Male Enhancement Techniques: Myths and Realities - Urology

This method for enlarging the "jj"?


First of all, the common perception is that bigger is better.
However, for women, the average length of the vagina is generally less than 10 centimeters, usually around 8 centimeters.
Therefore, the length of the penis is definitely sufficient for sexual intercourse.
Of course, if specific techniques are required, a certain length may be necessary.

I am glad to learn about some non-medical treatment/exercise methods from the provided link.
After careful observation, it truly opens one's eyes to methods not mentioned in textbooks.
Personally, I believe that if the movements are gentle and not too tense, it should not cause harm to the penis, and such practices may be useful, or at least harmless.
Additionally, much of the current medical knowledge has been gradually accumulated by individuals through experience and refinement.
If there are any unclear points, feel free to ask again for further discussion and research.
So, do you mean I can try it out? Do you also think the effectiveness of this method is very high? Can I follow his methods and schedule? Also, will it change from the hardness of a cucumber to that of a banana? I am worried it might get worse.
My penis is 12 cm and very erect, you could say at a 150-degree angle.
Is it possible that using this method could change it to a 90-degree angle? I have always wanted to increase the length of my penis.
Perhaps the foreskin covers it when erect, which prevents stimulation, resulting in only 12 cm.

Doctor, please accurately tell me if, after reviewing the website I provided, you really think the possibility is very high? Do you recommend that I follow his schedule? Thank you...

To add a point, currently, there are surgical methods in Western medicine for penile lengthening.
You can inquire at a major medical center.
This involves cutting the suspensory ligament at the base of the penis, which can effectively increase its length.
The above is provided for your reference.

Jason: Hello, my personal opinion is that if done carefully and gradually, it should not cause harm to the penis.
As for its effectiveness, I have my doubts, as it seems to involve stretching exercises that utilize pulling methods to lengthen the penis.
Is there any therapeutic effect? I am quite skeptical.
If you decide to proceed, the movements should be gentle and slow, avoiding any pain to the penis as a principle; otherwise, excessive pulling can easily lead to nerve or vascular injury, which would be counterproductive.

There are also individuals in the country who have attempted other methods, such as hanging weights from the penis, which occasionally results in nerve injuries leading to permanent erectile dysfunction.
Caution is essential.
Many methods that lack medical validation may not necessarily be ineffective; however, due to the absence of large-scale cases and medical monitoring, there are occasional reports of injuries.

Additionally, could this lead to a decrease in the hardness of erections? My opinion is that if the penis is not injured, this should not occur.
However, if improper force causes injury, there is indeed a risk in this regard.
If there are any unclear points, feel free to ask again, and we can further discuss and research together.

When it comes to male enhancement techniques, there are numerous myths and misconceptions that can cloud judgment and lead to ineffective or even harmful practices. The idea that "bigger is better" is a common belief, but it is essential to understand the anatomy and physiology of the male reproductive system to dispel this myth.

Firstly, the average length of the vagina is around 7.5 to 10 centimeters (approximately 3 to 4 inches). This means that for most sexual activities, the average size of an erect penis, which is typically around 12 to 16 centimeters (about 4.7 to 6.3 inches), is more than sufficient for sexual satisfaction. The notion that a larger penis is necessary for sexual pleasure is largely unfounded, as many factors contribute to sexual satisfaction, including emotional connection, technique, and overall intimacy.

Regarding the various non-medical enhancement techniques, such as exercises or devices that claim to increase penis size, it is crucial to approach these with caution. While some methods may seem harmless, they can lead to injury if not performed correctly. For example, excessive stretching or pulling can cause damage to the penile tissue, leading to scarring, pain, or even erectile dysfunction.
The idea of achieving a "banana-like" curvature or altering the angle of an erection through exercises is also misleading. While some individuals may have a natural curvature, significant changes in the shape or angle of the penis are not typically achievable through non-surgical means. Furthermore, concerns about the rigidity of an erection (e.g., from "cucumber-like" to "banana-like") should be addressed with a healthcare professional, as these changes can indicate underlying health issues.

If you are considering following a specific regimen or technique for enhancement, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider or a urologist. They can provide evidence-based information and help you understand the potential risks and benefits of any method you are considering.
In terms of penis size and sexual performance, it is important to focus on what truly matters: communication with your partner, understanding each other's needs, and exploring different ways to enhance intimacy. Many individuals find that emotional connection and mutual pleasure are far more significant than physical attributes.

In conclusion, while the desire for enhancement is understandable, it is essential to approach the topic with a critical mindset. Many claims about enhancement techniques lack scientific backing, and the potential for harm is real. Always prioritize safety and seek professional guidance when considering any changes to your sexual health practices. Remember, confidence and satisfaction in sexual relationships often stem from emotional intimacy rather than physical size.
