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 2nd and 3rd 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.

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.
