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.

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.

There has been a lot of talk lately about whether or not using Human Growth Hormone (HGH) will increase the size of your penis. Lately, men have been seeking all sorts of methods for male enhancement as male inadequacy had become a billion dollar business.

Penis size is determined by genetics. The size of the penis changes during puberty. Penis growth starts between the ages of about 10 to 14 years of age, although some boys are younger, some older. The testicles begin to enlarge first and hair grows in the pubic region. The penis grows in length first and girth slightly later. Teenagers have to wait one or two years after they have stopped growing in height before they will be able to know their final penis size.

Penis growth and HGH Therapy has been debated by many in the medical community and those who are associated with body building and other health related fields. It is not proven that HGH will grow a man’s penis. Human Growth Hormone does help produce testosterone  and increase natural testosterone when a person has lost his natural testosterone. This increased amount of testosterone is said to help the flow of blood to the penis, thus engorging the blood channels in the penis, which could produce a harder and larger erection. Some studies have shown that HGH can help someone gain natural male enhancement as long as they are within puberty.

But there is still much debate on whether or not HGH can help a person who is past puberty in growing a larger penis. The medical community is currently debating on how HGH benefits anti-aging. Many doctors believe that Human Growth Hormone benefits adults and children who are suffering from certain diseases. And there are some doctors who believe HGH benefits the aging process by slowing down aging, increasing strength and virility, renewing energy and producing an all-around well being.

It’s important to remember, though, that these statements on the Human Growth Hormone benefits of anti-aging have not been proven to be true, and obtaining HGH online, without a doctor’s assistance, could be dangerous.

A recent study found that these side effects include a movement toward diabetes and pre-diabetic conditions. Other HGH side effects that have been discovered are swelling, carpal tunnel syndrome, and the formation of breasts in men — a condition known as gynecomastia.

You should never take HGH without a doctor’s approval. If you do suffer from issues of male inadequacy, consult a therapist or a physician before spending money on products and solutions that have no proven effects.
