Those exposed to western culture have been conditioned to believe the mindset ‘the bigger the better’ about all sorts of things, from cars to houses to portions in restaurants. This way of thinking extends to penile size as well. Big men are most likely to have slightly bigger penises, although, contrary to popular belief, there is no correlation between the size of a man’s nose or feet and the size of his organ.

Does it really make any difference when you’re having sex? For Samantha X, it matters - a lot. “Sure it matters - I’ve had some massive members in my time, and I really enjoyed them! I find that the bigger the penis, the greater the feeling.” In fact, a woman who doesn’t prefer a bigger-than-average penis is more of an exception rather than the norm. While men’s penis come in various colors, shapes and sizes, a study conducted by the Alfred C. Kinsey Institute for Sex Research has shown that the average penis size is anywhere from 5-7 inches. Size does not matter - to a certain extent - in order bestow a physical sensation upon a woman. “I once slept with a guy who had a stub for a cock and I couldn’t feel anything. I ended up going into the bathroom and satisfying myself - a situation I don’t care to repeat.”

The heart of the matter is that most women don’t like very small penises, whatever is done with them. A small, slender penis is not very rewarding in itself and many women complain that they ‘can’t feel anything,’ especially if their vagina has previously been stretched by having children. That does not necessarily mean that length-challenged men cannot be good lovers, but that penis size alone probably is not going to do it.

Research has confirmed that what most women want is a bigger-than-average penis, but what is really important is width rather than length. They say the ideal penis is one which is thick enough to stretch the woman’s vaginal opening and which can be felt inside their body, each time they have sex. “I would rather sleep with a guy who has a thick member than someone with a thin, reedy schlong that hits my cervix every time he penetrates me.”

Similarly, most of the 200 women interviewed representing all ages (over 18), sizes, ethnicities, and sexual habits opted for girth (or the circumference) over length, as they claimed to enjoy the feeling of a thick penis rubbing against their vaginal walls rather than having an unusually long penis poking against their insides.

When it comes to racial preferences, Samantha had this to say: “I’ve noticed that African-Americans are really well-endowed as compared to other nationalities. They also seem to be much more confident in bed knowing that they have the right size package.” One’s ethnic group does produce significant anatomical differences among males. For instance, black men are indeed bigger than Caucasian men, but only by half an inch or so, on average, while Asian men are about half an inch smaller on average.

All these information just show that women are turned on and satisfied by a large, thick, and powerful penis, not to mention they are visually stimulating as well. Women such as Samantha know how to appreciate well-endowed men, or even those just think they are, since they are usually much more sexually confident about their sack skills.

What man wouldn’t want to add another inch or two to his penis? I’m sure you’ve all been hit by countless amounts of spam emails telling you that you can have a King-Kong size penis all for the low, low price of $27!

Well let’s cut straight through the sales hype and get right to the truth, is penis enlargement possible or not? Well the answer to that is yes, but it’s not as perfect as you would imagine. Some techniques aren’t permanent, and when I say they aren’t permanent, I mean they may well only last for a few minutes! Which I’m sure you would agree is pretty much useless.

There are basically three different forms of penis enlargement, starting with exercises and devices such as jelqing and penis pumps, pills and patches, and the more expensive enlargement surgery.

So let’s start by taking a look at devices and exercises. When I said that a lot of techniques are non-permanent, on the top of that list would be penis pumps. These devices are generally up there on the laugh-o-meter with blow up sex dolls and cheap wigs. But apart from that they do actually work, well for a little while anyway.

Vacuum penis pumps work by sealing the penis inside a tube which has had the surrounding air removed. The pressure built up inside the tube will draw the blood and lymphatic fluid into the shaft of the penis which inflates it. To stop the penis from returning to its normal size after the pump has been removed, a constrictive ring has to be fitted to the base of the penis.

Now in comes the problem associated with vacuum pumps, the penis will stay this size for a mere few minutes. So for all the hassle and embarrassment you will gain an enlarged penis for a few minutes. That’s not to mention the dangers with vacuum pumps, such as burst blood vessels and nerve damage to the penis.

So let’s take a look at a natural way of enlarging the penis, commonly known as jelqing. Jelqing is very similar to masturbation, but unlike masturbation the idea is not to allow your penis to become erect, which is quite a hard task, no pun intended.

Jelqing is basically a form of massaging the penis, which supposedly recruits penis growth through forcing blood into the shaft of the penis, much like a vacuum pumping; this expands the penile tissues which in turn stimulate the production of tissue building proteins. So how is jelqing performed?

1. The penis is warmed through with the application of hot cloths.
2. The penis is stretched for a few minutes.
3. Lotion (or warm olive oil, if you’re a traditionalist) is applied to the hand and penis.
3. When the penis is tumescent (but not hard) the penis is squeezed at the base betwixt the thumb and forefinger and moved distally along the shaft forcing blood into the erectile chambers.
5. Repeat step 4 for fifteen minutes.

Does jelqing work I hear you cry? Well it’s not proven, but it cannot be denied that hundreds of men have achieved results from this massaging technique. I would say though, that these gains are not an overnight success, this technique will take some time before you will see any results, if any at all.

What about pills and patches?

Go to your email inbox and see if you have spam email from some magic penis enlargement pill company, I guarantee you’ll find one. As much as these emails and the other forceful marketing techniques, used by the companies that sell these magic beans get on our nerves, they do actually work, temporarily that is. But if it’s only temporary gains you’re after, which would you rather pop a pill or sit there pumping up your penis? I’ll leave that one up to you.

Pills and patches have two mechanisms, hormone stimulation and vasodilation. Hormone stimulation pills work by increasing the level of androgens such as testosterone, which increase the male sex drive, which supposedly results in harder and longer erections.

Vasodilators work by temporarily expanding blood vessels in the penis, which then allows more blood to flow into the penis, creating a bigger looking penis.

If you do decide to go this route, don’t get too mixed up in the pill Vs patches debate. They’re basically just two different forms of delivery, except that patches deliver the medication instantly, whereas with pills which need to be digested can take a short period of time before you will see results.

What about surgery?

Your penis is actually bigger than you might think! Yes that’s right, you have about one or two more inches underneath the skin. If you follow the shaft of your penis down you can feel where it is attached to the pubic arch. So therefore your penis is rooted lower than from the area it emerges.

The shaft is attached to the pubic arch by suspensory ligaments. The penis enlargement surgery entails severing these ligaments so that the penis falls forward out of the body. This form of penis enlargement if successful, will give the impression of being longer when it is flaccid, while it is erect however you will not see any gains in size.

What are the downsides and dangers of penis enlargement surgery?

Well apart from the obvious dangers of any type of surgery, there is actually a risk that you could fall victim to penis shortening! Ouch that’s the exact opposite of what you would want. Because the body immediately wants to repair itself, therefore scar tissue is formed, thus pulling the severed tissues together.

This is stopped by placing a permanent spacer in between the penis and the pubis. Another less than perfect risk is that your penis will exit lower than down your abdomen which will give the impression that your penis is coming out of your testicles.

Another obvious problem is that because the penis isn’t as anchored to the body as it once was, when it becomes erect it will pivot in a weird way, and it will not stick up, it will be more horizontal.

Well there’s the absolute honest truth, take from this what you will. But always remember that there are the more unscrupulous companies out there just trying to earn a quick buck from your discomfort, so whatever route you decide to go, remember if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!

A penis enlargement must be done when the person has consulted the health professional. There will be instances when the penis enlargement may not be needed. There are many ways to do the penis enlargement and they are available very easy. Out of them the sex pills will be chosen first as they are the easiest to use.

Some men may opt for surgery but not all of them will prefer this method as they are afraid of complications. Sex pills will mean slow reactions but the results will be satisfying too. The penis should be less than three inches after erection in size if it is to be called a small penis. This is called a micropenis.

This process should not be done in a hurry, because even those who have a micropenis can function sexually properly. Normally for this process, it is better to seek medical help before deciding what method to use for the enlargement or whether it is needed at all. If there is a problem with the penis, the partner is probably going to say something about it.

So until then nothing should be done about the enlargement of the penis. Many men try to manual squeezing but this is not a healthy method when it comes to trying to increase the size of the penis. Some people may try to push blood from the base of the penis to the tip so that it would become erect. Sometimes this may be very safe, but it may lead to disfigurement of the penis.

Some may even try using weights but again these methods may harm the penis. It will then have an overall effect on the individual’s health too. Hormones are also used like testosterone for the help in increase in the size of the penis. Vacuum pumps are also used by many men but they are not to be used as the tissues of the penis will get damaged.

It is good to have good communication with the partner all the while, and see that both are enjoying sexual encounters with each other. Healthy diet is a must and as much as possible, if a man suspects that he has a small penis, he should stop drinking as well as smoking. This will go a long way in helping with the condition of the body.

Seeking advice from a medical professional is the first thing to be done.

A lot of men are embarrassed to talk about their condition if they are unable to perform well sexually. Once they discover this, they will either stop talking to the partners about sex, and they will never seek medical advice. But today there are many ways to help with penis enlargement and one should not feel awkward about approaching a health professional about this.

There are herbal products that are available in the form of pills for this disorder. There are various types and various brands. There are also creams and surgery to get a better-sized penis. These creams are a good option, and many men prefer this to the sex pills. There is also surgery whereby the ligaments are cut and the size of the penis is enlarged, but this method is extremely dangerous.

A lot of stretching exercises can be done if one wants to enlarge the penis. As much as possible the person with this disorder must involve himself with physical exercises before he can take pills of any sort. A lot of methods are discussed about the enlarging of a penis, as it seems to be quite a common problem with men.

Some sex pills will have the desired effect in a matter of weeks. Not only will it increase the penis length, it will also increase the sex drive and also help maintain a good erection. It also helps with better orgasms and makes it more intense. There are also extenders that are available for expanding the size of the penis. If anyone is uncomfortable with the use of pills and creams they may use this.

The method is very discreet and it also can be done without any consultation from a doctor. Men may feel safe because this does not involve any surgery of any kind. They just have to fit in the extender and do what is necessary. This device is also very affordable and can be done without the help of anyone. While seeking medical advice, one can also ask for options.

If the person is not comfortable with a method, he should mention it to the health professional. There might be instances where the penis may not need enlargement, and it could be a psychological problem. Thus under all circumstances a man must seek the medical advice before doing anything. As much as possible one must maintain natural methods for penis enlargement.
