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.

So Called "External Penis Enlargement"

Those who support this manner of division often cite 3 popular "external" methods; Extender Devices, Vacuum Pumps and Penis Exercises.

Penis Extender Devices

Penis extenders function on a principal similar to that used in orthopedic surgery. By applying traction force (stretching / tension) to the penis, the cells within begin to divide and multiply under direct stimulation. The resulting increase in tissue mass is reflected in a size increase in both thickness and length.

Penis Pumps

Penis pumps work by creating a vacuum around the penis which causes the tissues to expand and blood flow to accelerate. This results in a temporary increase in the size of the penis.

Penis Exercises

Stretching and massaging the penis through a series of targeted exercises is yet another form of penis enlargement. The main difference between this method and those mentioned above is that penis exercises require manual stimulation and make no use of external equipment.

"Internal Penis Enlargement"

On the other end of the spectrum we have what some would call "internal" penis enlargement. This consists primarily of penis enhancement pills and patches.

Enhancement Supplements

Penis enhancing supplements are generally formulated from herbal extracts and various other natural ingredients. They are designed to improve erection hardness and boost sexual stamina by increasing blood flow to the genitals. While the majority of supplements come in capsule or tablet form, there are some products such as penis patches which work by administering the dosage through the skin directly into the blood stream. Most reputable distributors supply a penis exercise program to be used in conjunction with the supplement in order to achieve maximum results.

Is There Really A Distinction?

One could argue that the first 3 methods adhere to an "external" method of enlargement since they each require physical interaction with the penis. This reasoning however is somewhat dismissive of the actual internal mechanisms at work. With the exception of penis pumps that only produce short-lived results, these treatments actually impact growth at the cellular level. In my mind this qualifies as internal penis enlargement as much as external.

Similarly, the supposed "internal" classification of penis pills and patches neglects to mention the actual external stimulation required for such systems to be effective. These supplements can improve penile functioning and performance but true growth will not occur without some form of physical manipulation. As I mentioned previously, this is the reason why most "enhancement" products are coupled with penis exercise routines. They may certainly enhance your gains but taken by themselves they will not produce much in the way of permanent enlargement.

I do realize that this information may be somewhat inconsequential to those men interested in penis enlargement. Most men are only concerned with the end results and not the particular vehicle chosen to achieve that end. As long as it works right?

While I generally echo that sentiment, I still feel it's important to clearly understand the methodologies behind the practice of penis enlargement. There's too much misinformation online and it's essential that we keep the facts straight.

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.

Firstly, anyone interested in making their penis larger should know that it takes both effort and patience to be successful. Naturally, no one wants to hear that it may take weeks and perhaps months before you see results. It's certainly difficult to remain motivated when day after day you are working towards a goal and the only thing you have to show for your effort is a slightly sore penis.

In reality this is no different then going to the gym on a regular basis and working out. The "no pain, no gain" factor comes in to play and can only be viewed as a positive improvement. With this in mind, persistence in the efforts to enlarge your penis will pay off and results will come in time. The delicate tissues that the penis is comprised of require time to expand and most people will experience both growth spurts and plateaus.

Probably the most difficult time when starting penis enlargement is at the very beginning. Many beginners wrongly believe that one workout session a day is not enough and start to add additional daily sessions. Unfortunately this will only exhaust the tissues and gains will not come quicker. Penis enlargement is based on intensity and regularity, which is why performing a routine more than once per day is not as effective as doing it once, but very intensely. The penile tissues need time to recover and grow in size and over training will only hamper that.

One problem that many beginners will notice is that pubic hair often gets in the way of both enlargement exercises and the use of penis extenders. Not only is pulling the hair out intensely painful, but it can also prevent men from getting a good grip on the base of the penis shaft when doing some exercises. The best thing to do to avoid this is to trim the hair short or even shave it altogether. Keep in mind that while shaving your penis may seem radical, you can always grow it back anytime you choose to.

Another problem that men experience, specifically with enlargement exercises, is gaining control over their penis. Some exercises require that a partial erection is maintained and this may not be easy to accomplish as many men will find themselves becoming fully erect. The only way to deal with this problem is to try to focus on something that doesn't involve sex.

Finally, while the temptation may be great, you should try not to measure your penis too often. Frequent measuring is unlikely to show significant gains and can undermine your motivation.

The natural process of modifying one of the most important extremities on the male body is not for everyone and certainly not to be taken lightly. Penis enlargement is a way of life and there is no point in rushing it. If you are committed to change then you can and will accomplish your goal. Only those with true dedication, commitment and the will to persevere will ultimately reap the rewards.

Re: things that happened after i stopped exercising my penis

i started doing exercises on my penis for about 2 weeks. i did regular stretches that lasted 30 seconds. i used the v-stretch and bundle stretches a few times. I also jelqed. i gained about half a inch in those 2 weeks. after i stopped for about a week i noticed it was going back down to the size it was before i started the exercises. i was wondering why this happened. i heard if you over do the exercises something like this would happen. i think i over did it with the jelqing.

- George

Hi George,

I don't believe that you over did it, instead I feel that you didn't give it enough time. Penis exercises are a very specialized form of exercise. You are training a part of the body that most men don't so it does take some extra effort.

To be honest with you, 2 weeks is not a very long time to be practicing these exercises. If you stop your training too soon then you are likely to lose the gains you have made. After your body becomes more accustomed to the exercises it will have better retention and you will find that you do not lose the extra size you created.

Another thing that helps is to use supplements during your training. I'm not sure if you were just doing exercises or whether you were taking any herbals along with it, but I always recommend using a combination of the two. Quality supplements help to increase blood flow to the region which keeps the penis in a more active state. This means that you are stimulating your penis even while you are not exercising it and can help to solidify any gains that you make. My first choice for supplements is ProSolution – you can read more about them here:

http://www.penis-resources.com/top_rated_penis_enlargement_pills.html

Again, even while using special pills like ProSolution you will still need to be patient and give it time. After a few months of training you will find that your gains are more consistent and you will not lose them so rapidly. If you remain focused and dedicated, you will be able to reach and maintain the size you want.

Thanks for contacting me George and I wish you the best!

Penis Blisters

Blisters can form on the penis as a result of using too much pressure when performing an exercise. While some penis exercises do require a certain amount of applied pressure, this should never be enough to cause the skin to blister. If blisters begin to form you should stop your exercises for a few days and give your penis time to heal. Once it has completely healed you can continue your training but be sure to reduce the amount of pressure used in your routine.

Bruised Penis

Broken capillaries in the penis causing slight bruising may also be seen when too much pressure or force is used during an exercise. Again, give your penis time to recuperate and make sure to lessen the amount of force used when you resume your training.

Penis Sores

Sores that develop on the penis from exercising are usually the result of over stretching. In most instances they form because the penis has been stretched too far or held in an extended position for too long a period of time. Discontinuing exercises for a few days and reducing the amount of stretch performed when doing these techniques will prevent this from happening in the future.

Cuts and Scratches

Scratch wounds on the penis often occur as a result of poorly groomed fingernails. Since most penis exercises require the penis to be held and manipulated, it is vitally important to keep your fingernails trimmed and short to avoid scratching the skin.

Chaffed Skin

Chaffing is an irritation of the skin that is the direct result of friction. Since a certain amount of rubbing is necessary while doing exercises, it is often helpful to use a lubricant such as baby oil when performing penis exercises that generate a large amount of friction.

The conditions noted above are some of the most common side effects experienced when proper safety measures are not followed. They can be avoided if you make sure not to over do the exercising and give the penis enough time to rest. A minimum of two full days of recuperation a week is recommended. You can also save yourself a lot of trouble by choosing an exercise program from a trusted authority who provides 24/7 support and guidance.

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.

Not only is this offering the first of it's kind for penis enlargement programs, it also means that men can learn everything they need to enlarge their penis at any time and at any place without even the need for an Internet connection.

Lativio's decision to make their program available on DVD was based on their commitment to providing the most complete penis enlargement exercise program available to men. Because PenisHealth™ was previously only an online-based system, Internet access was necessary to view their workout information. Those with slower dial-up connections often had to cope with slow-loading streaming videos presentations.

By making their program available on DVD, Internet bandwidth is no longer a factor and larger videos with higher quality footage is now possible. Customers now have immediate access to each exercise and aren't left waiting for web pages to finish loading. In fact, having their entire program on DVD completely removes the need for Internet access and allows men to keep up with their training no matter where they might be.

Another reason for their decision was to address privacy concerns of users. Since web browsers automatically store a list of visited web pages, many men were uncomfortable with the risk of having their browsing history exposed and needed a way to keep their training routines private and secure.

One of the reasons why PenisHealth™ is rated the top natural penis enlargement program is because it contains both unique and comprehensive information. Where most other programs only provide photo and text guides, PenisHealth™ is complete with pictures and text guides as well as video demonstrations of every exercise. This allows users to actually see how the penis exercises should be performed and leaves out any guessing about how certain complex movements are meant to be done. Basically it teaches you exactly how and what you should be doing in an easy to understand format.

PenisHealth™ has always offered the most complete natural penis enlargement program. Now that it is available on DVD, their penis workout program is open to more men and can be learned anywhere and at anytime!

If bandwidth and privacy issues aren't your concern, you still of course have the option of joining their online program instead of purchasing the DVD. However, if slow loading Internet connections and clearing your browser's history every time you visit their website are problems you'd like to avoid, then using the DVD just might be the solution you have been waiting for.

Get Exercise Regularly

Exercising regularly will keep the heart and blood vessels healthy. If your cardiovascular system is in poor condition it becomes more and more difficult to get an erection since blood does not flow properly to the penis. It has been shown that men who get regular cardiovascular exercise can delay the onset of erection problems for up to ten years or more.

Quit Smoking

Smoking is arguably the single worst thing you can do to your body. Since it serves to constrict blood vessels and effects blood pressure, smoking contributes greatly to erectile dysfunction problems.

Eat Healthier Foods

Eating foods like fruits and vegetables, consuming less red meat and getting adequate amounts of healthy oils in your diet helps to lower your cholesterol and keep your blood vessels in good shape. Healthy blood vessels are not only responsible for delivering blood to the penis, they also provide the nitric oxide necessary for penile tissues to relax and accept the blood.

While these lifestyle changes are an excellent method to help fix erectile dysfunction, sometimes alone they are not enough to prevent it from happening. If you already eat well, exercise and do not smoke yet still experience erection problems you may want to add some penis exercises to your routine.

Kegel exercises for instance are an excellent means to increase overall penis health. These exercises can be found in most quality penis exercise programs and studies have shown them to be just as effective as Viagra at producing stronger erections.

By incorporating a penis enhancement program into your lifestyle, men can effectively increase the size of their penis while improving erection strength, quality and orgasm intensity.

There are several natural methods available to men depending upon their requirements and goals. A list of some of the best rated solutions can be found on the Top Rated Penis Enhancement Products page.
