Boost Your Penis Function with These Targeted Exercises

One reason that guys like to practice good penis health is that it can have an impact on their penis function. There are many components to good penis health, such as proper penis hygiene, use of protection during sexual encounters, and maintenance via application of a penis health crème. But for many men, one way to help maintain or sometimes boost penis function is through penis-specific exercises.

Keep it in play

Although the penis isn’t a muscle, it needs to be treated like one in some ways - and that means giving it the exercises it needs to stay fit. "Use it or lose it" often applies to the penis as much as to other things. One difference is that sometimes exercises for the penis can actually be a lot of fun.

For example, simply engaging in sex - whether with a partner or with one’s own hand or applicable sex toy - is one of the best penis exercises there is. It also helps penis function because, as the saying goes, "practice makes perfect."

Edging

But sometimes even for men who are very sexually active, there can be a need for a little extra help in the penis function department. That’s where edging exercises can come in handy.

What is edging? It’s a term used to indicate a "stop and start" method of sex, most often used in masturbation. The idea is for a man to masturbate as usual, stroking himself to a state of excitement where he is almost ready to ejaculate - when he gets to the "edge" of ejaculating. He should then stop masturbating and let the desire to ejaculate subside, then resume masturbating again. When he returns to the edge of ejaculation, he stops again.

The idea is to do this repeatedly for as long a time as possible. If a man typically masturbates, for say, ten minutes, he might start out by edging for 20 minutes, then the next time try for 30, then 45, etc. (Some men enjoy edging for hours, but an individual should decide what works best for himself.)

Edging benefits penis function by helping a man learn how to prolong his ejaculation.

Kegels

Another penis-specific exercise is called Kegel exercises. Basically, this helps strengthen the muscles in the pelvic floor, which can strengthen the penis in turn.

But how does a guy find these muscles? The best way is for a man to wait until he needs to urinate. After he starts urinating, he should stop in mid-stream and notice which muscles he uses to prevent the urine flow. These are the muscles that he wants to exercise.

Kegel exercises are simple. They just involve contracting and releasing the aforementioned muscles, holding them tight for 3 to 5 seconds, then releasing, and repeating the process. Most men start small, doing a set of 3-5 Kegel exercises two or three times a day. They should gradually increase these repetitions and/or the length of time that the muscles are contracted.

Kegel exercises can help strengthen muscles which play a role in penis function, especially where erectile maintenance is concerned.

Exercises to improve penis function should be a part of most men’s penis health regimen, as should daily application of a first rate penis health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). The ideal crème is going to contain many ingredients, including two important ones: L-arginine and L-carnitine. The former is a valuable amino acid which is intended to boost production of nitric oxide; this helps create situations where penis blood vessels can more easily expand when blood flow is increased during erections. The latter has neuroprotective properties which can help prevent loss of sensation in the penis, especially due to rough handling or overuse.

Penis Health: Exercises to Do with a Partner

Men’s health in general is important; even more so the health and well-being of his favorite tool. And just as exercises are a crucial ingredient in maintaining overall health, so are targeted exercises necessary to properly maintain penis health. But whereas full body workouts can be onerous for some, exercising the penis can be quite enjoyable - especially when a "workout buddy" is added into the mix.

Exercises to try
"Use it or lose it" is a rule that applies to the penis; and some men may feel that simply engaging in any kind of sex is all the exercise their organ needs. But taking a somewhat more focused approach in terms of exercises can not only help keep the phallus in shape, but also provide a bonding experience with a mate. With that in mind, here are several two-on-one (that is, two people on one penis) exercises to consider.

- Edging it. Many men often "edge" when masturbating - that is, they masturbate until they are very close to ejaculation, then stop for a few moments. After the urge has subsided, they masturbate to near the breaking point again - then stop again. Repeating this helps to build up stamina, and some guys can edge for hours on end before ejaculating. So why not try letting one’s partner join in? The partner can stimulate in whatever way they desire - manual, oral, or penetrative - and at the rate they desire. The man needs to merely give enough notice to stop.

- Timing it. Many partners would like their man to last a little longer, and this exercise may help in that area. The partners set a minimum goal to keep from ejaculating - say, fifteen minutes. During that time, the partner provides stimulating attention to the penis, but without letting the man release. The one being stimulated therefore must communicate, letting the partner know when to slow down, when to stop for a moment, what feels good, what doesn’t, etc. This exercise is good for the penis and good for communicating and sharing knowledge, as well.

- Doubling it. The partner stimulates the penis as intensely as possible, with the goal of bringing about an ejaculation as fast as possible. As soon as the orgasm is over, the partner then engages in another round of stimulation, but stretching it out to see how long it takes for a second release.

- Avoiding it. All this focus on stimulating the penis is great - but don’t neglect the areas surrounding it. One fun exercise is for the partner to see what reactions they can get from directing attention to the testicles, the crotch surrounding the penis, the perineum and the posterior. Stimulating these sensitive areas can indirectly work out the penis.

- Using a light touch. "Death grips" are common when masturbating, but they can be de-sensitizing. For a change, ask a partner to stimulate the penis using only a light touch. After achieving an erection, the partner should avoid any tight grip. Instead, they should blow on the organ, lightly stroke it with fingertips or run a silk scarf back and forth across it.

- Topping off. For most men, the underside of the penis is more sensitive than the top. For a change of pace, asking a partner to concentrate almost exclusively on the top of the penis will create new sensations and give the organ a slightly different kind of workout.

Exercises, especially with a partner, can get the blood flowing in the manhood and maintain proper penis health. Of course, any exercise routine also brings about some soreness, and that can be true in this case, as well. Regular use of a first rate penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) is necessary to keep that soreness at bay. Re-hydrating the penis, especially after a very intensive session, can be achieved by using a crème that contains both a high end emollient (shea butter is excellent) and a natural hydrator (vitamin E, for example). A crème with L-arginine, an enzyme which helps keep blood vessels open, can help with penis blood flow as well, which hastens the healing process.
