The 3 Best Penis Exercises for Girth

When you hear “penis enlargement” most people immediately think of increasing penis length. However, most men don’t just want a longer penis – they want a thicker penis.

Here are our top 3 best penis exercises for increasing your penis’s girth!

#1 Penis Exercise for Girth: The Compressor

As the name implies, the Compressor uses compression to get girth expansion width-wise on the penis. Small bends are made along the penile shaft, in this penis exercise, to increase girth. Check out these resources for full details on how to properly do the Compressor:

#2 Penis Exercise for Girth: Horse Squeeze

The Horse Squeeze is a unique, two-handed version of the jelq. This penis exercise fills the penis with blood to expand the girth. Check out how to do the Horse Squeeze, complete with video instructions, here:

Missouri State Professor Looking for Volunteers for Penis Size Survey

alicia walker missouri state university penis size survey

What is the average penis size?

It’s a question we get time and time again, here on PEGym. We know there have been lots of previous studies. PEGym even did a survey of their members — READ THE RESULTS HERE. But, most surveys are self-reported, or are so small in size of participants, so the results have always been a little suspect.

Dr. Alicia Walker, of Missourit State University, wants to change that.

She and her research assistant are looking for at least 3,600 men to fill out their online survey and submit pictures of their penis, while measuring length and girth – flaccid and erect.

“We are not recruiting locally. I don’t want there to be anything dicey,” Dr. Walker said, adding she didn’t want colleagues, friends and neighbors to feel pressure to participate. “You don’t want there to be anything awkward.”

Walker, hired by Missouri State in 2016, said a man’s size can change his self-image and trigger depression and body dysmorphic disorder. “It’s serious. Some of them actually attempted suicide.”

“I’ve spoken to men who have been suicidal because of their anxiety and unhappiness with their size or perceived size,” Walker told the NY Post. “Men that haven’t been to the doctor in more than a decade or are not using a condom because they’re convinced they can’t get one that fit them.”

This unhappiness, depression and sometimes desperation is something we see on the PEGym forums daily.

“We need to be talking about men’s body dysmorphia, and the way our society worships size and the way that worship impacts men… It really is incredibly damaging,” she said, according to the Post. “They can’t admit that they feel this. Imagine carrying around all this anxiety about your body and then imagine you can’t even tell your friends?”

If you’d like to assist Dr. Walker, you can fill out her survey — HERE.

Hopefully, more scholarly research, on a large scale like this, will help us better understand average penis size and the very real problem of body dysmorphia in men.

Hard Flaccid

The following post is from our resident expert, Big Al, of MaleEnhancementCoach.com. meCoach can not only help you reach your unique male enhancement goals, but can also assist you with sexual health challenges.

What is Hard Flaccid?

There are a few bugbears which seem to afflict men when it comes to performance. One such issue is known as “hard flaccid”. This is when the penis takes on a compressed feel and appearance in the flaccid state due to an extreme voiding of blood from the penis. This phenomenon may affect part
(usually the central shaft) or all of the penis, and is sometimes accompanied by turtling (an extreme retraction of the penis.

It should be understood that hard flaccid (HF) is a symptom and not necessarily a thing unto itself.

How Did I Get Hard Flaccid?

The difficulty in treating longstanding hard flaccid issues is in attempting to establish an etiology. There can be many original causes of hard flaccid-

overtraining,
a strained pelvic floor,
stimulant/drug use or
anxiety.

What makes HF especially pernicious for some men is, while the original cause may have begun via some external mean(s), persistent anxiety can cause HF to remain long after any originating cause has dissipated.

It can be very difficult to not dwell on penile problems, but alleviating the mind of stress is going to be a necessary step towards healing. Not only can immediate stress create HF and other problems like ED, but longstanding/acute stress can negatively impact dopamine levels (making it difficult to get aroused) and even hormone levels.

What Should I Do If I Have Hard Flaccid?

Our recommendations regarding hard flaccid are as follows:

First, attempt to establish the cause. If you know specifically what’s caused the issue then attempt treatment.
.
If the cause is easily resolvable, e.g.- a minor injury, then REST – and leave your penis alone. Don’t “test” your penis frequently as this in and of itself can make the problem worse.
.
If the cause is likely due to stimulant use, stop taking all stimulants, unless prescribed by a physician.
.
Stop dwelling mentally on the problem. This too can cause a vicious cycle of negative thought patterns which will make the situation worse.
.
If the issue is severe and/or persistent, we HIGHLY recommend you seek medical assistance. Don’t spend weeks, months, or even years attempting to figure things out for yourself. When in doubt, always talk to your physician. Oftentimes, only a physical examination can identify the root cause of the issue.
.
Once you feel the issue is resolving itself, you should attempt LIGHT, stamina-focused training to attempt to maximize blood flow.
.
The exception to this is if the HF was caused by pelvic floor strain- in which case you’ll want to avoid Kegel-type movements or anything which might further strain the pelvic. floor. Light pumping or jelqs should be helpful in these types of cases.
.
During the recovery process you can conduct one or more sessions where moist heat and localized massage are used to promote blood flow and speed healing. Structure your sessions so you’re not tempted to overdo/abuse the process, and make sure to limit your massages/soaks to no more than 3 daily sessions to avoid making the issue worse.
.
You may also look towards erector type supplements for maximizing blood flow. Yohimbe, maca, L-Arginine, “5-G” and the like can all be very beneficial during this period. VigRX Plus is an excellent blood flow stimulator supplement.
.
Healing-type supplements like arnica and Butcher’s Broom can also help to speed healing.

NOTE: If you’re new to these supplements, make sure to talk with your physician, to make sure any current medications you are taking do not interact with your supplement. Also, start with the minimum recommended dosage.

If your hard flaccid is caused by pelvic floor weakness then beginning a program like the Hans Protocol can be beneficial. It’s VITAL you ease into the recommended sessions and make sure you come away from your workouts refreshed and not exhausted.
.
If recurring negative thoughts are a problem then learning to still the mind will be very important! When you feel negative thoughts creeping into your mind, visualize yourself stopping their intrusion. Regular meditation, positive self-affirmations and taking a proactive approach to reducing stress can all be very helpful in learning to control and retrain the mind.
.
If you still have challenges with keeping the negative thoughts at bay, talk with a mental health professional. They can help you develop tools to keep anxiety and worry from negatively affecting your life.
.
Don’t over-research hard flaccid. While educating one’s self can be a good thing, there’s so much data on these forums and elsewhere that it’s easy to overload on data and develop a form of hysteria. Clear examples of this can be seen on some of the forum threads. Do your best to focus on resolving the issue and not on dwelling in misery or frustration. Although voicing your fear about the problem can help you get support from other members who’ve had experience with hard flaccid, obsessively posting can take the positive support of a community and turn it into a negative factor. The unwillingness to listen to advice or even attempting to place blame may does little to resolve the actual problem- on the contrary- negative thinking and self-pity is a sure way to allow issues to fester.

We hope you’ll find this article useful. If you have any recommendations or ideas to add to the above list please feel free to add your reply below.

Six Penile Cancer Symptoms You Need to Pay Attention To

Cancer of the penis (penile cancer) is probably one of the least talked about cancer types, but can be just as deadly as other cancers. For this reason, like with all cancers, the sooner you get to a doctor and start treatment, the better. Let’s look at six symptoms you should pay attention to, because they may be warning signs of penile cancer.

A Sore or Growth on the Penis – If you see a sore or wart-like growth on your penis, and it doesn’t heal after a week, it’s time to see a doctor. Although this may be something non-life threatening, it could be a symptom of an STD or penis cancer.
.
Other Changes of the Penile Skin – The skin of the penis is often the first sign of penis cancer, so if you see any changes to your penis’s skin, see your doctor. These include: red, velvety rash, crusty bumps or flat, bluish to brown lumps.
.
Bleeding from the Penis – If you experience bleeding from the penis, this could be a sign of cancer. Or it may be something less severe, such as a urinary tract infection or STD. Either way, it’s definitely a symptom that should be looked at by your doctor immediately.
.
Bleeding from under the Foreskin – This may also be a sign of penile cancer. In addition to bleeding, if there’s a foul-smelling discharge coming from your foreskin, or you find it hard to draw your foreskin back from your glans – see a doctor.
..
Penile Swelling – Swelling at the end of your penis is another symptom that should be looked at by your physician immediately.
.
Groin Area Lumps – If penis cancer spreads, it often first spreads to the lymph glands located in the groin area. This can then often be felt as lumps under the skin. However, swelling of lymph nodes may also mean your body is responding to an infection. Either way, a trip to the doctor is definitely needed.
.

Although penile cancer is not common, any changes in your penis’s health should be cause for your concern. If anything strange appears, see your doctor. It’s better that you go to the doctor and it be nothing, then not go and miss out on early treatment.

9 Benefits of Maca Root & Its Potential Side Effects

Maca root is the root of a plant native to Peru. Scientifically known as Lepidium meyenii, it’s also sometimes known as ‘Peruvian ginseng.’ Maca is actually a cruciferous vegetable – think broccoli, cabbage, kale, or cauliflower, and grows at very high altitudes (above 13,000 feet!) in the Andes mountains.

The root is the edible part of the plant and has been used for generations in both Peruvian cuisine and traditional medicines. Lately, it’s increased in popularity, with claims of improved energy, increased fertility and enhanced sex drive.

What are the Benefits of Maca Root?

Maca root has numerous benefits that has helped popularize it in areas outside of Peru, especially in the form of powdered capsules, as a supplement. These include:

Very Nutritious – Like other cruciferous veggies, maca root has packed with vitamins and minerals. A 1 ounce capsule of maca root powder contains:
— Vitamin C – 133% of RDI
— Vitamin B6 – 15% of RDI
— Copper – 85% of RDI
— Iron – 23% of RDI
— Potassium – 16% of RDI
— Manganese – 10% of RDI
— Protein – 4 grams
.
Increased Libido – A 2010 scientific review of 4 randomized clinical studies found that after 6 weeks of taking maca root, both male and female participants reported increased levels of desire.
.
Increased Male Fertility – A review of 5 studies showed maca improved the semen quality of participants – both those who were healthy and those who were infertile. One study of 9 healthy men found that after consuming maca root for 4 months, participants noted a marked increase in both sperm count and motility.
.
Relieve Menopause Symptoms – As estrogen declines in aging women, menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, vaginal dryness, irritability, and sleep issues can occur. Maca root has been shown to not only help alleviate some of these symptoms, but also studies indicate maca can help protect bone health, possibly preventing osteoporosis in menopausal women.
.
Mood Improvement – Research has shown a positive correlation between maca and mood enhancement. It’s believed that the flavonoids in maca are responsible for this reduction in both depression and anxiety.
.
Improved Physical Performance and Energy – Athletes and bodybuilders use maca to:
— Increase endurance,
— Increase strength,
— Increase muscle mass, and
— Boost energy.
.
UV Protection – When maca extract was applied to the skin, like a salve, research found that it helped protect the skin from UV radiation, protecting the skin from sunburn and damage. Of course, this protection does not occur when maca is eaten.
.
Memory & Learning Improvement – Like ginseng, maca root has been shown to improve memory and learning. This is particularly true for the black variety of maca root.
.
Reduced Prostate Size – Enlarged prostate is a common issue men experience as they age. It can cause several issues, including challenges with urination. Red maca, with its high levels of glucosinolates, has been shown to help reduce the size of the prostate. This is also associated with reducing the risk of prostate cancer.

What are the Side Effects of Maca Root?

Although maca root is generally safe, it’s always important to talk to your physician to make sure you don’t have any conditions that may make it riskier to take or any current medications you are on could interact poorly. Because of the goitrogens in maca, people with thyroid issues shouldn’t take maca, as these can interfere with the normal functioning of your thyroid. Additionally, pregnant or breastfeeding women should also talk with their doctor, as the maca could be passed to the fetus or nursing child.

Difficulty Orgasming as Men Age

It seems like a cruel joke — when guys are young and inexperienced, orgasming too quickly is a big concern. You dream of being able to have sex for hours and are happy when you last more than 20 minutes. (www.freeunlocks.com) However, as men age, and they’re likely in a stable relationship with someone they love, orgasming can become more difficult – to sometimes near impossible. You now long for the days when you could orgasm with a few quick thrusts.

What the heck?!

Trouble Orgasming As Men Get Older

First, know that you’re not alone. Starting around the age 50, many men find they need a lot more penile stimulation to orgasm. Even when you do orgasm, you may find that the orgasm isn’t as powerful as when you were young. Again – a common problem, even if it is disconcerting.

Possible Causes for Trouble Ejaculating When Guys are Over 50

Weak Pelvic Floor – If your pelvic floor muscles are weak your orgasm, instead of being a volcano may be more like a leaky faucet. Because of this, you may not even realize you’ve orgasmed, as a weak ejaculation may not be pleasurable at all.
.
Neurological Conditions (diabetes, paraplegia, multiple sclerosis) – These conditions can damage the nerves that control your orgasm.
.
Alcohol – That beer with dinner every night not only has been associated with erectile dysfunction, but also with trouble orgasming.
.
Drugs – Prescription meds, like antidepressants and blood pressure control, can affect a man’s ability to orgasm. Even over the counter drugs, like Aleve, can have a negative effect on your orgasm.
.
Stress – Stress is both an erection killer and an orgasm killer.
.
Lack of Focus on YOUR Pleasure – As men mature, they begin to really focus on pleasuring their partner. As you get older, and your body needs more stimulation, this lack of focus on what you’re experiencing can make it difficult for you to orgasm.

What Can I Do to Orgasm When I’m Older?

There are several things you can do, to help if you’re having difficulty orgasming.

See a Doctor – Be sure it’s not a physical condition, like diabetes, that’s making it difficult for you to orgasm.
Try Standing – Author, Clive Peters, in his book Exploring Sex, Love and Lust, suggests standing during sex – either with your partner bent over the arm of a couch or like-height piece of furniture, or kneeling on an appropriate height bed. Standing is easier on your knees and back and can make it easier to orgasm, as men age.
Do Kegels – Kegels will help strengthen your pelvic floor.
Stop Drinking – A drink occasionally (think couple of times a month) is usually OK, but if you find yourself having a drink regularly – even once a week – stop. Give your body time to readjust to the alcohol-free state too – think months, not days here.
Consider the Drugs You Take – If you’re taking prescription meds, talk with your doctor about the possibility of the challenge of orgasming being a side effect. Your doctor may have a suggestion, or may suggest a different course of medication.
Tell Your Partner What You Need – Don’t be afraid to tell your partner what stimulation works for you. You may need more significant manual or oral stimulation – that’s OK. Let your partner know this.
Breathe – Deep breathing can help relax your muscles and help you reach orgasm.
Use Lube – Even regular lube can help make your penis more sensitive. You may even try specialty lube – warming or cooling. Even things like your partner having an Altoid in their mouth, as they give you a blowjob can increase sensitivity. However, note, not all men like that warming or cooling sensation – so go easy on it at first.
Stop Stressing – Worrying that you might not orgasm is going to increase your anxiety and stress and make the situation worse. Go into your next sexual situation with the idea that you’re just going to have FUN. If an orgasm happens – bonus – but, if not, you and your partner are going to have a good time being intimate together.
Talk to an Expert – A sex therapist can give you valuable insight into not only the physical, but emotional factors that are playing into the situation, as well as help you and your partner better communicate and develop tools to better your sex life.

The most important thing is to not give up and communicate with your partner. You can get through this!

How Long Did it Take To Reach Your First 1/2-Inch in Penis Enlargement

We have a lot of success stories on the PEGym Forums. One of my favorite threads is the “How long did it take you to gain your first 1/2-inch?” thread.

Why?

Because it really demonstrates how different people are – plus has the added benefit of being motivating for guys just starting their penis enlargement journey.

Win – Win!

Let’s take a look at some of the newest replies from members.

I have been silently working here for almost 2 years. And I went from 6.75 to a little over 8. I experiment randomly with several different methods that are popular here to try to make muscle confusion sort of like sprinting and walking sprinting and walking sprinting and walking. Up from 5.5 girth to 6 girth. It’s not a fast process it’s going to take a while and commitment from anyone. So either way that you think about it you just have to keep pushing forward and you will eventually reach your goal. Basically what I am saying is it is not a Sprint, it is a marathon. The more time you put into it the more results you will get. ~ GapWedge

First half inch took me over 6 months, but that’s because I wasn’t doing it right. After registering here 10 months ago, I’ve gained just over an inch in erect length (total gain 1.6 inches so far) and a full inch in girth. As always, truly appreciate the encouragement and support from some of the regulars here. ~ paardarshie

It took me about 3-4 months… I change up the routine a bit to try and “Confuse” the muscles… I use the extender pro for about 4 hrs a day, jelq for 5-10 mins and hand 3 times a week with a sock hanger with 10 lbs for 10 mins for 3 sets when I have time… I also do some basic stretching.. Warm up is for 5 mins with a heat pack ~ hm42

After consulting my logs (no pun intended), I can see that I gained my first 1/2-inch of length in about 5 months. The specifics of my routine changed frequently in the early months, based on my response to the exercises as I tried to find my “goldilocks zone” for intensity. However, I think the exercises that contributed the most towards my gains were simple stretching and jelqing, and to a lesser extent edging with some ulis thrown in. I’ve never used any PE devices, so I can’t vouch for them personally. Based on the reading I’ve done, I’m sure they have merit if properly used, I just haven’t bothered with them. ~ Sequoia Tree

Thanks, everyone, for your comments! It really shows that everyone has their own unique journey, when it comes to penis enlargement. However, the common theme is with consistency you will get the results you want!

Why Haven’t I Seen the Penis Enlargement Results Everyone Else Has?

If you’ve poked around the PEGym forums, you’ve likely seen the thousands of posts we have from members talking about their success stories. Just start in our Success Forum to get an idea of just some of the posts I’m talking about.

But, despite all of the success stories, we still do get men who struggle with their penis enlargement journey.

Why haven’t I seen the penis enlargement results everyone else has?

It’s a question I get quite often, so let’s take a look at the most common reasons why one man gets awesome penis enlargement results and another man struggles.

Consistency – Consistency is one of the biggest reasons why someone doesn’t get the results they’ve seen others get with penis enlargement. Whether you’re doing manual exercises, using a penis pump like Bathmate, or using an extender like the Phallosan Forte, or a combination of manual and devices, if you are not consistent in your exercise routine, you will not get the results you want, as quickly as possible.
.
Proper Program – If you’re not doing the exercises or using devices best suited for your specific penis enlargement goals, then you’re not going to get the results you want, as quickly as possible.
.
Intensity – I use the analogy of traditional exercises to help people better understand how penis enlargement exercises work – this is one of those times. If you went to the gym, 5 days a week, but only lifted 5 pound weights, you wouldn’t expect to get ripped. Your penis enlargement exercises have to be intense enough to create the microtears needed to facilitate new cellular growth.
.
Frequency – If you aren’t getting the results others have gotten, with penis enlargement, think about your frequency. Are you exercising the proper amount of days per week (remember, rest days are important too!)? Are you doing the proper amount of reps and/or for the proper amount of time?
.
Time – Have you allowed enough time to pass, with the right routine, at the right intensity, and the right consistency, to see measurable results? There is no permanent, instant penis enlargement. Pumps and supplements can give you a temporary size increase, due to increased blood in the penis; but only through repeated, consistent tissue expansion, over a long period of time, can this result become permanent..
.
Your Unique Physiology – Every person is different. Your body’s unique resistance to change is a huge factor in how quickly you will see results, as well as how much of the other factors (intensity, frequency, etc.) you will need for effective and efficient penis enlargement results. I’m a huge fan of the show My 600-pound Life. There were 2 twins who pretty much did everything together – including eating exactly the same thing and did the exact same workout – and even though they were identical twins, they always lost weight at different rates. One twin always lost a couple more pounds than the other. So, even if you followed the exact same program, to a T, your unique physiology is going to make it so you see results faster or slower.

The important thing to remember is if you have #1 through #5 in order, you WILL see the penis enlargement results you want eventually. Don’t get discouraged and soon you’ll be writing your own Success Story!
