It's not difficult for most men to understand why they should not ejaculate when performing an enlargement routine. While some exercises are performed when the penis is flaccid, the majority require an erect or semi-erect state to be effective. If you reach orgasm during a routine your penis will (usually) go limp and affect your ability to continue.

For many programs there is also a "3 hour window" where it is recommended that you abstain from ejaculation. While this suggested time period varies from one program to the next, the majority (if not all) agree that ejaculating prior to, and following a workout, must be avoided.

The main reason for this rule is to prevent the penile tissues from becoming exhausted. If you ejaculate too soon before a session, the penis will not be energetic enough to perform many of the strenuous routines. This will hinder the effectiveness of advanced techniques, such as girth-work, which require a consistently high level of erection.

Abstaining from ejaculation after a penis workout is also important for proper healing and recovery. Following the "warm-down" at the end of a routine, the penis is often highly engorged with blood and extremely sensitive. The blood flowing within the penis nourishes the tissues and allows the healing and repairing process to continue. Ejaculating too soon afterward will prematurely stop the increased blood flow and rapidly dissipate the stored energy. In essence, recovery will take place in a less than desirable state.

That being said, I do not subscribe to a philosophy that sacrifices personal happiness for the sake of maximizing gains. If you are in a sexual relationship you have an obligation to your partner and abstaining from sex for extended periods of time may not be possible. A shorter time frame, such as 30-60 minutes before and after your workouts, is much more feasible for most.

Ultimately the reason for practicing natural penis enlargement is to improve the overall sexual experience for both partners. Denying yourself the pleasure that comes from great sex is not, in my opinion, a fair trade for somewhat faster penis growth.

Penis Jelqing Methods

Jelqing is an enlargement technique that uses a milking action to improve the flow of blood to the penis and increase the total capacity of the erectile tissues (called the corpus cavernosa) to hold more blood. It is performed using an 'ok' grip with either one or both hands and is ultimately designed to stretch and drive more blood towards the tip of the penis.

Jelq Safety Tips:

• This exercise should be done while the penis is in a semi-erect state. It will not be effective if done in the fully erect state and can cause skin irritation if done while the penis is flaccid.
• Do no squeeze the penis too tightly or the flow of blood will be interrupted.
• It is often recommended to alternate hands while performing this exercise so as not to exhaust your grip.
• Lubricants or oils can be used to help reduce friction and avoid skin irritation.
• Avoid over-exercising. Most programs suggest performing exercises no longer than 10 to 15 minutes each day to avoid excessive stress to the erectile tissues.

Penis Stretching

Penis stretching techniques are primarily geared towards increasing the shaft length and working the suspensory ligaments. While some people use weights to perform the stretch, it is far safer and equally as effective to simply use your hands.

Stretching Safety Tips:

• This method should only performed while the penis is in it's flaccid (soft) state. Attempting to stretch the penis while it is erect can result in irritation or even damage to the penis.
• Do not overstretch. There are limits to the flexibility of the suspensory ligaments, and while this will increase over time and with practice, it is always advisable to stay within your normal physical tolerance; if you feel pain you are overdoing it.
• As with Jelqing, it is always recommended to not over-exercise your penis and limit your routine to no more than 15 minutes.

Kegel Exercises

Kegels are designed to exercise the PC (pubococcygeus) muscle in men and helps to prolong intercourse by improving ejaculation control. They involve performing contractions of the PC muscle which can be done in quick or longer repetitions.

Kegel Safety Tips:

• In order for this exercise to be effective, make sure you are exercising the correct muscle. The PC muscle can be identified as the muscle that contracts when urination is stopped in mid-stream.
• Do not over-perform this technique. Approximately 10 sets per day of this exercise (varying in contraction duration) is advisable.

Following the previous safety guidelines will ensure that you do not over-stress your penis and allows you to achieve the best results. As always, it is advisable to follow a penis exercise program provided by an authoritative source and make sure to follow the program guidelines exactly as they are presented.

Since ejaculatory control is not innate in men but rather learned through practice and repetition, the fact is that most men will experience premature ejaculation at least once in their lifetime. A consistent recurrence of this condition, however, is not something to be dismissed lightly given the serious effect it can have on male confidence and emotional well being. Men who have experienced premature ejaculation in the past often look towards new sexual activities with apprehension and dread. This can lead to an endless cycle of depression, humiliation and despair.

The roots of premature ejaculation lie in both the physical and the psychological condition. Studies have shown that 90 percent or more of men who suffer from this condition have inherited it from parents or grandparents with a history of the dysfunction. On the physical level, this is a condition associated with a faster than normal neurological response in the pelvic muscles. Psychologically speaking, premature ejaculation is often the result of stress, depression, unrealistic expectations, or simply a general lack of confidence.

Two of the main causes of premature ejaculation are inexperience in sexual relations and a weakened pubococcygeus (PC) muscle. While a lack of experience can be addressed by simply having more sex, training of the PC muscle involves some knowledge and a little work. Fortunately this muscle, which acts as the floor to the entire pelvic area of the body and supports the weight of the organs, can be trained and controlled just like any other muscle in the body.

Exercising the PC muscle is a way of gaining control over ejaculation and is an excellent way to treat and even prevent premature ejaculation. Some penis exercises such as Kegels (also called PC Flexes) are designed to specifically train this muscle and teach ejaculation control. More advanced and effective exercises can be learned from a professional penis exercise program such as the one offered by PenisHealth™ – see "Premature ejaculation – Penis exercises to prolong your sexual performance."

While premature ejaculation is a serious condition that many men experience, it is something that can be corrected. All you need is a little confidence in yourself and some practical knowledge to make this unfortunate condition a thing of the past.

So what are Kegel exercises and how can they help to prevent premature ejaculation? If you've never heard of these types of exercises before then you should learn a brief history of their origin. The first evidence of people performing specific exercises to strengthen the sexual organs dates back to the Taoist practitioners of ancient China. These holy men used a set of exercises which were meant to condition various muscles in order to promote health, spiritual development, longevity and better sex.

Much more recently, some of these exercises which targeted the pubococcygeus muscle were made popular by a Doctor named Arnold Kegel. In today's modern society this group of exercises is now commonly called Kegels. Kegels are really just exercises that work to strengthen and tone the pubococcygeus muscle by using clenching and unclenching motions. Some of the benefits of toning this muscle include gaining control over erections and ejaculation, increasing blood flow to the penis, keeping the prostate in check in old age and preventing incontinence.

The pubococcygeus muscle (PC muscle) can easily be identified as the muscle used to stop the flow of urination. If you've ever tried to stop urinating in mid-stream, then you know instinctively which muscles must be tensed to close the urethra and keep the bladder from emptying. For men, the PC muscle can be located by clenching the pelvic floor muscles which will make the penis bob up and down. It's usually easier to observe this when the penis is erect since the movement is more pronounced. The muscle itself is located between the scrotum and the anus and it's considered part of the pelvic floor which support the internal organs.

As mentioned above, one of the main benefits that men receive from exercising the pubococcygeus muscle is the vastly increased control over ejaculation. Just as the PC muscle can stop the flow of urine, a strong and well toned pubococcygeus muscle can also control the flow of semen. By training this muscle a man can learn greater control over his orgasm and stop premature ejaculation from occurring.

While performing Kegel exercises is an excellent practice for men, they are not a quick solution. It may take up to several months before you can learn to effectively train your PC muscle. Nonetheless, learning to properly exercise these muscles is a highly beneficial and excellent way to increase overall health.

If you'd like to learn more about Kegels and exercises that are specifically designed to combat premature ejaculation, then I recommend taking a look at the PenisHealth exercise program. Not only will you learn to strengthen and control your orgasm, but you can also find many other exercises designed to increase both erection hardness and penis size naturally.

The majority of premature ejaculation sufferers are young men who usually have less control over their bodies and less experience with sexual encounters. While nearly every man has at times found himself unable to control his ejaculation, it is most likely to happen during his first sexual encounter where his lack of experience makes it almost impossible to hold back. For a great many men however, premature ejaculation can be very severe and will not go away on its own but persists well into adulthood. This problem tends to not only affect the physical condition but has psychological repercussions as well, often creating low self esteem issues and triggering depression.

Although one root cause of premature ejaculation is clearly a lack of experience, other contributing factors include a weak PC muscle and a faster than usual neurological response in the pelvic muscles. All of these causes can be remedied however. Inexperience can be cured with, well more sex! The muscles located in the pelvic area can also be trained to stop acting on their own just like any other muscle in the body can be trained. The PC muscle (pubococcygeus muscle) is the floor to the entire pelvic region and provides the bottom support for all the organs. It is also responsible for controlling ejaculation. By performing specific exercises (called PC Flexes), this muscle can be trained and strengthened to help men achieve control over their orgasms.

When full control over this muscle is achieved, premature ejaculation is no longer a problem. Many penis exercises such as Kegels and Flexes focus on ejaculation control at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. A good natural enlargement program like PenisHealth contains many such exercises for just this purpose. The key to ending premature ejaculation is really to have confidence in yourself and in your strength to overcome it.
