Overview and Statistics

Many men are embarrassed about their penis size because they believe that it isn’t large enough to satisfy their partner or because they believe that they are inadequate as a man because of their size. The average penis size among white men, as described by the Alfred C. Kinsey Institute for Sex Research, is 6 inches. However, penis size can range between 3.75 inches and 9 inches long, with most men having a penis of between 5 and 7 inches long.

Whether your penis is smaller than average or if your penis size is inhibiting your self-confidence or your love life, you have options to change your penis size. Penile enlargement can give you the size and self-confidence that you have always desired. The options for increasing penis size include using specialized products designed to enlarge the penis, surgery, and pills.

Products

There are many products on the market that are designed to enlarge the penis. One option is a vacuum pump, or a “vacuum constriction device.” This device is made from a plastic or acrylic cylinder with a constriction ring. Place the device over the penis and turn the vacuum on if it is battery-powered or pump it manually. This draws blood into the penis, which makes it hard and increases the size. The constriction ring maintains the erection. This device can cause bruising or tissue damage if it is used for more than 20 or 30 minutes at a time, so be sure to remove the constriction ring after 30 minutes.

A penis stretcher is a device that is designed to be worn for part of the day or all day. As you wear it it exerts gentle pressure that may stretch the penis over time. Most penis extenders are meant to be worn for short periods of time at first, then over time as you become used to the device you wear it for longer periods. This prevents pain and bruising.

Penis Implant Surgery

Penile enlargement surgery is another option for men who would like to enlarge their penis permanently. There are many techniques for surgically enhancing the penis, some of which are more successful than others. Examples of penile enlargement surgeries include relaxing the ligament that holds the penis to the body, allowing it to hang more straight and thus appear larger, and surgically implanting devices and prosthetics into the penis.

One way to enlarge the penis is to surgically insert a silicon penile prosthesis under the skin. This surgery is generally safe and effective. Penile augmentation is achieved by placing a silicone implant inside the penis. This silicone prosthesis enlarges the penis both in length and in girth, or if you prefer, just length or girth.

Pills and Creams

There are many pills and creams on the market designed to increase penis size, either temporarily or permanently. Some pills and creams are effective whereas others may not be. Read the reviews and clinical studies, if any, to determine which product is right for you.

Some pills are just designed to cause an erection by increasing blood flow to the penis. This also has the effect of enlarging the penis, sometimes beyond what you may achieve with a natural erection. However, the effects are temporary as these pills are designed to help with erectile dysfunction and the effects only last for a short period of time. Most of these pills are available by prescription.

Other pills are designed to lengthen the penis over time. These pills typically claim to be made with a sex hormone or a combination of natural ingredients that can lengthen the penis over time. Because many of these pills claim to be supplements rather than medications, they are not evaluated by the United States Food and Drug Administration. As a result, there aren’t clinical trials or scientific data available to prove that these pills work. However, because these supplements cost less than surgery, many men try them.

Testosterone cream can be rubbed on the penis and over time, it increases the size of the penis. This technique is painless and generally considered to be safe.

Conclusion

If you are seeking penile enlargement, you have options. Read reviews and studies carefully to determine which product, cream or supplement is right for you. Alternatively, consult a plastic surgeon experienced in penile enlargement to determine what surgical options will fit your needs. You can have a larger penis and experience greater confidence.
