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. You can only stretch, not train.
What affects penis growth?
The size of the genitalia is part of the normal genetic variation inherent in the human anatomy. Men differ in height, nose length, finger shape, and penis length. The average length of the penis is about 13 cm.
The presence of the SRY gene, often referred to as the genital region of the Y chromosome, initiates testicular development in the uterus 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 the development of the penis even in utero. The researchers found that the fastest time for penis development is the first three months after birth. If during this period the pituitary gland does not indicate the synthesis of testosterone or the androgen receptors are not active, the size of the penis may be below average.
An important negative factor is the testicular defect in the early stages of pregnancy. Geneticists have yet to identify a specific gene that affects the size of the genitalia.
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-butyl paraben, or bisphenol affects anogenital distance. Women with elevated levels of phthalates in their urine during pregnancy gave birth to children with a short anogenital distance and penis length.
There are two hormones that affect the growth of the genitals:
- Testosterone promotes growth of the scrotum and penis during the embryonic stage of development.
- Dihydrotestosterone helps form secondary sex characteristics during puberty, affects the penis, thins scrotal tissue, and increases muscle growth in teens.
Dihydrotestosterone is converted from testosterone by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. Cell receptor sensitivity and androgen levels directly affect penile tissue growth.
Research has shown that women prefer men with a 16 cm penis for one-day relationships, and 12 cm is sufficient for long-term relationships.
By these measures, men may feel inferior. The average size of an erect penis is 12. 6 cm. Scientists have measured about 15, 000 penises worldwide to obtain accurate results.
Most women seek a larger penis than the average man naturally finds. The survey showed that about 20% of women separated from their partner due to the small size of the penis.
Modern ways to enlarge the penis.
Urologic 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 is supposed to slowly stretch the organ. In the erect state, the penis will remain the same, but will lose stability due to the broken connection to the pubic bone.
Autologous fat injections are considered the most common method, but the results of the procedure are not satisfactory due to necrosis and reabsorption of fat cells.
Implant insertion is used for erectile dysfunction that does not respond to medication. Flexible, mechanical and inflatable prostheses are used.
In the manufacture of used:
- silicone;
- rubber with PTFE rings.
Inflatable devices are two- and three-section with pumps.
In 1936, the surgeon first created a functional autologous penile implant. He used rib cartilage, which was later also used by the body.
The reason for surgical failures is the inability to create cavernous tissue. Newly extended penises with implants will not have natural erectile function. It is important that the parents of a child or adolescent with congenital genital anomalies have a realistic view of the limited advances in surgery. On the Internet, you can find myths that tissue engineering and penile transplantation are available to everyone.
Operations performed to enlarge the penis lead to modest results. Statistics have shown that the growth is about 2. 5 cm.
Penis enlargement exercises
There are several exercises aimed at increasing the penis and sexual function:
- strengthen the pelvic floor muscles;
- extension;
- jelqing;
- Improved blood circulation.
You should always start with Kegel exercises as a warm-up. The pelvic floor muscles support 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 increase slightly 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 do not have a constant effect on penis size. When the ring is removed, the blood forms a large circle. Risks of using the pump include temporary impotence, bruising, damage to blood vessels, discolored and thickened skin. Wearing the ring for more than 20-30 minutes is dangerous to damage the tissues of the penis.
- Exercise, tying weights, cannot enlarge the penis because it does not consist of muscle tissue. However, some types of stimulation stretch the skin and visually lengthen the penis. One of the "ancient Arab" techniques, jelqing, is sold on the Internet and offers daily exercises of 30 to 60 minutes a day. The term is not specified, so the effectiveness is difficult to confirm.
- Penile traction devices sometimes need to be worn for up to 8 hours a day. Stretching the skin of the penis does not affect its size when it is erect. Hanging weights on the penis can lead to tissue tears, urgent surgery, and severe pain. As a result of such techniques, the genital organ can be seriously damaged.
- Pills, supplements, and creams like yohimbe, ginseng, and Horny Goat Weed have never affected penis size. They only affect the blood filling of existing tissues.
The use of gonadotropin, growth hormone and testosterone injections in adulthood will not lead to an increase in the reproductive organ. Tissue formation occurs at puberty, when growth hormone wave oscillations occur.
Benefits and characteristics of the exercise
Exercises for the pelvic floor muscles increase orgasmic sensations and increase the duration of sexual intercourse. The musculature stops the flow of urine and also establishes the impulse for the release of semen during ejaculation.
Methodology:
- Squeeze your pelvic floor muscles, as if to stop urinating, loosen. Repeat to start 20 times. Gradually increase the number of repetitions to 100. The goal is to achieve about 1000 muscle contractions daily in various approaches.
- Hold onto the coccygeus muscle for as long as you can hold it.
- 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. You will most likely feel a pulsation and heat surge in your spine. Breathe deeply and slowly while you exercise.
- Expand your muscles while urinating to create a stream. This will open the anus.
Each exercise should be repeated at least 10-20 times.
The corpora cavernosa of the penis are capable of holding a lot of blood. The longer it remains in the tissues, the longer and thicker the penis will become during an erection. Jelqing exercises are performed sitting or standing and resemble smooth, rhythmic milking. The hands glide smoothly from the base to the head, up to 200 repetitions daily must be performed. Oncoming ejaculation can be stopped with a pause until the urge wears off, helping to achieve self-control. If pain appears, give the organ a rest.
Exercise should not be done during a full erection, which can lead to vascular damage. The penis must be 70% full, without a partial erection the results will not work.
Standard jelqing is made with baby fat or oil. When semi-erect, grasp the base with your index finger and thumb. Move them towards the head, pumping blood and release them when it is reached. Perform 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. Fingers glide across the surface towards the head. You can work sections from the base to the middle and from the middle to the end. Morning erections with high testosterone levels are suitable for dry jelqing.
The third technique aims to create 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 done sitting or standing:
- Hold the penis relaxed by the head, but do not pinch the corpora cavernosa. Stretch as much as you can, 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 painless maximum traction is reached, you need to fully relax and hold the position for 5 minutes at first, then gradually increase to 20 minutes. Rest for 5-10 minutes before continuing your workout.
The following exercise combines breathing and stretching:
- Inhale, exhale and send air through the lower abdomen to the penis. With three fingers of the left hand, press the point between the anus and the genitals.
- Resume breathing keeping fingers at the anogenital junction. With the other hand, gently and rhythmically pull the penis out 36 times.
- Smooth the skin on the head, achieve an easy erection. Holding the base firmly, move your hand down 5 cm.
- Extend the penis to the right, making 36 rotary pulling movements clockwise and counterclockwise. Repeat the same on the left.
Energy from the body's organs and meridians enters the penis, improving tone and function. After exercise, touch the erect organ on the right and left thighs 36 times. You can shorten this technique by performing each movement 10 times.
In a semi-erect state, place your index finger and thumb at the base of your penis to decrease blood flow and delay arousal. Grasp the head firmly with the other hand. Milking by hand at the base. The blood will travel through the spongy tissue to the head. Acting with a full erection is extremely dangerous.
Execution rules
Exercises can take too long. 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 to 4. 2 cm and a girth of up to 2. 5 cm.
Exercises should be performed daily 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 jelqing should read the detailed instructions, reference information, videos and photos of the exercises for their own health and safety:
- It is imperative to use a lubricant in the initial exercise to get a good grip on the penis and not the skin.
- Stop immediately when pain appears. The goal of the technique is non-traumatic tissue traction. The appearance of painful sensations and bruises indicates a violation of the trophism, which has a negative effect on the erection.
- Stop exercising if you have an erection. Pause when ejaculation approaches, wait for it to relax.
- The grip of the penis during exercise should not interfere with the blood supply. Redness and blue discoloration of the organ indicate stagnation of the blood; loosen grip.
If done correctly and regularly, results will appear within a month. Six months later, the changes will become apparent. Training cannot be stopped.
Some problems with the volume of the penis can be associated with a malfunction of the bulbous-spongy and sciatica-cavernous muscles, which impede the flow of blood from the erect organ. Its function depends on the pudendal nerve, which can be pinched by various disorders of the lumbosacral region.
