Choosing the right option for you is dependent on what it is you wish to achieve, the amount of hard work you are prepared to invest, how long you're prepared to wait for the benefits, and considerably more. Reading this article will place you in the position of being able to make a reasonably educated decision.

Pump It Up

The device of choice for penis enlargement, for the uninitiated, this method involves placing what looks like a large test tube over the penis, a vacuum is created inside the test tube with the use of a manual or electrically operated pump. The vacuum inflates the penis by increasing the blood flow for a period of time. The immediate benefit is a hard large erection. Lasting changes take some time we're talking months rather than weeks. Long term results vary from individual to individual and can be affected by the quality of pump used.

The five main reasons for using penis pumps are:

1) Aiding in getting and maintaining an erection.
2) Relieving premature ejaculation and impotence.
3) To encourage better and stronger erections
4) For self-relief - some pumps have inner sleeves and vibrating bullets!
5) Gaining extra girth and length, a 20 -25% increase in girth and an extra 2 inches isn't uncommon over a period of time.

The objective is to stretch the ligament that attaches the penis to the body. It's the different types flasks, pumps, gauges, vibration, sleeves and more, found in the different qualities of pump that will ultimately decide how long it takes, and (possibly) how much of a difference will be made. Using a system that incorporates hanging weights would be a good idea to encourage the stretching of the (suspensory) ligament.

Swallow and Rub

There have been numerous promises quickly made (and quickly broken) about the latest pills that hypothetically induce penis enlargement. Most of these claims are dubious (in our humble opinion) at best, if not fraudulent. Nevertheless, we believe that good quality herbal preparations and creams can show benefits that are related to penis enlargement. Some of these are: Helping achieve stronger, lasting erections. Enhancing your sexual mood. Reducing the risk of premature ejaculation. Increasing libido. Encouraging an increased intensity of climax.

Many treatments contain a blend of well-known herbs that have been used for centuries because of their efficacy. Common ingredients include Horny Goat Weed (boosts the libido and supports erectile function.) Yohimbe (said to: 1.expand the blood vessels in the genitals 2. Accelerate adrenaline flow, 3. Heighten both sexual and emotional sensation. Further herbs used include
Ginkgo Biloba, Ginseng and others.

Some creams and lotions contain benzocaine and are applied directly to the penis., a mild numbing sensation occurs. This reduces sensation in the penis. Reported results indicate this helps intercourse last longer. Other creams contain various ingredients that are intended to stimulate blood flow and are massaged into the penis. This can result in larger, stiffer erections.

Lets Exercise

If you are the kind of person who is nervous about surgery (who wouldn't be!) or doubts the efficacy of suction pumps, weights and herbal preparations 'Natural Penis Enlargement' strategies that use a combination of exercises to increase penis size may be the way forward for you. These exercises need to be performed regularly, up to six times weekly. Progress tends to be slow and it could be more than a year before you notice any benefit.

There are many sites out there offering these techniques, but it's a case of 'Buyer Beware'. Some less scrupulous site owner's bulk out the price by offering un-necessary add-ons, shop around and pay only for what you need. Remember these exercise are merely doing the same thing that a good quality pump would do but with a lot more effort (and possibly expense) on your part.

Under the Knife

Penis lengthening using urological surgery has been done for many years now. There are also various procedures to enlarge the girth of the penis, which can add 30-50% in circumference. However it is only recently that these procedures have become even a little more popular (we wonder why?). The lengthening operation involves making a small incision just above the base of the penis and cutting the suspensory ligaments, which hold about 2 inches of the penis inside the body. The immediate 1.5 to 2 inch gain may make this more appealing for some.

As is the case with any cosmetic surgery if you are considering this option, be sure that you have a number of consultations with specialists and doctors and be certain that you know exactly what is going to be done. This is definitely something NOT to rush into.

Let's Take Care of Your Erectile Dysfunction Right Now

The word is that men think about sex every few seconds. I think I may think about it more often then that. Only kidding.

Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, is the lack of ability to maintain an acceptable erection to carry out intercourse and ejaculation.

Some erectile dysfunction causes

Reduced testosterone level, which can be treated with hormone therapy
A side-effect from some medications, including meds for depression, heart disease, high blood pressure and epilepsy. How many drugs do this cover?
Damage to the groin, or nerve damage.
Overuse or abuse of drugs including alcohol, tobacco and recreational drugs.
A possible side-effect of some medical procedures, including prostate or urinary tract surgery. How often have we seen this before?

Decent blood flow to the penis is essential for erections. High levels of cholesterol and fat in your bloodstream cause deposits in the walls of your blood vessels. This leads to atherosclerosis and contributes to high blood pressure, both of which can damage blood vessels and reduce blood flow. Exercise helps lower cholesterol and blood pressure. A diet low in fat and cholesterol also helps to prevent and reverse the buildup of fatty deposits in blood vessels.

Some research suggests that ginkgo may be useful in erectile dysfunction, due to their ability to stimulate blood flow to the penis. In one study of 60 men with impotence due to poor blood circulation demonstrated a 50% success rate after 6 months. In addition, some research suggests that ginkgo may be useful for impotence caused by drugs in the Prozac family as well as other types of antidepressant medications.

Alcohol in moderation may lower inhibitions and help to set the mood. However, when consumed to excess although it may heighten desire it definitely impairs sexual performance.

Chocolate contains a compound called phenylethylamine that triggers the release of dopamine a chemical that is also released during orgasm. As a result chocolate can promote feelings of euphoria and enhance pleasure.

Chilies can stimulate the nervous system, which in turn may accentuate the sense of sexual arousal. This may be achieved through the release of endorphins in the brain.

Ginger is believed to have a similar stimulant effect that improves circulation to the genitals.

Honey is rich in the mineral Boron that helps the body utilize the hormone estrogen.

Oysters may be good for you after all. Their magic powers however have nothing to do with their appearance. Instead it is their zinc content, which is valuable. Zinc is essential for production of testosterone and zinc deficiency may cause prostate problems in men. Healthy zinc levels are also vital to maintain sperm counts.

Soy is credited with benefits in combating the effects of PMS and Menopause in women and may help improve vaginal lubrication by better utilizing estrogen. Soy is also believed to promote prostate health.

There may not be any magic concoction to produce an intense libido. Many factors besides what we eat can affect our sexual desire and performance. However, the evidence seems clear. Maintaining a generally healthy diet and supplementing it with certain foods in moderation can have a positive impact on sex life
