More Information for Men about Male Enhancement

For most men of us difficulty with erections can be damaging to us and the health of our relationship.

Despite more understanding about the causes of erectile dysfunction, as well as a growing number of effective treatments, many men are too embarrassed or do not have enough information to seek medical help.

About 90 percent of men with erectile dysfunction don’t talk to a doctor about the problem, so can’t be treated effectively.

What is erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction is: Persistent inability to attain and/or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. The occasional temporary erectile failure due to tiredness, stress or excessive alcohol consumption is not the same thing.

Erectile dysfunction is a long-term, recurrent medical problem needing proper diagnosis and treatment. Dispelling the following myths about erectile dysfunction (the more precise term for impotence) will help men and their partners to understand the condition and open channels of communications between them and medical professionals.

MYTH 1

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION MEANS LOSS OF INTEREST IN SEX, LACK OF VIGOUR OR STERILITY

FACT:

In most cases, affected men retain desire and the ability to have an orgasm and ejaculate. Erectile dysfunction means a difficulty with erections, not a loss of interest in sex, sterility, or a lack of strength, vigour or power.

MYTH 2

DIFFICULTY WITH ERECTIONS IS NOT THAT COMMON AND DOESN’T AFFECT REAL MEN

FACT:

Erectile dysfunction is common with estimates of more than 100 million men worldwide suffering the condition to some degree.

MYTH 3:

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION IS A NATURAL PART OF GROWING OLD

FACT:

There is a higher incidence of erectile dysfunction among older men because of age-related conditions, including vascular disease, diabetes and medications for these conditions. Although it mainly affects older men, it also occurs in younger males. Erectile dysfunction should not be considered a natural or acceptable part of the ageing process.

MYTH 4:

MOST CASES OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION ARE DUE TO A PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEM

FACT:

Seventy to ninety percent of men suffering from erectile dysfunction have an underlying physical cause for their impotence, although psychological factors may also play a role. Erectile dysfunction is a medical condition often caused by other health problems, including diabetes, cardiovascular conditions and trauma. The physical risk factors for erectile dysfunction fall into five main groups: Vascular disorders – circulatory problems that interfere with blood supply to the penis including hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), diabetes, high blood pressure and abnormally raised blood cholesterol. Lifestyle factors – smoking, which exacerbates vascular problems such as high blood pressure, alcohol and drug abuse. Neurological disorders including multiple sclerosis and trauma resulting in pelvic or spinal cord injury. Surgery (e.g. for prostate disease) and radiation therapy. Some drugs prescribed to treat high blood pressure, depression, heart disease, gastric ulcers and cancer. Overall, diabetes is the single most common condition linked with erectile dysfunction and it is estimated that nearly half of men with diabetes have some degree of erectile dysfunction.

MYTH 5:

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION DOESN’T AFFECT YOUR HEALTH AND YOU SHOULD LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT

FACT:

Erectile dysfunction is a significant source of emotional stress, and can lead to poor self-image, loss of self-confidence and depression. Unfortunately, embarrassment and unwillingness to discuss sexual matters openly mean erectile dysfunction often remains undiagnosed and untreated. It is important to seek medical advice and appropriate treatment.

MYTH 6:

THE DIAGNOSIS OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION INVOLVES LOTS OF EMBARRASSING AND INVASIVE TESTS

FACT:

The diagnosis of erectile dysfunction involves techniques such as taking a medical and sexual history, asking about smoking, alcohol and medications. Only a standard physical examination is usually needed, including taking your blood pressure. Laboratory tests on blood and urine will help identify any underlying medical cause that may need treatment.

MYTH 7:

THERE’S NO POINT IN SEEKING TREATMENT AS ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION IS NOT EASILY TREATED

FACT:

In the majority of cases, erectile dysfunction can be successfully treated. It is therefore important for patients to seek advice from their doctor, for the good of themselves, their partners and their relationships.

Is there a cure for Peyronies disease?

The answer to this question is both yes and no. Although there are methods in place that can help reduce, if not cure, peyronies completely – such as penile corrective surgery and penis enlargement devices – actually preventing peyronies before it occurs is still not possible. All you can do is learn how to handle it.

What is Peyronies?

Caused by the development of fibrous tissues on the inner lining of your penis, peyronies is reputed to affect 388 out of 100,000 men across the world between the age groups of 40-60 years old.

Yet despite this classification peyronies has been found in men as young as their teens causing penile curvatures of between 30° to 60°. But the main problem with this condition is the health risks it can cause if left untreated.

Alongside its ability to make penetration uncomfortable, peyronies can cause impotency removing your chances of having children in the future. For this reason penis enlargement devices and surgeries could make the difference to helping you lead a better life.

Penile correction surgeries

There are various male enhancement surgeries available, but the best 3 would have to be: placation, excision-grafting and prosthetic implantation. Known to be effective in correcting penile curvatures, these surgeries do as a whole work. The only problem with them is the possible risk they each incur, as we shall now explain.

Plication surgery

Designed to reduce the length on one side of your penis to match the other, this method should remove the curvature and straighten your penis. That being taken into account, this surgery as a result will shorten the length of your penis as a whole.

Excision-Grafting surgery

Based around applying a graft to your penis once an incision has been made into the lump on the tunica albuginea, this procedure on the one hand does straighten your penis. Its only consequence is a risk of deformity that can come as a result of blood vessels dying in the graft.

Alongside risks of deformation, grafts are known to cause the penis to shorten (with time) and induce impotency.

Prosthetic Implantation surgery

Utilising a semi-rigid silastic inflatable cylinder, this device is inserted into the corpora cavernosa to promote the straightening of your penis. You need to be careful with this procedure though as this too can cause impotency.

Penis enlargement devices

Specifically designed to encourage tissue cell generation in your penis chamber, the use of Medical Type 1 materials within a penis traction device means users can experience male enhancement benefits of increased blood flow, a penis length increase of up to 3 inches and penile corrections of 60%.

Surgery or penis enlargement devices?

Both penile correction surgeries and penis enlargement devices can ease penile curvatures, but out of the two methods available traction devices can by far offer users the most security.

Risk free and medically backed by European CE standards, penis traction devices hold none of the risks that can come with surgery. Deformities and impotency… none of these are evident within these types of devices. Instead consumers can use a credible, affordable device that can cure their curved penis by 60% whilst naturally increasing their penis size by up to 30%.

Andrew Coyne is a leading expert in the area of general penis health and safe, medically endorsed penis enlargement methods. His expertise has led him to be a spokesperson for sufferers of bent penis syndrome and peyronies.

National average penis size – what is it?

Beyond the myth and stereotype that every culture has got a different average penis size, the truth of the matter is that everyone is generally the same. No matter where you are from the national average penis size is up to 6 inches.

A fact that is further proved by studies performed by the Journal of Urology (1996) and Lifestyle Condoms (2004). In these 2 separate studies they came to the same conclusion that on average men are between 5.08 to 5.9 inches.

History behind this penis size obsession

As far back as 2,000 years ago, depictions of large members have been associated with figures of authority. Gods, leaders, people of position… every one of them is displayed as having a large penis. With this kind of background in place it is easy to see why some men strive to increase their penis size through natural male enhancement and penis enlargement methods. It is only natural.

Then there is the genetics of it all.

Until puberty, men experience limited penis growth. Stuck at 2.4 inches in length, it is only when their bodies begin to transgress into adulthood that their penis once more grows.

Now taking into consideration that there is no set age for puberty – with some beginning as early as 11 and others waiting until 15 years old – during this period no adolescent is the same. They are all at different stages of development which makes those locker rooms moments even more understandable. But as a result has left many men resting with these insecurities into adulthood.

Small penises – do they exist?

Unfortunately micropenises do exist and they occur in 0.6% of men.

Caused by a deficiency in testosterone levels during the 2^nd and 3^rd trimester of pregnancy, this hormone reduction results in a stunting in penis growth that will continue with them into adulthood.

These cases of micropenis though are rare, and are easily identifiable as individuals with this condition can only experience erection sizes of 2 inches, compared to the average male.

Luckily, advances in science and penis enlargement devices means this condition no longer has to feel like a problem but can be cured.

Traction devices in particular can encourage natural penis enlargement of 2.75 inches through the stimulation of new tissue cells within the penis chambers.

Male Enhancement Facts

Do you believe that circumcision is a key factor in your arousal?

Circumcision is common in some countries more than others. Over 60% of newborn babies in the U.S. are circumcised compared to 24% in the U.K. and 14% in Australia. Some males are circumcised for medical considerations, others for personal reasons or simply parental choice. But, does whether a guy is cut or uncut impact your level of arousal?

Male circumcisions are performed all over the world. There is currently a lot of debate about circumcision in the U.S. and whether it should be carried out routinely on baby boys.

Circumcisions are carried out for a number of reasons; social, cultural, religious and more rarely, for medical reasons. Circumcision is common within the Jewish and Islamic faith communities. Worldwide circumcisions are carried out by people ranging from surgeons, religious leaders, to tribal healers.

Some Facts About Foreskin Restoration

Foreskin restoration has been described even before Celsus, the first great Roman physician (25 B.C. to A.D. 50), wrote “De Medicin.”  The procedure used today is only somewhat adapted from what had been done then so “the patient could move around inconspicuously in Greek and Roman society.”  Celsus drew heavily on his Egyptian and Greek predecessors. Jews felt uncomplete in Greek society and circumcision was looked at as a deformity. Some Jews would try to have their foreskin “put” back on to try to fit in with Greek culture.

In the U.S., the rate of circumcision is coming down according to the most recent statistical data on circumcision published in 1999. Circumcision used to be higher for white infants. Now, black and white rates are about the same according to data from the National Hospital Discharge Survey. Hispanics, in general, do not routinely have circumcisions carried out on their newborn children.

Because the reasons and circumstances vary, it is difficult to accurately estimate the total number of cases of circumcisions. The United States has one of the highest rates of male circumcision with over 60 percent of newborn males born in a hospital having one. This is down from the rate of 85 percent recorded in the 1970s. Over 1.25 million infants are circumcised annually; that’s more than 3,300 babies each day.

What you should know before restoring your foreskin:

There are many methods available on the net to restore foreskin; however very few are from certified medical professionals. Be sure to consult a physician before attempting foreskin restoration.

Foreskin restoration can take from 1-3 years to complete.

Factors such as available penis shaft skin, frequency of techniques and desired amount of coverage play a role in how long it will take to restore your foreskin

Many patients, as an alternative to surgery, may elect to use stretching devices under urological supervision which could produce an acceptable result in 2 to 3 years.

With a surgical procedure, the skin of the distal shaft is advanced forward to create a neo-foreskin. This leaves a denuded area at the base of the penile shaft, which is buried under t he scrotum.  The pigmentation of scrotal skin is a close match to epithelial penile skin.  A catheter is left in for a few days and a dressing is placed over the foreskin pulling it forward until the laminated skin heals.

After an interval of 3 months, the penis is lifted from the scrotum with wings of scrotal flaps on both sides.  The flaps are closed underneath the penis.  The scrotum is also closed at that time.  Variation in technique may be required to best suit the unique anatomy of each patient and erections must be suppressed with anti-testosterone medication.

With the recent death of actor David Carradine possibly being linked to sexual asphyxiation, this strange and bizarre fetish is once again in the news. Carradine is not the first star believed to have died from this fetish, as Michael Hutchence, former lead singer of INXS, was believed to have passed from this accidental death, too. While most of the media and the authorities like to claim that these are suicide attempts, the sad truth is that most hangings are not suicide attempts but failure to save them in time during sexual arousal.

Most hangings that occur every year across the world are not from suicide. Most persons found hung are male and found naked with a small percentage of those who die from autoerotic asphyxiation being women. This is usually a clue to what happened like pornographic material scattered about  but for some reason the media and police want to cover up the cause of death as if it is easier to accept that someone wanted to willing die than to admit to the world that they died messing around with a dangerous and deadly fetish.

Sexual asphyxiation has been used for centuries as a questionable form of male enhancement. The idea for this most likely came from subjects who were executed by hanging. Observers at public hangings noted male victims developed an erection, sometimes remaining after death, and occasionally ejaculated when being hanged.  It was believed to be first used as a treatment for erectile dysfunction and impotence.

Yearly, there are around 250 to 1000 accidental deaths in the United States alone from this fetish, but most cases are reported as suicide.  

There are several methods used to attain the level of oxygen depletion needed such as suffocation, hanging, and the use of rope or cloth used by a partner. In those who practice BDSM, this is referred to as edgeplay or breathplay, and usually involves limits and control to this consensual activity. But even with care, the results of erotic asphyxiation can be dangerous and deadly even to those who who understand the controls need to safely execute this fetish.

The most dangerous forms of this fetish involve autoerotic asphyxiation as when the threshold needed to achieve pleasure is reached.  Most people do not have a way to stop from going over into death. Deaths often occur when the loss of consciousness caused by partial asphyxia leads to loss of control over the means of strangulation, resulting in continued asphyxia and death.

While often erotic asphyxiation is incorporated into sex with a partner, others enjoy this behavior by themselves, making it potentially more complicated to get out of dangerous situations. Victims are often found to have rigged some sort of rescue mechanism that has not worked in the way they anticipated as they lost consciousness.

 While fetish play is usually healthy for an active and engaging sex life, you should never engage in this dangerous and deadly fetish, even with a partner who understands the risk. There are many other alternatives to male impotence and male inadequacy and you should seek the help of a doctor before trying any method of sexual arousal and male enhancement.

Male Enhancement Alternatives

While penis enlargement pills are not the most effective way to have natural male enhancement, there are other methods that have been proven to help with male inadequacy and sexual arousal like genital beading and penis piercing.

While not as popular as penis piercing, pearling, or genital beading, is the practice of inserting pearls or metal beads inside the skin of the penis to enhance pleasure. This practice is well documented in Japan as when yakuza are sent to prison, they have a custom of inserting one pearl into their penis for each year incarcerated.

Genital beading is a body modification which involves the implantation of beads under the skin of the shaft of the penis. These are done primarily for the purpose of physical stimulation (for both the wearer and their partner), as well as everywhere for aesthetic reasons. Genital beading is more commonly done by men, but, recently, a handful of women have adapted this mod as well.

It is important to note that not all sexual partners enjoy the feeling of genital beads. If your partner doesn’t like studded dildos and condoms, you may want to consider not getting this modification. Also, the legality of this procedure varies from region to region, but in general, similar laws apply to small-scale beading as apply to genital piercing.

Beads can be placed using a technique very similar to a frenum piercing, except that the jewelry is left entirely inside the wound, rather than with the ends protruding. When the entrance and exit holes heal, the bead is thus trapped inside. The piercing is made with either a scalpel or a large gauge piercing needle. A taper follows, enlarging the hole to accept the bead, which is pushed by a second rod. The taper and the pusher rod (often combined into a beading tool) place the bead, and are then removed. The incisions are usually closed with either a standard suture or a butterfly bandage. Genital Ribs are typically placed using this method as well.

Once in place, the implants are, essentially, permanent, although they can be surgically removed. Assuming the bead is of a high-quality material and was placed with proper attention to anatomy and sterility concerns, healing beading should be relatively uneventful and trouble-free. Other than regular washing, no aftercare should be required (if sutures were used, they can be taken out at home about a week later using cuticle scissors and tweezers).

In the rare case that beadings become infected, a doctor will probably prescribe antibiotics. Because there is no real way for these modifications to drain, in the case of infection, you may be required to have the implants removed.

In very rare cases (usually due to poor placement, but not always), rejection can happen, where the implant first blisters or bruises and then rejects up through the skin like a splinter and falls out. Migration, where the beads shift around under the skin and change their layout, is quite common. It can be minimized by giving the beads time to heal (as the skin layers reattach, they should bind the beads in place), but even that can’t guarantee it, so do be prepared for beads not to look ‘perfect.

Male Enhancement Alternatives

For those that want to increase sexual pleasure for their partner without taking the risks associated with penis enlargement pills and other forms of natural male enhancement, then getting a penis piercing is a safe and effective way to enhance sexual performance.

It’s important that you get any piercing done by a professional with a good standing, preferably someone who has been recommended to you. Sterilized equipment and clean premises are extremely important to avoid spread of a number of serious & life-threatening diseases.

Piercing is a simple procedure. A needle punctures the skin, then the bar or ring is put through the opening made by it. The piercing can be through the foreskin, the skin on the shaft of the penis, the scrotum and the head of the penis. It must not pierce straight through the shaft of the penis as this could cause serious damage.

It can take up to two months for a piercing to heal. During this time do not remove the piercing while the wound is healing. Keep the wound clean. A rash on the area surrounding the piercing may mean that you are allergic to the metal type. Surgical grade steel, titanium, gold or platinum are usually non-reactive.

Urinary infections sometimes occur. Signs and symptoms are burning sensation when you urinate and occasionally, blood in the urine. Redness and soreness at the site of the piercing is common when you first get it done. Any bleeding should only a small amount at the time of the piercing and should stop when a little pressure is applied. Any significant amounts of blood loss should be brought to the attention of a doctor.

HIV and Hepatitis B and C are blood borne diseases that can be caught from unsterilized needles. The Hepatitis B and C viruses can live outside the body for a significant period of time and both diseases can make you, not only very sick but can be life threatening. Hep B and C are much more easily transmitted than HIV. If you are diabetic you have a higher risk of infection so see your doctor first.

People from certain ethnic groups, Hispanics, Africans and Asian are more susceptible to keloid scarring for all types of body piercing and tattoos.

Types of Penis Piercings

When choosing a piercing over penis enlargement pills or other methods of natural male enhancement, you have to do some research to find the piercing that is right for you.

The Prince Albert (PA)

The Prince Albert piercing is one of the more common male genital piercings. The PA pierces the penis from the outside of the frenulum and into the urethra. There exists the related “reverse Prince Albert piercing” which enters through the urethra and exits through a hole pierced in the top of the glans.

Dydoe

While some piercers may choose to avoid the nerve bundle that runs along the center of the frenulum altogether, others do not. The piercing may be centered if the bearer is circumcised. Otherwise, the piercing will be done to the side because the surrounding skin needs to be able to reposition itself dynamically.

The Dydoe piercing is preferred by, but not limited to, men who have been circumcised. It is also somewhat anatomy dependent, because the edge of the penis head (glans) must be large enough for the needle and jewelry. The needle is placed through this ridge on either the top or sides of the glans. Speculation has been made that it enhances sexual feeling that is lost due to circumcision. The piercing may be done as a single piercing, but is many times done in pairs or multiples. Some possible complications are slower healing due to a moist environment created by heavy foreskin (on an uncircumcised penis), rejection of the jewelry, or tearing due to rough sexual activity

Foreskin Piercing

The foreskin piercing is obviously limited to the uncircumcised penis. Unlike ancient times when this was used as a chastity device for slaves, today it is used for sexual enhancement. The foreskin can be pierced with either single or multiple piercings. There are not too many complications usually involved with this piercing, although rough sexual activity could cause the piercing to tear. Care should be taken to ensure the piercing is well healed and stable enough before engaging in sexual intercourse.

Frenum Peircing

The Frenum is a very popular male piercing, second only to the Prince Albert. Its quick healing time and minimal pain and complications make for a very desirable piercing. The needle pierces through the flexible skin of the underside of the shaft just behind the glans (head) of the penis. There are two other variations of the frenum piercing: The lorum (lower frenum placed at the base of the shaft near the scrotum) and the ladder (several frenum piercings from the base of the shaft to the top).

Lorum Piercing  The Lorum is a lower frenum placed at the base of the shaft near the scrotum. Care and healing times are essentially the same, but care should be taken to keep clean, dry and free of pubic hair during healing time.

Frenum Ladder  A frenum ladder is a row of several frenum piercings from the base of the shaft up to the top. How many piercings you can wear on your ladder depends on shaft length and skin resilience.

Guiche Peircing

The Guiche (geesh’) is also known as the Perineum because of its location. This is not a very common piercing because of the associated complications. The piercing itself is located under the scrotal sac near the anus. Due to temperature, lack of ventilation and perspiration, this piercing can be difficult to heal. There is also a large risk of jewelry migration and/or rejection, as it is essentially a surface piercing. This piercing is not recommended for men who ride bicycles or spend a large amount of their day sitting

Scrotum Piercing

The scrotum piercing has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are that the scrotum can pretty much be pierced anywhere and is relatively painless due to the thin elasticity of the skin. The disadvantages are that the location and placement of the piercings can be irritated easily and make the healing process difficult. Natural perspiration and lack of ventilation can suffocate the piercing and make it difficult to heal. Scrotum piercing placement (depth) is very critical, as the sac cannot be penetrated or it could cause severe infection.

Shaving the scrotum can be helpful in aiding the healing process, but care should be taken to ensure it is rinsed clean of any soap or shaving product afterward.

As always, please do some research before going forth with any procedure or herbal supplement that is designed for male enhancement.

Male Enhancement Methods

Besides the use of penis enlargement pills, there are several other methods on the market for providing natural male enhancement. One of these methods is the use of a penis pump.

Doctors view the penis pump-or “vacuum constriction device,” as it’s called in the business-as a reasonable, low-cost treatment for erectile dysfunction. A report from the American Urological Association says that constriction devices might be useful in cases where PDE5-inhibitor drugs like Viagra are ineffective. Still, most men (or couples) don’t like using the penis pump: The report concludes that “low patient acceptability limits the application or use of this therapy.”

A vacuum pump is very simply a cylinder that fits the penis tightly so that no air can get into the cylinder, and the air that is in there gets pushed out. It is a vacuum pressure that helps to stretch the tissues in the penis so that they fill up with more blood and your erection can get bigger and stronger than ever before.

Now that you know how it works, you may be wondering if it works. Vacuum devices sound good in theory, but rarely do they actually work longer than just temporarily, and they could cause significant damage to your penis if used over a long period of time. You are essentially subjecting your penis to such pressure that it can rupture your blood vessels and cause internal bleeding. Although it is true that the blood vessels will heal in time, if you use the pump over a long period of time, it can cause damage that is irreversible.

The vacuum pumps have proved successful in studies of penile rehabilitation. Certain procedures-like radical prostatectomies-can cause temporary impotence as a result of nerve damage. If you go long enough without a spontaneous erection, some of your penile tissue can atrophy, causing long-term dysfunction. It turns out that postoperative use of a penis pump may help stave off this damage.

Penis pumps are available over the counter, and some men without ED use them for masturbation or to increase their length or girth. To accomplish this latter goal, vendors suggest 30-minute sessions three or four times per week for a period of several months. The medical literature, however, does not support the idea that vacuum constriction will produce a lasting change in penis size.

If anything, overuse of the pump can damage the penis. The American Urological Association recommends only those devices that come with a “vacuum limiter,” which automatically lets in air if too much negative pressure builds in the tube. Excessive pumping without the vacuum limiter can cause penile bruising, or-in extreme cases-very serious tissue damage.

Whether you are thinking of taking penis enlargement pills or other methods for male enhancement, please contact a physician and see if your issues of male inadequacy can be solved through medical and psychiatric treatment.

So many men want to increase the size of their penis and are willing to try all sorts of techinques to gain male enhancement and end up falling prey to charlatans and scams.

So what are the truths? 

The truth is most men are sensitive about their penis size and late night infomercials are now targeting this market. In fact, the market is growing so huge, that the FCC is considering limiting the time of day these commercials should run. From Viagra to Enzyte, television is saturated with ads on penis enlargement pills and male enhancement drugs, and with a new market for Medicare approved vacuum pumps. The worst part about this industry is every male wants to learn the facts, but none are going to ask their buddy about what they use to make them larger.

So what is the truth?

Do these products work?

Well, that depends on what your expectations are. For those that are seeking simply to increase the duration of an erection, then medically approved products like Viagra or Cialis work well. But for those who want to increase the size of their penis, the issues are more complicated. Pills like Enzyte and Extenze have never been evaluated by the FDC for effectiveness and you should be cautious before sending out for their free samples because they are not free in the long run.

So what are some of the ways to enlarge your penis?

Surgery

Involving cutting the suspensory ligament that controls the elongation of your penis, surgery does work and can even increase the girth by placing fat sheaths inside the shaft. This technique is known to work, but can have lasting residual effects like irregular tilting and the fat settling in the wrong areas.

Hanging Weights

One of the oldest and most barbaric ideas in male enhancement, this method can increase the length of a flaccid penis, but should never be done due to long term damage like lesions and insensitivity.

Exercise

Some people promise exercise techniques to strengthen your member and make it bigger. But do not fall for this concept. The simple fact is there are no muscles in your penis and it can’t become larger due to exercise.

Vacuum Pumps

While these products do work, they are only a temporary increase due to pushing blood into the penis. There are real long term ways to damage yourself if using these with the worst being the breaking of the blood vessels in your penis.

Medication and Pills

As I stated, the male enhancement industry is huge right now and there are a lot of companies selling placebos and making millions of dollars off of men just looking for way to feel adequate. While there are pills that can enhance your erection, there are no FDA tested and approved penis enlargement pills, so take these pills at your own risk.

Human Growth Hormones

While there is some evidence that HGH helps penis growth during puberty, there is no evidence that is works after this point. Using HGH can have serious side effects that lead to diabetes.

Penis Patch

A new version of an old trick, the penis patch is just another method to use the same herbs that are in the pills with the same effects.

There is only one natural way to increase your penis. If you are overweight, every thirty to forty pounds you lose will add about an inch to your size. So if you fat and small, lose weight, and if you skinny and small, there might be no help for you at all.

Here are some facts about the top male enhancement pills on the market Entenze, Extagen, and Enzyte.

Extenze

A few years back in the late night infomercial business, Ron Jeremy, one of the most recognized male porn stars in the world, began pitching natural male enhancement with the help of big-breasted women and the world came to know Extenze as another leader in the penis enlargement pill market. Now, five years later, Extenze dominates the market, in the same way that Enzyte has, by offering a free sample to anyone who wants a longer, bigger penis.

So you ask does Extenze work?

Well, just like the makers of Enzyte, the company responsible for pushing this late night natural male enhancer on you has also been involved in lawsuits relating to unfair business practices and false advertising. Also, after several people became sick in California from taking the pills, they were found to have dangerous levels of lead in them.

But beyond the legalities of Dish Direct Incorporated, the manufacturers of Extenze, the FDA has not evaluated these, or any other penis enlargement pills, to have any effectiveness. Two of the ingredients in these “natural male enhancers” are Zinc and DHEA. These products have been known to positively affect your libido if your levels are already low in your body. They can be found much cheaper than the price of Extenze, but should be taken with precautions because an overdose can carry potential health risks. Also, DHEA is an anabolic steroid and carries its own precautions.

The other issue is that on their infomercials, they state that these penis enlargement pills can take up to thirty days to take effect. They do send you a free sample, but you have to enroll in their program which entitles you to receive a new supply every thirty days for an inflated cost. If you sign up and forget to cancel before your thirty days are up, you are stuck with some more useless pills.

While they claim to have an expert, Dr. Daniel S. Stein, that has evaluated the effectiveness of this particular natural male enhancer, there are no approved FDA experts on penis enlargement pills.  Because Extenze falls under herbal supplements, and not pharmaceutical drugs, the FDA does not regulate this industry.

Whether these pills seem to work because you are low on zinc, or because of placebo effect, the only benefit you will get is a sustained erection and not a significant gain in penis size.

Extagen

There is another natural male enhancer out there that claims to actually work. Its name is Extagen and it is growing in popularity among the penis enlargement pill market. Unlike Extenze or Enzyte, Extagen does not push free samples on you but instead offers a 100% money back guarantee for the first 120 days.

But does Extagen work?

Unlike the other companies, Extagen comes off as an honest company that cares about your erectile dysfunction. The pills are manufactured in a world class FDA approved facility and there website is displayed in a classy, medically informative way that tries to answer all your questions.

Except, it doesn’t.

If you search the web about Extagen, you will find tons of articles devoted to honest reviews that swear that this penis enlargement pill really works. But if you look closely, all these pages are similar and all have links back to their product.

How can you have an honest review then link back to the merchandise?

Unlike the flashy campaigns of Enzyte and Extenze, Extagen has chosen to go the route of keyword saturation and to dominate the market in SEO style. If you search for this product on Google, you have to weigh through several dozen sites before you find the truth about this natural male enhancement.

There are several ingredients in these pills that have been known to provide erection and sexual arousal like maca extract and ginseng. But the biggest problem with Extagen is that it contains yohimbe extract. While this supplement has been known to help stimulate arousal in patients who suffer side effects from antidepressants and help fight impotence, yohimbe can be harmful. The FDA has reported serious side effects from products that contain this extract like prostate enlargement, renal failure, painful prolonged erection, muscle paralysis, seizures, and even death.

There is a good chance that this product really does work for it stimulates blood pressure, especially in the genital area. But the manufacturers are under no FDA regulations to tell you the harmful effects, nor are they under restraints to how much yohimbe is in their pills.

Another issue is that while they offer a 120 day money back guarantee, they also state that it can take up to six months for these pills to work properly, By then, you would have spent close to three hundred dollars and no longer have any way of getting your money back.

Enzyte

So you have seen the commercials with Smiling Bob happy as heck that everyone loves the new size of his penis. His smiling face has become a popular trademark for Enzyte, the natural male enhancer and has led sales in the billion dollar industry of penis enlargement pills.

Before you rush off and get your free sample, you probably want to know if these pills work.

Well, first you should know that the chief manufacturer of Enzyte has been indicted by the Federal Courts over the last few years on over a hundred counts ranging from conspiracy, mail fraud, and money laundering.

And these charges have nothing to do with the lawsuits that have been filed against the makers of Enzyte for allegedly defrauding customers.  After the convictions and fines, the Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals company went bankrupt and then was bought by Pristine Bay and Smiling Bob has returned to the late night airwaves promising euphoric style male enhancement.

Well, you might feel some euphoria taking these penis enlargement pills, but not much else.  One of the ingredients in Enzyte is Niacin. This supplement is popular in the underground industry where people try to make fake Ecstasy and pass it off as the real thing. Niacin will give you hot flashes and that sudden feeling of euphoria.

All of the other ingredients in this male enhancement pill are common supplements found at any health store and have no proven effectiveness in penis enlargement. There are sites with “experts” who claim that Enzyte does what it advertised. But the only experts are those approved by the FDA, and so far, the FDA has not determined that these types of male enhancement supplements have any real effect.

To some people, Enzyte works, but that just might be from placebo effects. They promise to send you a free sample but underneath that claim you end up enrolling in a monthly plan that costs substantial more.

Also, the FDA has not evaluated the long term effects of taking these pills. Too many people confuse erectile dysfunction with male enhancement. You don’t have to suffer problems with an erection to benefit from pills like Viagra or Cialis. They help sustain a hard penis for a lengthy time and are approved by the FDA.

Remember, there is no proven way to increase the size of your penis. Be careful using any penis enlargement pills and understand the risks you take.
