Penis Smooth Muscle and Penile Exercising

How does smooth muscle tie into penile exercising? Well, considering the fact that penile exercising makes erections stronger, harder, and longer-lasting, it would make sense that penile exercising either creates more smooth muscle cells or causes the smooth muscles cells to grow.  Furthermore, for the penis to enlarge, the smooth muscle must enlarge too.

Also, because the penis is compromised of 50 percent smooth muscle, and smooth muscle has a lot of the basic properties of skeletal muscle, we can presume that smooth muscle might react to stress the same way normal muscle does. Which is a no brainer! What are we doing here? Exercising!  Moreover, nearly every single guideline we have is based off body-building/exercising/weightlifting concepts in one way or another. Think about it: Bib, presumably one of the biggest gainers of penile exercising, used a weightlifting concept known as "progressive overload." Peter Dick, another big gainer uses a common weightlifting program known as "muscle confusion" (in which he keeps his penis guessing, so it doesn't adapt). And more recently, we are realizing that cyclic training using deconditioning breaks helps us keep the penis in a responsive state. And cyclic training is a popular weightlifting principle (if not the biggest).

There is a difference between gym exercising and penile exercising, though.  When gym exercising, the gains are temporary.  Meaning, if you quit gym exercising, then the gains go away.  Penile exercising gains, on the other hand, are often permanent. And the permanency of penile exercising might be due to the smooth muscle. Think about it like this: the smooth muscle in the penis is exercised when we Jelq, stretch, and incorporate other exercises. These exercises take the penis (and the smooth muscle) beyond it's normal threshold. But what is the normal threshold? An erection. Masturbation, sex, and anything that involves an erection is exercise too. It's typically just not enough to cause growth. But it many instances, it's enough exercise to keep the gains permanent once they've already been cemented.

Either way, the penis is an extraordinary organ and penile exercising is an extraordinary process. No one is for certain how penis enlargement works, but it is probably much more simple than we think. By taking conventional wisdom (we know that muscle grows due to exercise) and comparing it to scientific facts (the penis is 50 percent smooth muscle and smooth muscle also grows due to stress) we can presume that the smooth muscle of the penis plays a key role in penis enlargement.
