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.

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.
