Should you be worried?
Well, not at all! This is completely one’s personal choice and preference; unless he is getting intimidated by his partner. When erect, the average length or average penis size is around 13 to 18 cm i,e 5 to 7 inches. However, it is completely normal for a penis to be longer or shorter than this measurement.
Popular ways of Increasing the Size of Penis
The following are some of the more popular penis enlargement methods available:
- Penis pumps devices that use suction to draw blood into the penis, engorging the blood vessels in your penis so it gets temporarily harder and bigger.
- Putting on a cock ring can help the blood remain in your penis longer. Both are typically considered safe when used correctly.
- Traction devices or Penile traction devices are most useful for correcting curvatures and deformities of the penis, but they may provide a small, temporary increase in size.
- Stretching exercises like jelqing, use massage to manipulate the tissues and skin of the penis. This creates micro tears, that when healed, look engorged and make the penis bigger and thicker.
- Surgery and hormone treatments are the only options that can achieve a permanent increase in size.
Note: Unless you have a diagnosable condition or your penis measures less than 1.5 inches flaccid or 3 inches erect, most clinicians won’t recommend penis enlargement treatment.
