Because the desire for a bigger penis is both a preoccupation and a source of concern for many men, the penis enlargement 'market' has flourished. So what are the options, what works and what doesn't? Unfortunately, there is no scientifically proven method of increasing your penis size without risk.

By attempting to increase your penis size you run the risk of losing sensation in your peripheral nerves (making it more difficult to ejaculate). There is a surgical procedure that involves cutting the suspensory ligament (which makes your penis hang down further), but most doctors are not willing to perform this procedure. In addition, there are no FDA approved medications that improve penis size.

The flaccid penis is the root of insecurity, the so-called locker-room syndrome. His is bigger than mine. Flaccid length does not predict erect length, however, and most of the variation is made up once up: Most men measure between 5 and 6 inches when erect, regardless of the size starting out. Pills and Potions for Penis Enlargement

There are literally hundreds of adverts and articles on penis enlargement -- your inbox probably suffers as a result. They talk of the amazing, 'unbelievable' results that can be achieved. The only honest word here is 'unbelievable'. Save your money. Nothing currently on the market has a permanent effect on increasing penis size.

Vacuum Devices for Penis Enlargement Vacuum devices are often recommended for the treatment of impotence. They are also advertised for penis enlargement because the penis does increase in size for a time.

Vacuum pumps are placed over the penis. Air is then drawn from the tube and this creates pressure. As a result, blood is forced rapidly into the penis, as happens in an erection. A ring is then applied temporarily to the base of the penis to stop the blood draining away too quickly. Penis enlargement will only work for around 24 hours.

While breast enhancement surgery is relatively safe, penis enlargement surgery is so dicey that there's a very good chance a man will lose sensation or the ability to have an erection. Pills do nothing, and exercises are futile and potentially harmful.

There can also be side effects. Blood vessels can rupture causing swelling and pain. If you do want to try a vacuum device for erectile problems, or you feel it might be a pleasant sensation, you do need to be aware of the potential dangers and the fact that some devices available are poorly designed.

Penis Exercises

As the penis does not contain any muscles there are no exercises or massage techniques that will enlarge it, (except in the short term)!
