Penis Enlargement: Myths and Facts

Results in seconds. Wow.

I don’t know about you but I am fast growing tired of the dozens of spam e-mails I get every day about the magic new penis enlargement pill, cream or device. But it is not limited to these anonymous e-mails. Now I have to watch or listen to these same scams on major prime time TV shows and radio. What amazes me most is that these advertisements must be making money, or they wouldn’t still be on the air week after week, month after month.

Here’s the kicker – there is no truth or science behind any one of them. They are all pure and simple scams, designed to separate out the foolish from their money. Nothing more than snake oil salesmen, and sadly as educated as we are, we still remain gullible. Hey, if I could find a way to feel comfortable stealing money from people I might too jump in and offer “Sheldon’s secret penile enlargement formula- but don’t’ wait, because organized medicine wants to shut me down, so order before midnight tonight and we’ll throw in a free spray-on window tinter”. And here is how they promote an age-old gimmick – now they call it male enhancement – kind of like a used car is now called pre-owned so they can charge more. If I sell my own secret formula, then I can lie but it is a new lie so it will take a few years for it to catch up to me and maybe by then I will have my millions hidden away in an off-shore Caribbean island. But my ethics gets in the way.

So many times people ask “why doesn’t the government step in an stop these quacks from making outright lies and false claims?” The reason is simple – the supplement industry has worked very hard to keep the FDA out of the supplement market. This way, they can sell anything to anyone and they don’t have to prove that it is effective, that it is even helpful or that it is even safe. So anyone with some money can create a fake treatment and sell it, making wild and extreme claims.

And what better way to trick people than playing to the secret wish of many men – to have a bigger penis? Because, after all, we know that men with bigger penises must be happier, more successful and have happier wives. And who will complain that his penis enlargement pill didn’t work? I would guess very few men.

But what is a normal sized penis? This is a subject that guys never seem to understand. First of all, the size of a non-erect penis has no relevance to an erect penis. Some guys who have small penises can get quite large and other guys who are large don’t change much, and everything in between. Somewhere about 4 to 6 inches erect is what a normal penis is supposed to be.

Let me explain this as simply as I can. The penis you have is the one you are genetically designed to have. It is because of the DNA you inherited from your mother and father. It is also the reason you are as tall or short as you are as well as the color of your eyes.

After spending more than 20 plus years in urology, it is clear that no pill or cream or vacuum contraption will change your penis size. It is not like the penis is elastic and can be enlarged. It is what it is. If you have extra weight, then you can lose a few pounds and your penis will seem bigger. You could opt for disfiguring surgery to cut the ligament that will let your penis fall down, and give you the appearance of maybe 1/2 inch more for a lucky few, but that is about it. And so you know, most men who have penile enlargement surgery regret doing so. It must be something about all the scarring and pain.

So here is what it comes down to. You can spend lots of money trying to change something that can’t be changed, or you can learn what is really important, be satisfied and save a few bucks.

Well I agree with him that no pill or cream is going to do anything, and that spending lots of money on trying to enlarge your penis is a waste of time.

But if he actually tried PE instead of hypothesizing about it, he might learn something about PE.

only 6.5,

You need to post a link to the place you got that article.

I am at a point now that any guy that wants to believe it doesn’t work can keep believing it doesn’t work.

I will keep wasting my time exceeding my genetic potential.

You know I never understood how no doctor has ever stumbled across thunders or pegym where plenty of guys have picture evidence posted that their routine has worked in enlarging their penis. How is it that every doctor simply writes off all claims of real PE? Surely some doctor by now would have found a real PE site by now and begun to try it, or at least seen that places like thunders don’t have any hallmarks of a scam website.

But like fireboat said, it is true that there’s no miracle cream or pill, but there are techniques that work. And I really enjoy the line “it is not like the penis is elastic and can be enlarged.” Is this guy actually a urologist and did he actually go to med school? Because he would know that the penis is definitely elastic..

Well, that’s no true. We have a few Doctors here.

Doctors and medical officials tend to base their own idea and opinions based on peer reviewed studies and experiments. Anecdotal evidence in the science world is very low on the accreditation spectrum.

There is a lot of evidence on this site that, to me at least, is very concrete proof that PE is effective. It also helps that I’ve seen the proof in the pudding myself.

However, in a literary standpoint, the evidence here hasn’t been standardized and tested based on a “laboratory” basis, in that, there hasn’t been a group study where scientists have checked in with PE enthusiasts and checked themselves the rate of growth, and used a standard routine for all involved that would prove the statistical significance of PE methods.

Would be interesting if someone did though, I might put forward a thesis to my old university :P

Here’s the earliest link I found to the article. It seems to have been regurgitated a few times on different blogs, but I think this is the source article.
Penis Enlargement: Myths and Facts

Thanks fg. :)

I hope I didn’t rub anyone the wrong way with article. Just wanted see what the view was about it. is it just that he don’t believe in it or does he make a smart and insightful argument.

No, you posted something we’ve seen here in one for or another many times. He’s mistaking penis enlargement for spam and the industry designed to fleece insecure men. It’s fairly standard stuff and most of what he says is valid but, as firegoat said, he didn’t go the extra mile and actually try spending time enlarging his penis. Fair enough, I guess he’s got better things to do.

I do wish people would worry less about spending their money on whatever miracle pump, pill or gadget out there. The majority of people gain through manual exercise at little or no monetary cost (other than some lube) but it does cost time and people do love to try things they think might be shortcuts.
