In this short but facts-saturated article we would like to get you acquainted with some actual misconceptions related to the issue of the penis size. The truth is that any male person can live a perfectly happy and sexually satisfying life even if the size of his penis is average or below average.
The misconceptions related to penis size question are quite many and reality should be separated from fiction and prejudice.

There is no denial that all businesses connected with the issue of penis size enhancement (vitamins, enhancement pills, creams, pumps, extenders, penile surgery etc) are currently rather profitable and the sales reach more than $1 billion per year.
Condom manufacturers are the best experts in the question of the real penis size. They have done several comprehensive researches into this problem and came with some interesting answers. Here are some facts on penis size from their studies:
According to the results of the conducted research, the average size of the male reproductive organ is between 5 and 7 inches when erect; and that is true for more than 70 percent of male population.
Only when an erected penis measures less than 3 inches it can be considered abnormally small, but even in this case the size is not an obstacle for happy sexual activities.
The penis size statistics obtained during the conducted researches have not detected any ethnically oriented dependence. That means that the popular beliefs about penis size superiority of black race over the Caucasians are totally false, as well as the myth about Japanese gentlemen having very modestly-sized manhood.
Regarding the belief that the size and girth of the penis is an important issue for females since they receive more satisfaction with large-sized male instruments – this belief has not been confirmed by the recent studies. On the contrary, recent Dutch study of 375 sexually active women who had recently given birth revealed the opposite facts. Seventy-nine percent of the polled women considered the penis length as totally unimportant for sexual satisfaction; at the same time the girth of the penis was said to be of no real importance by sixty nine percent of the females taking part in the study.
The attractively advertised methods of penis enhancement through exercise systems and all-natural food supplements are totally false. These methods simply do not work the way they are claimed to work by their promoters.
Is the penis size that important for your sexual partner?
Who can be in better position to judge the importance of your penis size than your sexual partner? And if you remember your high school days, when you were so young and innocent…
The sad reality is that the manufacturers of attractively advertised penis enlargement products are concerned about making pretty money, so they actively propagate the beliefs of men's insecurity related to the small penis size. To remedy the problem that advertise their products but… to tell the truth, their products do not bring the positive effects they are advertised to bring.
Four methods to remedy the small penis problems that are guaranteed not to remedy anything!
It may surprise your or not, but most popular methods recommended to improve your penis size do not actually bring any positive results. Here are four most common examples.
1. Penis enhancement exercise, often referred to as Jelqing, based on stretching and squeezing of your manhood. They are claimed to enlarge the penis size if performed on daily basis for a considerably extended period of time.
In the first place, this system is not quite safe, though it is safer than other methods. The severe scar formation and/or disfigured penis shape are often an outcome of practicing penis enhancement exercise.
But even after diligent practicing the Jelqing system the only possible result that you actually receive is to some degree larger appearance of a flaccid penis. The gained size applies only to a flaccid penis, your erected manhood remains of the same size it has always used to be.
2. Vacuum pumps and other devices for penis enhancement. The operation of vacuum pumps is based on creating substantially lowered pressure around the penis shaft and in this way attracting additional blood volumes into the penis erectile tissues. Because of this effect the pumps can be useful for people suffering from impotence.
But the effect of a larger penis created by a vacuum pump is purely an illusion. The enlargement effect is never permanent. As soon as the device is removed the penis returns into its original state. And to make thing worse, the repeated application of a pump can lead to damages of the elastic tissue in the penis. As a result, the natural erections become less hard and staying; sometimes a user gets no erections at all and becomes totally dependant on a vacuum pump usage.
3. Penis enlargement through application of a stretching force. This method of enhancement is potentially dangerous, since it is likely to cause permanent trauma to your penis anatomy.
4. Penis enhancement pills, lotions, sprays, patches and creams. As a rule, they contain useful vitamins, minerals and herbal extracts. In some cases, like Viagra and Cialis, their formulation is based on synthetic chemicals and important sexual hormones such as testosterone. In general, they beneficially influence the overall health state, improve blood circulation and increase the sexual urge (the libido). But it should be especially stressed, that no pills or creams etc have ever been able to increase penis size in adult men. The opposite is more likely to happen.
The method of cosmetic penis enhancement surgery really brings certain permanent results.
But speaking about the penile surgery we should make clear at once that EVERY professional medical society strongly advises (official policy statements have been issued) against all surgical procedures to enhance the penis if they are done out of purely cosmetic considerations.
The results of penile surgery can be disastrous.
In the first place, in order to make the penis appear longer than before the penile surgery typically involves cutting the suspensory ligament. This is an important part of the penis anatomy that attaches the penis to the pubic bone.
Thanks to the suspensory ligament the penis obtains an upward tilt in the erected state. The ligament also gives stabilization to the penis. After the ligament is surgically severed, the direction of an erected penis can become downward-pointed.
After the ligament cutting the penis sometimes wobbles or gets erected at strange angles, and other unpleasant side-effects can be possible.
Another important consideration against the cosmetic penile enhancement surgery is the possibility of mistakes and adverse side effects, which lead to necessity of additional correction operations to address the deformities caused by the original procedure. So, instead of one operation a patient has to undergo two of them – and they all are quite expensive.
Many patients complain of persistent pain, impotence, and urinary incontinence; other adverse side effects of this type of surgery include scarring, fat clumps, low-hanging penis, and loss of sensitivity, bumps and lumps.
The conclusion is obvious – do not try to fix what isn't broken. You should worry about your penis enlargement only in one case – if your sexual partner or partners makes it obvious that something is wrong with your love-making.
What is really important for improvement of your sexual relationship and better love-making is to spare additional time to understand what your partner actually needs and likes on both physical and emotional levels, what are her desires. In this way you will not need any penis enlargement in order to greatly change your sexual relationship for better.
The idea that small penis does not deliver is a pure myth. It has been proved that an understanding and loving partner is exactly what the majority of women are looking for in bed, much more than a penis of an impressive size. Surely, every rule has its exceptions but exceptions are not a serious reason to get distressed about your penis size.
