising as you would approach running long distances. If you’ve never run more than a few miles, you wouldn’t attempt running a marathon — you would hurt yourself. In most cases, you would begin running just a few miles and, over time, train your body to run long distances. Exercising the penis follows the same concept: start out light and work your way up. This will help you avoid injury and maximize your gains.

Moreover, start out your penis enlargement exercise routine with a set schedule, and move up accordingly. Adjust yourself to your needs. If you are gaining, there is no rush to add more time; if you are not gaining, then try slowly increasing the time and intensity of your workouts.  That being said, the beginner’s routine is a guideline; it does not have to be followed with exact precision.
