In this article we are going to tackle yet another male enhancement question that many of you are asking: Does jelqing work….and will it work for me!
You’ve got to admit, if you’ve been researching penis enlargement products for any length (no pun intended..:-) of time, the simple truth is that you’ve come across your fair share of hype, false promises and other over blown claims.
As someone who has written well over 600 articles, blog posts and otherwise on men’s health and male enhancement specifically, I had the very same questions when I began as well.
But the key question we want to address here is will jelqing work for you, right?
My answer is yes, it will…..BUT, with the following caveat. You’ve got to put in the effort. It’s not the magical pill, or gum, or potion, lotion, or cream being sold by unscrupulous promoters who simply want to grow their own bank accounts ( and not your anatomy!)
Jelqing is exercise. It involves technique and a slight learning curve. It should be done daily, and should be part of a long term goal to get great gains and sensational size.
The good news? It does work wonders if you do the above. If you are small now, and insecure with your size ( as are over 80% of men in each and every survey done) you WILL get the sort of super growth you hear so much about.
But don’t expect it to be overnight. It will take a little time, but you should start to see slight increases in just about a week….with the major gains starting to come in small but powerful increments!
Bonus Tip: I recommend this to all of my readers – cross train! Use a diversity of exercises to get the sort of size you are going for. Elevation exercises are better for girth, kegel improves power and control, etc. A good mix of motions is the true key to getting the kind of anatomy that makes women weak…..and your buddies green with envy!

Dita Von Teese is following in the illustrious footsteps of Zooey Deschanel and Scarlett Johansson, and recording her own album, ominously titled “Manson, Pasties and Milky Skin.”
Of course, Ms. Von Teese came up through the burlesque circuit, so we imagine she knows her way around a tune…and can inspire any number of Brill Building types if her inspiration runs dry. We doubt she’ll have any trouble putting it together.
But with a title like that, we’re mostly looking forward to the videos.

Naturally, versatility can be a mixed blessing, but if you’ve got the right tailor on board things tend to turn out ok. And it’s hard to make bike clothes uglier than they are already…
Rapha Performance Roadwear recently commissioned traveling tailor Timothy Everest to make a suit designed for bicycling, and the result is surprisingly palatable. The jacket’s lower flaps can be fastened to the pockets to keep them from flapping, and an extra length of sleeve can be rolled down to keep the wrists covered when the rider leans over the handlebars. Best of all, the pattern is a simple gray check that won’t announce itself too loudly. (Don’t be fooled by the zebra stripes; that’s just the camera).
Think of it as just one more example: tailors can do anything if they put their minds to it.

Much as we love the sneaker/oxford crossover, it’s important to do it in the right way. Otherwise you end up with…well, this.
Heyday Footwear has been pushing a “wingtip-inspired sneaker” called the Winger, and it’s a sign of what happens when the crossover goes awry. Instead of taking the classic wingtip form and giving it a some of the pop glossiness of a sneaker, Heyday just makes the shoe softer, squishier, and less useful.
The result is the worst of both worlds. Too casual for suits and too stilted for jeans, this is a good idea gone bad.

If you felt compelled to replicate this gentleman’s vintage blazer…we may have something for you.
This boating blazer from Paul Smith is a good deal more traditional than the punkish pink-on-black, but the overall effect is remarkably similar. In fact, it’s so traddish that Smith forgoes his usual slanted pockets except for the chest slit.
Something tells us it would go well with a straw hat.
