Lots of people are taking advantage of all this extra time at home to start new workout plans and improve their health. Why not consider giving a little of that extra time to someone who is probably feeling a little less buff than usual? Yes, your penis. Now is a great time to pump your penis up with a little stretching and exercise to prepare for all that summer loving that (hopefully) will start to open up again soon. Here’s your primer on getting your willy in shape for a smokin’ summer.

Do Men Really Exercise Their Members?

Yes, yes they do, and they’ve been doing it for a long time. And we aren’t talking the nudge-nudge-wink-wink penis push-up. We are talking legit exercises. Men in Asian and African cultures have been doing special stretching exercises for centuries to preserve penis length by elongating the penile tissue.

What Benefits Come with Regular Penile Health Exercises?

Let’s talk motivation, aka, why you should do regular penis exercises. Ready for a lot of reasons you should commit to a few minutes each day of stretching your schlong? Well, here they are:

- Penile exercises preserve penis length by keeping tissues in the member healthy and oxygenated.

- You’ll find yourself having more intense orgasms.

- Expect health benefits like better function in the prostate and urinary system.

- Say goodbye to constipation-related discomfort!

- A little penis stretching has been shown to increase sperm production, which is great news for those wannabe dads out there.

- And the final benefit of doing penile exercises is…having more sexual stamina and improved performance.

Three Power-Up-Your-Penis Exercises

For best results, perform these three sets of exercises daily as directed. While they can be done almost anywhere, choose a private area that allows plenty of freedom of movement, and ideally with a mirror to ensure you are doing them properly. Also, unless the exercise specifically says otherwise, all of these exercises should be done with a flaccid, unexcited penis. And for the guys still rocking their foreskin, be sure to gently pull it back before starting your exercise session.

Penis Exercise #1: The Pump

For this exercise, men can have a semi-erect or flaccid penis – whatever feels best for him. Hold the penis with both thumbs over the shaft together and the rest of the fingers underneath to support it. Then move the skin back towards the body for ten seconds. Be sure to treat the penis gently and don’t impede circulation. Repeat this multiple times with a pumping action. Over time, aim to pull it back a little further to get better results, but always be gentle and mindful when handling the goods.

Penis Exercise #2: The Up-Down-Side-to-Side

Holding the head of the penis with your hand, gently pull the penis skyward, and hold in position for ten seconds. Next, pull it downward for ten seconds. Following the same motion, go right for ten seconds and then left for ten seconds. For best results, do this circuit once or twice a day for up to five minutes.

Penis Exercise #3: The Accordion

This one is a little trickier than the others but think of it like an accordion player wandering through an Italian restaurant. Start by holding the head of the penis in one hand and gently pulling it away from the body. Do this for a count of five, three times. Then still holding the head with one hand, position the other hand on the higher end of the base of the penis and pull it toward the body for a count of five, three times. Now gently, very gently, pull in both directions simultaneously for a count of three and then retracting for a count of two, like an accordion. Feel free to move your hands to get the best positioning and the best gentle stretch. Do this daily for a minimum of two minutes.

After all that exercise, a penis can use some extra TLC. Follow up this penile pump up with a specially formulated penis health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) to further encourage elasticity and muscle tone. This type of crème also heals and rejuvenates the penile skin for soft skin and a stronger member by way of vitamins A, B, C, and E. This crème is specifically created delicate penile skin to strengthen it while infusing it with youthful bounce.
