We supposedly live in an age of sexual enlightenment. Yet owning a large penis is de riguer. There’s no bigger fallacy than the one that insists that having a large tool and being willing to discuss it a means of modern thinking. This is not at all true, as the practice of increasing penis size dates back to ancient Egypt and the pharaohs.

Indeed, in ancient Egypt, the pharaohs would attach weights to their penises in order to stretch the muscles. This would work as far as lengthening the penis goes, but it would very often decrease the aforesaid organ’s girth. It also would damage nerve endings and kill off cells within the penis, which would, in turn, cause a traumatizing loss of feeling and hinder the capability of blood filling the chambers of the penis, which often made for a shriveled or poor erection.

Indeed, though the method has its difficulties, many African tribes took up and have kept up the use of clay weights. After having varied results, African tribes started experimenting with herbs. This was also true in China. It was still found that herbs like horny goat weed, yohimbe bark and ginseng are beneficial to any male who wishes to achieve and keep a hard tumescent erection. As these are natural herbs, completely safe and have greatly benefited healthy penises.

Obviously, the Chinese and Africans hit upon something, as today these same herbs are used in a variety of sexual enhancing supplements. They are used not only to strengthen erections, but also to enlarge the penis.

Also used in ancient times by Arabian males was the practice of Jelqing the semi erect penis in a methodical method. It is a coming of age practice used to make the penis larger. This led to more exercises to induce penis growth, many of which are still in use today. There are many penis exercises that if done correctly and regularly will produce good results.

The next step took place around the early 1900s with the invention of the penis pump. It really came into widespread use in the 1970s. This device calls for placing a tube over the penis and pumping the air out of the tube using a hand pump. The vacuum created draws blood into the chambers of the penis causing an erection. This would be a bigger and stronger erection than normal, but would only be a temporary enlargement. A problem with this device was that overuse and over-pumping might cause painful damage to the cells of the penis.

Pills to increase penis size also came into use in the 1980s. There are a number of these pills on the market now and only mixed results can be reported.

The latest and most effective product for increasing penis size is the penis extender. This device gives lasting results of one to three inches increase in length, with increases in girth as well. It works by slipping a rubber ring around the base of the penis, with another rubber ring near the top of the penis. These are attached to metal rods that can be adjusted to create tension in the penis. The penis extender should be worn from two to six hours a day and the level of tension should be adjusted daily. Results vary with these devices depending on the length of time they are worn and the amount of tension put on the penis by the wearer. Many men have reported a growth in only week, with most men reporting results within the first month. The good thing is not only are the results permanent but use of this device is also completely safe.

As you can see, increasing the size of the penis has been a long sought after goal. From weights attached to the penis to modern devices men have always wanted a bigger and stronger penis. With modern medical science, this dream can come true for you.
