Sure, having a longer penis is great. In fact, a longer penis can help you get into sexual positions that a shorter penis just can’t take advantage of. However, a thicker penis is also a common male enhancement goal.
Check out our resources below for increasing the thickness of your penis. These will help you get more penis girth.
This guest post is courtesy of ArtisticAnarchist. He discusses penis size perspective and how it’s common for penis size to be skewed – both thanks to the porn industry and common misconceptions. Thanks, AA, for this awesome content!
Penis Size Perspective
You just heard a porn star rant and rave about so-and-so’s 12 inch penis.
Your date/significant other remarked that a previous partner had a 11 inch penis.
A friend or someone online said that he has a 10 inch penis.
Is it any wonder that you’re feeling a little bit self-conscious about your own penis? Fortunately for your self-esteem, all of those reported measurements are wrong, and this article will explain to you how and why these misconceptions regarding penis size exist.
The Porn Star Embellishment & Penis Size Perspective
Porn is built on the foundation of fantasy, as such anything that can be embellished, will be embellished. The women who are having eardrum-busting orgasms are by and large: acting. People often forget after the pizza delivery boy has sex with the lonely wife as payment for the two large cheese pizzas that the two people in the scene are still acting, often because the unsimulated sex isn’t something you see at your local movie theater and on its own does a good job of suspending disbelief.
However, most of the time the woman isn’t experiencing anywhere near the pleasure she’s pretending to, and the man wouldn’t last nearly as long if it weren’t for all the breaks in between the scenes and if he wasn’t injecting liquid viagra directly into his penis. None of you would presume to believe that Iron Man is real, so why wouldn’t you use that same rationale regarding porn?
How is this relevant to the main topic? It’s in the porn industry’s best interest to enhance penis size, because it contributes to fulfilling the fantasy of the audience, which as I mentioned is the foundation of the porn industry.
3 Ways the Porn Industry Skews Penis Size Perception
The three most popular ways the porn industry enhances penis size is as follows:
Perspective Distortion: the warping or transformation of an object and its surrounding area that differs significantly from what the object would look like with a normal focal length, due to the relative scale of nearby and distant features. .
The male actor is below average in height, which can make their penis appear larger than it is. .
The female actor is petite in order to further enhance the size of the male actor.
All three of the parties involved (industry, male, female) will outright lie about the male actor’s penis size because a large penis in an adult film is tantamount to marketing ammunition. And if a male actor is getting paid to promote a product that allegedly increases penis size, it’s in that male actor’s financial interest to lie about his size.
The Penis Size Perspective Reality in Porn
In reality: the majority of penis lengths in the industry range between 6.5-7.5 inches bpel, with a very small minority being 8.0-8.5 inches bpel. They’re all above average, which shouldn’t be surprising given their profession, but their penises are nowhere near the size that’s claimed.
Your Date/Significant Other’s Misinformation & Penis Size Perspective
While intentional exaggeration of past partners in order to hurt your self-esteem does occur in relationships, the optimist in me would like to think that these incidents represent a minority of the cases of how your date or significant other could be spreading false information regarding penis size.
The most likely culprit is that they received false information and simply didn’t know any better:
Your date/significant other could have watched porn and developed a skewed sense of size. .
Your date/significant other’s previous partner could have lied to them about their size because of: A) Porn, B) Overcompensating. .
Your date/significant other underestimated what an inch really looks like and overestimated how large a penis can appear.
Friend/Someone Online & Penis Size Perspective
They, like you, probably believe the mythos that 12 inch penises are commonplace and are factually the only sized penis capable of pleasing a woman. Their insecurities make them exaggerate about their size, so don’t believe them.
Bringing Reality to Penis Size Perspective
Here’s a dose of reality to get some real penis size perspective:

Hopefully this article has helped you realize that penises aren’t as big as you thought they were, penises don’t need to be as big as you thought in order to please your significant other, and it’s my hope that you’ll keep both of these thoughts in mind when you begin your PE journey.
.Once you’ve warmed up your penis, you can move on to your penile exercises. As with many workouts, the first and foremost exercises are stretches. Penis stretching is most likely the oldest form of penile exercising and is still essential to any routine. Most advanced exercises designed to enhance penis length derive from penis stretching.
What is Penis Stretching?
Penis stretching, as the name implies, involves exercises that stretch the penis. Some of these exercises are manual – using only your hands. Some of these exercises use devices to create the stretch. There are a variety of exercises that count as penis stretch type exercises. These types of penis exercises are used, most often to increase penis length and girth. Keep reading to learn more, including the different types of stretch exercises.
NOTE: Penis Stretching exercises are not quick fixes. They are not miracle, over night cures. Like traditional exercises, they take time, consistency, proper technique and intensity, to see results. In addition, every person’s body is unique. Some people’s body are more resistant to change than others.
How Does Penis Stretching Work?
Penis stretching works by stretching the tissues of the penis. This stretching, when done at the right intensity, creates microtears in the cells of the penile tissue. When these microtears are repaired by the body, this creates new cellular tissue, which increases length and girth.
This is the same process as happens when building muscle in other areas of the body. The exercise itself creates the microtears, but it’s in the repair (rest) stage that the new tissue is created by the body.
You can see this same effect in someone who uses gauges in their ears. By slowly increasing the size of the gauge, and stretching the ear tissues, eventually, the ear lobe gets significantly longer, as the body repairs the damage from the stretch of the gauge. This same process is seen in the neck stretching of the Kayan people of Thailand as well as cultures that use lip plates as ornamentation.
Penis Devices Used for Penis Stretching
There are a variety of devices used for penis stretching. These include:
Penis extenders
Penis pumps
Weights/penis hanging
Penis Extenders for Penis Stretching
Penis extenders are one of the most common stretching devices. Typically these fall into two styles – either a rigid (with bars or rods) or vacuum (non-rigid) extender. They hold the penis in a stretched state, for hours at a time. Depending on the style of extender, some can be worn under baggy clothing, such as sweats. Others are more discreet and can be worn under normal clothing, such as slacks or jeans. Some are comfortable enough to sleep with.
Penis Pumps for Penis Stretching
Penis pumps use a cylinder, that the penis is inserted into. Then, vacuum is created in the cylinder, forcing the tissues of the penis to expand not only length wise, but also along the circumference of the penile shaft. This also forces blood into the penis, helping with the expansion. These devices are a less intense stretch than extenders, but have the benefit of offering more girth stretch than extenders. Penis pumps can either be manual or electric to create the vacuum. Some, like the Bathmate, use the removal of water to create the vacuum.
Penis Weights/Hanging for Penis Stretching
Penis hanging isn’t a new exercise. Men have used it for centuries, around the world. Sadhus, as an example, use it as a measure of spiritual enlightenment.
Using penis weights and hanging are advanced penis stretching exercises. They are the most common exercise that sees injury, as men try to hang too much weight, too quickly. You can learn more about penis hanging here — Beginning a Penis Hanging Routine
Scientific Research About Penis Stretching
Manual penis stretches have not been well-researched by the scientific or medical community. However, there’s tens of thousands of anecdotal evidence supporting its effectiveness in helping men reach their penis enlargement goals. (Check out our Success Forums and our post – Jelqing Results 2018 Report – Does Jelqing Really Work?)
However, there has been significant peer-reviewed studies performed on the effectiveness of penis stretch devices for penis enlargement and Peyronie’s disease (curvature of the penis).

This research was originally based on the reality that many men who have a penile prosthesis implanted suffer from loss of penis length, after surgery. The researchers’ theory was use of a penis extender BEFORE surgery would prevent this penis length loss. Their theory was proven to be correct. In addition, their study participants saw an average length INCREASE due to penis extender usage of 1.5 cm.

This review of scientific literature found that extenders are an effective Peyronie’s disease therapy.
Never Stretch Fully Erect – Never do any penis stretching exercise while fully erect. Always be flaccid or semi-flaccid.
Listen to Your Body – Don’t continue to exercise if you ever feel pain. You can read about other physiological indicators you need to watch here – Physiological Indicators Are Your Best Friend
Remember to Rest – Rest days are the days where your body heals and rebuilds those microtears. They are just as important as your workout days.

FREQUENTLY ASKED PENIS STRETCHING QUESTIONS
How hard should I pull my penis when stretching?
The goal is to pull hard enough to stretch the tissues in the penis, but not hard enough to inflict pain. Finding the happy median comes with experience. At first, use gentle, easy penis stretches. After a few weeks, gradually increase the intensity.
What should I feel when doing penis stretching?
When stretching, people feel different things. During and after a stretch, it’s not uncommon to feel a slight tingling sensation, a sense of itchiness, or a feeling of fatigue in your penis. If you have any of these, you are on the right track. Additionally, some men claim to feel a minor burning sensation when stretching, analogous to the burning feeling acquired in certain muscles when doing high intensity body workouts.
Do not worry if you feel nothing; many men only feel the actual stretch.
Most importantly, you should not feel any pain. Pain is bad. If you feel any pain, stop stretching immediately— you are using too much intensity.
Pain does NOT equal gain in all penis exercises, including penis stretches.
When should I add different types of penis stretches?
Incorporating advanced penis stretches into your workout plan is a great way to increase the intensity. Some advanced stretches can be incorporated into your routine right away. Incorporate others after several months. Refer to our Advanced Penis Enlargement Exercises section for more information on increasing the intensity.
Does it matter where I grip when penis stretching?
No, as long as you do not directly grab the head of the penis, anywhere will work. If your grip the head of the penis, you are putting yourself at risk. The glans penis is the most sensitive part of your body, so treat it well. Grabbing an inch below the glans is most popular because it gives the least amount of skin stretch.
PENIS STRETCHING TIPS
Following are a collection of penis stretching tips, to help you ensure you’re getting the most from every stretch.
It does not matter if you stretch standing up or sitting down. The most important thing is that you are comfortable.
For the first 3-6 months, only stretch when completely flaccid. Avoid stretching erect as it is intense and thus more risky in the beginning.
Manual stretching and jelqing may cause red dots. These are normal. If you experience larger areas of discoloration or bruising, take a few days off to allow your penis to heal. This means you were not warmed up properly, or you stretched too strenuously.
Stretching is performed using your bare hands or an aide. For an aide you can use baby powder, rubber gloves, or a fabric of some sort, such as your old weightlifting shirt from high school.
You can learn more about stretching, how to implement it properly, and find over 15 stretching exercises in the book on penis enlargement, Penis Exercises, by Rob Michaels.
Big Al, of MaleEnhancementCoach.com, answers questions about erection maintenance and maintaining erection quality, in this Ask the Experts article.
If you have questions you’d like answered in an Ask the Experts article, please PM Kimberly at PEGym – KMWylie – and she’ll have the experts here on PEGym get your questions.
Q. I’mfacing a frustrating challenge in maintaining an erection during the Erect Kegel…
…Stop and Starts are usually OK, but many a times the erection refused to sustain through the period of the Stop and Starts as well. My sexual performance is good so I don’t know what the problem could be with my erection maintenance?
Big Al: Please note- performing for stamina exercises like Erect Kegels and Stop and Starts may be more challenging than performing during sexual contact due to the lack of stimuli. This is more a question of developing extra-normal discipline than something fundamentally EQ related.
What’s VITAL is for you approach your training in an objective manner and do your best to emphasize only positive emotional visualizations during your sessions. Remember- you’re not training to perform high reps of your exercises (this is incidental)- you’re using the exercises to help you towards your goals.
Stay at the 5 rep mark with your Kegels until you feel moire comfortable and can employ a 90%+ erection for each reps. Refresh your erections as needed up to 3 times during this exercise- and don’t just jump into your exercises once you get a 100% erection- spend a little extra time with the refreshing to ensure you can maintain the erection for longer periods. Some have mastered a way to stimulate DURING the Kegel without interfering with the form of the exercise. This may take some practice, though.
Q. There are just some days where my EQ is no good!…
Is there something I can do for those days where I’m just really tired or my EQ just can’t get high enough to perform some exercises, instead of taking the day off?
Big Al: We definitely want to see EQ going up as the cycle progresses. What we want to do is to see what patterns are developing (via the MeCoach journal) and what specifically is contributing to poor EQ on certain days. On days where you feel your EQ is fairly low, you might opt to perform light training and focus on EQ friendly activities like pumping and/or light jelqing. If your EQ is very poor, you can take the day off.
OK, we all know that smoking is bad for you. Smoking can cause:
Cancer
Heart disease
Emphysema
Stroke
COPD
Chronic bronchitis
In fact, according to the CDC, approximately 20% of people who die each year – die from a smoking-related cause. They note,
Smoking causes more deaths each year than the following causes combined:
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
Illegal drug use
Alcohol use
Motor vehicle injuries
Firearm-related incidents
More than 10 times as many U.S. citizens have died prematurely from cigarette smoking than have died in all the wars fought by the United States.1
Why is it any surprise than that smoking can also cause erectile dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, has many potential causes – both physical and psychological, and sometimes both. However, it’s important to talk about causes that we actually have control over.
Like smoking.
How Smoking Causes Erectile Dysfunction
The chemicals you inhale when you smoke are well known to harm your cardiovascular system. They damage your blood vessels’ lining and negatively affects their function. This damage prevents your blood vessels from pumping blood to all the parts of your body effectively… including the penis.
Your erection happens when the arteries in your penis expand and fill with blood. This expansion happens when the nerves in your penis receive stimulation. Even if your nerves are working properly, if your blood vessels are damaged and can’t properly expand, your erection won’t happen or will be very weak.
Research on Smoking and Erectile Dysfunction
Studies have repeatedly shown a direct correlation between smoking and an increased incidence of erectile dysfunction.
A 2005 study of 2,115 men showed those who had smoked had an increased incidence of erectile dysfunction, for the men between ages 40 and 79.2
In 2000, 513 men were studied, and it was found that “Cigarette smoking at baseline almost doubled the likelihood of moderate or complete ED at followup.”3
In 2001, found smoking impaired erection quality, by preventing the endothelium dependent smooth muscle relaxation. Researchers found that smokers were two times more likely to experience moderate to complete erectile dysfunction than non-smokers.4
Stopping Smoking Can Improve Erectile Dysfunction
The good news is research has shown stopping smoking can potentially help improve your erectile dysfunction.
A small 1998 study found, “Stopping cigarette smoking is a factor that rapidly improves penile tumescence and rigidity. Because the improvement continues while the patient is receiving nicotine from transdermal patches, some factor or factors other than the nicotine are responsible for the erectile dysfunction.”5
A 2004 study found that after stopping smoking for 1 year, more than 25% of study participants saw an improvement in their erectile dysfunction. The severity of the ED, age of the participant, and the amount the participant smoked prior to quitting were all found to be factors in whether or not they saw improvement.6
Lessons Learned
So, what have we learned?
If you don’t smoke — don’t start!
Stay away from second-hand smoke. Yup, even if you’re around people smoking, you’re breathing in those harmful chemicals.
If you smoke currently – stop.
If you stop smoking, you may see improvement in your erectile dysfunction. (Not to mention all of the other health benefits.)
Stopping smoking isn’t easy. Nicotine is an addiction. Don’t be afraid to get help. There are lots of products now available to help you kick the habit. Plus, you can always post on our Forums about your decision to stop, and our awesome community will be happy to help support you!

I’ll admit, I’m not the best about immediately seeking medical care when I notice something isn’t quite right. But, Neil Walker’s story about how a “harmless rash” actually turned out to be penile cancer is definitely a cautionary tale about the importance of getting to a doctor as quickly as possible. The spread of penis cancer eventually led to the amputation of his penis.
Neil Walker’s Cautionary Tale
The ex-firefighter noticed a discoloration and what he and his doctors thought was simply a rash on the tip of his penis. The doctor gave Neil a steroidal cream to treat it, but it didn’t work. A month later and the condition hadn’t cleared up. He (smartly) insisted his doctor perform more tests.
Lo and behold, it was penis cancer.
“I noticed a rash on the head of my penis and I was given steroid cream by doctors at first as no one thought it was anything too serious,” he said.
“It wasn’t until I returned again a month later that I was referred to the hospital and was told it was penile cancer. As soon as they told me I was shocked, because I thought it was just a rash but suddenly I was entering a battle with cancer.”
Penis Amputation
In an effort to stop the spread of the cancer, he had the tip of his penis amputated in 2014. Surgeons were able to recreate the glans, using skin from his leg. However, because he hadn’t received treatment early enough, two months later, he had to have the lymph nodes in his groin removed.
“This left me with nothing to fight off infection from the waist down, so I began contracting sepsis four times a year and constantly being on death’s door. Then, after thinking I was doing ok and completely on the mend, I noticed another rash on my penis in August 2017 and I knew the cancer had returned.
In this time, I also lost my eyesight in both eyes because of thrombolysis – which has caused complications with my further cancer treatment. In March this year, after more biopsies, I had to have my entire penis amputated and I now urinate out of a make-shift hole behind my testicles.”
Devastated, Neil now is using his story to help other men become more aware of this form of cancer, trying to bring some good out of his tragedy.
Signs of Penile Cancer
If you have any of these symptoms – GO SEE A DOCTOR. It may be nothing, but waiting can mean the difference literally between life & death.
A growth or ulcer on the penis, especially on the glans or foreskin
Changes in the colour of the penis
Skin thickening on the penis
Persistent discharge with foul odour beneath the foreskin
Blood coming from the tip of the penis or under the foreskin
Unexplained pain in the shaft or tip of the penis
Irregular or growing bluish-brown flat lesions or marks beneath the foreskin or on the body of the penis
Big Al, of MaleEnhancementCoach.com, answers questions about turtling and fatigue problems with the jelq-free routine, in this Ask the Experts article.
If you have questions you’d like answered in an Ask the Experts article, please PM Kimberly at PEGym – KMWylie – and she’ll have the experts here on PEGym get your questions.
Q. I’ve noticed when I run or workout in the gym my penis seems to shrivel up!…
…Is this turtling normal? Is there something I should be doing to counter this?
Big Al: It’s typical to note a temporary retraction of the penis during intensive physical exercise. This is a completely normal phenomenon as blood is drawn to the extremities during intensive exercise. During physical training it wouldn’t be feasible to do anything to counter this, but a light stretching or jelqing session- or even a hot soak performed immediately after your physical training should help to restore penile circulation.
Turtling may also be aggravate by stimulant use. If you use strong stimulants prior to your physical training workout this may contribute to the phenomenon- even well after your session has ended.
Q. I recently started your Jelq Free routine doing the minimum number of reps recommended. I’ve been using my ADS after training…
…but I appear to be more fatigued than ever! Can you recommend something different for my training so I don’t get so fatigued?
Big Al: Unless one has extreme turtling or are employing an All Day Stretcher (ADS) as the mainstay of a routine- or one is extremely advanced/condition and can benefit from a relatively large training load, a workout should be taxing enough to allow for full rest after a session.
Even if passive, an ADS can push one into overtraining if they’re already training at their limit. I suggest spending a few weeks establishing a baseline with the Jelq Free routine as is. If you still feel you can use a greater challenge then you have several options:
Accelerate the rate of rep increases per session or
Switch to more intense exercises or
Increase the frequency of your training (add more training days per week) or
Does jelqing work 2018?
Penis exercises have been around for centuries. Men have always wanted to maximize the size and the hardness of their manhood. However, in today’s information-driven world that is so easily accessible to anyone with an Internet connection, we can really find out —
Does jelqing work in 2018?
How Does Jelqing Work 2018?
Jelqing is a manual penis stretch exercise. Similar to the milking action used on cows, this slow, purposeful stretch creates microtears in the penis tissue cells. When the body repairs these cells, it creates new cellular tissue – which means you get a longer and thicker penis.
The thing I love most about the Internet is we now no longer have to rely just on one person or company to decide for ourselves if something is effective. Our member forum has over 167,000 members (as of Sept. 14, 2018) – and men can read directly what these guys have to say about their experience with does jelqing really work in 2018.
Well there is some scientific evidence that extenders work for real length gains.
That being said, I have never used an extender and have done a good deal of jelqing. I have gained almost two inches. (…)
Not jelqing alone. But jelqing as a key component of my routine.
Just about 3 years of jelqing related routines. Did 6 months no jelq. 3 months with jelq. 3 months jelq free. Since then, 2.5 years, include jelqing.

Members Not Seeing Results – Does Jelqing Work 2018?
Of course, there are members who have reported jelqing has not worked for them. Here are a few of those posts.
Member: Peterson1231234
Been jelqing 5-6 months and i feel like i’ve been jelqing only 1 week but time really flew fast and here i am with 0 gains. I want girth mainly so i start doing them when im a bit erect to when i go soft. I want to keep it safe with just jelqing so anyone has any ideas?
Member: 69inchfailzor
real talk i found jelqing to be a complete waste of time…. stretching is where its at. i think jelqing might only be good combined with a pump or something
Why Jelqing May Not Work for Some Men
It’s important to remember that just because someone didn’t get the results they wanted with jelqing, it doesn’t mean jelqing doesn’t work. When considering does jelqing working in 2018, you have to think about any body modification process – such as traditional diet and exercise.
A man goes to a gym and does some exercise – it doesn’t mean he’s going to necessarily reach his goals. A number of factors can lead to not being successful. Exercise intensity, quality, quantity, duration, etc.. These also hold true for jelqing and any other penis enlargement exercise.

What’s that in the sky? It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a Navy penis in the sky! Oh! Wait! It’s also an Air Force penis in the sky!
In the ultimate “Who’s dick is bigger?” contest – it looks like some of our noble soldiers are taking their penis comparison contest to the sky.
Check out the photos below and let us know which military penis is best!
Navy Penis in the Sky
It all started in November of 2017. Two Navy aviators of the Electronic Attack Squadron 130, also known as “The Zappers”, drew a giant penis in the air, over Washington State, using their EA-18G Growler.
The two Naval lieutenants ended up before a Field Naval Aviator Evaluation Board, after some local residents became upset by the giant dick overhead. They were disciplined and grounded, but names were not released to the general media.
Air Force Penis in the Sky
In an attempt to one-up Navy, Air Force responded with their own air penis in the sky, over Ramstein AB, in May 2018. A bragging post on Reddit claimed, “We have topped the navy on Ramstein AB. She was large and beautiful”
Now, don’t get me started on the fact that they referred to their Air Force penis in the sky as a “SHE”… but, in this photo it doesn’t look very phallic-like.
Thankfully, there was a better angle caught of the Air Force penis in the sky, that looks a lot more dick-like.
Which is the Better Dick? The Air Force Penis in the Sky or the Navy Penis in the Sky?
So, let’s leave it up to your decision, Dear Readers. Which penis in the sky do you think is better? The Navy penis or the Air Force penis? Check out the photos below and tell us in the comments below!
It’s the stuff of pop culture – open your e-mail inbox and find it overflowing with penis enlargement pills spam. Crazy claims like – “Get a larger dick in days!” or “Instantly gain 2 inches overnight!” – make you instantly throw those e-mails into the trash folder, but — Do penis enlargement pills really work?
Do Penis Enlargement Pills Really Work?
Do these pills, sometimes even promoted by big name people – like Dallas Cowboys Superbowl coach Jimmy Johnson, work? They’ve been around for decades, even buying mainstream media commercial time. Surely, if they were all bogus snake oil, they would’ve been debunked by now, right? Well…
Yes and no.
Penis enlargement pills do work… kind of.
What are Penis Enlargement Pills?
Penis enlargement pills are herbal, natural supplements that typically claim some sort of ‘male enhancement’ properties to make your penis longer and/or thicker. They are usually comprised of herbs designed to dilate blood vessels and encourage blood flow.
False Claims by Penis Enlargement Pill Manufacturers
Because there are limited regulations concerning herbal supplements, little to no testing is required. There is also no government agency ensuring these pills do what they say they do.
To make matters worse, ‘test results’ by the manufacturer can often be skewed. These, along with hand-picked customer reviews, are then used in marketing, giving the impression that their supplements are more effective than they really are. In fact, companies, like ExtenZe, have been ordered to pay millions of dollars to settle false advertising charges.
So, will you get a larger dick by just taking penis enlargement pills — no. Not over night. Not in a week.
Just, no.
Benefits of Penis Enlargement Pills
Although penis enlargement pills aren’t going to get you a bigger penis alone, they can be a useful part of your penis exercise routine for penis enlargement. The herbs often in these pills do have vasodilation properties. This increased blood flow isn’t enough to create the microtears needed, to encourage actual new cellular growth (and result in a truly larger penis). But, it can:
Help in the cellular recovery after manual exercises or exercising with penis enlargement devices, by encouraging increased blood flow.
Give a temporary harder erection, due to the increased blood flow.
Give a temporary increased flaccid size, due to the increased blood flow.
So, pick a good penis enlargement routine (the JP90 Routine is perfect for beginners), think about using a device, like a penis pump or penis extender, and if you’re going to take penis enlargement pills, just know they are supplements – not a get-huge-quick cure.
I love Batman. Like, if MrKimberly was going to do some role-playing, I’d want him to dress up as Batman. Dark, brooding, sexy, hero… yup. I LOVE Batman. And, for the first time — I’ve seen Batman’s penis!
But, Batman’s penis isn’t going to be around for long — and it’s sure to be the next comic book collectible!
DC Comic’s Black Label & Batman’s Penis
Batman: Damned No. 1, written by Brian Azzarello with art by Lee Bermejo, is DC Comics first Black Label comic. This new imprint promises “classy, collectible superhero stories aimed at mature readers looking to be challenged and surprised as they’re entertained.” With the notation that the characters do not share the same story line continuity as DC’s main universe, this is definitely going to give DC flexibility to develop those more mature story line arcs.
So, I guess it’s not too surprising that in the first issue ever – we get to see Batman’s penis.
At least in a few copies.
Let’s Look at Batman’s Penis
Let’s look at Batman’s penis. (There’s a phrase I never thought I’d type.) Once only a suggestive impressive bulge in his batsuit, we see his “Dark Knight” – albeit in shadow.
NSFW Warning
I’ll be honest, at first I had to search for his manhood. And, then was a little disappointed that it wasn’t just out there like Doctor Manhattan’s giant blue dick in Watchmen. But, it is there, and I think it was a bold move for DC to venture into more erotic artwork.
Apparently too bold.
The Removal of Batman’s Penis
Sadly, DC Comics decided to make Batman more modest. According to Comic Book Resources, the Batman’s dick has now been digitally censored because it was not “additive to the story”; in fact, “future printings of the issue will use the altered panels.”
Some think this is a clever marketing ploy by DC – instantly making penis-copies collectible and garnering buzz about their new imprint. (Obviously, that second part is true.) The one thing I know is in addition to get a fan-girl glimpse behind the batsuit, I’ve also been entertained by the social media posts that ensued with his “Big Bat’s” release.
Oh, thank you Apple for your latest iOS 12 addition – Measure… and the reinvention of dick pics! This new app is simple to use — point your iPhone’s camera at an object and VOILA! Measure gives you (not surprisingly) it’s measurement. You can now measure any object. A box. Your dog. A cup.
Your penis.
Twitter user @bobwclarke hits the nail on the head with his Tweet.
But, before you go thinking you can use Measure as you’re new means of tracking your penis enlargement progress, sorry – it’s too inconsistent and inaccurate. According to BGR, they received several different dimensions for the same object – if after the measurement for the object had already been recorded. So, although it may be a fun app to play with… and I’m sure Grindr is going to be getting a lot of Measure dick pics through its servers… you’re going to have to stick with the tried and true ruler & measuring tape measurements to accurately record your progress.
Are you still unsure of how to measure your penis properly? We have a series of How to Measure Your Penis videos! Yup – videos. Check them out here…
So, other than your penis… because I know there’s a ton of readers that have already unzipped their pants and given it a try… what are you using Apple’s Measure for?
Tell me in the comments section below!
Honestly, I can’t think of anything I want to measure – so wondering if it’s just a novelty app, or am I missing it’s usefulness?
Big Al, the Lead Trainer at MaleEnhancementCoach.com, gives an in depth male enhancement interview with Ruwan of Ruwando.com. Check out the four-part video series below.
I’m going to start this post with the fact that I hate the term “penis enlargement cream.” I think it’s misleading. And, I think there are too many unscrupulous manufacturers out there promising their cream is going to get you permanent penis enlargement results. The reality is penis enlargement creams are good at increasing bloodflow to the penis, which can give you a temporary size and erection hardness boost, but they alone do not result in permanent penis enlargement.
So, let’s call it male enhancement cream.
I think that’s more appropriate.

So, in addition to giving you a temporary size and hardness bump, thanks to vasodilators in the cream, male enhancement creams have moisturizers and can encourage cellular repair, after your penis exercises routine, to get the permanent results you want.
Of course you can buy pre-manufactured male enhancement creams, like VigRX Oil or ProSolution Gel, or, you can make your own!
DIY Male Enhancement Cream Recipe
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Always test your cream on a small patch of skin before using it in vast quantities. The inside of the wrist is usually a good test spot.
Wait 24 hours after test patch before full usage.
Never use ingredients that you’re allergic to.
When in doubt about an ingredient, ask your physician.
Begin your cream with a small amount of the active ingredients. Only after testing, should you increase the amount used.
If you change your recipe for any component, do a test spot again, prior to full usage.
Male Enhancement Cream Base
Your choice of your base for your male enhancement cream will depend on your own personal choice. Much of your choice may depend on what you have on hand or can easily purchase. Here are a few you can choose from. The purpose of the base ingredient is to not only deliver the active ingredients to the penis, but also act as a moisturizer.
Sunflower Seed Oil – Sunflower seed oil is a great base, as it contains several nutrients, including Vitamin E, A and B5.
.
Soybean Oil
.
Coconut Oil
Male Enhancement Cream Active Ingredients
The following ingredients are known to increase blood flow. Start with a very small amount of one or two of these ingredients. Choose which aspects are most important to you. You can always add more of an active ingredient, if needed. You can also add different ingredients, one at a time, if desired, after testing.
IMPORTANT: When changing your recipe, only make one change at a time, before testing it. This way if you encounter a sensitivity issue, you’ll know which ingredient or amount needs to be reversed.
Green Tea Leaf Extract – vasodilator to increase blood flow
.
L-arginine – vasodilator to increase blood flow .
Ginseng Extract – vasodilator to increase blood flow .
We talk a lot about jelqing here at PEGym. Why? Because it’s one of the easiest and most effective male enhancement exercises you can do. Jelqing is perfect for both beginner’s and advanced penis exercisers. Let’s take a look at jelqing tools, to see what works and what doesn’t work.

Jelqing Tools: Hands
Your hands are the jelqing tools most people think of when it comes to this very basic penis enlargement exercise. Here are the pros and cons of using your hands for jelqing.
Jelqing Tools: Hands Pros
You always have your hands with you, no matter where you are.
Your hands are free. No equipment to purchase.
You can easily vary the pressure with your hands.
Jelqing Tools: Hands Cons
Using your hands for jelqing can get tiring.
When fatigued, it may be difficult to get enough pressure for a proper jelq.
When fatigued, it may be difficult to have consistent pressure.
Tension on the skin can lead to discomfort.
The hands typically stretch mostly the skin, while the underlying tissues don’t get jelqed as effectively.
Jelqing Tools: Power J Gym
The Power J Gym is a jelqing tool used by more than 100,000 men around the globe. The traction control roller system actually jelqs the tissue under the penile skin, which is the tissue you need to exercise to get penis enlargement.
Max Out Jelqing Serum, by Bathmate, is a specially formulated lube and male enhancer all in one. It includes natural ingredients known to improve vasodilation as well as skin moisturizers.
It’s a bit like Jack and the Beanstalk. A stranger sells you some “magic cream.” Rub it on your penis, and VOILA! – a bigger penis! Except, unlike Jack, you don’t wake up to a huge beanstalk… you end up with a very similar penis, but with cream on it. Penis enlargement creams don’t work…
Kind of.

What are Penis Enlargement Creams?
Penis enlargement creams, sometimes known as male enhancement creams, are topical creams applied to the penis. They usually include vasodilator ingredients as well as moisturizing ingredients. To be sold over the counter, these ingredients need to be natural/herbal.
The vasodilators encourage bloodflow to the penis. This increased bloodflow can temporarily give you a larger and harder erection and a larger flaccid penis. However, the keyword there is – temporary.
This increased bloodflow isn’t enough to create the microtears needed, for permanent growth. But, these creams are good if you want a temporary boost.
Penis enlargement creams may not result in permanent penis enlargement, but they can be good for after workout care. The increased blood in the penis can help encourage new cellular growth, after you’ve performed penis exercises, like jelqingor penis stretching.
Which Penis Enlargement Cream is Best?
We have tested numerous male enhancement creams (seriously, I hate calling them penis enlargement creams, because I really do think it’s misleading), and have come up with a couple our testers have liked.
Prosolution Gel – Over 97% of men who have tried ProSolution Gel say it has made a significant, temporary difference in their erection size and sexual performance. .
Enlargel – Enlargel is not only a male enhancement cream, but also a great training lubricant for penile exercising. It helps increase hardness, penis length and penis girth. .
VigRX Oil – VigRX Oil improves circulation and blood flow to the penis, and create a base for greatly enhancing arousal and erection.
Big Al, of MaleEnhancementCoach.com, answers questions about penis measuring challenges, in this Ask the Experts article.
If you have questions you’d like answered in an Ask the Experts article, please PM Kimberly at PEGym – KMWylie – and she’ll have the experts here on PEGym get your questions.
Q. I’ve recently become obsessed with measuring and comparing my penis to others’…
…and to objects like bananas and deodorant cans. It’s become a growing dread and I’m finding myself unable to easily get erections to measure anymore. Is there something wrong with me?
Big Al: This habit is a potentially destructive one you’re going to need to break yourself of! For one, your penis is very likely not going to change in true size from one instance to the next, so measuring several times a day isn’t an accurate way to gauge progress. Second, the obsession in and of itself is obviously creating a negative conditioning effect. This will merely worsen with time if you continue with this practice.
The immediate solution would be for you to restrict yourself to measuring once every two weeks- if you’re training. Measure only under at least a neutral mind state so as to avoid any negative conditioning effects and to ensure you get the best possible erection level for your assessment. This may require the use of emotional visualizations exercises- like those recommended for the Stop and Starts/edging exercise.
Q. I’ve been keeping track of my measurements using the Bathmate penis pump.…
…When I compare them to measuring with a tape measure I get a totally different reading. I measure smaller in the pump than I do with the tape measure. Which way to measure should I use?
Big Al: Erectile fluctuation and the use of a comfort pad is likely going to give you a different reading than what you’d get during a standard measuring session using a tape measure. For the purposes of tracking gains, go with the tape measure option.
The Bathmate measure isn’t worthless, though- it can be used as a gauge for how intensely your pumping sessions are going. You’ll want to do your best to ensure your measure within the pump climbs as your training progresses.
Disgruntled worker or someone with a inappropriate sense of humor? We may never know. But, what we do know is the popular children’s television show, Maya the Bee, streamed in the United States by Netflix, had an episode pulled, because one of the animators included a penis drawing in one of the scenes.
Maya the Bee Penis: When Good Artists Go Bad
At just after the five-minute mark of Season 1, Episode 35, of Maya the Bee, we see Maya flying into the scene, through a hollowed out log. Apparently, one of the animators thought some virtual “tagging” was in order, on the relatively blank canvas of the inside of the wall.
So, he (or she) included a drawing of a penis.
The show, originally broadcast in Europe, is an adaptation of a 1912 children’s book by Waldemar Bonsels. It features a young bee named Maya. She travels from her hive making new friends and exploring the beauty and mysteries of nature. Surely, a graffiti penis on the inside of a log isn’t the “beauty” she was hoping for!
Parents around the country weren’t too happy about it either. Social media blew up with posts, like this one from this Twitter user @ArielWray:
The production group, Studio 100, issued a statement:
An absolutely inappropriate image has been discovered in a four-second fly-by scene in one episode of the total 78 episodes of the series. The origin of this image obviously results from a very bad joke from one of the 150 artists working on the production.
This is indeed unacceptable to the Studio 100 Group as owner of the brand and all its partners and doesn’t reflect the quality of its work and its values.
Legal action has already been started. Studio 100 very much regrets this incident and would like to offer its sincere apologies to all Maya the Bee fans. At the same time the company is taking all suitable technical measures to remedy the situation.
Sure, having a longer penis is great. In fact, a longer penis can help you get into sexual positions that a shorter penis just can’t take advantage of. However, a thicker penis is also a common male enhancement goal.
Penis stretching works by stretching the tissues of the penis. This stretching, when done at the right intensity, creates microtears in the cells of the penile tissue. When these microtears are repaired by the body, this creates new cellular tissue, which increases length and girth.
Penis hanging isn’t a new exercise. Men have used it for centuries, around the world. Sadhus, as an example, use it as a measure of spiritual enlightenment.

I’ll admit, I’m not the best about immediately seeking medical care when I notice something isn’t quite right. But, Neil Walker’s story about how a “harmless rash” actually turned out to be penile cancer is definitely a cautionary tale about the importance of getting to a doctor as quickly as possible. The spread of penis cancer eventually led to the amputation of his penis.
