Dissatisfaction with our bodily proportions extends to both men and women. Women are unhappy with their breasts and men are unhappy with their penis size. In fact, most men have average sized penises although it is quite common for them to worry about being less adequate in this department than other men.

This inadequacy has fueled a huge interest in penis enlargement which is sweeping the Internet like a tidal wave. The prospect of sporting a long one in the bedroom department has a widespread appeal. In an age of sexual liberation there is no reason to hold back on this desire. The stinginess of Mother Nature in the genital region now has a remedy: You can get a bigger one.

Penis enlargement pills have had a good run in this market all to no effect apparently. Fair trade commissions and trading watchdogs have got their eyes on this. Advertising still abounds about the wonders of penis enlargement pills. Lots of disreputable companies are riding the band wagon. The word is out on pills though, so perhaps everyone should approach them with caution.

Persuasive advertising can make you think that they can't fail! Our confidence in pharmaceuticals shouldn't carry forward to penis enlargement pills. Vague descriptions of a herbal extracts might mean oregano! No one would expect that to make your penis grow! I'm sure that some herbs can increase libido and even work as aphrodisiacs, but to permanently enlarge the penis? I have my doubts.

Vacuum pumps were also in vogue for quite some time and also proved to be ineffective. The immediate results of applying a vacuum to the penis were obvious but the effect didn't last and customers began to lose confidence in the possibility of penis enlargement.

Along with pills there were patches, other weird devices and surgery and this wide range of new possibility has brought with it a great deal of mis-information. The good news is that penis enlargement is possible and the best method for this is quite simple and painless.

Around 40,000 men have surgery every year to increase their penis size and there are varying reports on effectiveness all hotly debated in journals and on the Internet. Horror stories abound about side effects, loss of sensation, scarring, etc. A lot of this bad press may have been spread by the competition of course. It's safe to assume that if 40,000 men have opted for this procedure, most of them must have had a successful outcome. The price of surgery is typically between $3000 and $10,000. Remedial surgery to rectify any problems would push this upwards.

Every day around 100,000 men are using stretching or traction devices for penis enlargement. It costs less and delivers a result without risk.
