As females develop from children into women, they usually experience a surge in breast growth, with puberty being the time when changes are most significant. However, women also see changes in breast size during other times in their lives such as pregnancy, weight gain or weight loss and menopause.

Despite this fact, many women do not experience significant increase in bust size for several reasons, which include:

Heredity and geneticsHormone imbalancesLow body fat levelsPoor energy flow stress and other emotional issues (depression, etc.)

Improper diet
Malnutrition

Some women are very satisfied with having a small bust line, however many others want to find effective ways to get bigger breasts.

Many women may believe that breast enhancement surgery is the only true solution to increase breast size permanently and give the appearance of larger breasts. However, there are many other effective options, which include exercise, diet, herbs, optical illusions and hormone therapy, which all make breasts look larger without the need for expensive or invasive surgeries.

Gain Weight. 

Breasts are mostly made up of fatty connective tissue, so gaining a few extra pounds of fat weight is a simple and effective way to get bigger breasts, particularly for thin women.

Along with gaining size in the breasts, gaining weight may also lead to unwanted size increase in other areas of the body such as the stomach and thighs. This makes it important to gain weight slowly and gradually, assessing the results every one or two weeks as well as avoiding binge eating and the rapid weight gain it causes, which can impact health in a negative way.

Another important consideration is that based on genetics, weight gain may not lead to an increase in bust size. If the body is programed to only store fat in the hips and thighs, weight gain will lead to these areas getting bigger while the bust remains small.

Even though weight gain is the goal, focus on eating healthy foods.Increase the number of calories consumed of regular foods (complex carbohydrates, healthy fats and lean protein).Eat carbohydrate, sugar and fat-filled foods such as bread, cookies and cheese.Exercise regularly and stay fit while gaining weight by doing a combination of strength and aerobic training for a total of five hours each week.

Diet

Even though genetics is the primary determining factor of breast size, the diet plays a major role in how breasts develop.

Eat Estrogen Rich Foods

Breast size is directly related to the amount and types of specific female sex hormones in the body, with the primary one being estrogen. Without enough estrogen in the body, and a sufficient amount of it, breasts cannot get bigger and grow to their maximum size and end up being small and underdeveloped.

Throughout puberty, and up to the age of eighteen or nineteen, the female human body produces lots of estrogen naturally. However, despite this fact, more estrogen can be introduced into the body through the foods eaten in the daily diet, which helps to make breasts grow bigger in less time.

The following are excellent nutritional sources of estrogen:

Legumes: Lentils, chickpeas, lima beans and kidney beans

Dairy: Yogurt, eggs and cheese

Oil seeds: Fenugreek seeds, sesame seeds, anise seeds, sunflower seeds and flax seeds

Spices: Sage, clover, and oregano

Fruits: Apples, cherries, and plums

Vegetables: Beets, carrots, and cucumbers

Grains: Rice, barley, and wheat

Meats: Chicken soup

Soy products: Soy milk and tofu

Eat Phytoestrogen Rich Foods

Phytoestrogens, which are plant derived substances that act like estrogen in the body, are excellent for boosting estrogen levels when the body does not produce enough (such as in women going through menopause). Studies show that like estrogen, phytoestrogens (in food or tablet form) make breasts get bigger by increasing breast tissue size.

There are many tasty and nutritious food items that contain phytoestrogens that can be added to a healthy daily diet, which include:

Nuts: Pistachios, chestnuts, cashews and walnuts
Beverages: Red wine, coffee, white wine, black tea, green tea, bourbon and whiskey
Fruits: Apples, strawberries, pomegranates, peaches, watermelons, plums, and raspberries
Vegetables and herbs: Alfalfa, clover, collards, winter squash, garlic, beets, carrots, cucumbers, licorice root, fenugreek leaves and ginseng
Oil seeds: Fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds, flax seeds and sesame seeds
Soy Products: Soy nuts, soy protein powder, soy yogurt, soybeans, tofu, soybean oil and soymilk
Whole grains: Corn, millet, crisp and wholegrain breads, popcorn, quinoa wheat, barley, oats, rye, wheat germ and brown rice
Legumes: Green beans and mung beans
Meats: Chicken and chicken-based products
Eat More Healthy Fats

Adding more healthy fats and removing unhealthy fat sources from the diet can help breasts grow bigger by increasing fat storage throughout the body, while also keeping it healthy.

Several healthy sources of dietary fat include:

Eggs
Avocados
Nuts
Olive oil
Oily fish
Peanut butter

Warning: Avoid gaining excessive weight all over the body, which can lead to overweight, obesity and a host of health related problems long-term. Follow a program of regular exercise to keep too much fat from accumulating throughout the body.

Eat Radishes

Studies show that radishes help to enhance breast size naturally because of their effect on blood circulation (due to astringent properties), which may improve the growth of breast tissue. Better blood flow to the breasts can help them get bigger naturally and quickly without any unwanted side effects.

Take Beneficial Supplements

A major cause of hormone imbalances in the body is not getting enough essential vitamins and minerals from the daily diet. These deficiencies can lead to having breasts that do not develop to their maximum size.

It is possible to reverse the problem and increase breast size by correcting deficiencies with proper supplementation using natural products such as:

Amino Acids – Along with burning excess fat and slowing down the aging process, amino acids help to increase breast size. It does this by mimicking key hormones that facilitate the growth of the entire body, including the breasts, which makes supplementing with amino acids very effective for getting bigger breasts fast while using all-natural methods . vitamins, – Another factor that has a severe and negative impact on breast growth and size is vitamin deficiency. A combination of several vitamins including vitamin A (supports skin rejuvenation and regeneration), vitamin C (restores collagen levels), vitamin E (regulates cholesterol) and vitamin B6 (produces new blood cells), helps to enhance breast growth without encouraging fat storage throughout the rest of the body.

These factors help to enhance and support the structure of breast skin and tissue, which helps them to look fuller and increases the size of the breasts without any unwanted side effects.

Exercise

Exercise (specifically strength training) is a free and effective method of natural breast enlargement, achieved by building the muscles of the chest (pectorals) to make breasts look bigger, firmer and more perky. Along with helping to develop larger breasts naturally, exercise provides additional benefits such as better health, strength and mood.

The following are several effective exercises for firming and enhancing the bust line.

Push-ups

Pushups are an excellent exercise for building the chest muscles, which makes breasts appear larger, as well as the arms (specifically the triceps).

Begin by laying (stomach down) on the floor with legs fully stretched out and hands placed flat against its surface and in line with each shoulder.Push the body up towards the ceiling slowly, using the muscles of the chest and arms, and until the arms are almost fully extended.Lower the body towards the ground, again using arm and chest muscles for control until the stomach almost touches the floor.Repeat the movement for the necessary amount of sets and repetitions.

Or

If this is too hard, keep the knees on the ground while performing the movements.

Warning: Start slowly when doing pushups for the first time, since it may strain the arms. Begin by doing two sets of five pushups and gradually increase it to two or three sets of ten pushups or more as strength improves.

Wall Press

The wall press is another effective exercise for building the chest muscles and upper arms, which is very similar to the push-up.

Stand facing a wall (two feet away) with the palms of both hands flat against its surface and arms straight.With legs firmly planted, lean body weight against the wall bending the elbows.Once all weight is leaned towards the wall and elbows are bent at a forty five degree angle, push back against the wall using the biceps and straighten the arms fully.

For best results perform two sets of ten repetitions of this exercise three to five times weekly.

Chest Press

The chest press is an effective exercise for building the pectoral muscles.

Lie down on the floor (on the back) with knees bent and feet flat.Bend the elbows at ninety degree angles, holding one dumbbell in each hand.Lift the weights towards the ceiling, and then towards each other while focusing on using the muscles of the chest.Using a smooth motion, return the weights to the starting positon.

For best results do this exercise three to five times weekly and perform three sets of twelve to fifteen repetitions each time.

Household Chores

A simple way to build and firm the chest to make breasts appear larger is by doing more chores around the house.

The modern conveniences of home electronics and appliances such as washing machines, food processors and vacuum cleaners, have reduced the level of physical exercise the average woman used to get from doing chores such as handwashing clothes, sweeping floors and grinding foods by hand.

Doing chores manually provides plenty of arm exercise that firms and tones the breasts making them larger while enhancing the health of the rest of the body.

Herbs

Available online and in health food stores, there are several herbal remedies that promise to enhance bust size. Although there is no scientific evidence to support these claims, many women all over the world continue to use herbs and other natural remedies to attempt to get bigger breasts.

The following are some of the herbs thought to increase breast size when taken regularly.

Fennel

Fennel, which is a common spice that has many medicinal properties, contains high levels of phytoestrogens which mirror the effects of naturally occurring estrogen in the body. This makes fennel effective for making breasts bigger and enhancing milk production (lactation) in breastfeeding women.

Fennels high phytonutrient content is known to increase female libido and is also used to treat asthma, amenorrhea, angina and high blood pressure.

To use fennel for breast growth, drink it in tea form, use it to cook food or rub the oil from the herb into the breasts.

Red Clover

Along with enhancing breast growth naturally, the red clover herb also treats most common diseases. The high phytoestrogen content of the herb provides a rich source of compounds such as genistein, that bond with human estrogen receptors to make breasts grow bigger.

Fenugreek

As an ancient Ayurvedic remedy, fenugreek is a popular Indian herb that is used medicinally as well as to season and flavor various types of foods (such as curries and desserts). Fenugreek has high levels of phytoestrogens and prolactin, which make it effective for enhancing breast growth and size as well as supporting better milk production in nursing mothers.

Wild Yam

Wild yam is a well-known and centuries old treatment for several reproductive problems that women struggle with such as menopause and PMS.  In addition, wild yam has beneficial phytonutrients and properties that help to increase breast size when taken with other herbs such as fenugreek, and used in a variety of different ways.

Saw Palmetto

Saw palmetto, which comes from saw palm seeds, helps to enhance breast size despite the fact that it is typically used to treat enlarged and inflamed prostate issues (benign prostatic hyperplasia).

Saw palmetto helps breasts to reach their full growth potential by decreasing excess testosterone production in the body.

Other beneficial herbs include options such as black cohosh, chasteberry tree (also known as Vitex agnus-castus) and Kava.

Breast Enlargement Pills

Breast enlargement pills are available having the above mentioned ingredients shown to stimulate the body’s natural hormone functions that encourage bust growth. There is some evidence that they work but that’s purely anecdotal.

Use caution and consult with a medical health specialist before supplementing with herbal and naturopathic remedies.

Massage

Some individuals believe that breast massage can create a modest increase in the size of the breasts if done using specific techniques along with gadgets, creams and oils that support and enhance breast growth.

While no scientific studies have proven this method to be effective for natural breast enlargement, it may improve posture and overall mood, which helps to induce relaxation.

What is Premature Ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation is a type of sexual dysfunction that affects men. This condition goes by many names including:

Premature climaxRapid ejaculationEarly ejaculationRapid climax

Just as the names imply, this condition occurs when a man ejaculates with minimal penile stimulation soon after beginning sexual intercourse. This results in the sexual act ending before either partner is ready for it to end, which can cause a great deal of distress for both parties. Ejaculation is premature when it occurs 30 seconds to 4 minutes after penetration.

Although there are many types of male sexual dysfunctions, early ejaculation is considered to be the most common problem. Prevalence rates vary, but it’s estimated that 1 out every 3 men will experience it at some point in their lives.

Premature ejaculation can either be primary (lifelong) or secondary (acquired). In the latter case, symptoms develop after you have had previous sexual encounters without experiencing ejaculatory problems. With lifelong or primary cases, afflicted individuals struggle to delay ejaculation nearly all the time ever since their first sexual experience.

The good news is that PE is treatable. Keep reading to learn more about symptoms and causes of this condition plus ways to stop premature ejaculation.

Symptoms of Premature Ejaculation

It’s neither abnormal nor uncommon for a man to experience early ejaculation sometimes. This happens to most men when they’re new to sexual activity, have not had sexual encounters for a long time, or become overly aroused when with a new partner. However, if premature ejaculation occurs frequently and ends up causing issues in your sex life, then there’s cause for alarm.

There is a high chance that you might have this condition if you meet one or more of the following criteria:

The inability to delay an orgasm for more than one minute after commencing sexual intercourse.Ejaculation that always occurs within a minute during intercourse or masturbation.An unshakable feeling of frustration and distress about sexual performance that causes you to a avoid intimacy.

Most men do not like to talk about premature ejaculation because they see it as an embarrassing subject to bring up. However, talking about it openly and constructively could very well avert relational conflicts and other sexual problems like low libido and erectile difficulties.

Causes of Premature Ejaculation

The causes of premature ejaculation remain largely unclear. Many theories have been suggested to explain why this sexual dysfunction occurs, but there’s little evidence to back them up. As a result, it can be difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of rapid ejaculation unless you’re suffering from a medical condition that’s directly responsible.

Men with a previous history of normal ejaculation can develop acquired premature ejaculation due to injuries or medical conditions such as spinal cord trauma, hypertension, diabetes, prostate disease, multiple sclerosis, or thyroid dysfunction. Certain prescription medications as well as poor lifestyle habits like smoking, drinking and drug abuse could also be responsible.

Some men have primary premature ejaculation. This means that they have continued to struggle with this condition since their first ejaculation. In such cases, the main cause could either be a biological or psychological factor.

Psychological Factors that Cause Early Ejaculation

Several psychological factors have been hypothesized as one of the causes of premature ejaculation, which include:

Early Sexual Habits

Some therapists believe that young men are inadvertently encouraged by experiences from their early sexual life to form a habit of ejaculating rapidly. These experiences can include masturbating hastily to avoid being caught (or to quickly get the newfound feeling of orgasm), or rushing through a sexual encounter on the family couch or at the back seat of a car.

With time, such experiences condition the mind to rush through sexual activity and this becomes an ingrained habit that is difficult to break.

Traumatic and Embarrassing Sexual Experiences

Premature ejaculation can sometimes be borne out of sexual anxiety, which some men find hard to shake off when they remember an embarrassing or traumatic sexual experience they went through.

For example, being caught masturbating or sexual abuse are some of the humiliating and traumatizing experiences that can cause a young man to unknowingly condition his mind to ejaculate quickly later on in life during sexual encounters.

Cultural Perceptions and Upbringing

In some cultures, sexual intercourse is considered to be an intimate experience only shared by married couples. Men brought up in such strict cultural backgrounds may find it difficult to relax when having sex, especially if the act is committed during courtship or outside of wedlock.

Anxiety and Stress

Often, distressed men tend to ejaculate quickly during intercourse, thereby failing to give their partners a longer and mutually satisfying experience. In such situations, anxiety, stress or depression can play a role in causing early ejaculation.

The root cause of such emotional difficulties can stem from one’s social, sexual, or even financial life.

Biological Factors

Biological factors that contribute to premature ejaculation can be complex. These causes may include:

Abnormalities with levels of neurotransmitters and brain chemicalsErratic hormone levelsLack of control over ejaculatory reflexesInfections that cause inflammation in the prostate or urethraAn overactive or under-reactive thyroid

Recent studies also suggest that early ejaculation can be an inherited trait. Some researchers have found that a number of men who suffer from this problem have a close relative such as a father, brother, or son who also suffers from or had premature ejaculation.

However, the association between an inability to delay ejaculation and genetic influences is yet to be proven as existing studies have only provided tentative evidence.

How to Prevent or Overcome Premature Ejaculation

It’s quite possible to get rid of premature ejaculation without using drugs or seeking help from a medical expert. There are many remedies for this health problem, which have been tried and found to be effective. So, if you’re looking for ways to stop premature ejaculation, the following natural methods can help you achieve your goal.

Practical Techniques to Delay Ejaculation

It’s possible to train your ejaculatory reflexes to delay an orgasm by using a few practical techniques. You can practice the following methods during masturbation or sex to learn the art of delaying ejaculations.

Kegel Exercise / PC Muscle Training

Kegel exercises help to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Women usually do these exercises when treating pelvic floor weakness due to childbirth or as a remedy for urinary incontinence. However, Kegels can also teach men a handy technique that delays ejaculation.

The basic premise of Kegel exercises involves flexing the Pubococcygeus (PC) muscle, which helps to control ejaculation. To identify the PC muscle, pretend that you’re urinating then stop the flow of urine with a muscle contraction.

That same muscle you used to control urine flow is your PC muscle. Your abdominal muscles and thighs should be fully relaxed when you engage this muscle.

The good thing about Kegel exercises is that they are simple to perform and can be done anywhere without people knowing. To perform Kegel exercises:

Flex the PC muscle for about 5 seconds then take the same amount of time to relax before repeating the same reflex.Kegels are most effective when done on a regular basis. Therefore, repeat this routine at least 3 times every day with 10 to 15 muscle contractions per session.Every 3 to 5 days, flex the PC muscle 1 second longer and work your way up slowly until you are able to squeeze it for 10 seconds.With time, the PC muscle will become strong and all you have to do is squeeze it to hold off ejaculation.Practice Stop-Start Technique and Try Different Sex Positions

The start-and-stop method can be done as a solo exercise or with a sex partner. It requires a man to stop intercourse or penis stimulation abruptly when coming close to an orgasm. This is followed by a 30-second rest before sexual activity can continue.

Changing positions before starting intercourse again can also help to prevent early ejaculation even further. Active positions like missionary and rear-entry cause the most friction and stimulation on genital organs.

Changing from these positions to less stimulating ones such as spooning and the propeller can prolong sexual activity.

Trying different positions in conjunction with the start-and-stop method can be repeated as many times as possible until you are ready to ejaculate. With practice and experience, this technique will help you gain control over your arousal and ejaculatory reflexes.

The Penis Tip Squeeze Method

The idea of this technique is to decrease an erection by squeezing the penis when a man is just on the brink of reaching an orgasm. You can practice this technique alone or with the help of your sex partner.

The penis squeeze method can be used along with the stop and start technique. Here are the instructions on how to perform it:

When an ejaculation is just moments away, immediately stop all other stimulation and have you or your partner squeeze the region just below the head of the penis where the glands meet the shaft.Maintain the squeeze for a few seconds then release and pause for about half a minute before resuming intercourse.Keep repeating this process until you’re ready to ejaculate.Testes Tug

You can prevent premature ejaculation by simply pulling or tugging the testicles. Usually, a man’s scrotum rises slightly just before an orgasm. However, pulling the testes down and away from your body delays an ejaculation.

Much like the squeeze method, you can practice the testes tug on your own or with your sex partner.

Perineum Pressure

The Perineum is located midway between the anus and scrotum. This spot provides easy access to the prostate gland. As a result, pressing on the Perineum helps to stop the flow of ejaculate fluid.

Before applying pressure on the Perineum, wait until when you are just about to ejaculate.Pause stimulation for about 30 seconds before resuming sexual activity.Repeat the pattern until you are ready to ejaculate.Bedroom Changes

A different approach to sex can sometimes be enough to stop premature ejaculation. With that in mind, here are a few behavioral changes that can help you last longer in bed.

Masturbate 2 Hours before Sex

This is one of the oldest tricks in the book when it comes to preventing premature ejaculation. Masturbating a couple of hours before sex brings down your level of sexual excitement. Although your level of desire will have decrease, you’ll still be able to get an erection and last much longer than you’re used to.

Wear a Condom

Some men do not like using a condom because sex simply feels better without one. However, condoms can actually work to your advantage if you’re suffering from premature ejaculation.

Condoms decrease sexual pleasure and allow you to avoid being overly aroused. Consequently, most men are able to prolong the time before ejaculation when wearing a condom.

For this technique to be effective at keeping you from climaxing quickly, you need to avoid extra thin condoms. Those made with a thicker texture help to reduce stimulation than the thin ones.

Some climax-control condoms reduce arousal even further with Benzocaine, a slightly numbing gel. Since the numbing gel is on the inside of the condom, it helps to put off ejaculation for longer without decreasing sexual pleasure for your partner.
