&lt;p&gt;How To Increase Penis Size&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span role=&quot;text&quot;&gt;Penis Size&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Men everywhere worry that their penis&amp;nbsp;is smaller than it&amp;nbsp;should be or that it won&#39;t satisfy a lover. But research suggests that most men underestimate the size of their pride and joy.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A man has always placed great importance on the size of his penis. Many cultures associate penis size with masculinity. Throughout the ages, it has come to symbolise qualities such as virility, fertility, strength, ability, and courage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some men go to extreme lengths to try to increase the size of their penis. Indian mystics known as Sadhus have been known to stretch their penis from an early age by hanging weights on it, while&amp;nbsp;the Topinama tribesmen of Brazil encouraged poisonous snakes to bite their penis to enlarge it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Feeling inadequate can really damage a man&#39;s self-confidence and affect his social life. It can lead to issues ranging from being unable to use public urinals or&amp;nbsp;shared shower rooms, to avoiding intimate relationships.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Companies around the world have exploited this anxiety, selling pills, penis extenders, and other&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/vacuum-therapy-device-medical-penis-pump&quot;&gt;penis enlargement products&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that promise to &quot;increase the length and girth of your manhood fast, or your money back!&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/section&gt;
&lt;section&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Measuring your&amp;nbsp;penis&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most men&#39;s view about their penis is formed during childhood. Growing up, they may see the penis of an older brother, friend or their father and mentally compare this to their own.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fears and anxiety about penis size may also arise after taunts from other people during adolescence or following remarks from a sexual partner.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, men often have the wrong perspective on their penis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To see your penis as other people would, look at yourself undressed in front of a full-length mirror. The penis looks longer and larger than when observed from above.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At some stage, most boys get out a ruler or a tape measure to find out how long their penis is. There&#39;s little point in doing this when the penis is limp because the length of a flaccid penis can vary a lot, for example depending on how cold the room is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To get a precise measurement, do it when you have an erection. It is standard to measure the penis&amp;nbsp;on the top side, from the base&amp;nbsp;to the tip.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/section&gt;
&lt;section&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Average penis size&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are no average length figures for teenagers because people grow at different rates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most men&#39;s penises are somewhere around 9cm (3.75in) long when not erect, but it&#39;s normal for them to be shorter or longer than this. Some things can make your penis temporarily smaller, such as swimming or being cold.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Research has found the average erect penis size varies from around 13cm to 18cm (5in to 7in). You cannot make your penis larger or smaller with exercises or medication.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is large variation in the angle of an erect penis. Some erect penises point straight up, others straight down. Some have a slight bend to the left or right. There is no right shape. If you have a more significant bend in your penis that may cause you pain or difficulty having sex, see your GP. Sometimes, these can be symptoms of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/875.aspx?CategoryID=61&amp;amp;SubCategoryID=616&quot;&gt;Peyronie&#39;s disease&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each penis is unique and boys develop at different ages and rates. During puberty, usually between the ages&amp;nbsp;of&amp;nbsp;11 and 18,&amp;nbsp;the penis and testicles develop more rapidly, although the penis doesn&#39;t stop growing until the age of 21.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/section&gt;
&lt;section&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Men unsatisfied&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regardless of actual size, many men&amp;nbsp;are still&amp;nbsp;unhappy with the size of their manhood.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A&amp;nbsp;study based on&amp;nbsp;the results of an internet-based survey of more than 50,000 men and women revealed that 45% of men would like a larger penis.&amp;nbsp;The&amp;nbsp;report by Professor&amp;nbsp;Kevan Wylie, a consultant in sexual medicine at the University of Sheffield,&amp;nbsp;concluded that excessive concerns about penis size were higher among men with average-sized penises than men with small ones.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/section&gt;
&lt;section&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;What women think&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Professor Wylie&#39;s&amp;nbsp;report also found differences between what women and men think. A much higher percentage of women (85%) were satisﬁed with their partner&#39;s penis size than the percentage of men (55%) who were satisﬁed with their own penis size.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to Professor&amp;nbsp;Wylie, the issue of attractiveness to women is complex.&amp;nbsp;However, most studies suggest that penis size is much lower down the list of priorities for women than such issues as a man&#39;s personality and grooming.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Professor&amp;nbsp;Wylie says: &quot;It may come as a surprise to some young men, but most women have very little interest in the size of their penis and that&#39;s been shown in numerous studies over time.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He says research shows that when it comes to sex, women are much more interested in whether you are romantic, tender and sensitive to their needs and desires than your penis size.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/section&gt;
&lt;section&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;If you&#39;re still worried&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Counselling has proven to be beneficial for men with penis anxiety. Therapy helps patients identify and correct any distorted views about their penis, build self-confidence and overcome fears about sexual relationships.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Professor&amp;nbsp;Wylie says: &quot;Therapy allows these men to overcome their anxiety about meeting a potential partner, where before they wouldn&#39;t even dare engage because of their fear.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Numerous&amp;nbsp;physical treatments claim to increase penis size, but there is very&amp;nbsp;little evidence that these work.
