Why Penis Pills Don't Work - The Truth Revealed
One thing that never fails to amaze me is the number of websites that still try to con men into believing that a pill can help them to effortlessly increase their penile size.
No doubt you’ve come across at least one of the near countless ‘review’ sites dedicated to the subject, which all use the all too familiar 5 star rating formula: a nice graphic touch to quickly show you how xxx pill will beef up your little buddy by 3 – 4 inches, whilst the other pills in the reviewer’s line up will only manage to give you a measly inch (or maybe two) at a push.
Of course, it’s all hype – an easy sell based on the immutable fact that there are a lot of men out there who are actively looking to be convinced of an implausible dream – and their desperation for a ‘quick fix’ to their penis size anxieties makes them easy marketing targets for the fake 5 star review brigade.
So what’s the truth?
Are penis pills a complete and utter con or is there a shred of substance to the claims?
Let’s make one thing clear from the start (OK…4 paragraphs in from the start) there’s no supplement currently available, pharmaceutical or otherwise, that will initiate some kind of second puberty that’ll have your dick effortlessly sprouting like a runner bean. If an individual ever does figure that one out, they’ll be wealthier than Bill Gates and the Sultan of Brunei combined – and Ron Jeremy will be out of a job.
So, if you wanted a definitive answer to the question ‘do penis enlargement pills work?’ then there it is – your quest for the truth is at an end.
The Complete Picture...
But it would be short-sighted and incorrect to mark that as the end of the story - because although penis pills won’t offer you a single, all inclusive solution to developing the nob of your dreams, the better brands (of which I could count on the hand of someone you’d lost a couple of fingers in a freak vegetable chopping accident) do have their merits, which are still worth exploring.
To get the roots of how you might benefit from taking such a supplement, let’s take a look at the two primary physiological effects they have on the penis:
Firstly, they include ingredients that improve the blood flow to your penis. They achieve this by relaxing and widening blood vessels and arteries, which in turn helps them to carry blood more efficiently around the body (and of course to the penis).
Secondly, they’re designed to raise your testosterone levels, so that you’re randier than a goat in mating season.
These physiological effects aren’t a fallacy – they’re very real and easily achieved with the right combination of substances. Traditional anti-impotence remedies such as ginkgo, ginseng, muira puama, horny goat weed, L-arginine etc. etc. all possess these properties to a greater or lesser degree. Pharmaceutical ED medications again, exploit the same physiological processes.
The better penis pill brands simply maximize these two physiological effects through a careful combination of natural (as opposed to synthetic) ingredients – many of which I mentioned in the paragraph above – to produce a ‘Viagra like’ erection boosting effect.
So What Can You Really Expect From Penis Pills?
It's all in the blood flow...
As I mentioned above, one of the primary effects of these types of supplements is to increase the volume of blood entering the penis.
Now obviously, the amount of blood that’s supplied to your penis can have a tremendous effect on how the little fella sizes up – for better or for worse.
Take for example, the results of a study conducted by Boston University School of Medicine in 1998 that found out of a test group of 200 men, the smokers in the group had an average erect penis length of about ½ inch less than the non-smokers. Their habit, because it constricted the blood vessels feeding the penis, reduced the supply of blood - resulting in noticeably smaller erections.
But you don’t need the results of a study to understand the relationship between penile blood flow and erection size. You’ll know first hand how your erect penis size can dramatically alter depending on your state of sexual arousal.
The raging hard-on you get when you see the girl of your dreams strip to her panties for the first time, or the old ‘morning glory’ that turns your duvet into a tent when the alarm clock goes off each morning looks substantially bigger than those lacklustre erections you just manage to get up when you’re having sex with your long term girlfriend after a hard day at the office (no offence to long term girlfriends intended).
The interesting thing is that the penile arteries are particularly susceptible to any substance that has either a negative or positive effect on the circulatory system as a whole – simply because they’re much smaller than all the other arteries found in your body.
So anything that causes the arteries throughout the body to constrict is going to have a massively detrimental effect on the blood flow entering the penis and therefore, penile size – as illustrated by Boston School of Medicine’s study that proved that smokers have tiny ones.
On the other hand, a well balanced combination of ingredients that relax the arteries (such as those found in a well formulated penis pill) can keep your erections looking as statuesque as if Helena Christensen, Claudia Schiffer and Pamela Anderson (I know…I’m showing my age) had just popped around for a 4 some.
What’s more, the testosterone enhancing effects of the same supplements will further promote the effect, producing a double size improving whammy: So not only is your penis physically capable of receiving an increased volume of blood due to improvements in arterial function, but your sky rocketing testosterone levels takes advantage of the fact.
But this is not permanent penis enlargement…
Ok…so you’ve got your supply of super duper brand penis pills and after a week you’re pretty impressed with what you see – your erections look more pumped than Mr Olympia on competition day and holding a tape measure against the little guy, he’s at least ½ an inch (maybe even an inch at a push) larger in both erect length and girth. Maybe even the hard to please girlfriend seems to be doing a little more moaning and groaning than usual during your moments of intimacy.
Happy days most definitely…but like most good things in life, enjoy them while you can.
Once you pop the last pill in your supply things are going to diminish pretty quickly back to their original state. Your dilated penile arteries are going to constrict back to their normal diameter and your testosterone levels are going to fall back to their pre-pill state – and alas you’ll be Mr Average once again.
Of course, you could argue that the experience was worth the investment…and you might decide to buy some more. And that’s fine…as long as you’re aware that the effects won’t be permanent.
But if your penis size is a real issue to you and you’re searching for a genuine solution to the problem, then don’t be fooled by the hype surrounding penis pills or the review sites that promise you results – because you’ll be setting yourself up for disappointment.
A Real Solution...
Whilst it is possible to enlarge your penis without having to resort to surgery, it’ll take you a little more determination than popping a couple of pills a day.
Consider instead the use of a penile stretching device – these have built up quite a dossier of supporting medical evidence in recent years. Alternatively, there’s the option of jelqing and stretching exercises – they’ll take some time to master and quite a bit of commitment to keep up – but many men have found them to be well worth the effort. Both these methods can transform the size of your penis in just a few months – and the fact that it’ll take you a little bit of effort to realise your goals will ultimately make you appreciate the results that much more.
