This article is best read after reading the first earlier Penile Injuries article.
Before we go any further, let’s note the distinction between “commonly discussed penis enlargement side effects” and “common penis enlargement side effects”. Hopefully, this post will help clear up some misconceptions about the risks of injuries through sensible training methods. Please thoroughly research this subject on your own to learn more about it, and as always, make sure that you get a thorough check up before attempting any exercise program.
While there has been a huge, positive shift towards using nonsurgical methods of enlargement/enhancement, there has always been a paralleling negative campaign against them as well. This has been going on ever since they first became popular on the internet well over a decade ago. Thanks to the dedication of trainees worldwide that have put in the hard work and research (and let’s not forget the internet), a lot of men are learning about these self-improvement exercises for themselves. Now, popular opinion seems to be shifting towards acceptance of these methods.
Let’s start with the most popular and most maligned of all PE exercises- the jelq. There are some websites that claim that the jelq may cause scar tissue build up, ED, and a whole host of other issues. If you’re familiar with the larger penis enlargement internet forums- where men are actually trying these exercises and posting detailed feedback- you’ll note that there’s not much evidence to those claims at all.
Delve a little deeper into this and you’ll note that the most complaint against jelqing on the forums are that they cause “venous leaks”. The term venous leak defines a condition in which the veins supplying blood to the penis are not adequately compressed- causing more blood to flow out than in. This may be caused by congenital damage or injury to blood vessels or due to poor muscular relaxation1. Few medical professionals agree on the right type of treatment for this condition, and the causes are not agreed upon either. It is also a relatively uncommon condition. Also, many men self-diagnosing themselves with venous leakage are more likely suffering from some other common condition such as psychological ED.
Not coincidentally, many of those posts (which, strangely enough, seem to all have the same formatting- down to the numbered complaints) are also followed up with recommendations for experimental surgeries or exotic supplements. This is more of a sign of attempted forum trolling (for profit) than it is actual injury complaints. Even these complaints can be discredited when you look a little closer and read that the trainees were drunk, or were jelqing against objects (in one case a bathroom sink)- both extremely risky activities for even the most advanced trainees.
It’s likely that not all of these venous leaks complaints are made up, but you can check for yourself and compare these posts to gauge for yourself whether these posts seem authentic or not. What is ironic is that the jelq is actually one of the more moderate PE exercises in common use. Even with the more extreme enlargement movements like clamping and stretches that involve twisting the penis (movements that we don’t really recommend), the injury reports are pretty minimal. As for treating venous leaks, there are several possible options- the least invasive involve exercises and herbal treatments (more details here).
Then there’s the claim that exercises may cause scar tissue build up. Scar tissue in the penis is usually a result of a severe fracture or actual break in the penis. This is quite uncommon and the chief cause of this injury is a mistimed thrust while engaging in sexual activity (usually with a partner on top). In all my years of training, I’ve yet to hear of anyone complaining of scar tissue build up caused by penis enlargement exercises. The penis is a remarkably tough organ, and to think that you can cause scar tissue build up from following a sensible routine is something that should be backed up by proof- not supposition.
Another increasingly dangerous and self-administered condition is “priapism”. In some cases, this is being done in an attempt to mimic the rare effect of “megalophallus”- which is an immediate enlargement of the penis due to a chronic erection. If you’re reading this and have considered trying to imitate this condition, please note that 1) enlargement from priapism is actually quite rare and that 2) priapism is an extremely serious medical condition that may require immediate medical attention. Failure to get this condition resolved can lead to extreme permanent damage to the penis!
As with any exercise program, there’s going to be a risk of injury. Of course, that risk can be minimized by using sound training practices. If you’re a beginner, it’s advised that you be very careful with your initial experimentation with penis enlargement exercises. Your first session should be dedicated with familiarizing yourself with the exercises- learning how to execute them properly and using the right degree of intensity (which, for a beginner, should be on the very low side). Once you’ve learned how to perform an exercise, then you can try (slowly, and in subsequent workouts) to increase resistance and add reps.
To conclude, it seems evident that patience, responsible training practices, and paying close attention to your training details and your body’s reactions from them are keys to making steady, safe, and continual gains.
As a health professional and researcher involved in the PE community, I have studied the penis extensively. The architecture of this exquisitely constructed organ is no less than amazing. It has durability, strength, and extraordinarily intricate parameters of functioning, and can take a licking and keep on ticking. In the case of durability and strength, for example, pound for pound collagen fibers, the structural framework of the penis, has a tensile strength stronger than steel. Never-the-less having said this, it is essential that one engaging in PE, understand that there is a learning curve of good judgment.
Early on in this curve, it is particularly important to be prudent and gentile, erring on the side of good judgment. With time and experience you will gain greater wisdom, precision and awareness in your PE techniques and intensity. This greater wisdom will be constructive/helpful/healthful for your particular physiology and level of acclimation to PE. Even thought the penis is an extraordinarily durable organ, through experience your intuition will signal to you what works and is healthful and the best course of action to achieve optimum size and health.

This article explains a unique and widely unknown male erogenous zone known as the “Male G-spot”, its anatomical location, and how to make it a source of pleasure for help with masturbation, edging, and ballooning principles.
QUALITY male enhancement products have their place in a male enhancement training regimen. While no supplement or device can take the place of a well-planned enlargement course, these items may produce accelerated gains when used in conjunction with our recommended guide. We must stress that these tools are not “necessary” for gains- they may simply make it easier to achieve your goals.
We recommend thoroughly researching an item before purchasing it-
The Jelq Device-
Normally, I consider the jelq to be a beginner’s exercise, but the Jelq Device can turn the simple jelq into an advanced, intense exercise. A great feature of the JD is that you don’t need to add lube to achieve the effects of a wet jelq- the rollers do all the work!
If you like jelqing but can’t stand the strain on your hands or the messy lube, or you’re an advanced trainee looking to add jelqing back to your routine, I highly recommend the Jelq Device. It can be purchased here.
Fleshlight Stamina Training Unit-
The Fleshlight is a safe, inexpensive alternative to the traditional one night stand. Regular ejaculations with the Fleshlight will keep your genitourinary system in excellent condition.
When used in conjunction with stamina exercises, the fleshlight will help you develop more staying power and control over your performance. You can learn more about this fascinating device here.
VigRxPlus-
A good male enhancement pill should be composed of all-natural ingredients, be safe, effective and affordable. VigRxPlus has an excellent track record and their company has been around for quite some time now. This is a very difficult thing to accomplish in the supplement industry. They also give away “Free Bonus” items too. To learn more please visit VigRxPlus.

This article is to inform PE beginners of the advantages of having a picture-progress log. We all want proof that PE works. Having a good picture-log, will help keep track of your routine, and will also go a long way towards finding out what
I noticed something very interesting the other day. If you get the chance, check out the WikiPedia entry for “penis enlargement” here: Penis enlargement – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not more than a few months ago, the information listed there for nonsurgical PE was pretty negative and actual data was scant. While I don’t have any records of very recent screenshots, this archive from 22 OCT 2007 shows a great shift in opinion and general attitude change towards PE (in a more positive manner) from WikiPedia. They’ve even listed some of the studies we’ve linked to on PEGym!
Occasionally, I’ll get a frustrated client who complains about not making gains with the program. They’ll email me with statements like: “the program isn’t working for me”, “what am I doing wrong?”, etc. After reading this, I’ll ask them several questions-
“How long have you been doing PE?”
“What are/were your goals?”
“Are you keeping records of what you’ve been doing?”
And most importantly-
“What kind of routine are you following?”
The average non-satisfied PE subject has been working out for 2 months or more (not very long), has gaining goals of 2 inches in length (which is reasonable), and… (here’s the kicker) the routine that they’re following is NOTHING like what’s been suggested or what’s outlined in the recommended course (surprise!)
The most common routine that a lot of these clients are doing is something along the lines of “30 minutes of jelq”, “hours of hanging”, “clamping” (!), or other exercises that aren’t even outlined in the course. Some can’t even tell me what they’ve done in detail a few weeks ago (more on that later).
Another commonality among angry clients is that they usually own memberships in several PE pay sites or are confused from all of the available (and often conflicting) information about male enhancement on the internet.
There’s a pattern here. In order to gain from a PE program, you have to be able to follow instructions. In the basic routine, I give a concise outline of what should be done for the first few months of PE. Yes, the basic routine seems a little boring, but the purpose of the basic routine is to create a foundation of structural strength so that you’ll be able to withstand the heavier and much more stressful intensity loads of the more advanced exercises. Follow the routines as outlined (ESPECIALLY if you’re a beginner), and you’ll do fine.
Another thing… many advanced trainees stop making gains because they fall prey to the “more is better” way of thinking. They’ll say to themselves: “Hey, I did 50 reps of ‘the squeeze’, and my penis is pumped a whole 1/2 inch bigger than ever! If it only took 50 reps to add that 1/2 inch, then with 100 reps, I should be able to add a whole inch!” These are the same individuals that email me privately complaining about severe bruising and swelling.
Once you’ve had several months to gauge what’s accurately working for you, then I recommend experimenting with the exercises, layouts, and routines. Until then though, it’s best to follow the routines as outlined.
Here’s another thing that falls into the overzealous category: daily measuring. Guys, DO NOT measure yourselves daily! You need to have reference points in which to gauge your progress! Beginners- Measure yourselves no more than once a week. Advanced trainees (more than 2-3 months of PE)- Once every 2 to 3 weeks will do for measuring.
Keep a log of your routines, measurements and your goals. Write EVERYTHING down. Hand positions, lubes used, length of hot soaks, etc. By keeping accurate logs, you’ll be able to see what’s working (and what isn’t), and you’ll be able to track your progress with more precision.
The thing that I’m trying to say here is: follow instructions, pace yourselves, and set reasonable, achievable short, mid-range, and long term goals.
Do these simple things, and you’ll be much more apt to succeed in PE (and in other areas of your life for that matter.
Often, after implementing these simple principles into their programs, PE “failures” turn into PE “gainers”.
