This week in the United States we’ll be celebrating our Independence Day. The group of men involved with the founding of the United States were some of history’s best and brightest. They stood for the ideals that every man should aspire to. Among that group of men were military geniuses, inventors, and philosophers. It took men of valor and virtue to take on and defeat the most powerful military in the world. Simply amazing. While our country hasn’t been the perfect example of the ideals that the Founding Fathers espoused, those ideals are something we should continually strive to live up to. While you’re celebrating the 4th of July with your loved ones, take some time to think about the great men who helped make this country what it is today.

Now for the Manival.

How To Make Your Penis Larger From Home: Natural Male Enhancement Techniques for Beginners

In this article we are going to discuss how to make your penis larger from home. As someone who has written MANY articles on male enhancement techniques, I can tell you with complete confidence that natural approaches to enlargement are the safest, easiest and most hassle free of the popular ways to pump up your penis size. While there are several successful approaches you could try, MOST of them are over priced and under regulated….too important factors that ALWAYS pull me back to the natural and holistic approach instead. Continue reading as I shine a bright light on why I strongly believe holistic approaches to male enhancement are still the way to go. Read on..:-)

Filed Under: A Fork in the Road

Most men who are trying to build a bigger male anatomy with invariably try the most exotic approaches first: Pills, potions, lotions, pumps, pulleys and everything else under the sun that promises supersize overnight. Ultimately, when none of these work, most men come to the fork in the road. One direction leads to giving up, and accepting a lifetime of feelings of insecurity, inadequacy and even FEAR of intimacy - the other, a last ditch effort and approach to getting the gains you deserve. More often than not, especially if I can help it, this path leads to completely NATURAL male enhancement exercises you can do from home, are easy, inexpensive to learn and guaranteed to work. This is usually, as I’m sure you can guess, a much more EXCITING road to explore..:-)

Filed Under: Getting Started

The basic premise behind all natural approaches to male enhancement is that the more blood your penis can hold, the stronger, longer and more powerful it will become. There is lots of science behind this as well, but I won’t bore you here with more mumbo jumbo. Rather, I would encourage you to do your OWN due diligence to understand HOW your penis grows through exercises and muscle contractions. The biggest breakthrough I experienced was simply making the time to put in the effort. Remember, building a bigger anatomy is NO different than building your arms, chest or legs. You need to make the time and follow through with the same commitment and desire to get great gains. About 10-15 minutes a day is sufficient to see quantifiable results in less than two weeks.

Field Under: Understanding Your Anatomy

Remember, different exercises built different areas of your anatomy. There are different exercises for girth, (circumference) than there are for length, etc. Understanding and identifying your goals will go a LONG way in helping you achieve them. (no pun intended..:-)

Surefire Tips for a Wider Penis. Make Your Penis Girth Grow Quickly From Home

In this article we are going to tackle the topic of penis girth, and why it SHOULD be the focus on any beginning male enhancement regimen. Many men who are interested in building a bigger and more powerful penis very simply stick to what they believe are the "obvious" areas of anatomical improvement…NAMELY the length of your manhood. But the real advantage and FAR more desirable area to build (especially from a woman’s perspective) is the GIRTH or circumference of the penis. Read on as we explore and explain the easiest ways to achieve the kinds of gains you can be proud of!

Filed Under: Natural Enhancement Exercises for Girth

As we mentioned above, in just about EVERY survey on penis size, women acknowledge that length really doesn’t make that much of a difference to them from the standpoint of sexual enhancement or pleasure. What does matter, is your WIDTH! So if becoming a larger, more powerful and ATTRACTIVE lover is on your list of things to do, this should be the area you focus on for sure.

There are a BUNCH of good girth oriented exercises, but for this article I’d like to focus on one simple one for beginners. Simply dedicate 10 minutes every morning to this, and you should see gains beginning in just about a week. Take a quick warm shower, and change into something comfortable. Obviously make sure you will be undisturbed for the length of time necessary to complete the exercise. In a semi or full erect state, you are going to flex the PC muscles by contracting them in short intervals, with the intended goal of "lifting" your penis perpendicular to your pelvis with each elevation. You should be able to hold yourself (no hands obviously) in this position for 10-12 seconds per repetition. If you can’t…simply work up to it. This exercise, in its’ simplest form, will generate MORE blood to to corposa cavernosa, and you will see the "strain" after a series of reps, and FEEL the effort almost immediately as well.

There are lots of ways to turbo charge this exercise for incredible gains, but for basic beginners, this should go far to impress upon you the effectiveness of natural male exercises, AND give you some tangible, quantifiable gains in girth straight out of the gate!

Porsche celebrates its anniversary. Sixty years ago, when the first Porsche prototype was licensed for use on public roads, the foundation stone was laid for the sports car manufacturer's unparalleled success story. Porsche Design Driver's Selection has dedicated a special collection of products to this jubilee, ranging from model cars to a leather jacket to a top-of-the-range timepiece.

Kazakh supermodel Ruslana Korshunova, 20 years old, leaped from the 9th floor balcony of her Manhattan apartment yesterday. The young model died from blunt impact injuries. Her death had been ruled as suicide, as several witnesses saw her leaped from the balcony of her apartment and police sources reported that there was no sign of struggle inside her apartment.


The young Ruslana Korshunova appeared in the covers of European editions of Elle and Vogue and had represented the designers Betsey Johnson and Jill Stuart on the catwalk. She was also featured in recent years of British Vogue as “the next big thing” in the modeling community and was featured in ads by Vera Wang, Marc Jacobs, Christian Dior and DKNY.

Her family and friends do not have any idea as to what could be the motive behind her suicide. Her friends said she was in good spirit prior to the incident and that suicide was incomprehensible. Nonetheless, it was revealed that in the latest months, the top model wrote emotionally revealing poems such as, "It hurts, as if someone took a part of me, tore it out, mercilessly stomped all over and threw it out... My dream is to fly. Oh, my rainbow it is too high."

Even as a very promising model, Ruslana Korshunova succumbs to depressed moments in life like any other talent. Thus it is very important to seek advice from friends and from the people we trust around the industry, as well as to open our selves to others and not just keep the burdens inside and pretend that we are happy. For any models (promising or not), success does not just simply mean reaching to the top of the fashion industry, it is also surviving all the emotional confusions and personal dilemmas that are meet and left on the way.
