The Fundamental Facts You Must Know about Penis Exercises
It’s easy to be sceptical about penis exercise techniques – the amount of rubbish you’ll read online about them is overwhelming. That goes as much for many of the ‘members only’ guides available as it does for the free exercise websites you’ll come across – they’re full of badly explained techniques, ineffective workouts and potentially dangerous exercises.
The reason it’s hard to come across good quality information about exercise techniques is simple. Sites offering free exercises generally give duff advice so that you’ll give up after a couple of weeks and buy a more expensive product. And because commercial guides don’t sell for big bucks, only a handful of companies put the time and effort in to developing really effective programs.
And it’s a real shame, because done correctly, penile exercise is not only entirely safe, but it’s also the least expensive way to effectively enlarge your penis.
What Exercise Involves
As you’ve probably guessed, these techniques involve purely using your hands. But because of the unique structure of your penis (it doesn’t contain muscle in the traditional sense of the word) these exercises are nothing like you’ll have done before.
There are two basic types of penile exercise:
- Exercises that stretch the penile ligaments – which primarily increases penis length.
- Exercises that increase the blood capacity of the penis – which increases girth.
Done properly over a period of 3 – 6 months, these exercises won’t only dramatically increase your penis size, but they’ll also improve your overall sexual health – producing really firm erections, giving you total control over when you ejaculate and vastly improving the intensity of your orgasms.
In fact, no other method of penis enlargement can achieve so much; while at the same time costing you next to nothing - apart from a little time and effort.
The only downsides to penile exercises are that you do have to do them regularly (3 – 5 times a week) and you must follow a well structured routine. It’s just like any other form of exercise – if you put in the effort and keep it up you’ll reap the rewards, but if you’re half hearted in your approach you won’t get any where.
Do They Really Work?
From personal experience I can tell you that penis enlargement exercises are extremely effective at adding some serious size to your favourite organ. But you don’t need to take my word for it; they’ve been clinically proven to work as well.
In the 1970’s, a certain Dr. Brian Richards investigated the effectiveness of one of the first developed exercise routines called the ‘Chartham Method’. Dr. Richards was a well renowned specialist in sexual health and had published numerous books and studies on the subject – so not surprisingly, an exercise routine that claimed to increase penis size was of particular interest to him.
Dr Richards’ medical trials involved 32 men over a three month period. At the end of the three month exercise regime, the study recorded a success rate of 87.5 percent. Although two of the men dropped out of the trial and two didn’t achieve any increases, the other 28 men all made substantial gains ranging from 0.94 to 1.4 inches in erect penis length and 0.55 – 1.2 inches in erect girth. Not bad for three months work!
In the last few years, another medical trial conducted by Synexus & Harrison Clinical Research tested the effectiveness of one of the current leading exercise guides – Penis Health. Involving 50 men, this trial recorded extremely impressive results. After three months of exercise, the participants gained an average of 1.8 inches in erect penis length and 1.6 inches in erect girth. Of course, the results of this trial were better than the results recorded in the 1970’s because the Penis Health program has the advantage of over 30 years of previous research in the field and is at the cutting edge of modern penis exercise techniques.
So yes, done correctly, penis exercise techniques do work.
Safety Concerns
Of course, such exercises involve exerting physical stress on the penile shaft in order to provide the stimulus for growth. If you apply the correct levels of stress at each stage of the training process you’ll experience nothing but positive effects.
The worst ‘injuries’ I experienced through exercise were a little bruising and slight soreness in the first week or so – but it soon disappeared as my penis became accustomed to its new work load.
But it’s like any type of physical exercise, if you do too much, too often or too intensely for what your body can handle, it’s going to result in some form of injury. I’m sure you’ve heard the term, ‘don’t go at it like a bull at a gate’. Just as running a marathon will do more harm than good if you can barely jog around the park, the same is true of penile exercise.
To stay safe you must gradually build up exercise intensity by following a well devised workout routine suitable for your stage of progress. Listen to your body too…if you feel any pain (which you shouldn’t) or your erections aren’t quite as strong, you’ve over trained and you should give it a break for a couple of days.
Done correctly (and I only ever recommend guides that show you how to do it correctly) it would be next to impossible to do any form of damage to your penis and if you did, it would be because you ignored multiple, very noticeable warning signs.
The Gains You’ll Achieve
Like I mentioned above, enlarging your penis through exercise is a gradually process, but it’s also a steady one – so if you’re doing it correctly you’ll always see positive changes that’ll keep you motivated.
Really the results of the clinical trials mentioned above speak for themselves, but below I’ll give you an idea of what can be achieved each step of the way from my own experiences and from those I’ve help along the way.
It does take a week or two before you notice any positive changes – but that’s the nature of exercise. One of the first positive improvements you will see during this period however will be to your erection quality – your erections will become extremely firm due to improved penile blood flow – which of course will make them look bigger too. This improved penile blood flow will also have a pronounced effect on your flaccid size – so if you’re a ‘grower’ instead of a ‘shower’, expect to become a ‘shower’ pretty quickly.
If you stick with a good program for a month to six weeks, you should be able to gain between ½ inch to an inch in erect penis length and about the same in girth – those are the average growth ranges. Of course, everyone has their own unique physiological makeup – some respond faster, some slightly slower, but these are realistic averages.
It may not sound like much, but believe me, you’ll notice the difference!
These are only the initial gains you'll achieve though. In fact, for one reason or another this seems to be the point a lot of men stop exercising. Maybe it's because they're happy with the 1/2 - 1 inch gain - but it's a common mistake you should avoid. The reason being, at this stage in your progress it's quite easy to lose the gains you've made.
To achieve your maximal increase in length and girth will take an additional 2 – 4 months – again, depending on your physiological make up. This is the period in which you’ll add some solid permanent size to your penis – gains that will last a lifetime!
In total, over the entire 3 – 6 month period you can expect to achieve permanent increases in erect length of between 1 ½ and 2 ½ inches in erect length and 1 – 2 inches in girth. Using a well researched program I personally achieved a 1 ¾ inch increase over a 3 month period (none of which I’ve lost since stopping) – which is pretty much average.
So to sum up:
- Expect to notice a significant improvement in erection quality after a couple of weeks. When flaccid, your penis will look noticeably bigger too.
- First four to six weeks expect to achieve ½ - 1 inch in erect length and similar in girth.
- Following 2 – 4 months you can realistically expect to gain a total of 1 ½ - 2 ½ inches in erect length, 1 – 2 inches in erect girth.
- The results are permanent.
- You’ll also achieve total control over when you ejaculate and significantly improve your overall penile health.
Increasing Growth Rates
If you want to maximise progress, think about your diet too. You’re not going through puberty anymore so you don’t have the same levels of growth hormones surging around your body to compensate for a poor diet. No strict bodybuilder type diet is necessary with PE – just think healthily. Remember, physical stress provides the stimulus for growth, but without a well balanced diet your body will find it difficult to grow – and that goes for your penis too.
Quick tip: Try to make sure you eat a small amount of protein (20 – 30 grams) every 2 – 3 hours. It helps to maintain a positive nitrogen balance in your body which is required for tissue growth.
To accelerate penile growth further, consider using (if you can afford it) a high quality male enhancement supplement such as VigRX Plus or MaleExtra. A lot of men notice pretty rapid gains when they combine them with exercise because of two direct effects they have on the penis:
Firstly, they contain ingredients called vasodilators, which expand the arteries feeding the penis with blood, therefore increasing penile blood flow. Secondly, they contain precursors (the building blocks) of the male sex hormone testosterone – helping to increase your body’s testosterone levels.
This accelerates growth rates in a few ways:
- A stronger supply of blood to the penis ensures that the stressed penile tissues receive all the oxygen and nutrient rich blood they need to recover and grow from the microtrauma of exercise.
- The improved penile blood flow also ensures that during erection the penis is always stretched to its current full capacity – therefore preventing loss of gains achieved.
- Testosterone is a powerful growth hormone – which aids to growth. By naturally increasing your testosterone levels, you’ll optimise recovery between workouts – hence again, leading to faster gains.
- Psychologically – supplements can’t permanently increase your penis size without the aid of exercise. BUT they do promote massively swollen erections – which may look ½ - 1 inch bigger than normal. Until the permanent effects of exercise kick in, seeing an almost immediate size increase can give you a massive motivation boost.
Whilst it certainly isn’t vital to take male enhancement pills to benefit from the effects of exercise, thanks to the above effects, they can really help you to maximize your growth rates if you do choose to take them.

Effective Guides:
You’ve probably seen loads of these sites advertised – all making the same claims. The problem is, until you stump up the fee to join, you just can’t tell if there’s any substance behind them.
I’ve collected numerous memberships over the years just to see if they offered anything new or unique of real value – and in the majority of cases the answer is no. They just provide the same old, out dated exercise techniques you can easily find for free. Just beginner techniques that will give you minimal growth - and the really funny thing is that half these membership sites don’t even get the basics right!
Having successfully used penile exercise techniques, I can tell you what works and what doesn’t.
As far as I’m concerned, the two guides mentioned below are by far the most effective – simply because they’re written by people who know what they’re talking about. Either will do the job effectively – the first I recommend because it personally worked for me, the second because I know a good guide when I see one. The choice between the two simply comes down to personal preference – the first is slightly more flexible, whilst the second takes a very regimented approach. So I’d recommend reading both reviews to get a good idea of what each has to offer.
Penis Health – I tend to recommend this site for one very simple reason – I know it works from personal experience. When I was a beginner looking for good quality, professionally presented information about penile exercise techniques, this was the first site that didn’t disappoint – it provides a great range of exercises, offers well structured exercise routines which keep you growing and offers extremely well presented instructional material to boot.
I hate to be one of those sites that says, ‘I gained x and x amount using this program’ – because they’re usually just trying to sell you a product. But the fact is I did make substantial gains with this guide – 1 ¾ inches in erect length and (about) 1 ¼ inches in girth – unfortunately I didn’t keep accurate girth measurements because at the time I was more interested in increasing my length.
And I’m not the only one who’s experienced just how powerful this program is. There’s a really active members forum full of very positive experiences. So if you’re at all sceptical when you join, I’d suggest having a look at the forums first before you do anything else – they’ll certainly show you how many men have found this guide beneficial.
So what’s the secret to the program’s effectiveness? We’ll…in my mind, there are several:
Firstly, the guide very concisely breaks the enlargement process down into easily achievable segments. You get specific exercises to perform at each stage from beginner to advanced, so that you’re always applying the correct levels of physical stress for optimal growth. Their workout routines are the same – well designed so that you don’t over or under train at any stage – so you constantly make steady, positive progress.
It’s also a really user friendly guide. They nicely split their exercises into component sections – those targeting length, those targeting girth and those improving overall erection quality. These are then broken down into beginner, intermediate and advanced sections – so you’re never overwhelmed with information.
The presentation is second to none – you get accurate and easy to follow descriptions of all exercises, and if you’re a visual learner, you’ll certainly benefit from their top rate video demonstrations.
This is just an exceptionally well researched and developed program – absolutely perfect for those who just want to get straight down to learning, implementing and benefiting from penile exercise as quickly as possible.
At just $49.95 for online access (or $69.95 if you want the DVD as well) together with a genuine 60 day money back guarantee, you just simply can’t go wrong with the program. What you get is top notch, up-to-date information that produces real results and at the same time doesn’t break the bank.
To learn more, visit the official Penis Health website.
Note: The company behind the Penis Health guide also manufactures the Male Extra brand of male enhancement supplement. If you want to try combining these with Penis Health I’d suggest going directly to the Male Extra site (read my Male Extra review here) – where they offer free access to Penis Health with every purchase. A one month’s supply of Male Extra plus Penis Health membership will cost you $75.95 including free shipping – making it a pretty good deal.
Erection Fitness - This is a brand new program designed to compete at the top end of the exercise guide market with the likes of Penis Health (you can see the similarity in the name!). Because it’s been commissioned and developed by one of the most reputable companies in the male enhancement field (Leading Edge Health – manufacturers of VigRX Plus) I had a feeling it might be quite good so I parted with my credit card details once again and paid the rather hefty $97 price tag in order to have a look at what they had to offer.
What they have done is taken a very fresh approach to natural penile exercise. The guide has been co-developed by a well known veteran in the world of penis enlargement, AJ "Big Al" Alfaro – who was actually one of the early pioneers of modern penile exercise techniques. Before developing one of the first penile exercise guides well over a decade ago, Big Al’s background was in power and strength training – and this comes through in the guide.
The guide is based very much on the science of bodybuilding and strength training – and reapplies these principles directly to the penis. The theory of ‘progressive overload’ is at the heart of the program – the principle that in order to stimulate maximum sustained growth you must consistently increase the intensity of your workouts. It’s a sound physiological principle that the program exploits to the full - showing you how to ‘shock’ your penis into growth – the same technique used by top bodybuilders.
Alfaro’s years of experience in the field of natural PE really do show in this guide. As you’d expect from this sort of high calibre program there are loads of exercises, from the core beginner ones through to really advanced high intensity stuff…and of course, all explained very simply with really good video demos.
The most striking thing about this course though is that it tells you exactly…and I mean exactly…what to do day-by-day until you finish the 120 day program. When to exercise, when to rest, what workouts you should be doing on which days, when to move up to the next level to maximize progressive overload, what to expect week-by-week, in fact absolutely everything. For those who want a strict regime to follow, which provides tangible goals week by week, Erection Fitness delivers perfectly.
Although it’s pretty costly at $97 (and that’s a time limited offer) one of the big bonuses of this guide is that it comes with a month’s supply of the manufacturer’s VigRX Plus supplement (read my VigRX Plus review) – the market leading male enhancement pill. As I mentioned above, the combination of a high quality supplement with a well developed exercise routine can really help to accelerate growth. So although the guide may seem expensive at first, one should remember that a month’s supply of VigRX Plus costs $76.99. What’s more, the program’s 60 day full refund guarantee lets you keep the VigRX Plus for free if you decide the program isn’t working for you.
Having seen the quality of the material though, as well as the training regime based on sound physiological principles of growth, I’d be surprised if anyone will be disappointed with the results. Like their VigRX Plus formula before, Leading Edge Health have come up with a real winner with this new guide – it’s just a shame that after the introductory offer ends, the price might put it out of reach of many men.
