The adult penis is an organ formed with a unique cavernous tissue that can fill with blood. The growth of the genitals occurs during adolescence and with the help of hormones it is impossible to start the previous processes of cell development. Penis enlargement exercises mainly affect the size of the corpora cavernosa, as the organ has no muscles. It can only be stretched, untrained.
What Affects Penis Growth?
Genital size is part of the normal genetic variation inherent in human anatomy. Men differ in height, nose length, finger shape and penis length. The average length of the penis is approximately 13 cm.
The presence of the SRY gene, often referred to as the genital region of the Y chromosome, initiates testicular development in utero after the seventh week of conception. The cells that differentiate in the testes begin to produce testosterone, which affects the development of the male's internal and external genitalia.
The second important factor in penis growth is hormones. Testosterone predetermines penile development in the uterus as well. Researchers have found that the fastest time for penis development is the first three months after birth. If during this time the pituitary gland does not signal testosterone synthesis or the androgen receptors are not active, the penis size may be less than average.
An important negative factor is the testicular defect in the early stages of pregnancy. Geneticists have not yet identified a specific gene that affects the size of the genitals.
The anogenital distance (from the anus to the base of the penis) is an indicator of normal masculinization. This indicator depends on dihydrotestosterone, its shortening is associated with the risk of hypospadias and cryptorchidism. Prenatal exposure to dioxins, phthalates, n-butylparaben or bisphenol affects anogenital distance. Women with high phthalates in their urine during pregnancy gave birth to children with short anogenital distance and penile length.
There are two hormones that affect the growth of the genitals:
- Testosterone promotes the growth of the scrotum and penis during the embryonic development stage.
- Dihydrotestosterone helps to form secondary sexual characteristics during puberty, affects the penis, thins scrotal tissue, muscle growth in teenagers.
Dihydrotestosterone is converted from testosterone by the 5-alpha reductase enzyme. Cell receptor sensitivity and androgen levels directly affect penile tissue growth.
Research has shown that women prefer men with a 16cm penis for one-day relationships, and 12cm is enough for long-term relationships.
Based on these measurements, men can feel inferior. The average size of an erect penis is 12. 6 cm Scientists have measured around 15, 000 penises worldwide to get accurate results.
Most women are looking for a bigger penis than what the average man naturally finds. The survey showed that around 20% of women separated from a partner due to their small penis size.
Modern ways to enlarge the penis
Urological surgeons believe that there is no surgery that can enlarge the penis in adolescence or adulthood. The length can be increased by cutting the supporting ligament, which hides part of the penis under the skin. Then it should slowly stretch the organ. In an erect state, the penis will remain the same, but will lose stability due to the broken connection with the pubic bone.
Injections of autologous fat are considered the most common method, but the results of the procedure are unsatisfactory due to necrosis and resorption of fat cells.
Implant insertion is used for erectile dysfunction that is unresponsive to medication. Flexible, mechanical and inflatable prostheses are used.
In the production of used:
- silicone;
- rubber with PTFE rings.
Inflatable devices are two- and three-section with pumps.
In 1936, the surgeon created a functional autologous penile implant for the first time. He used rib cartilage, which was later used by the body as well.
The reason for surgical failures is the inability to create cavernous tissue. The new extended penises with implants will not have a natural erectile function. It is important for parents of a child or adolescent with congenital genital abnormalities to have a realistic view of the very limited progress of surgery. On the Internet, you can find myths that tissue engineering and penis transplantation are within everyone's reach.
The interventions performed to enlarge the penis lead to modest results. Statistics showed that the growth is about 2. 5 cm.
Penis enlargement exercises
There are various exercises aimed at increasing the penis and sexual function:
- strengthen the pelvic floor muscles;
- elongation;
- jelqing;
- improvement of blood circulation.
You should always start with Kegel exercises as a warm-up. The pelvic floor muscles provide support for the genitals.
The description of various penis enlargement exercises and techniques lends itself to reasonable criticism:
- Vacuum pumps are cylinders that draw blood into the corpora cavernosa and slightly increase in size when erect. A tight ring is then placed at the base of the penis to restrict blood flow. Pumps are really necessary for men with erectile dysfunction, but they don't have a consistent effect on penis size. When the ring is removed, the blood enters a large circle. Risks of using the pump include temporary impotence, bruising, damage to blood vessels, discolored and thickened skin. Using the ring for more than 20-30 minutes is dangerous for damaging the tissues of the penis.
- Exercise, by tying the weights, cannot enlarge the penis because it is not made up of muscle tissue. However, some types of stimulation stretch the skin, visually stretching the penis. One of the "ancient Arab" techniques - jelqing - is sold on the Internet and involves daily exercises for 30-60 minutes per day. The time frame is not specified, so the effectiveness is difficult to confirm.
- Penis traction devices sometimes have to be used for up to 8 hours a day. Stretching the skin of the penis does not affect its size when erect. Hanging weights on the penis can lead to tissue lacerations, urgent surgery, and severe pain. As a result of such techniques, the genital organ can be severely damaged.
- Pills, supplements, and creams like yohimbe, ginseng, and Horny Goat Weed have never affected penis size. They only affect the filling of existing tissues with blood.
The use of gonadotropin, growth hormone and testosterone injections in adulthood will not lead to an increase in the reproductive organ. Tissue formation occurs during puberty, when wave oscillations of growth hormone occur.
Benefits and features of exercise
Exercises for the pelvic floor muscles increase orgasmic sensations and increase the duration of intercourse. The musculature stops the flow of urine and also sets the impulse for the release of semen during ejaculation.
Methodology:
- Contract the pelvic floor muscles, as if stopping urination, relax. Repeat to start 20 times. Gradually increase the number of repetitions to 100. The goal is to achieve around 1000 muscle contractions per day in different approaches.
- Block the coccygeal muscle for as long as possible.
- Tighten the pelvic floor muscles in parts from the anus to the pubic bone. Run every second.
- Contract your pelvic floor muscles as slowly as possible. Relax abruptly. Most likely, you will feel a throbbing and a surge of heat in your spine. Breathe deeply and slowly as you exercise.
- Expand your muscles as you urinate to create a jet. This will open the anus.
Each exercise should be repeated at least 10-20 times.
The corpora cavernosa of the penis are able to hold a lot of blood. The longer it lingers in the tissues, the longer and thicker the penis will become during an erection. Jelqing exercises are performed while sitting or standing and resemble regular, rhythmic milking. Hands glide gently from base to head, up to 200 repetitions should be done every day. Approaching ejaculation can be interrupted by a pause until the urge subsides, which will help achieve self-control. If pain appears, rest the organ.
Exercise should not be performed during full erection, which can lead to vascular damage. The penis should be 70% full, without a partial erection the results will not work.
Standard jelqing is done with baby grease or oil. When semi-erect, grasp the base with your index finger and thumb. Move them up to the head, pumping the blood and release them when it is reached. Do 200-300 reps for the first week, increase the second up to 500 times, and then 500 or more for 20 minutes.
The "dry" technique aims to stretch the skin in a similar motion. The fingers slide across the surface towards the head. You can process sections from the base to the center and from the center to the end. Morning erections with high testosterone levels are suitable for dry jelqing.
The third technique is aimed at creating a volumetric head. Blood is drawn in slow motion from the base, hold the position for 10 seconds. It can be combined with tissue compression without causing discomfort. The technique cannot be performed for more than 10 minutes.
Stretching is designed to increase erectile tissue, but its effectiveness is poorly proven.
The exercise is performed while sitting or standing:
- Grasp the relaxed penis by the head, but do not pinch the corpora cavernosa. Stretch as much as possible, but without discomfort or pain. 5 minute delay.
- Release, rotate in a circular motion 30 times to restore normal blood circulation.
- Repeat the first action 4 times, but each time pull the penis in a different direction: left, right, up and down. It is imperative to relax the organ after stretching.
The second stretch is done in the same way, but when maximum painless traction is achieved, it is necessary to completely relax and hold the position for 5 minutes at first, then gradually increase to 20 minutes. Rest for 5-10 minutes before continuing with your workout.
The following exercise combines breathing and stretching:
- Inhale, exhale and send air to the penis through the lower abdomen. With three fingers of your left hand, press on the point between the anus and genitals.
- Resume breathing keeping your fingers on the anogenital junction. With the other hand, extract the penis smoothly and rhythmically 36 times.
- Smooth the skin on the head, get an easy erection. Grasping the base firmly, move your hand 5 cm downwards.
- Extend the penis to the right, making 36 rotational pulling movements in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction. Repeat the same on the left.
The energy of the organs and meridians of the body enters the penis, improving tone and function. After the exercise, tap the erect organ 36 times on the right and left thighs. You can shorten this technique by doing each movement 10 times.
In a semi-erect state, place your index finger and thumb at the base of your penis to slow blood flow and delay arousal. Firmly grasp the head with the other hand. Milking with the hand at the base. The blood will travel through the spongy tissue to the head. Running with a full erection is extremely dangerous.
Rules of execution
The exercises can take too long. The Jelqing research was conducted in the 1970s by Dr. Brian Richards in the UK. About 87% of the men in the test group received positive results: an increase in length of up to 4. 2 cm and a girth of up to 2. 5 cm.
Exercises should be performed every day for 20-30 minutes and, before training, take a warm bath and wrap the organ in a towel soaked in warm water.
Men interested in the jelqing technique should read the detailed instructions, reference information, videos and photographs of the exercises for their own health and safety:
- It is imperative to use a lubricant during the initial exercise to get a good grip on the penis and not the skin.
- Stop immediately when the pain appears. The goal of the technique is non-traumatic tissue traction. The appearance of painful sensations and hematomas indicates a violation of trophism, which has a negative effect on erection.
- Stop exercising if you have an erection. Pause when ejaculation approaches, wait for relaxation.
- The grip of the penis during exercise should not interfere with the blood supply. Redness and blue discoloration of the organ indicate stagnation of blood - loosen grip.
If done correctly and regularly, results will appear within a month. Six months later, the changes will become evident. The workout cannot be stopped.
Some problems with penile volume may be associated with poor function of the bulbous-spongy and sciatic-cavernous muscles, which impede the flow of blood from the erect organ. Their function depends on the pudendal nerve, which can be pinched for various disorders of the lumbosacral region.
