Note: This article is for educational purposes only. The Angion Method is a community-developed vascular training exercise. We didn’t invent this. We’re just here to make it easier to learn and apply safely.
What is Angion Method 1 (AM1)?
Angion Method 1 is a manual exercise that focuses on increasing blood flow by gliding lubricated thumbs downward along the top of the shaft (from glans to base), targeting the deep dorsal vein. Over time, this method may help:
- Increase erection quality and sensitivity
- Improve blood vessel visibility and function
- Reduce cold flaccids
- Support size and vascular health
It mimics the body’s natural venous return process—but does it in fast, rhythmic reps for 10–30 minutes per session, creating strong internal blood movement without needing arousal or erection.
Why the Deep Dorsal Vein Matters
The deep dorsal vein runs along the top of the penis (dorsal surface), just beneath the skin. It drains used, deoxygenated blood away from the erectile chambers and toward the body.
- Function: Allows spent blood to exit the penis after erections
- Connection: Feeds into the prostatic venous plexus
- Why it matters: A sluggish or overly “leaky” dorsal vein may contribute to weak erections or venous leak
By stimulating blood through this pathway, we’re aiming to improve vascular function from the inside out.
Before You Begin
- Position: Lie flat on your back, legs comfortably apart
- Breathing: Relax. Use belly breathing (not chest breathing). No clenching. No kegeling.
- Lubricant: Use silicone-based lube or organic extra virgin coconut oil for best glide and skin safety
- State: You do not need to be erect. Avoid porn, masturbation, or forceful arousal. Let it happen naturally—or not at all
Step 1: Warm-Up (Burst Expansion)
This is a short prep phase to get blood moving and warm up the area.
How to Perform Burst Expansion
- Rest your penis on one hand, cradling from the underside (targeting the corpus spongiosum or CS).
- With the other hand, use one thumb to perform fast downward strokes from just below the glans to the base.
- Stroke downward only. Reset the thumb by lifting and placing it back at the top (no pressure upward).
- Maintain a rhythm of 3 strokes per second (3RPS).
- Continue for 3–4 minutes.
You should feel light internal warmth, squelching, or pressure near the base or pubic area. This is blood flow—not pain. If you feel pain, you’re pressing too hard.
Step 2: Main Workout — AM1 “Pyramid Rush”
After warm-up, begin the main AM1 session using both thumbs alternately. This is where the “pyramid” comes in—ascending and descending stroke speed every minute.

Pyramid Rush Breakdown (Example)
| Minute | Speed (RPS) | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3RPS | Base speed |
| 2 | 5RPS | Ascend |
| 3 | 7RPS | Peak |
| 4 | 5RPS | Descend |
| 5 | 3RPS | Base speed |
| 6 | 5RPS | Ascend |
| 7 | 7RPS | Peak |
| 8 | 5RPS | Descend |
| 9 | 3RPS | Base speed |
| 10+ | Repeat cycle |
Never stroke upward. Every stroke is gliding from the glans to the base, with firm but not painful pressure, alternating thumbs like a piston.
Focus on smooth motion and rhythm. It’s not about force—it’s about speed, control, and consistency.
Hand Fatigue & Cramping
Expect thumb and forearm fatigue at first. That’s normal. Just like any new physical training, your grip strength will improve over time.
Start with 5–10 minute sessions and work your way up. Maximum session length is 30 minutes.
Rest Days & Recovery
Growth happens after the session—during recovery.
Sample Beginner Schedule
Mon: AM1
Tue: Rest
Wed: Rest
Thu: AM1
Fri: Rest
Sat: Rest
Sun: AM1 (optional)Some do well with 2-on-1-off. Others need more rest. Listen to your body. If your EQ drops or you feel overly sensitive, take more time off.
Troubleshooting
What if I get too close to ejaculation?
- Let go immediately
- Take slow, deep belly breaths
- Check for involuntary pelvic floor clenching
- Wait until the feeling subsides before continuing
If it keeps happening, you may be applying too much stress. Shorten your session or end it early. You still got quality work in.
What if I can’t stay erect?
That’s fine. AM1 works even while flaccid. Many begin this way. As your arteries and nerves adapt, EQ (erection quality) often improves over time.
Tips for Success
- Lie flat. Don’t sit or stand. Laying down supports natural blood flow without vessel pressure.
- Relax. No tension in your abs, butt, or legs.
- Use your imagination, not porn. Rebuild your mind-body connection without external crutches.
- Track your time. Use a timer app or set a playlist with 1-minute cues.
- Don’t overtrain. More is not better. Rest and consistency are what bring progress.
When to Move On to AM2?
You’re ready to start experimenting with Angion Method 2 when:
- You can feel a consistent, gentle pulse by pressing lightly above the dorsal arteries
- You’ve built comfort with 20–30 minute AM1 sessions without excessive fatigue or stress
Final Words
This method takes patience. You’re not forcing size or chasing a pump—you’re training your blood vessels, nervous system, and coordination. That means results come slowly and compound over time.
Stick with it. Don’t compare yourself to others. You’ve only got one body—treat it with respect.
