Why is there no talk about this?

Hey guys. I have been doing my research trying to find anything new to keep in mind or try and it occurred to me that I don’t remember reading much, or anything, about the importance of HYDRATION. Hydration has always been a keystone in my PE so I thought I would share it with others. I find my penis is much more flexible, stretchable and reacts better to PE if I’m properly hydrated. I will drink 8-12 oz of water 30-45 mins before a PE work out. It has a similar effect as a good warm up. If you combine the two you should notice an improvement in your PE if you don’t normally pre-hydrate. If you have noticed some days you aren’t as PE ready after a proper warm up than I would suggest slamming a bunch of water and try your warm up again in 30 mins to 1 hr. Yeah, you will have to urinate soon after but atleast your PE is actually doing some good.

I also will use the urination effect in my favor. I will clamp the head while 100% flaccid and do Orange bends while there is urine in the shaft. This allows you to do light pressure bends from the inside out that focuses on tissues without having blood in it. It feels like a tissue only bend that plumps up the girth right away. I’m not sure if the gains are permanent but its good a pre sex exercise. Just have a fluid absorbent material at your head when you unclamp and a toilet nearby. :)

Be careful with this. Urethra diameter and the content of the urine, which changes depending on what was consumed, as well as how long, hard and often you do this can put you at risk for a Urinary Tract Infection.

I like the outside of the box thinking. Hydration does work. Thinking about it, days I hit the water bottle hard do go better. Just be careful using Urine to bend.

I actually read the hydration story fairly frequently, especially combined with the L-arginine supplementation. As for me, the IR lamp I use for warmups is really hot so I drink 500-600 ml of water during every workout. I’m not sure about the effects on PE but I do always notice that the largest flaccid happens when urinating. That’s probably a sign of… somethin’

@ Thoughtfulgold- Thanks for the advice, I will keep that in mind. I don’t do it as a part of my routine, only when it comes as a side effect, then I just take advantage of the circumstances. I also limit it to a short period of time (2-5mins), otherwise the pressure goes above what I am comfortable with.

@ CrusherBrooks-The L-arginine uses the water in your system. I focus of over-hydration and do my PE when I first notice that I am fully Hydrated. In my opinion it is just as important, or more so, than warming up with a hot pad, lamps, etc. The hydration naturally warms you up and provides water to all of your cells. All types of tissues cells require proper hydration.

I am really shocked that proper hydration isn’t promoted as a necessity in proper warm-ups and for consistency with PE. I read that some days guys just don’t feel the same “stretchiness” or pliability and on those days they don’t feel the PE was as good and the “hang” isn’t as good. Well they are all missing out on the benefits of proper hydration!

IMHO I feel like proper hydration should be #1 in everyone’s PE routine. Give it a try and thank me later. :O)

Man, you are correct. I just always forget but now I’ll make it part of my routine.

Thanks for the reminder.

There’s been a decent amount on here about how important being hydrated is in terms of the flaccid hang and overall health. I’m not sure if there is a specific thread dedicated to it. But yes, plenty of benefits.

No prob ED726 :)

I haven’t read much or any threads about hydration and I noticed that hydration isn’t included in any of the warm up routines, beginners guide or any guides at all. You always read about how proper warming of the penis is such a big deal but nothing about hydration, which provides similar results but is much more important because it promotes more blood, healthier cells, etc. So I decided to bring it up to everyone’s attention.

I just wondered why it isn’t included in everyone’s guide and hallmarked as a cornerstone for proper PE workouts. Its probably the most important nonphysical thing you can do to make gains. We are 70-80% water and every cell in our body relies on being hydrated to function properly and be healthy. Breathing exercises are another. We must have a proper amount of oxygen in our blood to carry to our cells to function properly. 3 mins without air or 3 days without water you die.

Just trying to share and help others cover the basics to get the most gains. Sometimes its easy to overlook/forget the obvious and most important stuff.

I think there are several reasons for hydration not being Explicitly present in many threads. Proper hydration is paramount to proper diet (usually mentioned on the side of sufficient exercise, too) an this is a more common field of interest than PE. This is a PE forum after all, by no means should anyone use the information here without laying it on top of a foundation of common sense.

I feel I have to correct you on several things though. First off, drinking ‘more’ is not necessarily a good thing. I’m not talking about acute water poisoning which should be very rare, but drinking too much consistently is harmful to the kidneys and cardiovascular system. If during several of your bathroom visits per day your urine is completely devoid of colour, you’re drinking too much water and it’s now considered harmful waste. Secondly, our (male) body water average lies in the range of 58 +- 8%, not 70-80% as you stated (check the reference Wikipedia gives for it, study of 458 adult males). It’s a little old so the numbers should be lower now with increasing obesity and whatnot. Third, breathing exercises are not related to the oxygenation of the blood but to the neurophysiologic state of the brain. That “survive” or “reproduce” you’re talking about is most likely the difference between the two antagonistic states of our nervous system; Orthosympathetic and Parasympathetic. The former promotes all your “survive” stuff. It is induced by stress, anxiety, exercise etc. The latter is the relaxed state. This is what breathing exercises and other relaxation practices influence, but the oxygenation of the blood isn’t one of them.

Sorry if I sound harsh, but I felt this should be scrutinized. I’m sure you have the best intentions.

More on the topic of the OP; to what extent have you compared pre-hydrating vs not pre-hydrating? As you say it’s not usually mentioned explicitly, whereas I think there’s been a little bit of a body of knowledge wrt warmups, now. Just trying to gauge how much of this is personal observation and how much is consistent for a larger group of people.

For the hydration to work, one of the requirements is the potassium-sodium balance. Nowdays this scale tends to favor the sodium, because salt and processed food contains tons amount of it. Fruits and vegetables comes along as potassium sources, things that most don’t have the habit to ingest.

This scale should be leaned towards the potassium and the current recommendation, according to The American Heart Association, is:
Sodium: 1.500 mg;
Potassium: 4.700 mg.

On the long run, when the sodium overtakes the potassium, one of the consequences are heart conditions (erectile dysfunction is also on the potential list). When the potassium is high and sodium is low, we can face hyponatraemia.

Extreme restrictive diets could turn things ugly, because we will be flushing down, in the urine, both of these minerals, without replenishing then.

So this balance is essential for the proper cell environment and since the penis is part of the body and share the same system, it counts. I’m currently taking about 3,8 liters of water daily, watching closely my diet. A constant flaccid state, even on cold days, was noted.

Hope this helps.

I did this and caused irritation in the urethra and prostate. Be careful. If it gets hard to pee, cease and recover. Great effect on the vein, but too high risk for my body. No more for me.

Also, mostly I did this with hard squeeze and edge. I am a water hound. My super hero name would be Captain Hydration. Water everywhere. But mind the irritation. I was pissing glass for a few days through my huge vein.

@CrusherBrooks

I figure that we are here to learn and help others on routines, ideas, techniques, exercises, etc with an end goal of the most effective and efficient way of permanently increasing the flaccid and erect size of your penis and the best EQ possible. Proper hydration is essential to all aspects of the human body so why not mention it? Its obvious that being properly hydrated improves all aspects of associated with being healthy, cellular repair, exercise and well.. Everything. Because its common sense? When my penis is cold it shrinks up and pushes the blood out of it. The ligs and tissues are more tense because they are drawing the penis close to the body to keep it warm. Any guy who has ever had a cold pecker would attest to that nugget of info about as common sense as you can get. So its just a logical assumption that when my penis is nice and warm the penis fills with blood much more than when its cold, thus the ligs, tissues, glands etc are more pliable and in a much better condition for PE. Again, pretty common sense stuff there. But you always read about how warming your penis up real good is imperative to a proper PE routine. Now, the difference in the flaccid condition between being properly hydrated and in a more dehydrated state is similar in its effects on the penis than that of heat and the effect directly corresponds to the amount of difference (I.e. More heat, larger flaccid and workable state, more properly hydrated, larger flaccid and workable state)., not to mention all of the other benefits being properly hydrated provides. Applying direct heat to an area provides much more direct and obvious effects, but the of effects of proper hydration vs. Not as properly hydrated takes more time to witness the effects, and thus one could argue it would not be nearly as much of a “common sense” practice to promote for proper PE routines. So.. I really don’t understand your argument.

Well if you think proper hydration is such common sense that its not even worth mentioning in a PE guide, why bother to bust my balls about a statement I make about “drinking “more” water”?? Its already common sense to keep properly hydrated so why should I take the time to search Wikipedia (which isn’t the most correct informational source) and write an article explaining HOW to hydrate properly, how to not hydrate too excessively, what diet to have in order to properly retain the water on a cellular level, etc? C’mon.. Hydration is common sense, so why do you feel the need to add anything about excessive hydration?

And whats with the water percentage in the latest study?? You labored on your keyboard searching Wikipedia to argue about a 12-22% difference of a moot point that doesn’t even effect the validity of my initial argument? Wow. The point was that we are mostly water and that water/proper hydration is vital to our health and should be an essential part of any PE routine. Why even take the time to “correct” me about a 12% difference in some “study” that you found on Wikipedia some person wrote about in their spare time, of something that really doesn’t matter to begin with and won’t even affect my initial argument?

As far as the breathing exercise you say that breathing doesn’t provide your body with oxygen ad is only good for relaxing into a calm state? So all the times that I trained with a certified trainer lifting weights and they gave me advice about correct breathing exercises to ensure proper oxygen levels they were trying to get me into a relaxed state before I strained my muscles to the point of causing significant permanent damage in the form of micro tears? Yeah, ok. Oh, and the breathing exercises I was taught by a veteran special forces Ranger for effective oxygen management during combat and hand to hand combative situations must have been to teach me to be in a relaxed state and nothing to do with supplying proper amounts of oxygen to your body to prevent fatigue, promote a healthier cellular environment and all the rest of the benefits of breathing in oxygen properly provides. Um, hum. No, they all must be wrong because your “correcting” me and found an excuse to do a Google search and use big words like Orthosympathetic and Parasympathetic.

No, actually it doesn’t sound harsh. It sounds more like you feel threatened that you have never thought about the positive effects proper hydration may have on PE and the increase in gains, or at least accelerated gains, it could provide. Not to mention the fact that you are a senior member and have probably been around here for quite some time on your high horse trying to make it appear like you are so much smarter than everyone else with all of your big words and correcting people but never even thought to promote and encourage proper hydration as an important part of consistent PE and possible way to encourage more gains more quickly. Now, I’m sorry if this sounds harsh but I felt that I must scrutinize your comments and point out the obvious flaws in your so-called “corrections” and bring to the surface your true intentions behind your attack. But Thanks, I do have the best intentions. :O)

Well, I don’t know about you but I have had my penis my entire life so I would say the extent of comparison between the condition of my penis when I am not properly hydrated and when I am properly hydrated is pretty damn extensive, back up by about 34 yrs of observation and at least 26 years of consistent hands-on study and research.. And even quite a number of 3rd party blind studies. I have no intent to do any personal research into the consistency of hydration vs penis condition and even one other male, let alone a large group. I am confident that it is universal considering the “common sense” attributes and positive effects proper hydration provides and the knowledge of how proper hydration of the body works.

:::D rops the mic:::

Thanks, Lenny. It does help. It is right in line with the research I did as well. The information that the healthcare studies provides changes surprisingly often but its good to know some of it hasn’t changed.. Yet. I was reading about the scientific studies about cellular hydration and was surprised to learn that it is still a huge focus because they STILL don’t completely understand how or why cells don’t hydrate properly. But I guess some information is better than non at all. Then I got to reading about the different structures of water and how some structures of water are more beneficial and hydrate better than other structured water. I wonder if there will be a day when we will walk in to a Water Store and ask the Water Consultant to point you in the direction of the best water to make your dick bigger lol “I will take the whole stack of cases, please. I brought my own dolly.” Lol

Thanks for that info. I will put that one in my notes lol I have really just given the ol’ shaft a light bend until I feel a little bit of pressure. I figured that it provided a pressure that I couldn’t get in any other way so it might improve some aspect in some way. Now that I have heard your story, although yours was probably more intense bending exercise and at a much higher pressure, I am contemplating not even fooling with it anymore lol

Good statement. Urine is loaded with electrolytes and while the bladder is being filled with liquids, body have a system to “resort” them, if the body demands it. Too much water ingestion leads to several visits to the throne and this system is committed. Back to where already being said, make sure to have all nutrients in your diet, just in case.

I knew a guy that had urethra problem for drinking lots of water. Didn’t questioned him that much to know what really was, the name of the condition.

I believe plain water is pretty much unheard of, there will always be some trace minerals in it.

Very true. There are trace elements in all water but I’m talking about the actual way the water molecules are structured. There have also been studies proving that water retains the structural memory even after certain elements have been removed. There is this whole thing now talking about processes to restructure water to be healthier for you. There is a whole rabbit hole you can go down when researching water and proper hydration.
