Penis Enlargement Facts – What Options are Available

A bigger man than I: In search of effective enlargement methods

Throughout history, men have always associated the size of the penis with the measure of the man. The desire to be well-hung has
resulted in the development of many methods of penis enlargement over the years and in all cultures, from folk medicine to modern
surgical techniques. For any man, there’s certainly wisdom in the idea of learning to accept oneself, however, as we all know, the
possibility of changing for the larger is quite seductive.

Surgery

Penis enlargement surgery is considered so risky that currently only about 30 doctors in the United States will perform it. The body of experience isn’t great either – some estimates put the total number of enlargement surgeries at perhaps 20,000 total since the surgery
was first attempted in the late 1980s. Anyone considering this method should be prepared to spend a great deal of time researching and carefully checking the background, results, references and licensing of any doctor who offers this procedure.

Here’s how it works: to add the appearance of length, the surgeon cuts the suspensory ligament that anchors the penis to the body,
allowing it to drop down and forward; in this way, it is hoped that the portion of the penis that is normally held inside the body cavity will stretch outward and appear as more length. The penis isn’t technically “lengthened” so much as it is uncovered or released from the
body.

To add girth, doctors harvest fat cells from the man’s body, usually from the buttocks or legs, and then inject these cells into the penis to create a thicker shaft.

Horror stories abound– and in fact, an online search for “penis enlargement surgery” turns up a number of sites with photos of botched procedures. If you have the stomach for it, you can see the disastrous outcomes in which men were rendered impotent or disfigured,
with freakishly shaped, red or scarred penises.

The ligament-cutting method sometimes causes a total loss of support of the erect penis, so that, in the words of one man, “it flaps
around like a helicopter blade.” A surgically severed suspensory ligament can also cause erections to point downward, or even cause
total loss of sensation and impotency. As for the fat-injections for increasing penis girth, results can be lumpy, blobby or bunched to
cause an oddly shaped member because the fat either moves around or reabsorbs unpredictably. Fat injections will still feel soft and
squishy even when the penis is erect.

A final drawback to this method is the price: an average of $5,000 – 8,000, with no guarantee of the exact outcome.

Stretching

Of enlargement methods, this one proves to be effective; however, the results are not quick. It takes a very consistent effort over a
long period of time to create a change. Stretching for penis enlargement can be likened somewhat to body building. By stressing tissues,
you force the body to repair itself. Through mitosis, additional cells fill spaces caused by the stretch, and micro-scar tissue may form
around the stressed area, creating enlargement. Most commonly, men use a device that applies steady stretching tension to the penis.
One device, the ProExtender , is quite popular and is even in use in medical clinics around the world to correct abnormal curvature of the penis (Peyronie’s disease). There’s more information about the ProExtender at their website (www.proextender.com ).

Weights

The thought of heavy, hanging weights attached to the penis sounds pretty horrifying to most men – but it does, indeed, work to
lengthen the penis permanently. As proof, anthropologists can point you to the Holy Sadhus of India, Karamogong tribe of northern
Uganda, whose members practice a form of ritual penis lengthening that begins at adolescence. With the daily application of increasingly heavier weights over a course of many years, the tribal men stretch their penises to freakish lengths of 18 inches or more. Done
incorrectly, though – for instance, using too much weight or causing jerking or ripping of the penis if the weights get caught on
something — hanging weights can cause permanently damage including erectile dysfunction, a crooked penis, or chronic pain.

Vacuum pumps

These are recommended by doctors, and effectively used by men who have trouble achieving an erection. The pump is a manually or electrically operated device that creates suction in a plastic cylinder that fits over the penis. After trying it the first time, men will be
very pleasantly surprised to see how large they appear – this is because a large amount of blood has been artificially pumped into the
penis, making it swell temporarily. Fans of the pump say that over time, there is even some permanent growth; by creating the Big Swell
for 30 to 60 minutes a day, the penis gradually enlarges and retains some of the “pumped up” size.

Pills

Probably the safest and easiest method of all, pills can be taken conveniently and discreetly. Almost all men who try pills say they notice changes in performance and/or sensation when they take a good supplement, and may even enjoy a harder or larger erection. For penis enlargement, pills are a good adjunct to a stretching program. By increasing blood flow to the penis and positively affecting men’s
hormones, pills can speed recovery time and aid in faster growth after stretching. From the hundreds of choices available, men should
choose a cGMP manufacturer product from a reputable seller. VigRX has been around a long time and has many loyal customers. Find out more about how the pills work and what the ingredients are at www.vigrx.com

Exercises

Using more or less the same principles as the stretching method, men have developed many exercises and manipulations meant to
increase penis size. Instead of using a device or weight to accomplish the stretch, you’d follow a fairly rigorous exercise schedule of
intense pulling or “milking” the penis, along with flexing and lifting, and perhaps even slamming or slapping the shaft. For up to 60 minutes
a day, adherents of these programs practice a variety of different moves which should result in soreness but not pain. An example of
one such program that has received some acclaim from users is the ForMenOnly program.

Patches

A recent entry into the enlargement category is the transdermal patch. These contain the same ingredients as pills, formulated to release through the skin when the patch is applied. Like pills, patches create a good “enhancement” effect, but for enlarging the penis, work best when used along with stretching or another tension method. More information about patches is available at www.maxiderm.com

Also working on the transdermal concept, but with a more instantaneous effect, are the topical oils that contain blood-flow-increasing ingredients and hormonal boosters. Applied at the critical moment, oils can do a lot to increase the size of the erection. For more on topical erection oils, check out www.vigrxoil.com

Tips and tricks

If none of the approaches above appeal to you, try one of these simple “optical illusion” tricks. Your penis will look bigger if you trim your pubic hair, lose weight (fat deposits in the abdomen can hide or cover the penis), exercise your abs, and even develop better posture.

Finally, there’s always the option of using what you have to its best advantage. We’ve all heard the saying that it’s not how big, but how
you use it that matters. If you can accept what you have, and learn better lovemaking techniques, you just might appear ten feet tall.
