Does Penis Enlargement Cream Work?

By Steven M Jones

Everyone giggles a little when talking about penis enlargement, but the fact is, humans have been fascinated by the idea of gigantic penises since the beginning of art. Early cave paintings featured gigantic penises on male figures, the Romans had the god Priapus (that would be something like Cock or Dick in English), and one tribe in Africa was practicing penis enlargement techniques as long as 2000 years ago. The question is, do enlargement techniques really work - and specifically, can penis enlargement cream make your penis bigger?

Penis Enlargement Creams and Pills: The Truth
Because sex studies are just lots of fun, there's been a surprisingly large amount of work on what penis enlargement techniques work. The consensus: there is no - I repeat, NO - pharmaceutical treatment that has been shown effective at penis enlargement. But think about it: if there were, your doctor could make a fortune by directing you to just the right cream, oil, or pill.
That doesn't mean there's no chance for you. There are dozens of techniques that DO help enlarge your penis, if you're willing to work for it. The main effective techniques are a massage technique called jelqing, the use of penis pumps, and kegel exercises.
Jelquing can be described as a modified form of masturbation, in which the jelquer "milks" blood into the head of the penis. In one study in the 1970s, a doctor found that using jelquing techniques increased penis size by an average of 1.4 inches in length and an inch in girth.
Penis pumps, while usually treated as a punch line, have also been shown to be effective when used properly and regularly. They work about the same way as jelquing - by stretching membranes and encouraging blood flow to feed new cells - and not surprisingly have roughly the same results.
Kegel exercises work a different way. They tone the muscles used to control urine flow, and have more than just enlargement benefits. Though the size boost you get won't be as big as with the other two exercises, properly-done kegel toning increases your stamina and the overall health of your pelvic area.
A caution: these exercises must be done properly. Incorrect exercise can cause severe damage and pain, from rashes and blisters to total impotence over time.
