Myths about Penis Enlargement Products
To state the obvious, the penis is a body part that every man is born with, and a lot has been said about the importance of size in relation to giving pleasure. All of this makes it easy to understand why a number of men take interest in penis enlargement.(1) Naturally, the thought of a larger penis bringing larger amounts of pleasure seems to make perfect sense. But does it really? The truth of the matter is that whether or not the size of the penis affects the amount of pleasure given to another is relative. This means that while some believe that intimacy (combined with all the right moves) can make the smallest penis the greatest, others still insist on believing that size does matter.
So in case you’re one of the people who believe that penis enlargement is the way to maximize sexual pleasure, it’s best to first consider the myths about the many different products and procedures available for you. Take caution in this matter because, after all, the last thing you want is to work hard, spend a lot, and fuss over your enlarged penis when it really hasn’t been enlarged at all!(2)
So let’s get the facts straight. Here are the top five myths about penis enlargement products, methods, and procedures you might want to avoid as they may lead to nothing but disappointment:
1. Penis enlargement creams
Of all the methods of penis enlargement, the easiest, most painless, and most convenient method seems to be applying creams. These creams are made by many different brands, each one claiming to deliver results “in time.” How do they work? Well, these creams are act on the cells of the genitals by encouraging blood flow in the penis, which, as a result, dilates the veins and eventually makes the penis appear larger. To be more specific, these creams are supposed to increase the girth and thickness of the penis due to the swelling of the veins caused by the cream. But what’s the truth? Even if, let’s say, the creams do cause the veins in your genitals to swell, it does not happen overnight. In fact, it takes several applications of the cream to yield any kind of result, if any. Furthermore, the fact that the cream causes the veins to dilate and swell is an obvious fact that the product is affecting your penis negatively.
Swelling in the different parts of the human body almost always occurs only when the body is experiencing an adverse reaction to the product applied. If these creams really did enlarge your penis permanently, they would not be on the market anymore because every customer who applied them would now be satisfied and would no longer need to keep purchasing the product. The fact that these creams are still on the market, however, is proof that: first, even if they did show results, they would only be temporary, and second, the fact that there is swelling in your penis means that there is some sort of allergic reaction due to the unknown chemicals absorbed not only by your skin, but by your penis.(3, 6)
2. Penis enlargement pills
Based on human anatomy studies, penis enlargement pills cannot possibly work. This is because no amount of herbs or chemicals can cause your penis to grow—at least not permanently. What this means is that although there have been no medically approved claims of permanent penis enlargement through the intake of pills, certain chemicals and herbs can cause temporary swelling of the penis. Similarly to how Viagra increases male sex drive by causing erections, enlargement creams are capable of causing an increase in the blood flow, and therefore a temporary swelling of the penis. Unfortunately, this is not a permanent enlargement and will only last temporarily, leaving your penis back to its original size. Also, you must take caution when swallowing these pills. Since most of them are available almost anywhere and everywhere, there’s no way of telling what chemicals are in them. Some might even be severely dangerous to your health.(4, 6)
3. Penis enlargement oils
The application of oils on the penis can really make the penis appear larger. But this is certainly not permanent. The only reason certain oils can make the penis bigger is because the oil substance heats up the penis area, causing increased blood flow in the genital, and thus making it appear more engorged. On the up side, the heated effect of the oil may “up” your libido and put you more in the sexual “mood.” But on the down side, this is only temporary. It will not, and cannot, lead to the permanent enlargement and alteration of the penis size. When applying oils to the penis, it is important that you do so with caution. There is really no telling what chemicals are put in these oils, and you certainly wouldn’t want your penis to show any allergic reactions. Some allergic outbursts include itchiness, rashes, discoloration, bumps, and lumps.(5, 6)
4. Penis enlargement weights
Yes, I’m sure you’ve heard this mythical penis enlargement method many times before, and you’ve probably fallen prey to its great big claims. After all, since weightlifting and gym exercises can make your muscles bigger, why shouldn’t penis weights work the same way, right? Newsflash: the penis is not the same body part as your arms. Neither does it function in the same way that your chest and abdomen do. The truth of the matter is simple: penis weights are not only uncomfortable, but they can be incredibly painful as well. Even worse, they can cause stretch marks on your penis, leaving it not only the same size as when you started, but wrinkly as well. The only visible effects that penis weights give, therefore, are swelling and redness. It is scientifically impossible for this method to cause your penis to be enlarged—and certainly not permanently.(6)
5. Penis enlargement surgery
Okay, this isn’t a myth: penis enlargement surgery really does make your penis larger. This is because the surgical procedure involves the addition of fat to the penis, making it thicker and bigger in girth. However, as the penis is used during intercourse, there is a great possibility that the inserted fat will soon move around, thereby leaving your penis lumpy and clumpy. This deformity is certainly not attractive, and can in fact have many lovers running away from you (and your clumpy penis) as quickly as possible. Therefore, the myth about penis enlargement surgery is not that it doesn’t work, but instead, that it doesn’t always stay in that perfect shape forever. In a nutshell, penis enlargement surgery is not only expensive, it’s incredibly risky.(7) (8)
All about penis enlargement exercises
Because using such products are risky, a more natural and safer way to improve your stamina and penis size is through the right exercises.(9) Milking exercises, or Jelqs and Kegel exercises are just two techniques that can help you increase blood flow into your penis and increase its stamina. Milking exercises aim to direct blood into the areas of your penis where erectile tissues are found.(10) The movements that these exercises require is somewhat similar to the milking motion, thus the name. To do these exercises, encircle your penis with your forefinger and thumb. While maintaining a moderate pressure, slide the gripping hand along the length of the shaft. By doing this, you are increasing the blood flow into the erectile tissue.(11)
Kegel exercises can help you increase your stamina and control erection. To do these exercises, you first have to identify your PC muscle, which is the muscle you use to stop the flow of urine. This is located between the anus and the scrotum. Simply contract the PC muscle and once the muscle is tensed, hold the contraction for a few seconds. Then relax and repeat the exercise to make your PC muscle stronger.(12)
In the end, size isn’t the only thing that matters. Yes, some women may prefer guys with bigger equipment but the size shouldn’t be the only factor to be considered. Stamina, performance in bed, and intimacy can also sizzle up your love life. Instead of trying out several products that may only temporarily make your penis bigger, opt for more natural methods such as exercises that can increase your stamina and make you sustain longer erections. After all, a big penis that can’t perform well is nothing compared to a medium-sized one that can make your girl ask for more.
