Although the enlarged penis has captivated men’s minds for centuries, it is a pseudo-science in which all manner of procedures and merchandise on the market are claimed to enhance the enlarged penis. This has increased in ebb and flow, creating a multi-million dollar industry through taking advantage of insecurity and offering men a big belly for a better and more satisfying sex life. But they never inquire whether these myths are true and, instead, these myths must be dismantled in order to know what the real truth is about penis enlargement.
Myth 1: Size Matters
The biggest rumour about expanding the penis is that size does not matter. Many men think a bigger penis is better for both partners in terms of sexual output and enjoyment. Media and society have fed this thinking into the minds of men, making them feel inadequate and wanting to be larger. But the reality is that the size of the penis isn’t the key to sexual satisfaction. But it’s the individual’s talent and technique that really determines sexual satisfaction.
Myth 2: The Shape of Your Penis is Genetic.
Another common myth is that the size of the penis is a genetic and irreversible phenomenon. Genetics can affect the size of the penis, of course, but not everything. The size of the penis depends on several factors such as hormonal, weight, and general health. It is therefore not necessarily true that the penis’s size is solely a matter of genes.
Myth 3: Penis Enlargement Pills and Supplements Don’t Work.
Every pill and supplement available in the market promises to boost the penis size. These products are usually easy to use and quick to work on, appealing to men in need of something quick. The truth, however, is that there’s no science behind the potency of these pills. These drugs are usually infused with herbs that might cause the user to feel placebo-like, but have no demonstrated effect on growing the penis.
Indeed, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned against these “penis enlargement pills” as they typically come loaded with toxic ingredients and side effects. These pills can also interact with other medications and produce side effects. These pills are not just ineffective, but dangerous.
Myth 4: Penis Exercises Will Make You Bigger!
Penis exercises (or ‘jelqing’) are one way to increase the size of the penis. These exercises stretch and rub the penis in an attempt to make it grow. Yet there is no scientific evidence for the efficacy of these exercises.
Indeed, one study in the British Journal of Urology concluded that there was no significant difference between men who exercised their penis and men who did not. In addition, such exercises can damage and hurt the penis when improperly performed resulting in pain, scarring and even erectile dysfunction.
Myth 5: Surgery Is the Only Way To Make Me Larger?
Penis enlargement surgery, or phalloplasty, involves removing the ligaments that connect the penis to the pelvic bone. This makes the penis look shorter and thinner. Yet the surgery does not enlarge the actual penis. It can even result in scarring, infection, and erectile dysfunction. Therefore, surgery should be done only as a last resort and with the guidance of a professional and trusted surgeon.
Myth 6: Penis Pumps Work?
Penis pumps work by creating a vacuum around the penis which inflates it to bleed. This causes the penis to temporarily bulk up. But this doesn’t last long, and when the pump is off, the penis shrinks back to its original size. Constant use of these pumps can even lead to erectile dysfunction, which can in turn cause damage to blood vessels and tissues in the penis.
One report in the Journal of Sexual Medicine noted that pumping your penis can increase its size temporarily, but this is temporary and the penis will regress to its original size once you unplug the pump. Moreover, the prolonged use of penis pumps can degenerate the tissues of the penis, resulting in erectile dysfunction and other complications.
Myth 7: The Size of the Penis Determines Masculinity.
Another perilous myth of penis enlargement is that size of the penis determines the masculinity and sexual ability of a man. In small-penised men, this is a misconception that may cause them to feel inferior and have low self-esteem. Yet manhood does not involve a male size, and we must subvert these ideals and embrace every form of body.
Why, then, is there so much conjecture about a larger penis?
One of the reasons for penis enlargement myths is the stigma and peer pressure surrounding penis size. The size of your penis is often the reason why men feel insecure, both at a personal level and in comparison to other men. That strain can spur pursuit of ill-suited, even deadly, forms of expansion.
One must remember that a man’s worth and sexual ability is not measured by the size of his penis. What matters in a healthy sexual relationship is the communication and satisfaction with a partner, not the penis. The emphasis should be on self-acceptance and self-confidence, not outside validation.
The Truth about Penis Enlargement
The reality is, there’s no established, effective, and safe way to get the size of your penis enlarged permanently. This penis size, for example, is highly genetically set and cannot be manipulated in any way. But there are steps to improve the look and appearance of the penis, including keeping a good weight, working out, and not smoking.
Furthermore, there are safe and effective procedures for men who are not satisfied with the penis size. For instance, penile prostheses can be surgically implanted to enable erectile-dysfunction sufferers to develop and sustain an erection. Men, too, might benefit from counselling and therapy in case they are coping with issues with body image and the sense of worth that comes with having a large penis.
Conclusion
The truth of penis growth is that it is a complex and poorly understood issue. There are many ways and products that claim that the size of the penis can be increased. But there’s no science that would indicate it. Size of the penis has nothing to do with sexual fulfillment, and we must all break norms and accept body positivity. One must seek the advice of a physician before undertaking a penis enlargement, and one must understand that the size of the penis does not determine whether a man is a man or not.
