While using traction as a penis extender might be a relatively new application for the technique, the technique itself has been around for many years and is a well-established procedure. Egyptian documents dating from around 3000 B.C., unearthed in 1862 by Edwin Smith, mention the use of traction for a variety of conditions including back injuries and spinal fractures. Hippocrates also described the use of 
traction for the treatment of spinal dislocation somewhere around the time of 400 B.C. Modern medical applications for traction began in the late 19th century. One of the earliest modern mentions of the application of traction was in 1883. The Russian physician Osip Mochutkovsky published a paper in a Russian medical magazine describing his usage of suspension to treat certain spinal conditions. Within 15 years suspension was being combined with traction to treat a variety of spinal and neurological conditions, and by 1934 the technique was also being used to treat a variety of circulatory conditions as well.
Most modern applications and strategies of traction were developed in the mid 1970s, when the technique was somewhat revitalized by new research supporting its benefits. New ways of applying traction to the body, including electronically automated intermittent traction, were soon developed, leading to an increase in the success that traction experienced.
The prevailing theory of how traction works is that by stretching a joint or limb, spaces are created for the greater influx of water and blood which allows for the growth of nerves and other connective tissue. Recently, this principle has been applied to penis enlargement. The use of a penis extender that utilizes traction may be a somewhat frightening idea to many men, but given traction’s long history of success in a variety of medical applications, men should feel very comfortable using these products.
The modern penis extender capitalizes on this long history and thousands of years of research to create a solution for men seeking extended length and girth. Increasing the length and girth of the penis by using a penis extender can help provide men and their partners with the sexual experience they desire.
Traction works on the penis the same way it works for spinal injuries. By applying a small force to the penis that stretches it gently over time, it fosters new natural growth in the organ. The slight strain placed on the organ by the traction encourages greater blood flow to the area and encourages the growth of new musculature to compensate. With new musculature and increased blood flow comes natural growth. This is known to be a very safe procedure, and since it does not involve painful surgeries or invasive cutting, it will also be almost completely pain free. It may feel strange at first, but it will ultimately produce exactly the results men are looking for in a penile enlargement system.
There is no medication involved in the traction system, so there are no side effects to fear either. Many other systems, like pharmaceutical remedies, come with a frightening list of potential side effects, not the least of which can be serious heart issues. Perhaps the only side effect you will experience with a traction system is an enhanced sense of confidence in your ability to perform. Confidence, after all, is one of the main contributors to a healthy and satisfying sexual experience. Even if the growth experienced is minimal, sometimes even that will be enough to boost the man’s swagger, and sometimes just a minor change is all it takes. The difference between success and failure sexually can be a matter of just millimeters.
Although it is possible that traction may not work for every man, it is safe enough that any man wanting more length can give it a try. Unlike many other solutions, the research supporting traction has been centuries in the making. Any medical procedure that has been around as long as traction must produce some results and must have minimal negative consequences. Procedures like leaching that are later debunked do not tend to stick around in the medical lexicon for long. It follows then that procedures such as traction that have lasted for thousands of years can be trusted with confidence and are very likely to produce exactly the favorable results that you seek.
