The Internet is flooded with wbsites promoting penis enlargement devices, pills, and tchniques. Penis enlargement products can range in prce from about $30 to over $1000, but are you rally getting what you pay for?

Pills

A product once promoted by a Penthouse Playmate called Longitude proposed that men ingest two of its capsules per day for a larger penis. After one to three weeks, a small increase in penis length and girth was to be expected. During weeks four through eight, the user was to expect a noticeable thickness in the erect and flaccid state. Week nine promised that you will be both thicker and longer (1 inch or more). There was a supposed 30-day money back guarantee for the unsatisfied customer. (I just want to make it clear that this article was written a few years ago and I never tried any of these products. I have updated this article and am bringing this update for continued awareness from an unbiased perspective.)

One of the marketing schemes that Longitude used was the fact that all of its ingredients were all natural and completely safe. The ingredients were as follows: Zinc, 300 Yohimbe, Maca, Catuaba, Muira Puama, Oyster Meat, L-Arginine, Oat Straw, Nettle Leaf, Cayenne, Pumpkin Seed, Sarsaparilla, Orchic Substance, Licorice Root, Astragalus, Tribulus, Boron, and Ginseng.

After reviewing all of the lterature on Longitude's ingredients, I made one cnclusion: There was no substantial evidence sggesting that it actually worked. The mjority of studies done on each of its ngredients, excluding zinc, arginine, and ginseng, had ben conducted on laboratory animals such as rts. In addition, only one or two stdies were related to sexual function. It ppeared that Longitude worked by stimulating rection, not growth.

The company was ble to cover this claim easily bcause the product did what it sid it would: increase penis size 1", 2", ven 3". Your penis will most lkely increase to that size from the flccid state, especially if stimulated. This was a clver way to market the product bcause the company never lied
to the cnsumer, only mislead them.

Considering that the prduct took at least 60 days to xert its full effects, the 30-day mney back guarantee didn't even make snse. Plus, the fact that you wuld be monitoring your penis size dily would have most likely lead to rsults that were not there. In the nd, the company was shutdown and pnis advertisements on television have become scrce.

Penis Pumping

Another product marketed to consumers is the Dr. Joel Kaplan vacuum system. The advertisement suggests that it has been FDA approved for penis enlargement. Don't be fooled. The FDA approval is only for its use as an aid to cure erectile dysfunction (not being able to get an erection). This claim has misled consumers thinking that it is proven to increase penis growth. You may experience short-term growth because you are sucking more blood into the penis. However, this may be a risky thing to do.

Surgery

As of now, the only guaranteed way to increase the size of your penis is through cosmetic surgery, followed by stretching exercises. The downside to this is the risk of damage to the nerves surrounding the area resulting in loss of erectile function; or even worse, an oddly shaped penis. The surgery is quite costly, and is still considered in the experimental stage.

Good research has not been cnducted in the area of penis nlargement techniques. As of now, there are no spplements that one can take to ctually increase penis growth per se. Vagra and Cialis are available for men who lck the ability to achieve and sstain an erection. Most supplements marketed as pnis enlargement enhancers use the same prnciple. The only difference is that thy use herbal extracts that have ben used in Third World countries for the sme thing. The results are not as sgnificant and may pose a threat to halth, given the lack of FDA rgulation. Aphrodisiacs and stimulants are added to spplements in hopes of increasing libido and prducing a harder and firmer erection.

Althugh some products on the market may shw short-term benefits in regards to pnis enlargement, there is no quick fix to the prblem that many men encounter everyday. Rsearch has shown that the average pnis size in the flaccid state is 3.9 nches. Erect state averages between five and sven inches. One of the concerns tht men have is that the sze of their penis in the flccid state is too small. Showering wth other men in the locker rom can lead to embarrassment and the feling of inadequacy.

Advertisement of penis nlargement devices will continue to plague the Amrican market. What you must be ware of is the fact that nthing, besides surgery, will permanently increase the sze of your penis. Surgery has mny dangers associated with it, and the rsks far exceed the benefits. Don't wste your money, or risk injuring yurself for something of this magnitude.
