It is incredibly tempting. A pill that grows the penis a few inches — permanently — has to be one of the most enticing ideas on the planet.
Nevertheless, is it possible? Do those sketchy penis enlargement pills ever work?
If they do, why? Moreover, have their been studies?
Taking a deep dive into the question, this article examines if there is anything that can stimulate permanent penis growth.
Can Penis Enlargement Pills Grow the Penis Permanently?
Science has yet to discover any compounds or miracle drugs that physically grow the penis. There are no drugs recognized by the FDA to permanently increase the size of say a flaccid penis, however:
Some pills do improve men’s satisfaction with their erection or size.
- These have been around since 1998,
- Governmentally approved,
- Have peer-reviewed studies testing the effectiveness
The penis can not be permanently grown after it has reached maturity; however, there are aids to make it as big as possible. More below.
Are There Pills That Can Make Your Penis Bigger Temporarily?
Taking a pill to get a permanently bigger penis may be a pipe dream, but there are techniques to increase size and appearance for the short term. Better yet, there is substantial evidence from the FDA to support it.
The idea is to make the penis as hard as possible. A penis filled to its threshold for blood will be as long and thick as it will ever be.
Very few men achieve maximum hardness in any sexual encounter. That means they can be more significant than they are – they are just not reaching their full size.
The idea is this: No pill can make someone taller, but standing up straight can add inches to their height and reveal hight that was not there before.
Hardness is more important than size for most women anyway. Not only does it feel better, but it demonstrates how turned on someone is by them. The emotional impact of this perceived desire is very important for women’s satisfaction.
So What Should You Take to Get Bigger Temporarily?
The best thing one can take to get harder is Viagra. It is no hidden gem, but there is a reason why Viagra was such a breakthrough drug: it is one of the only drugs approved and confirmed to improve men’s sexual satisfaction.
Viagra can make the penis rock-hard — harder than it has ever been potentially. The growing power of a strong erection improves length and girth.
Being potentially the only real treatment to such a prevalent problem, Viagra has a reputation for being very expensive (60$ per pill). The Price has been going down in recent years after Viagra lost its patten on Sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra.
Services like Bluechew offer generic Viagra at prices closer to 3$ for the same 20 mg Sildenafil dose.
To make an erect penis as hard (and as big) as possible, try a low dose of Viagra or another nitrate-based drug. Call your doctor or apply and order online from a generic Viagra provider like Bluechew).
Viagra is one of the few pharmaceutical options on the market, but there are plenty of over-the-counter dick enlargement pills that promise to help pack a little more size downstairs.
Do they really work? Let us find out.
Extenze
Extenze is one of the most famous penis enlargement pills out there. It has been around for years — and men have been taking it for just as long, hoping to see a difference.
Rather than using pharmaceutical ingredients, Extenze relies on a herbal formula. The idea behind it is seemingly to throw as many supposedly libido-enhancing herbs into a single pill and hope something works.
Extenze Ingredients include;
- Folate
- Zinc
- Yohimbe extract
- DHEA
- Stinging nettle
- L-arginine
- Horny goat weed
- Velvet deer antler
That is just the tip of the iceberg. All in all, we counted 41 ingredients in each pill.
That is a lot to put in the body at once. All those ingredients increase the risk of side effects, so one may need to consult a doctor if they are already on a lot of medication.
What Does Extenze Do — and Does It Work?
Extenze claims that it can make the penis bigger — temporarily, at least. In fact, the company used to claim it would make the penis 27% bigger for a short time.
Why did they stop making that claim? Because in 2010, they settled a class-action lawsuit for $6 million because they could not prove that it increased size.
There is little proof that Extenze will do anything — except lighten the wallet.
VigRX Plus
VigRX Plus is not as well-known as Extenze, but it is attempting to follow its footsteps.
It also boasts an herbal cocktail designed to temporarily increase penis size. However, VigRX Plus uses a few different ingredients, like:
- Damiana
- Epimedium leaf extract
- Catuaba bark extract
- Saw palmetto
- Gingko Biloba
There are other ingredients as well, but not quite as many as would be found in Extenze. As a result, the body is probably more likely to tolerate VigRX Plus than it is Extenze.
What Does VigRX Do —and Does It Work?
It would appear that VigRX Plus has learned from Extenze’s mistakes, as they do not make any quantifiable claims on their website.
Instead, there are vague claims about increasing sexual satisfaction, increasing the quality of erections, and increasing the ability to penetrate a partner.
To back up their non-specific claims, they include the results of a clinical study that they funded to examine their product. The results were impressive — but the study was flawed, to say the least.
The biggest problem is that it used young men with only sporadic erectile dysfunction issues. While we are glad it seemed to help them, it is not a huge accomplishment to give young men a boner.
Still, there is not enough here for us to say it does not work — but we would not count on it.
What Are Other Penis Enlargement Methods?
Of course, there are other tricks besides pills that promise to increase penis size. While we do not have time to go into every single one of them here (seriously, there are many), here are some of the bigger ones:
Penis Pumps
These devices have long plastic tubes that fit over the penis. There is a pump at the other end, and as it is pumped, the vacumm draws blood into the shaft, giving the user a fully erect penis.
They are good at creating erections, especially for men with erectile dysfunction. Like Viagra, they help make the penis bigger by making it harder.
However, no matter what the manufacturer says, it is not a miracle penis enlarger. The effects on penis size are only temporary — they last only as long as the erection lasts.
Generally speaking, a vacuum pump is about as effective as Viagra. However,they have to be used right before sex, and excusing yourself to pump up a flaccid penis may put a damper on the mood.
Penis Enlargement Surgery
There is a penis enlargement surgery available in the US that’s capable of adding an inch or two to most penises. It is called Penuma, and currently, it is the only way to permanently increase penis size.
It is a silicone implant that gets inserted into the shaft, making both the erect and flaccid penis harder and wider.
While it is a permanent solution, it is not a cheap one — it costs $15,000. There are only two doctors who are approved to perform penis enlargement surgery in the United States.
Also, there is the little matter of having surgery on a very sensitive body part. While this penis enlargement surgery is FDA-approved, that does not mean it is guaranteed not to have side effects.
If someone is concerned enough about the size of thier penis to spend $15,000 enlarging it, Penuma is the way to go. It may be overkill, however.
What Other Enlargement Methods Are There?
If someone does not want to take pills, buy strange contraptions, or go under the knife, there is at least one other option. It is not sexy — but it just might make the buyer sexy.
We are talking about losing weight.
When someone is overweight, they have a pad of fat at the bottom of the belly that covers up some of the penis. These people can gain an inch of penis size for every 30-50 pounds lost.
Now, this does not make thier penis bigger. Nevertheless, it does reveal some of the size that had previously been hidden, allowing some to obese people to use it for the first time in ages.
Not only that, but losing weight also improves the blood flow in the arteries. This improves how hard a person can get — and we have already seen how that can make the penis bigger.
Of course, there is also the little matter of having the body look and feel better, too. If you lose weight and get in better shape, not only will your penis be bigger, but you will probably get more opportunities to use it, too.
What is the Verdict, What Works?
Taking a male enhancement pill and have a permanently bigger dick, will have to have to wait to be figured out by science. Right now, it is just not possible. The only way to increase the size for good is to subject oneself to expensive enlargement surgery.
However, there are ways to make the penis bigger temporarily. Viagra is probably the easiest and most effective method, but one can also use a penis pump or drop a few pounds.
Chances are, though, that the best thing men can do is learn how to be happy with their penis size — and figure out how to make someone else happy with it, too.
