Penile enlargement is big business – but it’s nothing new. The truth is that the practice has been around since the dawn of recorded history with some methods dating
back to ancient Asia and the Middle East – geographical homes of the most ancient civilisations on Earth.
Still, all this time later, people continue to look for ways to improve their penis length. Today there are a lot of different methods to choose from, but three remain the most popular – one of which is also the oldest.
Here we will take a look at these top three methods. This way, men can learn more about them and determine which is most likely to be a good fit for their lifestyle and deliver the results they want.
Jelqing / Controlled Stretching as Body Modification
People have been using specific forms of stretching to change their appearance forever. Today tribes in many parts of the world stretch their earlobes or even elongate their necks by using various stretches and primitive traction devices.
In the world of penile enlargement this practice is referred to as Jelqing and it dates back to the ancient Middle East. To be perfectly honest, the practice itself can be somewhat dangerous and it is common for newcomers to injure themselves. The stretches must be done in a specific order and with low intensity to begin with otherwise serious injury – including torn ligaments – can occur.
Still, this method has proven successful which is why it has carried on through the generations. It is not usually recommended though, primarily because of the risk of injury.
Surgery
Penile enlargement surgery, called phalloplasty, has recently undergone some pretty impressive advancements. Today there are options for men to increase both length and girth if they are willing to go under the knife. The surgery is difficult and is currently offered by a single doctor in California. Other clinics offer similar forms of phalloplasty, but they do not deliver the same results as the ones offered though the clinic of Dr. Elist which has been the focus on many articles and news items.
The catch with any kind of surgery is that each procedure comes with a number of risks – including blood clots and even death. There is also the issue of recovery time. For a penis enlargement, that means spending around 2 to 3 months wearing a traction device and nursing a rather sensitive penis and groin area. Add to that the cost of the surgery, which usually begins around $5,000 or so, and the associated expense of travelling to a clinic and staying in a hotel nearby for the first few weeks of recovery in order to have the necessary follow up visits. All in all, the surgical option for penile enlargement can easily run north of $10,000 for a standard procedure with no complications.
At Home Penile Enlargement Traction Devices
Penis enlargement devices today have come a long way as well. They are used during the recovery phase of phalloplasty procedures in order to help the penis grow even as it heals and, of course, to prevent damage to the tissues of the penis.
The devices can also be used without surgery in order to increase length, though they cannot do anything for girth. Men need to wear the devices for several hours a day, every day, for a few weeks before they see results. Usually men wear the device for several months in order to achieve their goals. In order to make this process easier, many companies now offer models built for either wearing under your clothes or which can be worn overnight as you sleep. This remains the most popular option since it is convenient for men and high quality devices can be purchased for a reasonable amount of money.
