Masturbation Is For Pleasure, Penis Exercises Are Not

The first significant difference between masturbation and penis exercises lies in the actual intended purpose of both. Masturbating is done for the sole reason of bringing pleasure. Although there's absolutely nothing wrong with making yourself feel good, the intent is not to make your penis larger.

Penis exercises on the other hand are specifically designed to increase the length and thickness of the penis. When performed correctly these targeted stretching and massaging techniques will promote growth. The stimulation that occurs, however, is not meant to generate pleasure.

Radically Different Techniques

Male masturbation generally involves some form of stroking action applied to the erect penis. Most men have their own unique style which reflects whatever they find most pleasurable. For instance some men prefer to stimulate the frenulum, the area located at the top of the penis directly below the glans (head). Others may find that sliding the hand along the entire shaft in a back and forth motion brings the most pleasure. Regardless of the specific masturbation approach used, none of these techniques supply the type of stimulation necessary to achieve penis growth.

Flaccid/Erect States

The primary difference between exercising and masturbating the penis has to do with the penile state. The majority of penis exercises are done while flaccid (soft) unlike masturbation which is usually performed when the penis is erect. When you masturbate, the penis becomes engorged with blood and therefore any form of manipulation will only affect the overlying skin that covers the shaft.

In the case of exercises, the entire penis can be physically stretched since it remains in a soft (or sometimes semi-rigid) state. Without this elongating action the penile tissues are not fully subjected to the stimulation necessary to achieve growth. The exercises that do require an erection, such as those that work the pubococcygeus muscle, involve no manual contact with the penis whatsoever. This obviously doesn't match the definition of masturbation at all.

Types of Stimulation

Another thing that separates masturbating from exercising involves the actual application of stimulation. Most men who masturbate generally use short and fast strokes. This simulates having sex and therefore produces the greatest amount of pleasure.

To the contrary, penis exercises are done slowly and often require a prolonged duration of stretch. For example, some techniques require that the penis be fully outstretched and then held in that position for several seconds. This is actually an abbreviated method of penile traction seen used by penis enlargement devices.

Energy Conservation

The final important distinction between masturbating and exercising the penis lies in the completion of each activity. The end of a masturbation session usually culminates in ejaculation. Although an otherwise healthy process, ejaculating does not benefit penis enhancement since it involves a huge loss of energy. This is why you may notice a drained feeling after you reach orgasm.

When you exercise the penis you are usually taught to wait a specified period of time before engaging in sexual activities and achieving climax. This is because you need to allow the penis time to rest and recuperate from the stresses applied during training. The energy generated from proper stimulation of the penis must be conserved and allowed to rejuvenate the sensitive tissues. This is what enables the penile cells to recover, grow and multiply.

As you can see, there are many differences between the act of masturbation and exercising the penis. Both are healthy practices that any man can enjoy but it's important to understand that each are entirely unique. If you desire sexual pleasure then masturbating is one available route. To actually enlarge the penis with manual stimulation, the techniques provided by an effective penis exercise routine are far more suitable.

The primary reason for performing this exercise is to learn how to better control the body's natural impulses. Anyone with sexual experience knows just how difficult it can be to resist the temptation to orgasm. This is especially true for men who suffer from premature ejaculation. Practicing this technique allows men to recognize "the point of no return" and overcome their normal impulses.

Although the actual physical technique varies from one practitioner to the next, the concept is fairly straightforward. You begin by stroking the penis as you normally might during a masturbation session. After a period of time you will find yourself becoming more aroused and eventually you will reach a point where you feel that you are about to ejaculate. Just prior to actual ejaculation you should stop masturbating until the overwhelming desire has subsided. After a short period of time you begin the cycle again.

If you've never tried this technique before, your first few attempts may fail. Even stopping stimulation completely may not prevent the orgasm from occurring. With time and practice however, you should be able to mentally prevent ejaculation while still maintaining contact with the penis. This may require an adjustment in the speed or strength of your stroke. Another method is to grasp and squeeze the base of the penis just prior to ejaculation.

In addition to increasing control, this practice also helps to heighten the eventual orgasm. Each time you prevent ejaculation from happening your body continues to produce and store more semen. The strength of your ejaculation and volume of your ejaculate when you finally release will be noticeably increased. As there is a greater amount of semen to expel, the duration of the orgasm will also be lengthened.

While not considered to be an enlargement exercise per se, edging can be used in conjunction with specific penis stretches for added benefit. Jelqing in particular uses a "milking" motion that lends itself well to this sort of method. Keep in mind, all penis enlargement exercises require that ejaculation be avoided therefore extra care must be taken when combining techniques.

Overall, edging is a fantastic way to get in touch with both the psychological and physical processes that control your body. Through practice you will gain more control over your ejaculation and ultimately enhance the sexual experience.
