Penis enlargement exercises are, for the most part, just like any other kind of workout. They stretch and stress the tissues in order to make them expand and add inches to the length and girth of the penis. The exercises designed to bring the pubococcygeus muscle into shape are actually pushing this muscle beyond its regular tone.

This is why nobody should be surprised that the end of the workout session leaves a strange sensation in the penis, the very same sensation experienced by people working out at the gym. The tissues tingle as the blood flows up and down the penis faster than normal, especially since a small part of the cells making up these tissues have broken down and are in the process of rebuilding. The skin might be a little bruised from the grip, while the increase blood flow makes the penis sensitive to the slightest touch. All these sensations are perfectly normal given the recent workout.

However, there are times when the simple tingling may turn into a dull or sharp pain. This pain is usually a sign that you are doing something wrong and that you need to find out where the problem lies before you manage to injure yourself. The most common mistake made by men who enlarge their penises through exercises is to underestimate the importance of warming up and down.

While it’s true that some men can do without the warm up process, most people should stick to it and make sure they’re doing it correctly. If the penis is not ready for workout, you might end up breaking down far more cells than you intended. The warm down process is also an important part of the workout routine because it is designed to speed up the healing and enlargement phases. Warming down makes sure that the higher than normal blood flow caused by the workout process is maintained for some time in order to heal the tissues.

Another thing that causes pain is greed. Some men are simply pushing themselves too hard in an attempt to force the pace of enlargement. This is plain wrong. The penis is made of tissue, not muscle and it will not respond to exercises as fast as, say, the biceps. Bottom line: don’t be greedy.

There are also honest mistakes. Some things seem like a good idea and then turn out to be less than brilliant. Also, it’s hard to know exactly when to stop when trying a new exercise so another very common cause behind the pain could be inexperience. It takes a while to learn how the penis goes along with a new exercise, so be careful and don’t exaggerate.

And, finally, some men masturbate or have sex right after a workout session. This is not a good idea. The penis needs at least two hours to recover from the exercises. It seems a shame to waste a good erection at the end of the workout, but the penis really needs the rest. A very good idea is to refrain from sex during the night after exercises. If you exercise every other day, you still have at least three days a week to get your pleasure.

Yet another widespread way of attempting to treat Peyronie’s disease is the use of tissue grafts. Surgery has more than one answer for this disease and, if the patient is unwilling to accept the loss of penis length that always accompanies the Nesbit Procedure, then he can choose a different course of action.

This procedure entails the complete surgical removal of the lump of plaque that develops on the penis and straightening the penis in order to bring it back to the original shape. Doctors tend to advise patients to go accept this approach in cases featuring large plaques or severely bent penises. The surgeon removes the affected part of the Tunica Albuginea and replaces the plaque with a graft material of some type.

There are several types of grafts that can be used to make up for lost tissue. The first type is autograft tissue, which is tissue taken from the patient’s own body during surgery. This is done mostly to minimize the immunologic response to the graft and to make sure that the body does not reject it.

Surgeons can also use synthetic inert substances, such as Dacron mesh or GORE-TEX instead of living tissue. Unfortunately, these artificial compounds tend to cause more scarring and also fibrosis, which is the formation of excessive connective tissue on the penis. In some cases, the doctors resort to xenografts, which are foreign tissues, of human or animal origin. They are widely available in hospitals, but are also prone to rejection by the body’s immune progress.

Another problem plaguing grafts is the fact that, sooner or later, grafts undergo postoperative contraction, thus causing a shortening of the penis and scarring. Therefore, patients should weigh the pros and cons of grafts thoroughly before applying for surgery.

The last resort of many patients who suffer from severe forms of Peyronie’s disease is a penile implant. Years ago, implants were the first choice of many doctors faced with cases of men who could not achieve a proper erection because of Peyronie’s disease, but the advent of new techniques designed to cure erectile dysfunction has made their use less frequent. However, implants are still recommended to men whom erectile dysfunction drugs cannot help.

Penile implants are plastic cylinders, either solid or inflatable, which are placed inside the Corpora Cavernosa. These cylinders are biocompatible in order to avoid triggering a response of the immune progress. The surgeon can either place the implants inside the penis and let them do the work of straightening the organ, or they can try to bend the penis against the plaque in order to increase the implant’s chance of successfully correcting the curvature.

Patients should be aware that surgery is an invasive procedure that is better put off until other approaches have been found ineffective. Premature or inadequate surgery has a high rate of failure or recurrence of the disease. While, it is true that patients who have undergone successful surgery are usually satisfied with the results, it only takes a simple mistake to botch an operation and with surgery there is no going back.

Driving or flying, by train or by bus, many of us are moving about the country on a regular basis because our jobs or family lives require us to cover long distances. Some find this tiring and would rather settle down. Others like the fact that they get to see a lot of new places and think that living in hotels and being constantly on the move is an acceptable tradeoff. However, there are certain things that take time and privacy to do and these two requirements are not easy to come by in a lifestyle that keeps one constantly busy.

Penis enlargement is one of the little things that is hard to stick to on the road. Finding the time and privacy to strap on a Male Extra system and wear it for a couple of hours is not easy when you have to catch a flight or a bus in a couple of hours. Moreover, wearing a Male Extra system in a hotel may be a bit awkward since you have to make sure that the room service staff does not notice. Nobody wants to become the talk of the hotel staff and especially not over a penis enlargement system.

However, intrepid and dedicated penis enlargement fans know that it only takes a bit of determination and skill to do penis enlargement 365 days a year. It’s all in choosing the right method for the right location and the right occasion. With a bit of effort, you can wear the Male Extra™ system for extended periods of time underneath a loose fitting pair of trousers or a house robe. The system is not very big and can be easily hidden by clothing. Wearing a loose shirt or T-shirt can also cover the pubic area and help conceal the Male Extra system.

If, however, there is absolutely no way of wearing the Male Extra™ system without it being detected or if there is not enough time for a proper enlargement session, you can always use penis enlargement exercises instead of the Male Extra system. Exercises take only 25 to 30 minutes per day and can be performed in the bathroom, away from indiscreet eyes. Simply log onto the Internet and select the exercises that make up your daily routine. If the hotels you’re staying at have no Internet connection, then you should bring along the extremely handy Male Extra™ DVD. The DVD has everything the website has plus the excellent benefit of being accessible anywhere, anytime.

The best thing about using Male Extra™ and/or the Male Extra™ program on the road is the fact that you can maximize gains and speed up the enlargement process by not interrupting it for even a day, outside those scheduled for rest. It is this determination to stick to the program even in less than optimum conditions that will help you achieve your gains faster than usual. Putting training off because the time or the place is not right will delay results and increase the chance of becoming depressed over the pace of enlargement. But this can be easily avoided with a bit of determination to take advantage of any chance that comes your way.

The Nesbit Procedure is a surgical procedure designed to correct severe bending of the penis. It is the most widely used method for straightening congenital curvature of the penis, especially cases featuring moderate bending of the penis, because it is less likely to cause erectile dysfunction than tissue grafting. However, the procedure causes a shortening of the penis in all patients and results in permanent sensory loss or erectile dysfunction in less than 2 percent of cases. On the other hand, more than 90 percent of patients, both those suffering from Peyronie’s and those with congenital bending, are happy with the results.

The procedure itself is quite simple. The penis is filled with a sterile physiologic salt solution in order to cause an artificial erection. The surgeon gathers with a clamp the outer side of the bend, which forces the Tunica Albuginea to straighten the penis. The direct consequence of this procedure is a slight shortening of the surface of the penis. The suture points may ooze for a day or two after the operation, but this is to be expected. The patient should avoid sex until the wound is healed and no more pain is experienced.

Another good way of dealing with Peyronie’s disease is to use a Male Extra system to straighten the penis. Despite the controversy surrounding such novel approaches as Male Extra systems, several clinical studies have already been conducted in order to assess the effectiveness of this technique. Due to the nature of Peyronie’s disease, any procedure that is based on sound scientific facts and promises to work is quickly put to the test in the hope that it might prove to be the long-sought cure. And Male Extra systems seem to be a genuine alternative for men suffering from the disease.

The Male Extra system, which can is part of the Male Extra penis enlargement program, works by forcing the tissue that makes up the penis to expand instead of retracting and increasing the curve. By using the Male Extra system on a regular basis, the men who took part in clinical studies have been able to reduce their curvatures and maintain or increase the size of their penises. While there’s still a lot of testing to be done, the studies have proved that the Male Extra system is a safe and effective alternative to surgery or injecting various substances into the plaque.

The Male Extra system can also be used as an adjunct of surgery. While surgical intervention removes the plaque that had formed on the penis, it also triggers a shortening of the penis as the tissues located around the former plaque zone are no longer of the same length as the rest of the shaft. Therefore, the Male Extra Male Extra system can be used to force these tissues to expand and assume the same length as the others in the penile shaft. Thus, men who have chosen surgery in order to rid themselves of Peyronie’s disease have a chance to prevent penile shortening.

The Male Extra system was classified as a Medical system Type 1 by the health authorities of the European Union and bears the CE sing, while the manufacturing process is fully compliant with the ISO13485:2003 and ISO90001:2000 quality management standards. Included in the Male Extra package is a free membership to Male Extra, the penis exercises program featuring a series of exercises designed to decrease the curvature caused by Peyronie’s disease. Members of this program can learn to increase the length and girth of their penises, correct curvatures, prevent premature ejaculation and maintain sexual fitness throughout the years.

Condoms are probably the safest way to prevent the spread of STDs and also one of the most effective means of avoiding unwanted pregnancies. Around the world, condoms are promoted by NGOs striving to stop AIDS and to teach men and women about family planning and responsible sex. Not everybody agrees with the use of condoms, but they are still the cheapest and easiest way of dealing with STDs and unwanted pregnancies.

However, many men are not very comfortable with buying condoms from pharmacies because they don’t like to inform other people about their private activities. Just thinking about going into a pharmacy or drugstore and asking for condoms, possibly even a female vendor, is enough to make them queasy. They are also afraid that some people might prove judgmental and criticize their choice of using condoms or start joking about it in a malicious manner. This is why condoms are sold in Western countries through vending machines that allow buyers to preserve their privacy. Still, this convenience has triggered a new problem of its own.

Men who avoid buying condoms from pharmacies are also unable to get advice on the features of this or that brand of condoms, especially regarding the length and circumference. This is a very important issue, since buying the wrong size means that the condom will either tear or slide off the penis during sex, thus defeating the very purpose for which condoms are bought. Professional advice is very important because most men have no idea what size of condoms fits them best, while other men can’t even rely on the standard sizes. A recent study conducted in India has shown that the 60 percent of Indian men find standard size condoms too big for them.

Having a small penis is very embarrassing when buying condoms. No man wants to be seen purchasing the smallest size available because of the possible negative opinion of those who happen to be in the store at that moment, while the wide range of colors, shapes and flavors available is enough to baffle anybody. And the feeling of embarrassment is not the exclusive property of men with small penises. Men with larger than average penises are also embarrassed when it comes to identifying the exact size that fits them. Although well-endowed men tend to command the respect of others, it’s still unpleasant to be stared at.

If you are not sure what condom size fits you, then here’s a quick reference guide that will let you identify the right size on the spot. The standard condom sizes used in the Western are small, medium (also known as regular), large and extra large. These sizes translate as follows: small means a length of 6 inches or 15 centimeters and a circumference of 3.9 inches or 9.8 centimeters; medium means a length of 6.5 inches or 16 centimeters and a circumference of 4.1 inches or 10.4 centimeters; large means 7 inches or 17.5 centimeters in length and 4.1 inches or 10.4 centimeters in circumference; extra large is 7.5 to 8 inches or 18.5 to 20 centimeters in length and a circumference of 4.3 inches or 10.8 centimeters at the base and 4.7 inches or 12 centimeters around the glans.

The vast majority of men are born with normal penises and grow up thinking nothing about the shape of their penises, confident that their sex life will be just as good as that of the next fellow. Unfortunately, nature is not always kind to us and the good things in life come mixed with a many bad things.

Some men have the unpleasant surprise to find that their penis develops scar tissue and starts bending. This condition is known to health care professionals as Peyronie’s disease. It is believed that as many as 1 percent of all men suffer from this disease.

Peyronie’s disease is a condition named after Francois de la Peyronie, surgeon to Louis XIV of France, who was the first man to describe a treatment in 1743. While the cause of this disease is not well understood, its mechanism is perfectly clear.

The “tunica albuginea” is the tough layer of connective tissue that contains the sponge-like Corpora Cavernosa. For reasons unknown, scar tissue begins to form in the “tunica albuginea”, which prevents the normal expansion of the penis during erections and, in time, bends the penis to one side or the other.

Although the disease is somewhat painful at first, the pain eventually goes away on its own. The only effects of this disease are the curvature, which is visible when the penis is erect, and possibly a shortening of the penis in the flaccid state.

Most men suffering from it are perfectly able to have sex with their partners and experience no pain during intercourse. The disease can affect men of all races and ages, but it is most commonly seen in Caucasian males ages 40 and up. It is not contagious and is in no way related to cancer or other serious conditions.

While diagnosing of Peyronie’s disease is quite simple, treating it is not. Most urologists have little knowledge of possible treatments and one should seek the advice of an urologist who specializes in this disease. Some treatments that have been tried are drugs containing L-arginine and sildenafil. Surgery is also considered an option in severe cases.

Peyronie’s disease is probably a very old condition, one that’s been around for centuries if not since mankind’s first days on this planet. Like erectile dysfunction and other intimate problems, the condition has not been openly discussed for a long time, as men tried to hide it from the world and from themselves. In the ages when people frowned upon intimate diseases and there was little understanding of illnesses and their causes, it’s easy to guess why nobody wanted to bring up this topic. The natural fear of impotence or sexually transmitted diseases was bad enough in those times.

The first clinical reports on this condition were made more than 250 years ago by Francois Gigot de la Peyronie, the man whose name is still linked to the condition, although the first to mention it was Cesare Aranzi in 1587. De la Peyronie was a brilliant surgeon and one of the founders of the Royal Academy of Surgery in France. His work on the penile curvature was the first and, for a long while, the only step toward the modern attempts to cure it. Unfortunately, today we are no closer to a comprehensive definition of the causes of Peyronie’s disease than Peyronie himself was in 1743.

Most doctors agree with the assumption (as yet unproven) that Peyronie’s disease is caused by microvascular trauma during intercourse. Unfortunately, since the tunica albuginea (the layer of the penis where the condition develops) is not rich in blood vessels, the healing process does not always follow the normal course. Multiple instances of intercourse trauma and poor healing lead to the formation of a plaque, which is made of fibrin, a protein that helps blood clot. This plaque prevents the normal expansion of the penis tissues during erection, thus causing the characteristic bend.

It is also believed that the diseases develops only in men who are genetically predisposed to the accumulation of fibrin within the tunica albuginea and the expansion of plaque to healthy tissue along the dorsal and ventral midline of the shaft. However, one must keep in mind that this attempt at etiology is still speculation at this moment. Unfortunately, Peyronie’s disease is considered a rare diseases and non-life-threatening, which means that only a handful of professionals are actually interested in uncovering the causes and finding a cure.

Judging by the rapid growth of the penis enlargement market, a lot of men are not happy with their current size. I’m not sure whether the problems they face in their sex lives come from penis size, low confidence or some other cause, but it’s clear that a bigger penis is one of the ways to achieve success in bed. A bigger penis does matter when asking a lady out and once you’ve got her in bed any other problems should be forgotten for the moment.

You probably don’t need me to tell you about the benefits of having a bigger penis when it comes to sex. It’s absolutely fantastic to never have to worry about sex and simply take it whenever and wherever it happens. This is the feeling you get when you no longer have to think what the lady might say when she discovers that you are not particularly well-endowed. This is also the feeling you get when you see a content smile on your lady’s face and you know you’ve done a good thing. A bigger penis may not be exactly the answer to all prayers, but it can be a very good advantage when used correctly.

And let’s not forget the psychological benefits of having a bigger penis dangling in your pants. Who’s got time to be shy around women when they’re ogling that bulging crotch? Nothing comes close to that feeling of confidence (or even swagger) that’s plain to see in the face of any man who’s absolutely sure of his ability to charm women. Regardless of how many bad experiences one may have had in the past, a bigger penis is bound to make you feel as if you could take on anything and then some. Women like that kind of attitude in a man, as long as it doesn’t turn to arrogance.

One of the big questions that men would love to know the final answer to is, naturally: “Do women prefer a bigger penis or not?” The answer varies from woman to woman, but all men should know that many women tend to like bigger penises. Although penis size cannot make up for a lack of skill, it’s still better to be larger than average than the other way around. Some women like longer penises, while others prefer a good girth. However, you cannot go wrong with a bigger penis. And if by some really bad luck one lady doesn’t appreciate your being bigger, that’s no apt to be a problem. You can always move on.

A bigger penis brings many important advantages to its owner. It’s very important to be able to enjoy sex without having to worry about anything. Sex should be a positive thing in your life, not a constant source of anxiety and depression and there’s no need to turn into a recluse just because you are afraid you can’t handle a night of passion. Life is for living, not for hiding in a room, away from the world.

One of the biggest problems faced by men interested in penis enlargement exercises is the lack of clinical studies that can back up the effectiveness of this technique with incontrovertible data collected according to the scientific standards of our age. Traditionally, those who believe in the power of exercises to change the length and girth of the penis had to make do with their own experiences and the testimonies of other brave souls who defied the conventional wisdom and tried the exercises themselves. This is why, for a long time, information about penis enlargement exercises was limited to word of mouth, hearsay and Internet forums.

The only existing study of the effects of penis enlargement exercises was conducted in the UK by Doctor Brian Richards, author of numerous books and hundreds of articles on sex-related subjects. The study was performed in the late 1970s and it focused on proving or disproving the effectiveness of an enlargement method called the “Chartham Method”. At the end of three months, 87.5 percent of the men forming the group which used the Chartham Method reported gains ranging from .94 inches to 1.4 inches in length and from .55 inches to 1.2 inches in girth. Doctor Richards concluded that the Chartham Method could enable a large percentage of males to improve the size of their penises.

The Chartham Method is no longer used today because the market of penis enlargement solutions provides a host of new approaches, but the general lack of clinical proof of their effectiveness is still an issue. This is why Lativio LLP, owner of the highly successful Male Extra program of exercises, has decided to put its own product to the test and prove once and for all that penis enlargement exercises are more than just hype and scams. The company is supremely confident in the Male Extra program and wishes to show its commitment to providing products and services of the highest quality to its customers.

The Lativio LLP-sponsored study includes 50 volunteers who will be required to perform a forty-minute exercise program four times a week for 4 to 6 months. Each volunteer will perform the exercises at home and will report to a clinic two times per week to fill in a questionnaire, provide feedback and answer a series of questions. Every four weeks, the volunteers will have their penises measured in order to track their progress. The study will focus on the increase in erect and flaccid length and girth, improved erection hardness, increased frequency of erections, better sexual stamina, libido, confidence and control over ejaculations.

A clinically proven program of penis enlargement exercises will help the company remove that last inch of doubt persisting in the minds of many men who are interested in increasing the size of their penises, but would rather be 100 percent sure of the effectiveness of a particular method before trying it. If, as the company hopes, the study proves that the Male Extra program is indeed effective then it will become the first ever clinically proven exercise program. The official recognition means that existing and prospective customers can trust Male Extra to deliver on its promises.
