Psychosexual problems for men

Penis enlargement

You might think the internet had been designed for spammers to peddle penis enlargement products, at least judging by the number of spam emails I receive every day promising me untold sexual pleasure if I have a larger penis - which, for a modest investment in a bottle of pills or an on-line enlargement course, it seems I can easily have!

Well, the only thing that's certain here is the strength of the desire among men for a larger penis. I wrote about why that might be such a strong desire on another page of this site, but briefly, it seems men have come to associate masculinity with penis size. The larger your dick, the more of a man you are. At least that's what we've been led to believe by popular culture.....(although I must add that one correspondent emailed me to say I was wrong: that he had a naturally big penis, and he liked it because it felt great during sex). Well, I have to say, I've spoken to plenty of men with a small or average sized penis, and not one of them has had any complaints about the pleasure he received during vaginal intercourse. As Anna has written, the vagina is normally closed and it actually opens out to accommodate a penis, gripping it as the penis moves inside the vagina. A larger penis will not therefore add more pleasure to a man's experience of sex, unless he gets satisfaction from the symbolic power he sees in it.

 

Anyhow, leaving aside why men might desire a larger penis, the question is, does penis enlargement work? There are some very clear facts here, as well as some information that is less explicit. First of all, penis enlargement pills are a scam, akin to nothing more than the snake oil peddled by travelling salesmen of the Wild West. Not that this has stopped men buying them. For your amusement, you might like to read this article, entitled Anatomy of a penis pill swindle.

 

Next, there is the option of surgery. For any man to want to have surgery on his most precious commodity (just joking!) he'd need to be fairly desperate. It's true to say that some men who are born with a very small penis, or one that anatomically is enclosed in the abdomen, can benefit from surgery, but for most men it's just not a sensible option. You can read more about penis enlargement surgery here.

 

And then there are the penis enlargement programs which I mentioned at the start of the article. I'd have been inclined to say that they couldn't possibly work until very recently. The theory is that by stretching the penis very hard you can cause an expansion in the internal erectile chambers. The penis isn't a muscle, so this isn't like training up a muscle to get it fitter and healthier - it's much more like a process of stretching any flexible body tissue (earlobes, lips, and so on) so it expands in length or girth.

The reason I changed my view somewhat is that this article by Salon.com seems to recount a case where the whole theory and practice of penis enlargement has had some spectacular results. It looks like Mike Salvini, who's featured in the article, has time and energy to spend on an intensive series of stretching exercises, and, if the article is to be believed, he has indeed increased the size of his penis considerably.

 

So does that mean we should all go out and try it? No, because I think if you have a normal sized penis (which means between five and six inches erect) then wanting a larger one is a sign of a problem: a lack of confidence in your masculinity, a doubt about your maleness, or anxiety about your sexual ability. In addition, I believe there is a serious risk of injury from treating your penis so harshly. You would not want to end up with Peyronie's disease.

 

In any case, women do not get more pleasure from a larger penis. This is all about men and what makes them feel like a man. My suggestion to you is that if you are considering penis enlargement exercises, you forget them and focus on something much more helpful - find the company of men who can support and reinforce your sense of self, who will appreciate you for who you are, not what you have or how well you compete, and a relationship with a woman who accepts you as you are.
