Hand Exerciser

Since the Internet boom, countless Web sites, companies and blogs have claimed that exercises like the "jelq" can make your penis bigger and harder. As crazy as it may seem, thousands of men have anecdotally reported that jelqs and other exercises do work, although not as effectively as the companies claim (Add four inches in two weeks. Who are they kidding?)

The jelq is the first exercise that most men use to enlarge their penis. When done properly, the jelq also makes the penis firmer and harder. The origin of the exercise is unknown, although some speculate it is an ancient Middle Eastern exercise. According to author Gary Griffin, Sudanese Arab fathers taught their adolescent sons how to jelq in an effort to prepare them for manhood.

Regardless of where the jelq came from, penis enlargement doesn't happen overnight and in most cases require a brigade of exercises to add more than an inch.

One of the reasons I originally wrote Exercising the Penis was to not only dispel the confusion surrounding penis exercising and jelqing, but also to lay out the exercises that are safe and effective. Here's a quick overview of how to do the cornerstone exercise.

1 - WARM UP BEFORE JELQING

You'll want to warm up before you jelq. Whatever you do, don't skip this step. As one penis exerciser says, "Warming up is a lot like foreplay. If you take the time to do it right, you'll get the results you want in a quicker period of time."

Warming up involves applying heat to your penis for roughly five minutes. There are several ways to warm up. The most common ways include:

1. Getting a warm heating pad and wrapping it around your penis

2. Using a wash cloth that's been dipped in hot water and applying it to your penis

3. Taking a hot shower and letting the water directly hit your penis

2 - APPLY LUBRICATION

After you've warmed up, lather your penis with lubrication. Lubrication will allow you to effectively jelq your penis. The most common lubricants are baby oil and Vaseline.

3 - GET THE ERECTION LEVEL RIGHT

Once you've applied lubrication to your penis, it's time to get your blood flowing. You don't want an erection, but your penis should be between 50 and 75 percent erect. In other words, you want your penis to be between semi-soft and semi-hard (whatever you do, don't jelq with a full blown erection as it is potentially dangerous).

4 - GRIP YOUR PENIS

With either hand, use your thumb and pointer finger to create an OK-grip (if done properly, it looks as if you are giving someone the "OK" symbol).

Place the jelqing grip at the base of your penis. You want the grip to be as close to your pubic bone as humanly possible.

5 - JELQ AWAY

After the grip is in place, apply pressure to it and gently move it up your penis. The optimal pressure is light, yet effective at exercising the tissues within your penis.

Make sure to stop the jelq directly before you reach the head of your penis (do not jelq the head). The entire jelq should take two to three seconds.

6 - GOING AND GOING

After you've done one jelq, subsequently take your other hand and repeat the process. You'll want to switch hands every jelq rep until you reach your desired number of reps. For the first few weeks, do no more than 150 jelqs per workout.

SAFETY FIRST

Once you have the jelq down, you'll have to do the exercise on a regular basis to cause growth. That said, you shouldn't jelq every day - especially in the beginning.

One penis exerciser said it best, "your penis needs time and rest to rest to recover from the workouts. If you don't give your penis enough rest, then jelqing stops becoming healthy and starts becoming dangerous."

Just like exercising your muscles, how much you gain with jelqing and other penis exercises is largely based on how much you know. You can learn more about how to exercise the penis safely and effectively in the book Exercising the Penis Whatever you do, make sure you:

* Always warming up

* Be gentle with your grip and intensity

* Never jelq with a full blown erection

* Don't jelq the head of your penis

Aaron Kemmer has given lectures to sexual educations classes at the University of South Florida and has written extensively about male sexual health and penile exercising. Experts report that his new book, Exercising the Penis - How to Make Your Most Prized Organ Bigger, Harder & Healthier is 'the first of its kind' and 'a must have for any man who cares about his penis.'

Xtensor Gamer Hand Exerciser $39.99 You've got the greatest gaming rig out there. You've spent a lot of money on it - now it's a monolithic liquid-nitrogen-cooled monstrosity capable of pumping out smoother 3D video than real-life. Your pointing device is sensitive to a billion dpi, and your keyboard has a customized throw-distance tuned exactly to your finger length. After all this effort, you still get pwned by n00bs. What's the problem? Your rig may be awesome, and your brain may be sharp and quick, but if your body doesn't respond to your brain's commands correctly, you may as well be playing with mittens on. You need physical conditioning, Daniel-san, and there'll be no wax-on-wax-off, no sand-o-floor, no paint fence. The Xtensor is the only product on the market to perform with true biomechanical correctness, able to stimulate muscles and tendons in the hands, wrists and elbows that have been virtually off limits to all other devices. Repetitive gripping and squeezing of your game-controller or mouse forces extended isometric contractions of the flexor muscles of the hands and fingers producing an unnatural imbalance over time as the hands operate in a mostly closed position. For this reason, patients with hand, wrist and elbow disorders experience unnecessarily long healing times and high reoccurrence rates. Everybody got that? Flexing with the Xtensor between gaming sessions will make your reaction-times much quicker, and will mean no cramping hands after all-night fragging sessions.
