Sexual Enhancement Methods (Penis Enlargement / Erectile Dysfunction / Stamina)

Tools

There are numerous tools available to improve sexual performance. They include;

Penis Extenders

 Penis Enlargement     Instruments    Yes

While there has been a debate on the viability of penile extenders for the longest time, a study conducted a few years ago found that the participants’ penis increased by more than 1.5 cm after three months of extender use. And although the results might not be as instant as most men would prefer, the gradual increase is good. 

According to a research published in the British Journal of Urology, penis extenders such as Size Genetics can effectively increase the length and circumference of the penis. The website of Size Genetics claims to have added 1.6 inches to the length of the penis and 0.4 inches to the circumference. According to the report, the study involved 15 men who used the device for six months, increasing traction (the weight of the stretched shaft) from 1.3 pounds to 2.6 pounds during that time. The men in the study had a 0.9 inches increase in the length of their non-erect penises. But some doctors say more research is needed, explains urologist Leslie Deane. “there is a small amount of evidence that may lead to an increase in length and circumference, but it doesn’t lead to a person who is 4 to 7 inches long.

To demonstrate the effectiveness of the product, one of the SSD founders conducted a hands-on trial using a penile extender for six months. The result was a 0.4 inches increase in the flaccid and a 0.5 inches increase in the size of his erect penis. The conclusion is that the effects of penile extenders vary from person to person, but are generally effective.

Therefore, we recommend the use of this product.

Pro Tip; some of these tools might cause tissue damage when used recklessly. For instance, when using the penis extender, penis pump or penis weights, we recommend taking small breaks in between your sessions to allow blood to flow back and avoid tissue damage. 

Vacuum Penis Pumps

 Penis Enlargement     Instruments    No

Probably the most common tool among men, penis pumps work by creating a vacuum around your penis to draw extra blood into it. Simply stick your penis in and create enough vacuum to get you started and clamp a tight ring to contain the blood. With the ring on, you can enjoy 20-30 minutes of explosive sexual performance.

All vacuum penis pumps carry risks and side effects excessive pumping is one of the most common ways to damage the penis both types of pumps are fitted with safety guards to help prevent this.

Hydro Penis Pumps

 Penis Enlargement     Instruments     Yes

Hydro penile pumps generally differ from vacuum penis pumps in that they use water instead of air to drive blood to your penis, which minimizes pressure on the penis and produces a more even distribution of pressure. Before placing a hydro penis pump over the penis, it should be filled with water to pump blood to your penis through suction that forces water out of the device, thereby causing the penis to become engorged.

Traditional vacuum penis pumps usually have a pressure gauge that shows the pressure level and it’s your responsibility to understand your limits and make sure you don’t exceed them. The first thing to consider is that if you’re doing too high, there’s no easy way to release pressure quickly. Hydro penis pump is better because the design will automatically limit its maximum vacuum pressure if you accidentally overpressure, its single-finger valve will immediately release the pressure so that you can use the function without fear of damage.

Continuous use of a hydro penis pump 3-5 times a week for six months may result in penis growth. Some users report length and circumference results after six weeks of use, and these benefits may be permanent.

The best hydro penis pump in the market is Bathmate’s Hydromax. It’s an effective, simple and safe way to build up major gains. The easy-to-use Bathmate Hydro Series is the perfect starting point. When you’re in the shower or bath, just add water, attach the pump and press down to create a vacuum.

Sex Dolls/Toys

 Erectile Dysfunction   Stamina    Premature Ejaculation   Toys  Sexual Health   Yes

Using a sex doll or sex toy allows you to learn more about yourself and how to control ejaculation. Unlike a human partner, you only think about yourself here and there’s no pressure to perform. This way, you can relax and learn a thing or two on how to control the experience and when to take your foot off the gas pedal and get things in order if need be. 

Many times problems with performance in bed are caused by “over-thinking”, and taking your time with a love doll will help you control your thoughts and do things at your own pace, which in turn means learning what it is you like and how you like to make love. When you are with a sex doll, you only think about yourself because you don’t have to worry about the dolls emotions or reactions to your performance. Having this time to focus on yourself will make you a better lover long term. You’ve heard it before and its true, you can’t love someone else until you love yourself. This also applies in the bedroom, you can’t please someone else, until you know how to please yourself. So get practicing and build that confidence back up!

Penis Hanging Weights

 Penis Enlargement     Instruments   No

Hanging weights under your flaccid penis can get you a few extra inches. And just like any other tool or technique, you’ll require a great deal of dedication and the results won’t come overnight. In fact, you might have to wear a hanging penis weight for 6 hours a day for 6 months before seeing the results.

If the weight is not used properly, it can cause considerable damage, such as torn ligaments, bruises, cuts and even scarring of the penis. Sometimes blood flow to the penis can also be stopped without proper medical supervision, which can easily lead to permanent damage to the penis.

Techniques

Exercising & Staying Active

 Erectile Dysfunction   Stamina   Sexual Health   Exercises  Yes

Living a sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of getting diseases such as diabetes, heart complications, and high blood pressure. These lifestyle diseases, in turn, damage the nerves and affect blood flow to your penis, thus making it hard for you to maintain an erection. According to specialists, a 30-minute a day exercise session can improve your general health and accustom your body to the toughness that you’ll need to last longer in bed. 

Exercising does wonders to your heart’s health and simple routines like an evening swim or jog can improve your libido immensely. Additionally, exercising helps with mental health. How? You might be asking. Well, maintaining an exercise routine helps to tone the body as you’d want thus helping you love your body even more. This ultimately helps to build up your self-esteem and reduce anxiety naturally.

Kegel exercises

 Erectile Dysfunction   Premature Ejaculation   Exercises  Yes

Kegel exercises are helpful in treating urinary incontinence in men. It can also help reduce premature ejaculation and increases sexual satisfaction. Kegel exercises help to tighten the pelvic floor muscles, which control not only the bladder but also sexual function. And just like the regular body exercises, you need to slot in Kegel exercises in your daily routine. What’s more, you can do these exercises from anywhere and you don’t have to halt whatever you’re doing. Whether you’re brushing your teeth, sitting in the office, or going through your social media before leaving bed; just do it! 

To get started;

• Identify the right muscles – stop urinating in midstream and you’ll notice the muscles on your perineum stretching.  Now, those are the target muscles. 
• Simulate the ‘stop urinating in midstream’ action repeatedly to work out the pelvic floor muscles (hold in for 3 seconds and release for another 3 seconds)
• Perfect your technique, maintain focus, and be consistent (at least 3 sets of 10 reps a day)

Invest in foreplay

 Stamina   Toys   Techniques

According to a 2017 study, 7 in 10 women require, more than penetration to orgasm. Further research indicated that even for women who were fine with intercourse only, clitoral stimulation improved the orgasms. This statistic shows the importance of foreplay if you want to make your partner happier and elevate the experience. 

There’s a variety of ways to invest in foreplay, including bringing in sex toys and using BDSM furniture. Moreover, you can use kitchen supplies like honey or whipping cream to enhance foreplay. 

Practice the start-stop technique

 Premature Ejaculation   Exercises  Yes

The start-stop technique is a medieval technique that is still in use and very effective in helping men last longer. To use, simply pause or completely stop sexual activity just when you’re about to ejaculate. Relax and start over slowly stopping to delay ejaculation whenever it feels imminent. Over time, the body becomes accustomed to holding off ejaculation even during intense sexual activity. 

This technique can also be used during masturbation. You see, unbeknownst to many, controlled masturbation can help you last longer in bed. However, you have to train on how to last as long as you’d like to with a partner. Just masturbate, using the non-dominant hand to play with your testicles and stimulate your prostate.  Remember, to take breaks when ejaculation feels imminent and start over when the tension is managed. 

Manage your Anxiety Levels

Testosterone-Booster

 Erectile Dysfunction    Premature Ejaculation   Stamina   Herbs    Yes

Herbs are really helpful for boosting sexual function. Different herbs also have different functions, so many times you need to take several different herbs at the same time to get the obvious benefits, but it’s not easy to buy and take them all at once. So there are products called testosterone-booster that adds multiple herbs in the same pill.

Therapy

Most sexual enhancement methods revolve around body training and food intake. However, in severe cases, therapy and medical intervention may be necessary, especially when there are multiple underlying problems. 

Therapy

 Erectile Dysfunction   Premature Ejaculation  Sexual Health  Therapy    Yes

Therapy involves the use of Fleshlights and other sex toys to train the body to withstand the urge to ejaculate. As discussed earlier, the start-stop technique is an ideal starting point to behavioral therapy and it comes with immense benefits. In fact, some men go as far as adopting the renowned Masters and Johnson’s squeeze technique which is more or less similar, but with a little squeezing action below the head of the penis to revert the blood back. 

Medication

In cases where performance doesn’t improve after behavioral therapy, we recommend trying the different medications available. Mostly, medical intervention is advised when the underlying problem is either erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation. There are numerous options for you and the extent of your condition and personal preference will determine what is ideal.

Avanafil (Stendra)

 Erectile Dysfunction    Medication

Avanafil is approved for erectile dysfunction by the FDA. Avanafil acts by inhibiting a specific PDE5 enzyme found in various body tissues, primarily in the corpus cavernosum penis. The advantage of Avanafil is that it works very quickly compared to other PDE5 inhibitors. It can be quickly absorbed by the body, reaching its highest serum concentration in about 30 to 45 minutes and about two-thirds of the participants were able to have sex within 15 minutes.

Common side effects of Stendra include: headache, dizziness, flushing (redness or warmth in your face, neck, or chest), cold symptoms (stuffy nose, runny nose, sinus pain, sore throat), diarrhea, constipation, stomach upset, back pain, upper respiratory tract infection, influenza, bronchitis, joint pain, or high blood pressure.

Sildenafil (Viagra)

 Erectile Dysfunction   Medication

Sildenafil, sold under brands such as Viagra, is used to treat erectile dysfunction in men (inability to maintain a satisfactory erection to complete intercourse). Its effects usually take less than 20 minutes and last for about two hours. Common side effects include headaches, heartburn and flushed skin. It is recommended that those with cardiovascular disease be aware of rare but serious side effects including prolonged erection, possible penile damage, visual impairment and hearing loss. Sildenafil works by blocking phosphodiesterase 5(PDE5), an enzyme that promotes the breakdown of cGMP, which regulates blood flow in the penis

Tadalafil (Cialis)

 Erectile Dysfunction   Medication

Tadalafil is a PDE5 inhibitor that increases blood flow to the penis through sexual arousal and also dilates pulmonary blood vessels, thereby reducing pulmonary artery pressure. Tadalafil is marketed as Cialis and is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and pulmonary hypertension. The drug usually takes effect within half an hour and can last up to 36 hours. Common side effects include headache, muscle pain, skin flushing and nausea. It is recommended that those with cardiovascular disease be aware of rare but serious side effects including prolonged erection, possible penis damage, visual impairment and hearing loss.

Tadalafil is not recommended for people taking nitroglycerin or other nitrosating vasodilators, as this can lead to a severe drop in blood pressure. Tadalafil is approved in the United States for medical use in the United States and in the United Kingdom, where it can be used as a generic drug.

Vardenafil (Levitra, Staxyn)

 Erectile Dysfunction   Premature Ejaculation   Medication

Vardenafil, a PDE5 inhibitor used to treat erectile dysfunction, is sold under the trade names Levitra,Staxyn and Vivanza

The indications and contraindications for vardenafil are the same as other PDE5 inhibitors which are functionally associated with sildenafil citrate (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis). Vardenafil’s relatively short effective time is comparable to but somewhat longer than sildenafil’s. In addition to indications for erectile dysfunction, vardenafil may be an effective treatment for premature ejaculation, where it may significantly increase the time from penetration to ejaculation.

Common adverse drug reactions (side effects) are the same as other PDE5 inhibitors. The common side effects of vardenafil are nausea. The less common side effects are abdominal pain, back pain, photosensitivity, abnormal vision, eye pain, facial edema, hypotension, cardiac lp, tachycardia, arthralgia, myalgia, rash, pruritus, and penile dysfunction
