For the record, and for anyone who stumbles across this later (Like I did), many people on the message boards I mentioned have actually gained more than one inch. The downside, of course, is that it takes around slightly less than a year of dedicated, six-out-of-seven-days-a-week to get just one inch. Which might sound alright now but trust me, after three months even I was having trouble getting motivated. It’s rough fellas.

I myself tried jelqing and stretching for a few months and I gained about a half inch in length. I probably gained a tiny bit in girth but I didn’t measure well my first time (I was being hasty) so I’m not sure what to compare it to. That said, I definitely gained length, and if I could have done it longer it would have worked even better.

I don’t have any proof. That doesn’t help my case, but the only thing I have that can even remotely prove exercises’ legitimacy is a link (Or maybe a copy-paste subject; I don’t know if links work here or not) to Thundersplace.org. It’s a message board that’s been going on since at least early 2002 devoted exclusively to people using exercises to increase penis size. Everyone there could very well be lying, but look at the sheer amount of content on those boards… that’s a lot of work to just to keep the myth of penis exercises floating around. Plus, if you look at the progress logs, many people post before/after pictures. Which could, again, be faked; but you can say that about everything on the internet. Also, the website is ran on donations and there are no ads. The owner has made posts before declaring that he doesn’t have enough money to keep the site up because not enough people donate, at which point I guess a lot of people made donations to keep it going for a while longer. Nobody’s making money off of this.

In regards to the person who tried jelqing and got hurt: Although the penis isn’t a muscle, exercises like the jelq are similar to mainstream exercises. If you try to lift a dumbell that weighs 400 lbs you’re going to hurt your arm,(And probably your back) but that doesn’t mean weightlifting is fake. You’ve got to start out slowly, apply light pressure, control your erection, use some kind of lubricant, use a warm-up and keep repetitions down. You can’t come out of the gates firing on all cylinders; you work your way up to the heavier stuff. Just like weightlifting.

That said, I think the reason mainstream science refuses to investigate exercises is because it’s just embarassing. Especially in American culture. Imagine if a lab somewhere said they were going to study people pulling and otherwise exerting their penises for forty minutes a day. Late night talk shows would have material for a year. And it kind of implies that the scientists themselves have small penises or low self-esteem. Besides, would anyone believe them if they did it right and found out it worked? Of course they wouldn’t. And if they did, they’d try it for a month or so, get tired of spending the forty or so minutes a day it takes, then complain that it takes too long. Or they’d do too much and hurt themselves and complain about that. You just can’t please some people.

Thanks for the advise!! I can’t wait to improve what we have been doing with these 10 steps.
