Male sexuality is officially coming out of the shadows. For generations, men acted as though they never had sexual performance problems as far as mainstream pop culture was concerned. Men simply didn’t want to appear to be anything less than perfectly virile and this made talking about things such as premature ejaculation and erectile health extremely taboo.
But new generations of men knew that was crazy and they’ve begun talking openly about their experiences, their challenges and their methods for improving every aspect of their sex life. That includes tackling issues of size and, as a result, penis enlargement devices have become a hot topic.
As more people talk about penis size, the language they use can be confusing at times. Take, for example, men who talk about enlargement devices as ‘penis extenders’. While this may make sense at first since the devices literally do extend the penis, they can also be misleading because if you look for penis extenders, you’re more likely to find things that resemble sex toys.
What’s a Penis Extender?
Penis extenders have existed for many years as a way for men – and their partners – to experience a totally different penis just for fun. Extenders are sheaths that fit over a man’s penis in order to make him bigger all around – both in terms of length and girth. The sheaths are also sometimes used over vibrators and plain dildos in order to spice up someone’s sex toy collection.
Extenders are usually used for a bit of fun as they offer an immediate change without long-term commitment. At the same time, men often complain they dampen sensation so completely that it’s hard for them to get off while wearing the extenders. Still, they can be a fun element to add to your sex play and they’ve become increasingly popular as people are more likely to experiment with different toys.
Are Enlargers Also Extenders?
Penis enlargement devices which have been tested in clinical settings are the type which use traction in order to elongate – or extend – the penis. As a result, these devices are sometimes simply referred to as penis extenders by the companies that sell them and the men who buy them.
Needless to say, this can cause some confusion in the world of male enhancement. More often than not, though, people figure out the issue quickly and are able to find what they want by tweaking their search. But the overlap presents an interesting option for men who aren’t sure if size is really an issue.
Traditional penis extending sheaths can give men the chance to try on a larger penis before they commit to spending money on a high end traction penis extender device. It also helps them decide whether or not the investment of time and energy will be worthwhile. It usually takes a few months for men to see improvement in size when using an enlargement device. Being able to get a feel for what sex is like with a larger penis gives them the chance to determine if it’s a worthwhile use of their time, energy and money.
For some men, stumbling into the world of penis extenders can be a bit weird at first. But once you get over the idea of boosting your size through the use of a silicone sheath, you can see how it can be a fun way to spice up your sex life as well as a way to see what life is like when you’re packing more down below. At the end of the day, extenders and enlargers do go together – just not in the way most people think.
