Since the 1960's and the sexual revolution, there has been an interest in penis enlargement. One of the methods on offer was a vacuum pump. Intended for people with erectile dysfunction, the immediate and impressive result was of an engorged penis that seemed as though it had grown in size. It had grown in size but unfortunately the penis returned to its original size soon after removing the device.

Nevertheless unscrupulous companies marketed the product as a penis enlargement device and a boom in vacuum pumps resulted. Some time later there were worrying reports about damage being caused to the erectile tissue after extended use. This could have meant permanent dysfunction for some men.

The hunger among men to increase the size of their penises has created a huge demand. Ineffectual or untested merchandise continue to proliferate. Customers who are ripped off keep quiet because of the intimacy of the subject and their understandable reluctance to broadcast their participation in penis enlargement programs. Out of this rat's nest a few reputable companies have emerged who were entering the market with integrity and taking the time to test their products before marketing them.

A new approach to penis enlargement emerged around this time with the introduction of a traction device. The idea was based on a reasonable assertion: Put an area of the body under pressure and a natural function will build up tissue mass to relieve the tension.

Here is some background to this approach: A tribe in Burma place brass rings around the necks of females from an early age. As the rings pile up they force the head upwards encouraging the neck to grow longer. Over several years a length of ten inches is not unusual. If human tissue is put under strain it will build more tissue to reduce the tension.

Leading on from that knowledge someone designed a device that would stretch the penis in a controlled way for a set period of time every day. The amount of time was the focus of extensive testing. Too little and nothing happens. Too much time and the tissue becomes exhausted and again nothing happens. After six months of clinical trials they established a method and proved that permanent growth was indeed possible.

An average growth of 29 percent was achieved. This means a 6 inch penis could be enlarged to nearly 8 inches. The girth or circumference of the penis also enlarged proportionately. So out of the dark ages of vacuum pumps has emerged the new age of enlargement. Over 100,000 men have now got a bigger penis as a result. Anyone who wants to begin penis enlargement now has an effective method at his disposal.
