Penis enlargement devices have become increasingly popular in recent years and while many websites boast glorious testimonials and “success” stories, the results I personally experienced have been less than desirable.

Many brands exist, and all are center around basically the same concept. To be honest, their reasoning is fairly sound, but in order to understand how real enlargement works you need to know a bit about how the penis works.

First of all, you should know that the penis consists of three chambers, each of which fills with blood during sexual excitement and, once filled, determines your maximum penis size. This is important because these chambers are made up of a spongy tissue that is similar in makeup to muscle tissue.

This is important because anyone who knows much about muscle building knows that muscle tissue responds to new stresses and stimulants (like exercise) by enlarging over time and growing back larger than they previously were.

The developers of every penis enlargement device know this and it is the main principle they work upon because a gentle pressure over a long period of time can elicit some penis growth. The problem, however, is two fold.

First of all, these devices can only stretch in one direction. Who wants a penis that is long but extremely skinny? In fact most women will tell you that a thicker penis is more important to satisfying them than a long penis.

The second problem is that the tissues affected by a penis enlargement device are not very targeted, they can only target one set of tissues and in the long run don't offer much overall growth. What's worse, is that the flashy websites they develop wouldn't tell you these things and every single day thousands of men throw away $150, $200, or even $300 on useless pieces of metal!

Can anything work? In my experience, penis exercises were the most effective means of enlargement simply because they worked on the same principles as stretchers and devices (growing tissue over time) except that you have more direct control over your gains and how fast you grow.

These exercises generally require 10-20 minutes per day and involve using the hand to manipulate the tissues and ligaments of the penis.

Wanna know more? I started getting bigger by following a guided exercise program known as “The Penis Advantage” and had gained nearly an inch within my first 5 weeks by remaining dedicated and following the simple guide they gave me for each day.

You can find everything you need to know including a full review of this program in my Penis Advantage Review.
