Some men might have a crazy thought: why not enlarge your penis? Is it possible to make it longer and thicker? At this point, you can open our material and find this educational article helpful. We inform you: yes, it is possible. But there are nuances.
Now for some sudden scientific findings: Studies regularly show that many guys who worry too much about the size of their devices are actually a completely normal size. Unfortunately - given the current availability of porn material - a common misconception is that a very large dick will bring more pleasure to a girlfriend. Big mistake. A 2017 study found that a combination of deep kissing, genital stimulation and oral sex was more likely to bring a woman to orgasm.
What follows from that? Chances are your penis is fine. However, if you want to increase it, there are several options. Some are extremely expensive and/or painful, while others don't even guarantee sustainable results. We've rounded up a dozen penis enlargement methods available today and ranked them from darkest to most helpful.
10. Insert the implant
Los Angeles surgeon James Elist Godot claims to be the only one in the world who performs a special length and thickness augmentation surgery using a silicone implant known as a "Penuma". Elist claims that, on average, the length increases by 3. 8 centimeters, and the circumference - by up to 6 centimeters; and he has already installed 1. 3 thousand of these implants. Cons: The operation costs $13, 000 and patients are at risk of infection or damage to the implant.
Dermatologist Jesse Chen adds: "An implant is like a permanent erection that can keep you from moving. "Imagine going for a run with an erect cock at the ready. . .
9. Cut the ligaments
Some surgeons can perform the lengthening surgery by cutting the ligaments in the penis, which allows it to protrude a little further from the body. Of course, this is associated with serious risks: the formation of scar tissue, pain during erection, the same infections or, for example, loss of sensation (or even all function, so to speak). Plus, it's expensive, and studies have found that the procedure adds about 1. 2 centimeters. I agree, this is not what patients expect.
Chen notes that after such plastic surgery, it can be difficult to maintain an erection and generally penetrate where needed in certain positions.
8. Inject fat
In this procedure, surgeons first perform liposuction by pumping some of the patient's fat from another location and then injecting it with a syringe into the causer. As a result, as restless researchers have noted, a slight increase in the length (less than 2. 5 centimeters), in the circumference (a little more than 2. 5 centimeters) and, so to speak, in the weight of the organ is possible. The main ambush isn't forever; over time, your fat friend may shrink to its original size. Also, as with any surgical intervention, there are certain risks. Here's an example: A 30-year-old patient died after penis enlargement surgery because fat somehow got into his lungs and made him stop breathing.
7. Inject platelet-rich plasma (blood)
A relatively new method: The procedure involves extracting platelet-rich plasma and injecting it into the penis, which should stimulate blood flow and eventually enlarge the organ.
"The classic protocol involves injections to mechanically pump blood over several weeks, which stretches the suspensory ligaments to increase length and improve circulation, " explains Chen. "Improved programs that add stem cells and exosomes are also very popular in my practice as they provide faster and more consistent improvements in function and size. "
But right now, there just isn't enough research to consider it a good long-term option.
6. Try jelq (jelqing)
It is not known when jelqing first appeared, it seems that they started to be used in ancient Arab civilization. What we do know is a certain manual stretching technique that many try to increase the length and thickness of the penis.
"Most guides advise waiting for an almost complete erection. After that, you need to apply lubricant and firmly hold the base of the penis in a thumb and forefinger ring. Squeeze the ring and run your hand along the entire length, as if you were "milking". Immediately take the base with the other hand and repeat. "
Can Jelq Really Enlarge Penis? Most medical experts say no, and add that it can even be harmful, such as causing the penis to bend. Grant Stoddard selflessly tried jelqing for two weeks and found no change in size.
"It's easier to use a penis pump that really helps with circulation, " says Chen.
5. Walk with an extender
A number of devices have already been developed that men can wear daily under clothing to progressively lengthen the penis and increase its length and/or girth.
Some experts believe these devices might work, and a very small 2015 study found that an extender added nearly an inch and a half to the length of the penis. The same hero Stoddard tried out an extender designed for men with Peyronie's disease (which he didn't have). After using this device for almost a month, he found an increase in length of about 1. 2 centimeters.
However, Jamin Brambhatt, a Florida urologist, says the discomfort and healing potential isn't worth it: "There's not a lot of research on the benefits of extenders, and you'll have to wear them for several hours a day in the areas most sensitive part of your body. "
4. Inject dermal fillers
Dermal filler injections are another method that can increase the circumference by up to 2. 5 centimeters (if injected for a long time). This procedure is popular with Chen's patients as they "receive an instant increase in length and thickness".
But the effect is only temporary. "The longevity of fillers depends on how sexually active you are, as more mobility increases the metabolism of fillers, " Chung says. There are also potential side effects, including swelling and bruising under the skin.
A guy who had this procedure gave an interview where he talked about another side effect - a change in shape (curvature):
"Despite Dr. Schafer's advice to wait with sex, I probably started too soon, too long and too enthusiastically after the first injection. This was before the filler was fully connected to the tissues of my penis. If I had a penis before very even and beautiful, now it got a little swollen in the middle. Maybe the bulge wasn't that big, but I noticed something, because I carefully examined my penis, about 42-43 years old.
Fortunately, the doctor was able to correct the form with additional injections at the follow-up visit.
3. Place the nipple (for sex)
They are sold in adult supply stores and simply placed on the penis, like a condom - only bulkier and usually made of silicone. Accessories were originally developed for medical purposes, but today many people also use them as sex toys. "They increase in thickness and length and may have ribs or other bumps on the outer or inner wall to provide stimulation for either partner, " Chen said in an interview.
2. Shave your pubis
If you don't want to stretch or work out anything, there's one simple thing you can do to make your penis look bigger: shave your pubic hair. Think about it. When hidden by a bush of pubic hair, it looks smaller than if it were visible in all its glory.
1. Lose weight
On the one hand, this is an optical illusion: the penis will appear larger when it is not hidden under a bulging belly or thighs. On the other hand, by getting rid of excess fat, you'll have higher testosterone levels and improved blood flow, which can increase libido and help the penis fill up more during an erection.
