Infrared benefits

[irv]

I recently bought an infrared lamp for warming up before my sessions (as some people here already do). I instantly liked the feeling of infrared heat and so i used it throughout my sessions.

Now the I've been using this lamp for about six weeks and from the first use I noticed that I hardly don't get any small red dots on my shaft anymore - even when I do very hard squeezes and SSJs (I used a rice sock for warming up before and always got thousands of little red spots). That was really great because I already had some permanent discoloration on my shaft because of the spots. I even think that my dick turned a little lighter in the past weeks.

So I did a little research about infrared light and I stumbled upon some very interesting information about what - besides heating - infrared light can do:

1. Increase circulation by increasing the formation of new capillaries, which are additional blood vessels that replace damaged ones. New capillaries speed up the healing process by carrying more oxygen as well as more nutrients needed for healing and they can also carry more waste products away.

2. Stimulate the production of collagen. Collagen is the most common protein found in the body. Collagen is the essential protein used to repair damaged tissue and to replace old tissue. It is the substance that holds cells together and has a high degree of elasticity. By increasing collagen production less scar tissue is formed at the damaged site.

3. Increase RNA and DNA synthesis. This helps damaged cells to be replaced more promptly.

4. Stimulate fibroblastic activity which aids in the repair process. Fibroblasts are present in connective tissue and are capable of forming collagen fibers.

5. Stimulate tissue granulation and connective tissue projections, which are part of the healing process of wounds, ulcers or inflamed tissue.

In my opinion this is extremely beneficial for Penis Enlargement - and besides the lamp was very cheap (a 150W Infrared lamp from GE for about €5). I'm interested in what other people here that use infrared lamps for Penis Enlargement have experienced.

Where do you get the IR lamps??? I've been interested in this for a while and ahve not been able to find one, can they be found in stores or do they have to be ordered???

:O Holy shit! Thats perfect for Penis Enlargement! How do you set it up, do you just prop it up and let it shine on your dick while doing your girth work?

Whats your source for this?

I live in europe and I got the bulb at my local electronics store - and I was very surprised that it was that cheap. The bulb is from General Electric ... I think that's an american company so I can't imagine having problems to get such a bulb. You should look for it in shops that have a wide range of lamps and bulbs. And if they don't have it in stock I'm sure that they can get it for you.

Thats the link to my resource:

It refers to a medical infrared device but in my opinion these points apply to infrared in general. Certainly my home setup will be less efficient compared with a medical device but I'm sure it will definitely take effect over time.

As for my setup: I simply put the IR-bulb in my table lamp and let it shine on my dick from a distance that feels good (between 30 and 50 centimeters). I use it throughout my entire Penis Enlargement session (for girth- as well as lengthwork). And its working really fine I really like the fact that I can work my dick much harder now without worrying about spots and discoloration. Although I haven't seen any exceptional gains lately I'm sure that the infrared light will help.

What about the infrared effects in the balls? IR kill the sperm.
Any shield suggestion for the testicles?

 

[irv]

You shouldn't point IR light directly on your testicles - when they get too hot your sperm would be killed (temporarily) never heard of any long term effects. I keep my balls covered with my boxers. Textiles block most of the radiation so the balls won't get too hot. I think it's quite safe this way.

 

[RabinoRojo]

Are you documented?
I have an IR lamp since a lot of years and believe me, the IR rays crosses your boxers covering your balls like if you don't covered with anything. I think it's better look for a good insulator safe material...

 

[RabinoRojo]

I use the IR while i'm on the tube pumping and i think it's the best thing for heating...

 

[millionman]

From what Supra posted about using his heating lamp you can point the lamp directly onto the surface you are trying to warm, not necessarily the whole package. I'm headed to Wally World in a little while to pick up a bulb and see if it works better than a heating pad.

Yeah I think a insulator would be a wise thing to invest in....

Interesting article on heat and testicular health.

Laptop computers lower sperm counts and increase infertility risk for men
11 Dec 2004





Men and teenage boys should think twice before placing a laptop computer on their laps as they can lower sperm counts and reduce your chances of fathering a child. If you are male, thinking about having a family, or even a decade away from planning a family, you may be better off placing your laptop on a desk.

The increasing popularity of laptop computers (LC), coupled with existing evidence that elevated scrotal temperature can result in sperm damage, prompted researchers from the State University of New York at Stony Brook to undertake the first study into the effect of heat from LC on scrotal temperature.

The findings are reported in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction[1]. They show that using an LC on the lap increased the left scrotal temperature by a median 2.6°C and the right by a median 2.8°C. Several previous studies have shown that increases in testicular or scrotal temperatures of between 1°C and 2.9°C are associated with a sustained and considerable negative effect on spermatogenesis and fertility.

Lead researcher Dr Yefim Sheynkin, Associate Professor of Urology and Director, Male Infertility and Microsurgery at the University, said: "By 2005, there will be 60 million laptop computers in use in the USA and a predicted 150 million worldwide. Continued improvements in power, size and price of LC have favoured their increased use in younger people and laptop sales now exceed those of desktop computers."

With the exception of an anecdotal report of genital burns, the effect of portable computers on scrotal temperature when they are used on the lap was not known, he said.

"Laptops can reach internal operating temperatures of over 70°C. They are frequently positioned close to the scrotum, and as well as being capable of producing direct local heat, they require the user to sit with his thighs close together to balance the machine, which traps the scrotum between the thighs."

The researchers worked with 29 healthy volunteers aged 21 to 35, measuring scrotal temperatures with and without laptops. Two one-hour sessions of scrotal temperature measurements were performed on different days in the same room with a median room temperature of 22.28°C. The men were dressed in the same casual clothing for each session and sessions with and without LC were conducted at the same time of the day. Body temperature was taken by mouth beforehand and each volunteer spent 15 minutes standing in the room to adjust to room temperature before being seated. A non-working LC was placed on the lap so that the volunteer could adopt the right position to balance the laptop, then removed, and the seating position held for one hour, with scrotal temperature being measured every three minutes. The same procedure was repeated for one hour, with the same baselines controls, but this time with a working laptop. The temperature of the bottom surface of the LC was also measured at intervals.

"We found that scrotal temperatures rose by 2.1°C when the men sat with their thighs together, which is necessary to keep LC on the lap. But, the rise was significantly higher when the LC were used - 2.8°C on the right side and 2.6°C on the left," said Dr Sheynkin. " It shows that scrotal hyperthermia is produced by both special body posture and local heating effect of LC."

The median surface temperature of Pentium 4 computers used increased from nearly 31°C at the start of the experiment to nearly 40°C after one hour.

Dr Sheynkin said: "The body needs to maintain a proper testicular temperature for normal sperm production and development (spermatogenesis). Portable computers in a laptop position produce scrotal hyperthermia by both the direct heating effect of the computer and the sitting position necessary to balance the computer. The magnitude of scrotal hyperthermia associated with abnormal spermatogenesis is unclear. But, previous studies suggest that 1°C above the baseline is the possible minimal thermal gradient capable of inhibiting spermatogenesis and sperm concentration may be decreased by 40% per 1°C increment of median daytime scrotal temperature.

"We don't know the exact frequency and time of heat exposure capable of producing reversible or irreversible changes in spermatogenesis. Studies have shown significant but reversible changes after short-term heating. However, LC produce significant repetitive transient scrotal hyperthermia for years, and insufficient recovery time between heat exposures may cause irreversible or partially reversible changes in male reproductive function."

Dr Sheynkin said his team now planned further studies to evaluate the heating effect of LC on testicular function and sperm parameters. For now, he did not know an exact time for safe use. However, their study showed that within the first 15 minutes of use scrotal temperatures increased by 1°C, so it did not take long to reach a point that may affect testicular function. Also, frequent use may cause intermittent temperature rises, which could significantly increase a single heating effect.

"Until further studies provide more information on this type of thermal exposure", he said, "teenage boys and young men may consider limiting their use of LC on their laps, as long-term use may have a detrimental effect on their reproductive health."

Dr Sheynkin added that two LC brands were tested randomly to avoid criticism that brands may differ. "All laptop computers generate significant heat due to the increasing power requirements of computer chips. New laptops with higher power requirements may produce even more heat. So far, computer fans and 'heat sinks' are not sufficient. It's possible that external protective devices could somewhat help, but it is essential to confirm their protective effect in a clinical study to prevent commercial advertising and use of inefficient and useless products."

Cool. Thanks for the info, IRV.

As for ball protection, wrap aluminum foil around your balls . It should work really well for protection, but it may feel uncomfortable. Anything opaque that can be put between the balls and the light will be fine.

 

[irv]

Yeah, spaceballs! Sounds reasonable. Gonna try it today.

If you ate looking into IR sources for Penis Enlargement, than you should try that gadget called BIO 7!!! It is the same thing and is small and cheap. Here is the device I am talking about. www.drleonards.com/detail.cfm?EDP=10417210 I hope this helps my fellow Penis Enlargementers with their gains.

 

[Vociferous-2ND]

Bump!
Awesome info.
