One in three men on the planet are unhappy with the length of their penis. We tell you how to change the size of your penis safely and effectively.
According to a study published in 2014, the average length of a man's penis when resting is 3. 61 inches (9. 16 cm) and when erect it is 5. 17 inches (13. 14 cm). At the same time, around 30% of men are not satisfied with the size of their penis and would like to enlarge it. Let's see which ways of doing this really work and which ones are best not to mess with.
Who needs penis enlargement?
About 30% of men are dissatisfied with the length of their penis, but, as sexologists note, in most cases the problem remains psychological. According to a study published in 2014, the average length of a man's penis when resting is 3. 61 inches (9. 16 cm) and when erect it is 5. 17 inches (13. 14 cm). If your measurements are close to those indicated (the deviation is 2 centimeters in each direction), you definitely do not need additional methods of penis enlargement. Doctors believe that it is worth taking measurements only if the length of the penis in a relaxed state is 4 cm or less, and in erection - 7. 5 cm or less.
How Does Penis Size Affect Sex?
Whether it's vaginal or anal penetration, most women don't really like being penetrated by a partner whose penis is too big. Too small is also a challenge. But some studies have examined the relationship between physical characteristics such as penis length and emotional attachments and have not found a direct link between size and feelings.
Duration is only one, but not the main, factor in why people are together.
Depending on your size, your partner may want to use more or less lube, but that's not the most critical factor in the relationship.
If your penis is small, how can you improve sex?
Most likely, you will do without lubricant. Plus, you probably want to get as much sensation as possible. Some men use extenders - special tools that allow you to add two, four, six centimeters, etc. , to length. Others prefer to focus more on oral sex or use additional sex toys. In addition, a number of positions, such as spooning, are not suitable for you - the penis will constantly slip. Therefore, in such cases, the best poses are in missionary and with the partner on top.
Which penis enlargement methods work?
Vacuum pumps and pumps
These devices do not permanently enlarge the penis, but they increase blood flow just before sex. The erection becomes more stable and the penis itself becomes a little longer. Pumps and pumps are traditionally used in conjunction with an erection ring, which is placed around the base of the penis, preventing blood flow and thus ensuring an erection.
Pills
Medications used to treat erectile dysfunction cannot increase the physical size of your penis, but they can stimulate greater blood flow. And thus ensure a more pronounced and lasting erection. But it is important to remember that such medications must be prescribed by a doctor, in no case should you take them yourself!
Aesthetic changes
Surprisingly, it is not necessary to directly influence the penis to lengthen it: some changes affecting nearby body parts will have the desired effect. The simplest is to cut or completely eliminate pubic hair: they "eat" at least one centimeter. Losing weight will also be very helpful: if you suffer from obesity in the lower abdomen (the so-called suprapubic fat pad), getting rid of it will add one to three centimeters to the length of the penis.
What penis enlargement products don't work?
Lotions, creams and ointments
None of the drugs of this type, for which the Internet is full of advertisements, works. First, none of them have been certified by agencies that test drug safety. And secondly, there is not a single study that would prove their effectiveness. We are really sorry.
Elongation
Stretching exercises are not only useless, but can also be dangerous for your penis: with constant stress, you will only weaken the connective tissue and supporting ligaments. Yes, it may appear longer in a relaxed state, but this will not affect its size during an erection. But the erection itself can suffer.
The only situation in which jelqing may be justified is Peyronie's disease, which is an abnormal curvature or deformation of the penis. But even then, only a doctor can recommend exercises and he will determine when to stop exercising.
Injectable medications
Different types of fillers injected into the penis, in most cases, do not increase the length, but the girth of the penis. But doctors still do not recommend resorting to such procedures: first, the effect lasts only a few years, then the procedure must be repeated. Second, the risk of penis deformation is high. And thirdly, the procedure itself often leads to dangerous side effects: infections, rejection reactions and the formation of scar tissue, which reduces the sensitivity of the penis and negatively affects potency.
Penile implants
Silicone implants placed inside the penis can actually increase not only the diameter, but also the length of the penis. However, doctors do not recommend undergoing this operation due to the risk of infection, rejection, and scar tissue formation.
What are other penis enlargement methods?
Cut the ligaments
Some surgeons may perform lengthening surgery by cutting the ligaments of the penis, allowing it to protrude a little further from the body. Of course, this is associated with serious risks: the formation of scar tissue, pain during erection, the same infections or, for example, loss of sensitivity (or even all, so to speak, function). Plus, the price is quite high and studies have shown that the procedure adds about 1. 2 centimeters. Okay, that’s not what patients expect.
But after such plastic surgery, it may be difficult to maintain an erection and generally penetrate where needed in certain positions.
Make the fat swell
In this procedure, surgeons first perform liposuction, pumping out some of the patient's fat from another location, and then inject it into the affected area using a syringe. As a result, as tireless researchers noted, a slight increase in length (less than 2. 5 centimeters), girth (a little more than 2. 5 centimeters) and, so to speak, weight of theThe organ is possible. The main ambush is not eternal: over time, your fat friend can return to its original size. Additionally, as with any surgical procedure, there are certain risks. Here's an example: A 30-year-old patient died after penis enlargement surgery because fat entered his lungs and made it difficult for him to breathe.
Injecting platelet-rich plasma (blood)
A relatively new method, the procedure involves extracting platelet-rich plasma and injecting it into the penis, which should stimulate blood flow and ultimately enlarge the organ.
"The classic protocol involves injections to mechanically pump blood over several weeks, which stretches the suspensory ligaments to increase their length and improve circulation, " explains Chen. "Advanced programs that add stem cells and exosomes are also very popular in my practice because they provide faster and more lasting improvements in functionality and size.
But right now, there simply isn't enough research to consider this technique a good long-term option.
Put on the nozzle (for sex)
They are sold in adult stores and simply put on the penis, like a condom - but larger and usually made of silicone. The accessories were originally developed for medical purposes, but today many people use them as sex toys. "They add thickness and length and may have ridges or other texture on the outer or inner wall to stimulate either partner.
