It’s almost certain that many men would love to have a bigger package.
According to Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital urologist, who is also a professor of urologic surgery at Harvard Medical School, Michael O’Leary, MD, every man in the world has wished that their penis was a few inches longer.
But, there isn’t much for you to do, even after the crazy and suspect penis enlargement attempts made over the last century or so. From penis enlargement surgery, creams and pills, to dreadful devices and cruel stretching exercises, there are of course many supposedly viable alternatives available out there. However, almost all of them are ineffective. To make things worse, severe side effects and minimal benefits are associated with the few methods that actually work. In fact, erectile dysfunction is one of the serious side effects associated with some of the popular penis enlargement options.
To further emphasize his point, O’Leary continues to say that he would have already made a fortune if there was an effective way to increase penis size.
Guys who are still obsessed with growing the size of their penises continue to risk a lot by attempting to grow this vital body part through suspicious treatments, in pure disregard to common sense.
When Can A Penis Be Said To Be Small?
More often than not, guys with an average sized penis think it is small; a common misconception.
Four to five inches in circumference, an erect penis is typically five to six inches in length. When flaccid, penis size varies from person to person.
However, in some cases, a guy might have a penis that is smaller than average. Micropenises, usually shorter than three inches when erect, are a rare occurrence linked with hormonal and genetic issues. A man’s penis may be reduced in size due to prostate cancer surgery or a condition referred to as Peyronie’s disease.
Even with the above information in mind, it is mostly men with average sized penises that are known to seek enlargement, according to research findings. As previously mentioned, they believe, erroneously, that their sexual organs are smaller than normal.
Point of view is the main reason behind this notion. Looking down at your junk is definitely not the most accurate way of measuring the size of your manhood; this point of view is not the best.
You should also add psychology to the list of reasons as well. Some men may obsess about having a small manhood even though they are in actual sense average in size. Penile dysmorphic disorder is the official psychiatric term used to refer to this condition. Just the same way that anorexics, even after being thin, still think that they are overweight/fat.
This condition is prevalent in most of the males who go in for surgical penis enlargement procedures, according to the findings of one study. Such men are also likely to be dissatisfied with the outcome of the procedure.
Lose Weight To Gain Length
Losing weight is one of the most effective and safest ways of lengthening your manhood.
According to the co-writer of Secrets of the Sexually Satisfied Woman and Beverly Hills’ urologist, Jennifer Berman, MD, overweight men make up the largest number of those that think their penis is small.
More of the shaft length hidden under belly fat will be revealed after losing weight. The size of your manhood will seem longer, even though it’s actually not true.
Going in for a liposuction procedure targeting the pad of fat around the manhood, is a viable for option for men who would rather have surgery than diet. Like a pier in high tide, your manhood will be swallowed up by your belly, if you refuse to change how you eat, as this procedure still doesn’t promise permanent results.
Using Devices, Creams and Pills To Enlarge Your Manhood
While the methods covered below are yet to be proven effective when it comes to enlarging your manhood, they are still considered as options.
- Using Vacuum Pumps
This device increases the size of your penis with the help of a vacuum. To grow the size of your manhood, simply insert it into the device; your manhood grows a little bigger in size as more blood is pumped into it, making it erect, as air is drawn from the vacuum. To ensure that the blood remains in your manhood you use a tight ring to clamp it. One of the main disadvantages of this method is that the effects wear off as soon as the ring is removed. You may end up with damaged tissues if you use it for more than twenty or thirty minutes. While its effectiveness in enlarging penis size is yet to be proven, this method is used in erectile dysfunction treatment.
- Using Weights To Stretch Your Manhood
According to O’Leary, you can actually stretch your manhood a bit by hanging weights off it when flaccid. However, since the penis is not a muscle you cannot use this method to bulk it up. You need loads of dedication to get any noticeable results using this method. According to O’Leary, you might need to keep the weight hanging from your manhood for 8 hours each day, for a period of 6 months. You will be fortunate if your manhood grows by around ½” at the end of it all. A variety of issues, such as burst blood vessels and torn tissue, are the main side effects of this method.
According to Berman however, you should not place your hopes on any penis enlargement ointments, pills, creams or supplements, as they are all ineffective.
Male Enhancement pills such as Vigrx Plus by Leading Edge Health have been very popular options in men with ED issues.
Undergoing Surgery To Enlarge Your Penis
There are two main surgical options when it comes to enlarging your manhood.
- Increasing The Length Of The Penis
The ligament connecting the penis to the pelvic bone is severed in the most common surgical procedure. The visible part of the penis protruding from the body may grow by no more than an inch in this procedure. This procedure simply reveals more of the hidden part of the penis instead of actually lengthening it. Stretching devices or weights should be worn for up to six months after the procedure to keep the ligament from reconnecting to the pelvic bone.
- Growing The Width Of The Penis
Anything from silicone grafts, silicone or even implanted fat can be used to increase the width of the penis in guys who are not satisfied with its girth.
When it comes to increasing the girth or length of an adult’s penis, these procedures have not been seen to be effective according to the American Urologic Association.
However, some men may experience better results by trying out a recent, potentially less risky method. This procedure makes the penis appear longer by disconnecting the scrotum to reveal an extended shaft, in men whose scrotum is attached higher on the shaft. O’Leary says that this procedure can be conducted on an outpatient basis as it only takes twenty minutes.
Risks Of Surgical Penile Enlargement Procedures
Think about the risks of undergoing a surgical procedure to enlarge your manhood before you get a penile improvement loan.
None of the available procedures are backed by sufficient research findings. These procedures are not approved by any major medical organization. To undergo procedures that are not approved in the United States, some men choose to travel to foreign countries. You need to take some time and consult your physician, to find out what the risks are, before you act on such thoughts.
You might be forced to live with damaged nerves, problems getting an erection, decreased sensitivity or suffer infections after undergoing a surgical penile enlargement procedure. Even worse, your manhood might even end up being shorter than before. Penis widening procedures are the most dangerous. Your penis might end up being uneven, bumpy or lumpy – ugly and misshapen – as a result.
There are no encouraging results from the few studies that have been conducted on this issue. Only 35 percent of 42 men were comfortable with the outcome after undergoing penile enlargement procedures involving the severing of the suspensory ligament, according to the findings of a European Urology study. 50 percent of participants chose to undergo additional procedures.
Penis Enlargement Is Not The Answer
Before you find yourself doing something too radical, it is recommended that you take some time to think about this issue carefully as it is common for men to feel like they have small penises.
It may be helpful for you to talk to a therapist or doctor. Men are more likely to stop thinking and looking for surgical procedures after being reassured that they have an average sized manhood by a physician.
Do not be quick to believe the dishonest claims made by unreliable penile enlargement products.
According to Berman, insecure men who believe that their penises hold all the power are the primary targets of penile enlargement ads.
You should not believe all the hype around having a huge penis, according to New York sex counselor Ian Kerner.
Kerner, who is has written books such as She Comes First, says that average is what you want to have when it comes to penis size. A very big manhood can be even more problematic than one that is much smaller in size. Vaginal or oral sex can be a problem for men whose penises are too big for their partners.
Think about this, you could end up with a painful, dysfunctional, bruised, thickened, lumpy and discolored penis after your quest for a bigger size; all this even before considering the cost/financial implications of penile enlargement. Is it sensible for you to risk your current penis size for marginal gains?
