Penis Enlargement
- Scam?
GIVEN THE LARGE VARIATIONS
in human penis sizes, discord and dissatisfaction with one's
self are unavoidable. The longest erect penis recorded during
the famous Kinsey surveys was a shocking ten inches. That
is nothing compared to the 12" and 14" behemoths
reported in "L'Ethnologie du Sens Genitale",
and in Dr. David Reuben's "Everything You Always
Wanted to Know About Sex", respectively. If that
makes you want to cry, wait till you hear the good news -
the shortest functioning erect penis measurement according
to the Kinsey survey was 1 inch. There are, however, some
reports in medical literature of penises that do not extend
beyond 1 cm. when fully erect. Finally, just so you can know
which side of the fence you are hanging from, a study by the
Lifestyles Condom Co. indicated that the average erect length
of a male sex organ is 5.877 inches.
Women have often been reassuring
towards their mates in this regard. "Size doesn't matter",
they would say. Few men really believe that. In an online
poll that asked if respondents felt that penis size makes
a difference in a man's ability to sexually satisfy a partner,
46% of the respondents answered "Very much: Penis size
makes a big difference in a man's ability to sexually satisfy
a partner". Only 13% responded "Not at all: Penis
size makes no difference in a man's ability to sexually satisfy
a partner". The poll did not mention how many of the
respondents were women and how many were men, but the fact
is - men and women believe that size still does matter!
In "The Beefcaking of America," (Psychology Today
November/December 1994 issue) Jill Neimark reported the findings
from a questionnaire completed by some 1500 male and female
readers. The Neimark report suggests that a significant subset
of women who are financially independent and rate themselves
as physically attractive place a high value on male appearance.
A small group unabashedly declared not only an rather unsurprising
strong preference for better-looking men, they also indicated
that they cared more about penis size, both width and length,
than about the physical appearance of the man.
Niemark's survey results also suggests that men believe their
appearance has a larger impact on women than the majority
of women actually acknowledge. Men indicated they feel their
specific physical features, from hairline to penis size, strongly
influence their personal acceptability by women. "Size
does matter". Judging by the number of sites Google.com
returns on a search for "penis enlargement", that
seems to be a pretty popular opinion. As long as there are
men out there running around with 14" monsters, the rest
of the mortals will continue to judge themselves and pray
at the altar of everything that grants bigger penises. The
results of penis enlargement are not always pretty, considering
the various methods that are purportedly effective. Claims
range from the scientific to the outrageous, and some of them
can be downright nasty. Unlike lizards, men do not have the
power to regenerate lost appendages, so it is highly advisable
to do a little research before fooling around with Mother
Nature's precious gifts.
The following is a list of some penis enlargement methods
other than penis pills, followed by some
general comments about each;
Enlargement Creams
Enlargement creams do nothing more than increase blood flow
in the penis tissue. While this may definitely assist in erection
firmness (Which will cause the penis to appear and feel larger),
using creams cannot enlarge your penis. There is no known
medical evidence too support the claim that topical preparations
can do more than increase blood flow, unlike penis pills.
Penis Pumps
Penis pumps create a vacuum and force blood to the penis tissue.
According to Menstuff® Sexhealth columnist Dr. Williams,
pumps are mainly used by men who suffer from chronic insulin
dependent diabetes or circulatory disorders. They have such
poor blood circulation overall that they cannot obtain proper
blood flow in their penis area. By using a pump instead of
penis pills, the skin and underlying tissues are stretched,
allowing them to clamp off the blood flow and consequently
trap it in the penis. With the clamp firmly in place, brief
sexual encounters can occur. There is little medical evidence
that penis pumps cause any actual permanent increase in the
size of the penis. There is, however, bad news for "pumpers"
out there - after using penis pumps over a period of time,
some men claimed they were unable to get erections without
the aid of a pump.
Weights
This method of penis enlargement has been around for thousands
of years. Weights are suspended from the penis to stretch
it. With regular use, it can increase penis length - but at
a price: It makes the penis thinner, and because of the stretched
tissue, lessens the ability to achieve and maintain an erection.
This method can also cause a decrease in blood circulation
which can lead to serious problems including tissue damage.
Enlargement Surgery
Penis enlargement surgery (or phalloplasty) is the Titanic
of penis enlargement methods. It is huge, expensive and can
end up being the worst disaster of your life. It can lead
to serious complications like infection and scar tissue formation
which can cause a misshapened penis.
A well known horror story is that of Ron Nance, from Monterey,
Calif., who claims that following his penis enlargement surgery
he contracted a severe infection at the surgery site. He returned
to his doctor, who re-sutured the incision. The complications
persisted, and Nance claims he flew to Los Angeles a total
of nine times for repairs before turning to other surgeons
for help. Nearly two years later, with $20,000 invested in
the operation and repairs, Nance states that he remains not
only permanently scarred, but impotent. Other enlargement
surgery patients have complained of disfigurement, shortening,
loss of use of his penis, pain, swelling, excessive scarring,
lumpiness, shrinkage, uneven surface with what appears to
be cysts, and impotence.
Enlargement supplements / pills
Many penis pills are nothing more than vitamin
pills in disguise, and numerous men have been conned into
popping them expecting more than what vitamins can deliver. Penis pill salesmen Michael A. Consoli, Vincent J.
Passafiume, and several others have signed a consent agreement
forfeiting approximately $35 million dollars in seized cash
and property to settle charges that they had marketed penis
enlargement pills with false claims. Operating as C.P. Direct,
Inc., they claimed that their enlargement pill product "Longitude"
would permanently enlarge the penis by 1-3 inches. They are
not alonge.
So what penis enlargement supplements do work? The problem
in discovering this lies in the fact that there are approximately
5 new "amazing" penis enlargement pills that appear
on the market each month. Most of these products are nothing
but Vitamins mixed with a few herbal ingredients to produce
a penis pill. Users see NO gains, and this leads
to unhappiness and loss of faith in all enlargement supplements.
How do I choose a supplement?
As with most things, the way to do properly choose a product
is through systematic research. This will definately take
some time and effort, however if you obtain the results you
desire, in the end it will definitely be worth your while.
Some things to keep in mind:
Keep an Eye on the Ingredients
Stay away from any pill which contains Yohimbe. The FDA has
placed this substance on its warning list - supplements containing
this herb may cause side effects. A respectable supplement
site will contain a list of the ingredients that their products
contain. The ingredients only tell half the story, the actual
blending and quality of the ingredients also counts. This
is somewhat more difficult to determine, however.
Consider Your Present Health Condition
In general most penis pills are quite safe because
their ingredients are non-prescriptive, consisting mostly
of natural herbs. However, you should always read the ingredients
and consult a doctor before purchasing or taking them. Some
supplements have stated that men with diabetes or genital
nerve damage should avoid taking enlargement pills.
Don't Go For Lifetime Commitments
Penis enlargement pills can be expensive. They usually
cost anywhere between $40-$80 per month. If the product indicates
that you need to take "booster pills", it is usually
a bad sign.
Stick to Reality
If the product manufacturer claims you can have a penis so
large it will make a stallion turn green with envy, you can
most likely be sure they are selling you bottled scam instead
of penis pills. If the promise sounds too good to be true,
then you can assume it is. Sincere supplements will tell it
like it is: Results may and will vary from one individual
to another.
Check out the Other Benefits
These can include stronger erections, increased sexual stamina,
more intense orgasms, improvement in urinary flow, increased
blood circulation to genital area, higher sex drive, increased
sperm production and overall improvement in sexual function.
Couple the supplements with exercises
Most penis pill programs offer a set of free exercises
with their product. These should not be cast aside - they
are vital key to your enlargement process. Do them religiously
along with your supplement taking and you will NOT be dissapointed.
Conclusion
The penis inferiority complex has been documented for quite
some time, and has no doubt existed since men started bathing
and showering in full view of each other. Most men seem to
feel their penis is small and are envious of someone else's
member. This concern and dissatisfaction appears to stem from
the cultural belief that larger penises give greater pleasure
to women, and that women prefer a man with a huge penises.
So can you pump up with penis
pills? My answer is yes. Daily exercises and supplements
together can increase the size of your penis. But to do so,
you have to be smart, be aware, dedicated, and PLEASE be careful.
