The clear case for size concerns: Why men can't help worrying
During the summer of 2005, the Department of Andrology and Sexology at Cairo University Hospital in Cairo, Egypt, conducted a new study
about men's perceptions of their penis size. Of 92 men in the study, every one of them complained of short penis size, however, when
compared to actual measurements, all of them were indeed of normal proportions. According to the study, “None of the patients had
erectile dysfunction. None of the patients had short penis according to our measurements.”
So how is it that every one of them felt they were the unfortunate males who'd literally gotten the short end of the stick?
The study concluded that almost all of the men overestimated “normal” penis size. Indeed, this appears to be common throughout the
world, where regardless of actual size, men somehow feel too small. Men almost universally desire to be longer and better endowed.
And it's no wonder, given even a cursory look at our own culture. References to penis size are everywhere, deeply ingrained in the
language and attitudes that equate all sorts of undesirable characteristics with small penises. Having a “small dick” is said to be the same
as being a coward, a spineless weasel, an arrogant and overcompensating asshole, a weakling, or a generally unpleasant and prickly
person. The media, particularly of late, is rife with jokes and mean-spirited plotlines about penis size. Women talk more and compare more,
in a culture where sex is considered just another part of dating – and one of the worst things they can say about someone they dislike is
that he is inadequately hung.
Most men, meanwhile, don't have the opportunity for realistic comparison. As young men, their rates of development may vary wildly
from those of their peers – so the cruel comparisons during that time are quite meaningless, even though they may lead to teasing and
taunting. Later on in life, men's furtive locker-room glances aren't a great source of information either, since flaccid penises reveal little
about their erectile potential, and since size in the flaccid state is so susceptible to temperature. Where that leaves most straight men to
compare is to pornography, and face it, those guys in the flicks are not chosen for their acting ability – so you get a small section of the
male population that happens to be unusually large.
Finally, the emphasis on the size of male genitalia is traditional throughout the world and in almost every culture. Simply stated, it is an
almost universal precept that “the bigger the cock, the bigger, stronger, better, more virile and sexier the man”.
Now, as evolved and educated males of today, we know that all of this is hogwash – but of course, with such all-pervasive messages
bombarding us from every side, the doubt remains. That may explain in part why “penis enlargement” continues to be one of the most
popular searches on Google, and why most men, at one time or another, seek out the latest information available in the male enhancement
field. Indeed, the issue of penis size is such a common concern that it is now viewed by many men as simply an area of potential
self-improvement, much like weight loss or bodybuilding.
The pharmaceutical and medical sciences and natural health sectors have responded to this legitimate concern by devoting more and more
research to it. To date, there are several herbal mixtures available to assist with erection size. A Danish plastic surgeon and general
practioner, Jorn Ege Siana, M.D., developed a use-at-home device for lengthening the penis; while not a quick fix by any means (it must
be used regularly for several months in order to see results), it evidently does work on the same principles used by tribal peoples for
centuries. That is, it gradually stretches the penis with gentle traction, and since the force is more or less continuous, the body responds
by generating new cells and additional size. For more details on Dr. Siana's device, now in use in medical facilities around the world, see www.proextender.com
As for the natural health sector, remedies for penis enhancement abound, and though the market has been plagued by a number of
“copycat” formulas, a few of the originals remain successful and popular. Because they employ a blend of herbs and nutrients that
specifically target the male reproductive system, supplements like VigRX do create a noticeable change in sexual performance and
sensation. The latest entries to this market include the MaxiDerm transdermal patch – containing the same ingredients as the pills, only in
patch form so they work directly through the skin. A number of users of these products noted that they achieved the length and
performance goals they wanted by combining the pills or patches with a device like the ProExtender .
In conclusion, studies put the “average” male size around six inches, no matter which report you consult. All the studies and measurements
in the world can't tell the whole story, however, because ultimately, perception is reality. That is, it's a man's confidence and how he sees
himself that really matter. A program of intensely intimate self-improvement may be one of the most valuable things a man can do for
himself.
