We've collected the most common methods that promise to increase male dignity and found out if they actually work. Our experts helped us with this: from psychologists to the Association of Urologists.
ways that work
Rub in red
Among the most popular ways to increase masculinity are massage techniques: acupressure and exercises called jelqing. The popularizers of these techniques claim that several months of daily training will help increase male dignity.
"There is not a single scientific study confirming the healing effects of massage techniques, " says the specialist. "They only improve the blood supply to the penis, which allows it to grow a little larger. However, this is a very temporary phenomenon - a couple of hours, andthe effect disappears.
Experts do not recommend using such techniques, especially if there is diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, congenital anomalies of blood vessels. Various complications can arise, including the disease priapism, when an erection does not go away even after ejaculation. This is an acute surgical pathology fraught with a complete loss of organ function in the future.
Attention weightlifters!
Stretching promises to quickly increase a man's dignity by up to 3 cm. There are various weights that are attached directly to the penis and special stretching devices.
"They really give a boost. But they can seriously injure, namely damage the tunica albuginea of the cavernous bodies, the specialist warns. - As a result, Peyronie's disease can develop - cicatricial plaques form on the penis, causing curvature during erection and pain during intercourse. And these consequences are irreversible.
Harmony hormones
There is an opinion that the introduction of testosterone and drugs that stimulate its production will give extra centimeters.
"It's a myth! The male hormone affects sexual function, not size, the specialist explains. - In addition, taking such drugs without consulting a doctor is fraught with a violation of the hormonal chain: there may be a so-called testosterone pit (often seen in bodybuilders who take unreasonably large doses of hormones). This is fraught with loss of sexual function, male infertility, and problems with many body systems. "
Creams - for a couple of hours
Advertisements for penis enlargement creams are rife all over the internet. They are easy to use and promise fantastic results. This is what entices men who want to top up the unit to buy.
"These funds are absolutely ineffective: it's the same as buying a cream to enlarge an arm or a nose, " assures the specialist. - The only thing that such a drug can give is a slightly noticeable (up to 1, 5 cm) increase for 5-6 hours This is due to the fact that it has a warming and vasodilating effect.
In addition, some creams can be "chemically contaminated": contain hormonal additives and dangerous allergenic components. They can cause both normal irritation and damage to the mucous membrane, up to and including chemical burns.
The vacuum pump has been tested!
It is a low-pressure therapy. And this is the only safe remedy that can be used at home!
"In combination with warming ointments, the vacuum pump provides real enlargement (1-3 cm) and thickening (up to 5 mm) of the penis, and also improves erection. - But it is important to understand: the effect will be achieved if the patient exercises regularly and has a full sex life. It is impossible to propagate once and for all with the help of a vacuum pump!
And one more important note: you need to use it carefully and correctly so as not to damage the vessels and mucous membrane of the penis. It can be used independently only after consulting an andrologist.
Knife for help or surgery
It is guaranteed to increase manhood with the help of surgical methods. The most harmless is frenuloplasty, during which the penis is lengthened by 1. 5-2 cm. A more aggressive method is a dissection in the suprapubic area of the ligaments holding the penis. For thickening (5-10 mm), the insertion of special implants is often used, and prostheses can be made for lengthening and thickening.
"But you have to understand that this is forever - it's impossible to return your greatness. - Each method has disadvantages, so you need to weigh all the pros and cons. And surgical manipulations should be performed only by a qualified doctor.
Contraindications for surgical penis enlargement include general diseases, hormonal disorders, vascular diseases, diabetes mellitus and old age. However, before resorting to surgery, you should consult a psychologist. Because a man can be okay with sizes, but because of the circumstances (for example, he did not please his partner), suddenly there is a desire to change something. But size doesn't matter! The most important thing for a man is to study his partner.
The whole problem is in society and in nature
The cliché "the more, the merrier" comes from ancient times: in most peoples and cultures, the phallus was considered a symbol of strength and fertility, and the larger it is, the more wonderful. So the problem of dissatisfaction with size has a social oneCharacter.
"Little boys don't care about size. Then comes the first acquaintance with the subject of sex - mostly through watching porn. The young man correlates his size with what he sees - and the first self-doubts are gone! Then there are anecdotes and clichés, and the man begins to be too complex, " explains the specialist psychologist. And yet: Which penis is considered small and which is considered large? "In an erect adult, less than 12 cm is a small penis. The average size isat 12-17 cm, and a penis from 18 cm is already considered very large", says the specialist and reminds: In psychiatry there is even a diagnosis for those who are not satisfied with their own size - "dysmorphic disorder". (it's similar to anorexia).
In general, experiment with sexual techniques before increasing manhood. But most importantly, love sincerely and truly. Then enjoyment is guaranteed!
