An overwhelmingly large number of men are concerned about the size of their penis even though what they have is more than enough for them to be great in bed. When it comes to size of the penis, The Bigger the Better is the popular belief. At times, this obsession with size can come in the way of sexual performance.

Surgery to increase penis size

Penile stretchers

• Penile ‘stretchers’ are small rectangular frames that need to be worn on the penis on a regular basis. They work by pulling your organ to its maximum length, and gradually make them stay that way forever
• No one can make out that you are wearing a stretcher but the extent to which they help is limited. Some men have had increase in length of up to 2 cm.
