YouTube video by Dr. Ann (Anne Truong MD) explaining how age-related testosterone decline (starting ~age 35, ~1%/year) leads to penile smooth muscle atrophy and fibrosis, contributing to erectile dysfunction. The presenter argues that regular mechanical exercise of the penis using a penis pump can maintain penile tissue health, prevent atrophy/fibrosis, and help preserve erectile function. Practical advice includes pumping regimens, combining pumping with nitric oxide and a constriction ring, and joining Dr. Ann’s Modern Man Club for coaching and resources.

Chapters
Do you know that you can take.
Your penis to the gym and exercise it? Stay tuned and find out.
Men, do you know that you can.
Exercise your penis as you can exercise.
Your biceps or tricep muscle?
It's all from knowing how to do.
It and what it means.
Let me tell you what your testosterone level, your testosterone is, your hormone is what make you a man. Testosterone in a man is a hundred times more than in a woman. And conversely, women have more estrogen, 100 times more estrogen than a man. But a man really needs his testosterone in order for him to kind of have masculine features.
But testosterone is responsible for libido, is responsible for energy focus, help you build your muscles. It's responsible for your bone health.
It's also responsible for your mood stability as well, too.
And know this, when you get older, it start to drop at around age.
35, at 1% a year, it is.
Highest when you're in your 20s. Unfortunately, things start falling apart a little bit after the age of 35, and at a rate about 1% a year. And that's it if you're healthy. So if you're at 50 years old, your testosterone fall down to about 15%, 1 5, which is not too bad. But if you're stressed, if you're overweight, you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, you're not sleeping, you're smoking, it actually accelerate the percentage of the fall from the age of 35. So know that. Again, you hear me talk about diet, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction. Those are the things not only good for your erection, but also can decrease the level of your testosterone.
So why am I talking about testosterone in relation to exercising the penis? The penis muscle or the corpus cavernosum have a lot of testosterone receptors on the cell. So me a receptor is kind of like a key and lock. So the key is testosterone, and the whole of the key is the testosterone receptor. Testosterone is the key and the testosterone receptors on the corpus cavernosum, or the muscle of the penis. And the muscle of the penis has a lot of the hole that goes in with the key into there. So when testosterone bind to the corpus cavernosum, it actually help relax the muscle and therefore help with filling of the blood into the penis. So consequently, when you get older, past the age of 35, you lose about 1% a year of those because you don't have enough testosterone. So the receptors are sitting there going, oh, I need more testosterone. It doesn't have enough testosterone. So over the years, what happened is that when there's not Enough testosterone. The corpus cavernosa muscle, which is a smooth muscle, actually start to atrophy or shrink. And then it start to have scar tissue in it. A condition called fibrosis that's just part of aging, which is related to less testosterone production by the body. And therefore because of the less testosterone, the muscle start to shrink and start to have scar tissue development. So on this picture here, I'm going to show you the picture on the left is a flaccid penis or non erect penis. And you see that the muscles are kind of shrinking a little bit and the blood vessels are there. But then you see the picture on the right when erect penis was where the arteries are enlarged. But as the arteries enlarge, it fills the corpus cavernosum or the penis muscle with blood. As the blood is filled, it then compresses the veins that are on the outside of the tunica albuginea. So imagine like a sausage, you have.
The meat inside and then the sausage is wrapped around with a liner. It's wrapped around with a thin film. Well, the tunica albuginea is like that. It's like a sausage that's wrapped around with a film. And when the corpus cavernosum engorges with blood, that pushes against the veins and it compresses the vein. However, when you get older, the muscle.
Start to atrophy and start to have scar tissue in there.
So the corpus cavernosum of the penis muscle the doesn't expand as much that fill with blood and therefore it doesn't have enough pressure to compress the veins. That's called being asleep. And that is the most common cause of ed. So that means that the muscle is not expanding. So having known that you can exercise the penis, how do you do that? You can exercise the penis with using the penis pump like the one I'm showing here. You can use the penis pump here. And what it does is that when you put your penis in through here, it has negative suction. And what it does is that it creates a negative suction that help the penis have an erection. And erection is full with blood. And when it's like full of blood, it expands the penis muscle and it is full of oxygen. It actually makes the muscle more flexible. What it does is that prevent atrophy and actually even prevent scar tissue development. It's almost like when you go to the gym and you do a biceps curl. You're bringing blood to the muscle and expands the muscle and it brings oxygen to the muscle. And then when you bring enough blood into it, it starts to tear. When it starts to tear, your body start to heal. When your body heals the muscle, it starts to get a little bit bigger. Well, you can do the same thing actually to the penis with the penis pump. The penis pump will actually keep the penis tissue in good health. It actually expands it and will actually prevent it from getting atrophy. And that's what's important, because as you get older, you have less testosterone. You probably are not having as much intercourse that you used to, because every time you have an erection, you're actually exercising your penis. But if you're not having erection or less intercourse, you're just not exercising as much. So there's such a thing as use.
It or lose it.
Well, now you have the penis pump. You can actually do it on your own and exercise your penis. Now, how often do I recommend that you use the penis pump? Well, at least three times a week, every day if you can. But don't do it more than 10 minutes twice a day, because if you pump too much, you're going to actually cause the penis to be fatigued. So having said that, you can actually use the penis pump even if you don't have ed, because it's also a form of maintenance and a form of prevention, and it's also keeping your penis healthy. It's almost like taking your penis to the gym. Why do you go to the gym? You want to go to the gym because you want to maintain your muscle mass. You want to feel healthy. So it's better to do prevention and maintenance than it is to be reactive when you already have ED or when you're starting to see peyronies or you're starting to see that you have some shrinkage. So having said that, I'm a big proponent of maintenance and prevention. Know that you can take your penis to the gym with the penis pump. And then you can also combine that with nitrous oxide and with using a penis ring as a constriction and also with attraction device. I talk about it in my other video. Check out here at my modern man crib is where I have all the information regarding the penis pump and the lasso ring for the penis ring and as well as a nitrous oxide, I'm a big proponent of nitrous oxide because nitrous oxide help bring in blood flow to the penis. So you would take a nitrous oxide about 30 minutes or an hour before you pump, and then when you pump, pump for 10 minutes and leave it there, and then deflate and then you can also put a penis ring around the base and keep the blood in there for 10 minutes as well too. So having said that, I hope you find that helpful. Let me know what you think. If you have any questions. I would appreciate it.
