The History Of Penis Enlargement

Penis enlargement is not exactly a new thing. It has been around for centuries, in one form or another. The difference is that, today, thousands of men resort to penis enlargement products or services, especially since modern science has done a good job proving and disproving some of the traditional techniques, as well as allowing for a better approach.

Cave drawings from 440 BC show kings with huge penises blessing their towns. While Egyptian wall paintings feature Geb, the God of Creation/Earth, who was often shown with a large erect penis pointing upwards.

Around two thousand years ago, the practice of weight hanging began to gain popularity in several tribes in Africa. It has also been said that this practice goes as far back as ancient Egypt, where the pharaohs used it to increase their sexual enjoyment. Weight hanging simply means hanging devices at the penis' end that grips the glans or just behind the glans in order stretch the tissues that comprise the penis shaft. While this technique has been proven to be effective in lengthening the penis, it also resulted in diminished girth. It has also been shown to result in inadequate blood circulation within the penis cells, depriving them of their much needed supply of oxygen and other nutrients necessary for their survival. These days weight hanging is not recommended.

Other methods of penis enlargement were also developed in ancient times. One is the application or ingestion of herbal aphrodisiacs. The vast selection of treatments offered by Chinese herbal medicine included (amongst other) ginseng and yohimbe, which are still used today to improve penile dimensions and increase the sexual appetite. Pills, patches and topical oils which are used now contain one or a mixture of these herbs to achieve natural and painless penile enhancement.

In ancient Arabic civilizations young Arab boys were given lessons in the penile exercise called Jelq, in order to make the penis bigger and prepare their sons for sexual relationships. The Jelq involves massaging the semi-erect penis in a rhythmic and regular manner, which enhances blood pressure within the shaft. The effect of this technique appears in approximately a month, provided that it is done regularly and correctly.

More recently the penis enlargement pump, more usually described as a vacuum pump, was invented by an Austrian called Otto Ledever in the early 20th Century. This was the beginning of modern equipment to be used in this area of cosmetic treatment. The penis pump basically creates a vacuum and causes the cells to swell with blood. With prolonged use, this technique was shown to have more lasting results.
