Circulation to the glans

It seems that glans size is either an issue for some or not. The ones who have no problem with good circulation to the glans generally don’t think about it. The ones who have this problem seem to be very bothered by it. I say this because I have worked with men in the past who have this problem and their frustration seems pretty uniform. I have made suggestions on PC work as a possible fix but this seems to do little for those with poor circulation to the glans. A ring is sort of a way to rig a temporary fix. I also noticed that those with good circulation seem to have pretty consistent growth in the glans from rudimentary PE workouts while those with poor circulation do not develop as much here.

If I had this type of problem and there was no natural way to remedy this I think I may consider medical methods. I continue to work with some men on this issue and hopefully there will be some break through in natural methods.

DLD,

I seem to be one with poor glans circulation, sometimes when I get an erection I get a big mushroom type head, but mostly, it is quite soft and the same size or smaller than the shaft. I’m not too bothered by it actually, but one thing that I have noticed is that when I have an erection (just a normal erection, not after PE), the shaft girth drops fairly sharply just behind the head (it does not look much different but I can tell by feel). Obvioulsy I only have one dick and so dont know about anyone else, but maybe it is just a plumbing problem, like the pipes are just too thin towards the head or something.

What ya think?

SS4

SS4, I am quite frustrated with this issue. I have tried to start threads about it and nothing ever really comes out of it. It is difficult for me to approach this issue as I do not have the problem. I have been working a someone from peforum that does have these issues. I have played around with the notion that erect work (jelqing, squeezes, etc.) may help expand the narrow end at the top of the corpus cavernosum and allow more blood to enter the head. There may be something to this theory if when a person with this problem gets a unusually hard erection and the glans fills more then a average erection. If this is the case specific erect exercises focusing on the upper shaft may open these pathways and give better circulation.

SS4,

Try the BTB and see what it does for head engorgement.

I didn’t think any blood entered the head from the CC’s. I thought blood entered the head only from the CS?

So glans expansion should be effected solely by the CS. Thoughts?

We need the expertise of WestLA on this one. I thought he said it was via the CC. In any case I’m glad this topic is getting some action.

I thought CS also.

Anyone have a URL for this?

Blood enters the head via the CS.

I would suggest the two finger and thumb “top and bottom of the shaft only” type jelq. It seems to make my head swell like nothing else.

maybe trapping the blood mid-shaft and doing smaller more concentrated jelqs up the upper portion of the penis. This may force more blood into these areas keeping them expanded longer.

I was laying in bed and had another thought. Where my glans attaches to my shaft on the underside it is fairly loose. I’m wondering if on men with glans problems may have a tighter attatchment. I’m so tired, this will make no sense tomorrow.

Someday (soon) we’ll have a page in the Men’s Sexual Health Forum that discusses penile anatomy/erection/ejaculation and we can link to that one source for questions like this. I’ve addressed this before in a few different threads. Here is a drawing from Gray’s Anatomy which clearly shows that the corpora cavernosa (CC) are not connected to the corpus spongiosum (CS) which ends in the expanded part known as the glans penis.

The glans expands during a normal jelq because the OK grip encircles the penis and squeezes the CS as well as the CC. Squeezing the CC alone (from the sides) won’t expand the glans because the blood has no direct path to it. The only way to expand the glans and perhaps enlarge it, is to move blood through the CS. This can be done by stroking the length of the CS, but you have to be careful not to injure the urethra (urine tube) that is enclosed within the CS. It’s quite easy to damage the urethra and have blood appear at the meatus (pee hole). Be careful if you try this.

Another way is to compress the bulb of the penis. The bulb is also seen in the illustration from Gray’s Anatomy. You can feel the bulb just below the scrotum. It is the part of the penis that is compressed during a Kegel and that causes the glans to get larger during the squeeze. Perhaps manually compressing and holding pressure on the bulb, which causes blood to move into the glans, might cause some expansion. This would have to be done while erect, of course. The perineal nerve is nearby, too much pressure can cause problems with loss of sensation (bicycle riders know about this).

Since the tissue of the glans is spongy and expandable, it might take high pressures and a long time doing this type of exercise to see any permanent increases. But for those with a concern, it’s worth a try.

EDIT: I forgot about pumping. This page shows a specially designed pump cylinder for expanding the glans. I have no experience with a cylinder like this. In theory it would work as well as manual methods.

Thanks WLA.

…on COCK RINGS.

When I first experimented with cock rings one of the most exciting results was my going-to-burst pumped glans. I never had such a shiny glans before. And that’s why I stick with my cock ring. And that’s why I keep saying “Try it”. Since the glans is connected to the CS it might be that a cock ring around the shaft only is more effective than an around-the-whole-package cock ring. But I can’t tell because I only like around-the-shaft one’s.

And there are alternatives to cheap looking jelly rings and stuff. Most women will look at it as jewelery if it looks like jewelery. Mine is made of silver.
