Benefits and Challenges of Penis Supplementation

PENIS SUPPLEMENTATION: A GOOD IDEA?

In recent conversations, we discussed the subject of penis supplementation and its possible rewards and drawbacks. For years now, the body building industry has reflected on the principle of supplementation using nutrient and prescription steroids or anabolic molecules. The professional bodybuilding arena learned to embrace this protocol, but not without great human suffering. Anabolic steroid use was widely unregulated and therefore subject to abuse by those who thought more was better. Wiser bodybuilders learned that balance (prudent use of the quantity/quality of steroids for limited time periods during the bulking-up process) was the best policy for their long-term health and supra-normal muscle gains.

Some in penis enlargement circles have expressed a desire to explore this subject by examining benefits and risks of certain penis supplementation methods. There is a great proliferation of male enhancement supplements available.

NON-PRESCRIPTION vs. PRESCRIPTION PENIS SUPPLEMENTS

Some of the names that I am familiar with among non-prescription penis supplements are horny goat weed, DHEA (widely available and a precursor to testosterone in the body), Niacin (enhances peripheral circulation/flushing), and L-Arginine (a source/provider of nitrous oxide for the body, the key molecule in inducing erections).

Prescription drugs include Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, and bioidentical hormones. The main hormone of interest is bioidentical testosterone, which can be ordered through a compounding pharmacist.

BEST NON-PRESCRIPTION SUPPLEMENTS

There are hundreds of male enhancement supplements on the market today. Many are simply a waste of money. However, here at PEGym.com, we’ve tested numerous and found three supplements to be the most effective when it comes to aiding penis enlargement.

TESTOSTERONE PENIS SUPPLEMENTATION

A bioidentical hormone is identical to that produced in the body and is therefore thought to be more optimal than non-bioidentical. Non-bioidentical hormones are not identical to those synthesized in the body. These molecules have a “side carbon chain” added to make them patentable and hence profitable for the pharmaceutical company, and should therefore be avoided! When I refer to testosterone throughout this discussion, I am referring to the bioidentical form.

Testosterone requires a doctor’s prescription, comes in cream form, and can be applied directly to the most permeable skin on the body: namely between the legs and under the arm pits.

Let’s start with the risks. Many people do not realize that the body is exquisitely balanced in all respects. Your body’s testosterone is produced mainly by the testes, and this production is controlled by the pituitary gland through the secretion of gonadotrophic hormone to maintain steady state levels in the body. This “feedback” mechanism works magnificently in younger men, maintaining consistently optimal levels. (I will arbitrarily define a younger man as under 50, depending on the health status of the individual.) After a certain age the testosterone availability and production diminish. When this drop is medically verified in the individuals’ blood levels, some physicians are beginning to prescribe testosterone.

WILL TESOSTERONE BOOSTS LEAD TO A BIGGER PENIS?

What would be the physiological scenario if a younger man were to supplement with testosterone to induce supra-growth in his penis? As there is not significant scientific information that I am aware of to concretely answer this question, we will have to look at a similar model to hypothesize and extrapolate, namely, classic professional bodybuilding.

The supra-muscular results achieved by professional bodybuilders using anabolic steroids are well known, although wise bodybuilders use them prudently so as not to endanger their health.  Similarly, testosterone increases metabolic activity throughout the body, and particularly in the penis. Question: Can above-normal levels prudently administered for limited periods of time make a size difference in your penis? In professional bodybuilding, a significant muscular enhancement results; therefore, an extrapolated hypothesis would suggest the answer is probably yes in penis enhancement, provided testosterone use is coupled with penis exercises. We won’t know for certain until a significant number of men try this under an MD’s supervision. While, hypothetically, prudent periodic use of testosterone cream supplement applied directly on the penis (using the professional body building model) may cause additional growth, there are negatives to balance out. You must also note that unsupervised abuse of testosterone can lead to hypogonadism or testicular shrinkage (remember feedback mechanism of your body) and male pattern baldness for starters.

PENIS SUPPLEMENTATION: IS IT FOR YOU?

The use of penis enlargement pills, penis supplements, and bioidentical testosterone is, I suspect, likely to be experimented with as it has been in professional bodybuilding, and there are those who are risk takers in efforts to push the envelope of sexual development.  Remember that the best starting position is optimum health and sexuality, obtained through nutrition, prudent nutrient supplementation (vitamins, minerals, etc.), cardiovascular exercise, weight training and/or regular sports activity.

In my view, it is wise to use testosterone only after you reach an age where MD-supervised medical testing determines a deficiency has occurred, and only if your physical health permits the use of this hormone. Professional bodybuilders have used anabolics for limited durations for decades, and coupled with great advances in the equipment, this has resulted in substantive “success.”

In conclusion, if I were a young man and knew what I know now, I would avoid the use of any hormone and maintain a healthful life regimen.  If I were a young man and did not know what I know now, I might be tempted to push the envelope and prudently experiment with bioidentical testosterone. I hope this has shed some light on a very provocative subject.

Penis Size Surveys

Most men think they are probably smaller than average, but by looking at popular penis size surveys conducted you can see where you truly stand. This will help you set your own reasonable goals for length and girth.  This article by the bestselling author Clive Peters will help you understand where you’re starting in terms of average,  help you choose your proper goals, while also helping you be realistic in the results to come.

CAN WE BELIEVE PENIS SIZE SURVEYS?

In any study, the greater the numbers surveyed, the more accurate the results will be. The study method matters, too: are volunteers individually measured by researchers, or are subjects providing self-reported measurements? Surveys where men’s penises are individually measured by a third party present difficulties. Imagine the logistics of measuring thousands around the world, as well as the range of ages, time of day, room temperature, how recently they had sex, not to mention the anxiety that may affect the men’s erection strength.

ARE THE BEST PENIS SIZE SURVEYS SELF-REPORTED?

One might argue that the best surveys must be those carried out in large numbers over the Internet, using information provided by self-measuring respondents. But what about those fooling around, the braggarts, and the outright liars? My assumption is that the chances are that a few, a very few, will provide misleading information and they will stand out (pardon the pun) from the rest. Sheer numbers will provide a fair indication of the averages.

You can read about PEGym’s most recent penis size survey here — Discussion of the 2015 Penis Size Survey.

Penis size studies aren’t just a matter of curiosity. An accurate survey of penis sizes is useful towards both science and to yourself as you set individual goals for the penis size you want. Setting proper goals leads to getting penis enlargement results. Research scientists, when referring to a world-wide survey carried out for the manufacturers of Durex® condoms, explained: “The size of the penis is a key part of the equation as to whether or not a condom fits properly. If it does, it’s more likely to be used consistently and successfully.”

PENIS SIZE SURVEY RESULTS: HOW DO YOU MEASURE UP?

Scientists compared the results of erect penis length and circumference measurements. They showed that, in agreement with previous studies, there is a distribution of penis lengths and circumferences within a given population, characterized by an average value. “The further you get away from this average value, the fewer men report having penises with these sizes. While the ‘mythical’ well-endowed man with a very long and very wide penis does exist, there are not many of them about,” said the condom company, Durex, in reference to their penis size survey.
The Durex® survey attracted 2,936 respondents:

  • 61 percent aged 16-24 years
  • 24 percent aged 25-34 years
  • 14 percent aged 35 and over

The results are shown in graphic form.

This particular survey attracted responses mainly from the United States but also from 26 other countries, including Britain, Canada, and Holland. Half of those taking part said they were circumcised (not surprising since in the US, which contributed to 39 percent of responses, circumcision for non-religious reasons is still carried out routinely).

AVERAGE PENIS LENGTH

Analyzing the results, the Durex® team found that:

  • The average erect penis length was 6.4 inches (163 mm) with a standard deviation of 1.1 inches (28 mm).
  • Around 3 percent of the sample measured 3.9 inches (100 mm) or less.
  • Just over 6 percent claimed a length of 9.8 inches (250 mm) or more.

Of course, these are just starting stats. Keep in mind that the penis enlargement survey conducted on this website showed that penis exercises can help you build a longer penis, a thicker penis, and better sexual health.

AVERAGE PENIS GIRTH

Girth, according to the analysis, is more difficult to measure, but team found that:

  • the highest number of responses fell within the 4.76-5.1 inches (121-130 mm) grouping.
  • The average erect circumference, at its widest point, was 5.2 inches (133 mm) with a standard deviation of 0.8 inches (21 mm).
  • The findings also suggested that smaller than average circumferences are more common than those that are higher than the average.

As part of this survey, respondents were also asked which part of the penis was its widest point. In 42 percent of cases, the head of the penis was its widest point, while for 27 percent of men the widest point was along the shaft. A further 12 percent said the base of the penis was its widest point, and 14 percent claimed their penises did not vary in width at all.

PENIS SIZE SURVEY RESULTS CAN HELP YOU SET PROPER GOALS

Survey respondents were also asked their views on how well condoms fit, and whether or not they had experienced problems with breakage or slippage. “When it came to suggesting improvements to making condoms fit better,” say the researchers, “42 percent said they should be ‘better-shaped.’” There was also a clear majority in favor of increasing the width of condoms around the head of the penis. “However,” they added, “one fifth of respondents wanted nothing to change.”

All I can add is that I’m glad I don’t have the responsibility of designing condoms; as I’ve said before, we’re all different! It’s easy for us to understand the importance of such statistics in the manufacture and design of condoms – and the original reasons for penis size surveys – but these surveys are equally helpful to you and me in determining how we compare to start with, and in setting our penis enlargement and male enhancement goals.

About Clive Peters

Born in London, Clive Peters has been happily married to the same woman for over 40 years. In common with all men at some time their lives, Clive suffered from erectile dysfunction (ED). His doctor suggested using Viagra, but this prompted Clive to seek a more natural remedy. Exchanging notes and ideas with other like-minded men on the Internet, he met Dr. Trevor Roberts. Over eight years, the two of them researched and developed penis enhancement routines that resulted in Clive’s book: How to Maximize Your Manhood: What Every Red-Blooded Male Needs to Know.

My Penis Enlargement Story – From Hope to Conviction

I had the largest grin on my face. I put down the ruler and marked down 4/10 of an inch next to the “length added” column and 1/10 next to “girth added” bringing the total gain to two inches in length and one inch in girth. I felt like a new man. Hell, I had become a new man. It was at that point that I knew the book, which would eventually become Penis Exercises, needed to be written.

Penis Essential Vein Oil: EVO

essential vein oil

Similar to many other penis oils, Essential Vein Oil (EVO) was made for the sole purpose of penile exercising. For that reason, EVO is a more beneficial lubricant than the standard Vaseline, baby oil, and other commonly used lubricants. The downfall of EVO is that you have to make it yourself, making it a tad more expensive. But that hasn’t stopped hundreds of men from making it their lubrication of choice.
