u/CuriousNewbie · 400 upvotes · 6 days ago
Do penis enlargement exercises actually work, or is it all just internet myths? I keep seeing stuff about jelqing and stretches but don’t know what’s real.
u/StretchRoutine · 235 upvotes · 6 days ago
Some exercises can help a little. Manual stretching mimics traction devices. The gains are slow and modest, but with months of consistency, you might see change.
u/SkepticDude · 160 upvotes · 6 days ago
That’s the thing. Most people give up before any results show. If you’re expecting fast growth, you’ll be disappointed.
u/JelqStarter · 370 upvotes · 5 days ago
I tried jelqing for a few months. Didn’t notice length gains, but erections felt fuller and harder. Might be more of a performance thing than actual enlargement.
u/SafetyFirst · 210 upvotes · 5 days ago
Exactly. Jelqing improves circulation, but it comes with risks. Go too hard and you can injure yourself. Moderation is everything.
u/BeenThereToo · 135 upvotes · 5 days ago
I ended up with bruising once from overdoing it. Learned quickly that “gentle” means gentle.
u/LongGame · 345 upvotes · 5 days ago
The real gains come from patience. I’ve been doing stretching and light jelqing for 2 years. Added about half an inch in length, maybe a little girth. Not crazy, but real.
u/RespectTheGrind · 195 upvotes · 5 days ago
Props. Most people won’t stick with it that long. That’s why you rarely see honest results — everyone wants a shortcut.
u/StillTrying · 125 upvotes · 5 days ago
I’m a few months in and already want to quit. Posts like this keep me motivated.
u/PartnerPerspective · 310 upvotes · 4 days ago
From a woman’s view: my boyfriend does PE exercises. I can’t say he’s much bigger yet, but I noticed he lasts longer now. That alone made it worth it for us.
u/Appreciated · 180 upvotes · 4 days ago
Same here. My partner didn’t care about the ruler, she cared that I stopped finishing too fast. Exercises actually helped with control.
u/OldSchoolTrainer · 290 upvotes · 4 days ago
Been at this since the early 2000s. Stretching, jelqing, even experimenting with kegels. My takeaway? Kegels are underrated — stronger pelvic muscles help stamina more than anything else.
u/KegelConvert · 165 upvotes · 4 days ago
100%. Kegels don’t add size, but they make erections rock solid. Best “exercise” for performance, hands down.
u/FirstTimer · 365 upvotes · 6 days ago
Tried some stretching routines I found online. Only lasted a week before I got bored. Do people actually stick with this stuff for months?
u/PatientGuy · 225 upvotes · 6 days ago
Yep, it’s all about consistency. I’ve been at it for almost a year and gained a little length. Small progress, but enough to keep me going.
u/QuitEarly · 145 upvotes · 6 days ago
I couldn’t do it either. If you don’t enjoy the routine, it feels like a chore. That’s why most people drop out.
u/JelqDebate · 340 upvotes · 5 days ago
What’s the verdict on jelqing? Some swear by it, others say it’s dangerous.
u/TriedCarefully · 200 upvotes · 5 days ago
I saw girth improvements after a few months, but I was super cautious. Used light pressure and took days off when sore.
u/RegretIt · 135 upvotes · 5 days ago
I wasn’t careful and ended up with bruises. Freaked me out and quit right away. Not worth the risk in my opinion.
u/KegelFan · 325 upvotes · 5 days ago
I know people laugh at kegels, but honestly, they made my erections harder and improved stamina. Zero risk compared to other exercises.
u/AgreeingVoice · 180 upvotes · 5 days ago
Same here. Stronger pelvic muscles = better control. It won’t make you bigger, but it makes sex better.
u/UnderratedTruth · 125 upvotes · 5 days ago
Kegels should be part of every guy’s routine, whether they’re into enlargement or not.
u/StretchBeliever · 305 upvotes · 4 days ago
Manual stretching worked for me. I didn’t grow overnight, but after a year I had almost an inch more in length. Takes patience.
u/SkepticHere · 170 upvotes · 4 days ago
Respect. I tried stretches but gave up after 2 months. Maybe I didn’t stick with it long enough.
u/TruePatience · 120 upvotes · 4 days ago
Yeah, two months won’t do it. Think 8–12 months minimum for real change.
u/PartnerInput · 295 upvotes · 4 days ago
My partner does these exercises. Honestly, the biggest change I saw was confidence. He’s more relaxed in bed, and that’s better than a size boost.
u/ConfidenceMatters · 165 upvotes · 4 days ago
This! Confidence makes more difference than half an inch. Guys worry about numbers, but partners usually don’t.
u/StretchGoal · 380 upvotes · 6 days ago
Been doing stretches twice a day for 6 months. Gained about half an inch. Not huge, but real. Anyone else see similar progress?
u/SlowButSure · 230 upvotes · 6 days ago
That’s about what I got too. Half an inch in 6–8 months is normal. You won’t get miracle growth, but steady gains are possible.
u/NotConvinced · 150 upvotes · 6 days ago
I’ve been trying stretches for months and got nothing. Maybe I’m doing them wrong or not long enough.
u/JelqUser · 355 upvotes · 5 days ago
I tried jelqing carefully for a year. My girth improved a bit, but length stayed the same. Partner noticed the difference though.
u/PositiveResult · 200 upvotes · 5 days ago
That’s what I heard most — jelqing seems better for girth than length. If you’re consistent and careful, it can pay off.
u/SafetyWarning · 135 upvotes · 5 days ago
Just don’t overdo it. I tried too much pressure early on and ended up sore for weeks.
u/KegelConvert · 325 upvotes · 5 days ago
Not exactly enlargement, but kegels gave me way better control. Last longer, stronger finish, and my partner says she notices.
u/AgreeingUser · 180 upvotes · 5 days ago
Same here. Stronger pelvic floor muscles make everything more stable. No size gains, but huge performance boost.
u/FitMindset · 120 upvotes · 5 days ago
I’d say kegels are the most underrated exercise for men. Every guy should do them.
u/OldSchoolPE · 310 upvotes · 4 days ago
Been in the PE game since 2001. Tried jelqing, stretching, even bundled stretches. Gained almost an inch total over years. My advice: slow and steady.
u/RespectThat · 190 upvotes · 4 days ago
That’s dedication. Most guys expect quick results and quit. It’s like weightlifting — you need years, not weeks.
u/StillLearning · 130 upvotes · 4 days ago
I wish I had your patience. I always burn out after a few weeks.
u/PartnerVoice · 300 upvotes · 4 days ago
As a girlfriend, I’ll say my partner’s routine helped him more mentally than physically. He’s more confident and less anxious in bed. That’s the real gain.
u/Agreeable · 170 upvotes · 4 days ago
100%. Size differences are subtle, but the confidence boost is obvious. That alone makes it worthwhile.
u/NewRoutine · 365 upvotes · 6 days ago
Just started stretching and jelqing two weeks ago. No changes yet, but when do people usually notice results?
u/PatienceFirst · 225 upvotes · 6 days ago
Months, not weeks. Most guys see small changes after 3–4 months. If you quit early, you’ll never see anything.
u/SlowBuild · 150 upvotes · 6 days ago
I didn’t see real results until month six. Half an inch gain, but it felt huge to me.
u/JelqTrial · 345 upvotes · 5 days ago
I was curious and tried jelqing for three months. No size change, but erections felt stronger. Anyone else have that experience?
u/YesSameHere · 195 upvotes · 5 days ago
Yep. Jelqing seems more like a circulation booster than a size tool. The “bigger” feeling is from better blood flow.
u/SafetyNote · 130 upvotes · 5 days ago
Just remember injuries are real. Start slow and never do it dry. Lube is mandatory.
u/KegelWins · 320 upvotes · 5 days ago
Kegels don’t make you longer, but wow, they change stamina. I went from finishing in 5 minutes to lasting 20+. Total game-changer for performance.
u/PartnerApproved · 180 upvotes · 5 days ago
My partner thanked me for doing kegels. She noticed instantly. Stronger control made intimacy better for both of us.
u/NotTalkedEnough · 125 upvotes · 5 days ago
Agreed. People get obsessed with length and girth, but kegels give the best return on effort.
u/StretchOnly · 305 upvotes · 4 days ago
I skipped jelqing and just did manual stretches. Over a year, gained nearly an inch in length. Took dedication, but no injuries.
u/Respect · 175 upvotes · 4 days ago
That’s impressive. Most people can’t stay consistent for that long.
u/StillDoubtful · 120 upvotes · 4 days ago
I’ve tried stretches too, but it feels like pulling skin, not actual growth.
u/PartnerTake · 295 upvotes · 4 days ago
As someone dating a guy who does these exercises, I can say his confidence boost was bigger than the size change. He feels proud, and that makes a difference.
u/ConfidenceMatters · 165 upvotes · 4 days ago
Exactly. Half an inch means nothing compared to how he carries himself afterward.
u/ResultsHunt · 380 upvotes · 1 week ago
Has anyone here actually kept long-term gains from exercises, or does it all vanish if you stop?
u/StillHere · 235 upvotes · 1 week ago
I kept about half an inch even after quitting for a year. Daily stretches made the change stick.
u/BackToZero · 155 upvotes · 1 week ago
My gains faded after I stopped. Think it depends on how long you trained. Short-term routines = short-term results.
u/JelqBeliever · 350 upvotes · 6 days ago
I’ll defend jelqing. I swear it added girth over two years. Partner noticed too. Just takes patience and careful technique.
u/SkepticGuy · 200 upvotes · 6 days ago
Respect, but I think it’s placebo. I did it for months and saw nothing. Might help blood flow, but that’s it.
u/NeutralTake · 135 upvotes · 6 days ago
Probably works better for some than others. Tissue elasticity, age, and technique all matter.
u/KegelSupporter · 325 upvotes · 6 days ago
Everyone chasing size should also do kegels. Strong pelvic muscles help control, erections, and finishing power. It’s the one exercise that helps every guy.
u/AgreeingUser · 185 upvotes · 6 days ago
Couldn’t agree more. PE exercises are hit or miss, but kegels always pay off.
u/PartnerVoice · 130 upvotes · 6 days ago
My boyfriend started kegels. I can tell the difference in stamina — and so can he.
u/OldSchoolPE · 310 upvotes · 5 days ago
Been doing PE exercises since the early 2000s. I gained around 0.75 inches. Small, but real. Biggest lesson: it’s a marathon, not a sprint.
u/RespectTheGrind · 175 upvotes · 5 days ago
That’s the kind of patience most guys don’t have. Everyone wants fast fixes, but exercises demand years of effort.
u/QuickQuit · 120 upvotes · 5 days ago
I quit after two months. Reading posts like this makes me wonder if I just didn’t give it enough time.
u/FinalThoughts · 295 upvotes · 5 days ago
At the end of the day, penis enlargement exercises aren’t magic. Some men get modest results, some don’t. Confidence and skill matter more than chasing inches.
u/RealTalk · 165 upvotes · 5 days ago
Exactly. Half an inch means nothing if you’re insecure. Focus on confidence and performance — that’s what partners care about.
