Penis Cardio

[Vinroe]

I've heard doing penis exercises will help in prolonging sex, increasing loads, and maintaining erections. However how does one go about it?

Spending time at the gym helps a guy keep his body in better physical shape, and even though it can be tough, most men appreciate the difference it can make. And just as regular exercise can play a big role in overall health, so can penis exercise contribute to penis health and function. Guys concerned about penis function may want to consider initiating a penis exercise regimen to see what changes it may bring about.

Use it or lose it

For some men, the only penis exercise that they need is regular sex, whether with a partner or with their own hand. The saying "use it or lose it" does have application to good penis function. By engaging in sexual activities, the penis is "put through its paces" like a racehorse, and that does indeed help keep the various parts active, engaged and exercised. So by all means, a guy should include sufficient sex activity in his penis exercise routine.

Edging

But for some men, a little more effort may be needed to work on penis function issues. For example, if a man tends to ejaculate more quickly than he would like, he may want to include some edging exercises in his routine. Edging involves masturbating the penis until it is almost ready to ejaculate and then stopping. After the urge to ejaculate subsides, the man resumes masturbating, bringing himself again to the brink of ejaculating and stopping again. The idea is to repeat this process several times before giving in to the need to ejaculate. Many men find that practicing edging over a period of time does help them delay their ejaculations during partner-based sex. As a side benefit, ejaculating after edging for an extended period of time often produces a more intense orgasm.

Kegels

Kegel exercises are very popular and (unlike edging) can be done anywhere, anytime - without anyone being aware of them. A guy's PC (pubococcygeus) muscle has several functions. It plays a role in helping the erectile process and it also helps maintain or interrupt the flow of urine. When a guy is urinating and suddenly needs to stop, he squeezes the PC muscle to shut off the flow. The squeezing and releasing of the PC muscle is known as doing a Kegel exercise.

Kegels can strengthen the PC muscle, which in turn strengthens the penis. The best way to do this is to start slow and progressively build. One repetition would consist of squeezing the PC muscle shut, holding it two-three seconds, then releasing for two-three seconds. Start by doing one set of five repetitions and do three sets over the course of a day. The number of sets and repetitions should increase over time.

Kegels plus

Once a guy is used to regular Kegels, he may want to challenge himself with Kegel-Plus exercises. For these, more privacy is needed than for regular Kegels. A guy needs to give himself an erection, then place a washcloth or small towel on it for extra weight. He should then contract and release his PC muscles as with regular Kegels. The added weight gives more of a work-out to the muscle.

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.

No idea on this dude. But I would like to learn.
