Q. How do I know my enlargement exercises are having an effect? I see a good pump after my workouts but is this enough?

Both my conditioning and erection quality are very good so I can train at a high rate of volume and intensity.

Al: A post-training “pump” is a good sign you’re on the right path.

ALL enlargement exercises require hitting a “sweet spot” between not enough and too much. In the case of conditioned trainers such as yourself, you can train intensely without incurring negative symptoms- but what happens when you go overboard is a toughening response- as opposed to the desired flexibility.

For assessing length, using BPFSL before AND after your sessions. If you’re noting a 1/2″ increase or better in the post-training measure, you’re on the right track. Anything under 1/4″ elongation is a sign you’re either not getting enough stimulation, or (from heavy sessions) too much.

You can do the same with girth exercises, but halve the figures given above.

Q. Is it OK for me to perform the stamina portion of my training at a later time?

Al: If you have scheduling issues and aren’t able to perform all of your training in one sitting, then splitting your workouts is better than missing the session altogether- though it’s not an optimal scenario.

A well designed routine will be set up so that each exercise cascades into the next one. The stamina exercises are great on their own, but when you’ve pre-stretched the tissues with enlargement specific exercises the stamina exercises in and of themselves become effective ENLARGEMENT exercises.

Q. You mention a 60 minute rule for edging requirements.

There are some weeks where I’m sexually active more than others. How would this work then?

Al: The BEST form of stamina training is live, vigorous sexual activity. It surpasses any form of manual training for obvious reasons. The only instance where it would be recommended for you to perform manual edging (Stop and Starts) instead of live activity is if you don’t feel ready for sexual contact.

The “60 Minute Rule” applies to your estimated level of vigorous sexual activity. In essence, if you’re getting 60+ minutes of said activities then you’re fulfilling all of your edging requirements for the week. Less than this, and you can make up for the balance with manual edging. (www.magiklights.com)

Q. I would like to ask your opinion on sunflower lecithin.

It can increase cum? Also any supporting supplements need to go with it?

Al: Sunflower based lecithin should work well. Go for the granules over the capsules as it’s better economically. Take 1 tbsp each day until you achieve a good consistency- then you can maintain on 3-4 tbsp per week.

Make sure you’re well hydrated to maximize the effect.

Also make sure that you’re getting in adequate levels of zinc. If you take a daily zinc tab, take it with protein of some sort.

If you’re following a healthy diet then the above would be sufficient for maintaining optimal function.

Q. I have a problem. When I want to get an erection for my workouts or sex there’s no challenge but when I want to measure my penis doesn’t get a full hard up because I get nervous.

What can I do to fix this?

Al: Learning to relax by using Emotional Visualizations will help you to train your mind to encourage the desired emotional backdrop for your measures.

You might consider “surprise” measuring when it’s time. To do this, make sure you have your measuring implements available within easy reach. When you’re training or otherwise involved in activities where you have a maximum erection- stoop- then immediately measure before you have a chance to think much. This should allow you to bypass any associated anxiety.

An alternative is to measure BPFSL (Bone Pressed Flaccid Stretched Length). This measure is usually within 1/2 inch +/- BPEL (Bone Pressed Erect Length), and is considered a good predictor of immediate future length gains.

Q. What’s a good rate of increase for reps on my exercises?

Al: The amount of reps you add for an exercise with depend on a couple of factors: the amount of reps you’re currently performing and the exercise itself.

For most movements, you’ll start off at a relatively low rep count. For example, the Squeeze: 5 reps as per the Jelq Free Routine instructions. From there, you’d add 1 rep per session. You can keep this pace up until you hit the 20 rep mark, and from there you may begin to add 2 reps per session. This is because the rate of increase reflects a proportion of the whole.

Some exercises like jelqs and Side to Side stretches lend themselves to somewhat greater increases per session due to their ease of adaptability, but you’ll need to use indicators like how you feel after a session as well as your EQ to ensure you’re not adding too much (or too little).

Savage Love: Do men lose penis size as they age?

Savage Love: Do men lose penis size as they age?

By Dan Savage

This article is a repost which originally appeared on DETROIT METRO TIMES

I’m an otherwise healthy male of 54. When I was a teen, my cock measured about six-and-a-half inches. Not small, not huge, pretty average. I never kept track of the situation down south, but suddenly I find my junk reports in just over four inches. WTF? Is this normal? Do men lose size/girth as they age? (Ambien online) I’m only 54! How much more do I have to lose before 60? And beyond? I’m single now and suddenly I’m afraid to be intimate with women I formerly would have embraced without a second thought out of embarrassment. My confidence is at an all-time low. I’m actually afraid to ask anyone out for fear of “exposing” the evidence. I assume there are no pills for this, but please tell me there are options.

—Shrinking In Seattle

“We have to make a distinction between observed penile length and actual penile length,” says Dr. Ashley Winter, a board-certified urologist in Portland, Oregon. “Penis length changes in real time based on a number of factors, factors that include level of arousal, stress, and ambient temperature. For this reason, researchers like to limit variability by measuring the ‘stretched flaccid length’ in a warm room.”

Needless to say, most men aren’t observing — much less measuring — their dicks when they’re soft.

“We know that almost ZERO home dick measurements are done in the flaccid state,” says Dr. Winter. “But unless SIS jotted down the room temp or precise level of arousal when he measured his teenage penis, it’s unlikely he’s comparing apples to apples. Another issue — and a far less appreciated one — is that the penis is anchored to the undersurface of your pelvic bones, so nearly one-half of the average penis length is ‘hidden’ along the undersurface of the pelvis.”

There’s a very special tendon — the suspensory ligament — that runs from the base of your penis to your pelvis. In addition to providing you with some degree of control when you’re erect, SIS, the suspensory ligament also holds some of your dick up and inside the body. Men who want their cocks to look larger when they’re soft and who don’t mind if their hard cocks are harder to control or flop around during intercourse will sometimes have this suspensory ligament cut, which causes the penis to “drop.” Their cocks aren’t as useful for sex, it’s true, but there’s more “observable” cock for other men to admire in locker rooms and at urinals.

“The most dramatic cause of lost ‘observed’ penile length with aging is weight gain,” says Dr. Winter. “As the average guy gains weight, more of his fixed penile length gets hidden, as the crucial sit-bone-to-skin distance gets longer.”

So your dick may not be any smaller than it was in your teens, SIS; it’s just that more of it may be hidden inside your now-middle-aged body thanks to weight gain and that damn ligament.

But hey, let’s say you’re no thicker today than you were in your teens and that your arousal levels are constant and that you’ve kept your apartment at a constant temperature over the decades. Could something be causing your cock to actually shrink?

“The main causes of actual penis shrinkage are having your prostate removed, Peyronie’s disease (plaque development that narrows or bends the penis), or the scarring of erectile tissue, something called corporal fibrosis,” Dr. Winter says. “SIS would know if he’d had prostate surgery, and he would have a noticeable ‘lump’ or change in erection shape if he had Peyronie’s. So the main concern here is corporal fibrosis. It can be insidious and is usually associated with conditions that make blood vessels unhealthy — like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. SIS says he’s healthy, but the penis is often the first body part to manifest signs of the above conditions because it is so dynamic. Which means the penis, wonderfully and tragically, is often the ‘canary in the coal mine’ for cardiovascular health.”

Let’s say your canary is shrinking, SIS. What can you do about it?

“First and foremost, he should realize that far less women would care about his penis length than he does,” says Dr. Winter. “Studies including 52,000 individuals showed that 85 percent of women were satisfied with their partners’ penile length, while only 55 percent of men were satisfied with their own length.”

And unlike you, SIS, the women you sleep with today aren’t going to be comparing the dick you’ve got now with the dick you had (or thought you had) then.

“But if SIS wants to maximize his ‘observed’ penile length, he should shed extra weight — if he’s overweight — and should also check in with his doc for a test of his cholesterol, blood pressure, and a diabetes screen,” says Dr. Winter. “Regular erections do help keep the penis healthy, so if he has some ED, a Viagra (or similar med) can preserve length.”

To add to the above, one can increase their penis size by performing specific exercises- such as those outlined in PEGym.com
