A man who would like to improve the size of his penis should take the time to learn the difference between the many touted fake and real penis growth exercises. While many of these methods claim to be the amazing solution to quickly developing an oversized member, there are some myths that need to be busted about these special techniques. Any website that is promising natural penis growth that sounds too good to be true is probably out there just trying to make a quick buck off of desperate consumers. Taking the proper amount of time to research these methods before jumping right in can save some men from disappointing results and even undue pain in some cases.

Perhaps the most commonly talked about male penis growth exercise is the process of jelqing. In this exercise the base of a man’s semi-erect penis is held tight with one hand while the other is used in a milking motion along the length of the shaft. As this hand nears the end of the penis, the tight hand begins the same process. In this manner each hand reverses roles at the end of each stroke for approximately 10-15 minutes. The idea behind jelqing is that the blood is forced to the end of the penis and enlarges the area of erectile tissue. It has not been conclusively proven whether this method is effective for growth of penis length, but many men swear by the technique.

Another exercise that is reported to help obtain optimal size of a penis is by hanging weights from the end of the member for an extended period of time. The logic behind this method is that the cells of the erectile tissue are forced to divide and multiply due to the constant tension. Also, it is thought that the cells develop some slight scarring from the tension, thus creating a wider penis girth. Similar to jelqing, this technique has not been scientifically proven, but many tribes in Africa have used this method for countless centuries.

The only exercises that have been proven to work are those that do not feature the penis at all. Any aerobic exercise that improves blood circulation will translate to more blood reaching the penis when an erection is called for. Including jogging or other aerobic exercises to a fitness regime can do nothing but help a man add additional size to his penis. These types of exercises also help the respiratory system, meaning that more stamina is developed. This will not necessarily aid in making the penis larger, but it will make a person more capable of having sex for longer periods of time.

The myths that a significantly larger penis can be had with a minimum effort are present in any men’s magazine or online website that speaks of penis enlargement. The key to remember is that nothing is so easy and it takes time and effort to reach this goal. The previously mentioned penis growth exercises may work for some people, but are not guaranteed to work for everyone.
