Although the advent of commercially available sexual enhancement products didn’t arrive until the early 1900s, people have been finding ways to enhance their sex lives since the beginning of recorded history. In ancient China, India and throughout the Middle East men were known to tie weights to their penis, engage in hours of specialized exercises and even introduce stinging nettles and insects in order to achieve gains in penile length, girth or a better erection. Today, modern medicine and research have delivered a wealth of products people can choose from which are safer than these early methods but which still need to be used responsibly.

New Options for Sexual Enhancement

One of the most popular forms of sexual enhancement is penis enlargement. Many men find that increasing length or girth by even a small amount makes a huge difference in their overall sexual performance as well as their self-confidence. Many penis enlargers are now available which focus on length and which have been clinically studied by a number of researchers. Recent studies regarding traction devices specifically have been extremely positive and have found that gains can be achieved when the devices are used correctly and over a long period of time.

The issue of time is where many safety concerns often crop up. Advancements in medicine, technology and even commerce and industry have led all of us to expect fast results. Cosmetic surgeries have given way to in office treatments that can take inches off a person’s waist, improve the look of their skin or even erase wrinkles and cellulite in an afternoon. Sexual enhancement products have jumped on the Right Now bandwagon as well and products that can deliver fast results are a growing segment of the sexual enhancement industry.

Penis Enlargement and Patience

In terms of penis enlargement options, there are some products which can safely deliver fast results. The most popular of these is the vacuum pump. Originally introduced in 1917, the vacuum pump quickly became one of the most popular and widespread enlargement devices on the market. The pump works quite simply and draws blood into the penis, engorging it beyond its usual girth. This adds size and stamina for men almost instantaneously and with minimal effort. The vacuum pump has been used for years and when people talk about penis enlargement, it is the vacuum pump they most commonly think of. These instant gains are short-lived, however, and this has become part of the problem with the public perception of penile enlargement.  Many men still have the idea that they can achieve results quickly and this impatience can lead to serious problems.

Changing the shape of your body takes time no matter if it’s trimming your waist, toning your muscles or adding length or girth to your penis. Rushing the process can result in sprains, injuries and even more serious conditions such as Peyronie’s disease which can occur if there are several sprains or injuries which lead to a buildup of scar tissue. These conditions can be serious and could require medical attention in extreme cases. Men who want to engage in responsible penis enlargement must remember that time is the key. The process may be slow, but taking that extra time allows the penis to stretch more naturally and allows the underlying tissue to recover, retain its elasticity and results in bigger gains over time.

Any type of self-improvement is an admiral endeavour. Improving your physical, emotional and mental health can have a far reaching impact on your overall health, self-confidence and general happiness. For men, penis enlargement offers the chance to give their sexual performance a boost as well as improving their self-esteem and body image. However, although enlargement can be done at home, proper care and adhering to safety guidelines are essential for long term success. Before investing in any enlargement or enhancement device, be sure you understand what you’ll need to do, how long the process can take and what steps you need to take to ensure the results are long-lasting and healthy.
