Let’s face it – buying a penis extender isn’t something you casually discuss with friends and neighbors or with colleagues over the water cooler. Buying any sort of sexual enhancement product can be a bit taboo and, as a result, plenty of secrecy, myth and misinformation gets passed around. For a long time, it was hard to debunk these myths as male enhancement products 
remained a taboo topic and there was simply no way to reach the audience effectively. The internet has changed all that and has become an effective way for people to learn more about their own sexuality as well as ways to help them up their game and improve their sex life. Here we’ve rounded up five of the most prevalent myths surrounding enlargement devices to help you make the most informed decision possible.
Enlargement Devices Are a Passing Fad
Every generation thinks they’ve made the biggest advancements. This is true for everything from technology to personal care products. Many people think penis extenders and pumps are a new invention when, in fact, ways to change the shape of the penis have a long history. In ancient Egypt, men would tie strings with small rocks at the end to serve as a way to lengthen the penis. In the Middle East, men perfected a set of stretches and exercises to make the penis longer – a practice still in use today. Pumps and commercially sold devices have been around officially since the late 1800s and today’s models may have more bells and whistles, but the basic science behind the way they work remains essentially the same.
Extenders and Pumps Simply Don’t Work
Enlargement devices are typically viewed with a great amount of scepticism. Some people simply expect too much from the devices and this sets them up for disappointment. Other times, the devices are sold by less than scrupulous companies which promise amazing results that simply sound too good to be true but still get passed on as fact. As these products have become more popular, however, they have become the focus of professional and amateur studies. Many men now offer pictures and documentation of their own growth and a handful of clinical studies have been able to provide proof of growth over time. This renewed clinical interest in male enhancement is also helping to pave the way for a whole new generation of enhancement devices.
Enlargement Devices Are Painful to Use
Since penis extenders work by applying gentle but consistent pressure, they can be somewhat uncomfortable at first. Earlier versions of these devices may have been lacking in comfort, but newer models keep the user in mind more clearly and are designed to be comfortable to wear overnight or even under the clothes during the day.
Enlargement Devices Are Only Worth Buying If They’re Expensive
As the adage goes: “You get what you pay for”. As with any worthwhile investment, there is some truth in the idea that a cheap device is more likely to perform cheaply. That does not, mean, however, that higher priced devices are automatically better or trustworthy. Since the male enhancement industry has grown, the competition has become increasingly fierce and it’s now possible to find a number of high quality devices at reasonable prices. Don’t discount a certain device simply because it doesn’t have a hefty price tag – but don’t forgo researching more expensive models either.
Women Care About Size So Enlargement is Always Recommended
One of the most dangerous penis extender myths is that it’s a cure all for any and all bedroom problems. The idea is that all women care about is size, but that simply hasn’t been the case. Several studies have recently found that while size is a consideration for a woman, it’s only a small part of what they really want from their sex partner. In many cases, men are way more worried about penis size than women. One study found that 85% of women surveyed were happy with the size of their partner’s penis. Men, on the other hand, weren’t sop self assured, and just under half thought they didn’t quite measure up. At the end of the day, sexual performance has little to do with size, and more to do with technique, focus and making a connection. While a penis extender can help boot your confidence by giving you some extra length, it won’t cure all your bedroom woes and shouldn’t be seen as a sexual panacea.
