Penis Enlargement

And if so, what is the best way to make them permanent? The answer to these two questions is yes, for the first, and “the rack” and exercises for the second. Just about everyone knows about the rack used for bone and body-stretching torture in the middle ages. If the torturers stopped after a minute or two, and left the victim attached, their body parts would eventually adjust and they would be okay, depending on how much they had been stretched. Now, this is a dramatic tactic to resort to in order to be taller, but it would have worked!

The same thing applies to penis extenders, except the stretching is so slight and so gradual that no discomfort is experienced. Clearly the penis is a different type of body part to say, an arm, because the penis does not have any bones. You could stretch a tongue much more than a nose because one is flexible and the other is not.

When cells are exposed to sustained tension they break into two, and the tissue can enlarge. This has to be so right, to allow for growth of the human body. When people put on weight, the cells in that part of the body stretch to cope with it. Sometimes the cells can shrink back a little without much side effect, as they are so elastic, but more often than not there will be evidence, as it pregnancy stretchmarks in women.

In the penis the two most important aspects are the three main chambers that swell when they are engorged with blood, and the outer covering that binds them all together. The chambers are the corpus cavernosa and the outer covering the tunica albuginea. We think of it as a “tunic” for the penis, a nice little jacket just the right size that can be taken out by a tailor to allow for growth!

Now the neat thing about this tunic is that it is made up mostly of protein structures, collagens and elastins. The elastins allow the tissue to stretch when erect. Certain cells that generate these proteins are called fibroblasts, and they multiply and produce more connective tissue when brought under sustained stress.
But also when subject to tension, the tunica fibroblasts get to work making more elastin, and in turn allow for yet more stretching.

What kind of gains can one expect? According to the "Tractive Elongation of the Penis by Means of Stretching" study presented at the 1st International Interdisciplinary Symposium on Genitourinary Reconstructive Surgery in Barcelona, Spain, 18 patients who wore a traction device 12 hours a day for six months achieved an average gain of 24 percent.

Our brave penis stretch reviewer wore the extender on and off over the course of a year for about four hours a day, only one third of the max 12 hours a day, and achieved an erect gain of about 1.5 inches.

Ultimately the gains achieved are likely to reflect the time someone is willing to put into this. The more a man wears it, the longer it gets. This is a long-term project.

Penis enlargement gains can also be achieved by use of male enhancement pills combined with penis exercises. Both of these expand the capacity of the penis to take blood, which is the basis of an erection. This is discussed further in other reports on this site.
