Penis Stretching Devices
While many different types of stretching devices for penis enlargement are on the market, most are actually medical phallic appliances utilized to promote tissue health following surgery. These devices are needed in rare cases in order to alleviate and correct scar/adhesion buildup. Other devices such as foreskin restoration device, Natural Foreskin Restorer 2000 (R2K) also have been demonstrated the ability to enlarge penis. But, in most cases, unless you’ve had penile surgery within the last 24-36 hours, you don’t need a stretching device.
Hanging weights from the penis has been practiced for over 2,000 years. Evidence of this belief continues in certain African tribes, where the penis isn’t the only thing that is stretched. Well-documented examples of such practices include the neck lengthening feats of the women of the Paduang tribe in Burma as well as the lip and earlobe stretching practices of certain African tribes. It has even been suggested that the pharaohs of ancient Egypt practiced a weight hanging method of penis enlargement. This technique has shown the ability to increase the length of the penis, however over a long period of time, the penis’s thickness will actually decrease. Also, depending on the hanging device, blood circulation also decreases, which can cause necrosis (death) of the tissue.
How It Works:
The use of weights and stretchers to enlarge the penis is based on the principle of tensile force and the body’s ability to adapt and change under such influence. Through the application of sustained and continuous tension, cells within an area subjected to such force divide and multiply, resulting in increased tissue mass.
Results:
Applying the above principle in an attempt to increase penile size can have some degree of success. In a study into the effectiveness of one particular device (the JES Extender), the results concluded that out of the 18 test subjects, erect penile length increased from an average of 11.2 cm to 13.9 cm (just under 1.25 inches) over an 18-week period. For the entire study period, the test subjects used the device for 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. Unfortunately, the study seems to have been concerned only with penile elongation and does not comment on the affects to penile girth. Whilst there is no doubt the JES Extender is completely safe when used correctly, the use of inferior devices or homemade solutions can potentially result in complications and physical damage. One of which is long-term reduction in blood circulation to the glans of the penis which can lead to infection and the possibility of gangrene. Ultimately, this can end in amputation. Clearly, this would be far from a positive result when such efforts had been made to enlarge the penis.
Whether penile stretching has any affect in promoting gains in penile girth is another debatable question. It seems probable that increases in length are accompanied by a slight reduction in circumference. However, according to a further study conducted into the effectiveness of another popular stretching device, The Penistretcher, nominal increases in penile girth ranging from 0.5 - 1 cm (less than 0.5 inches) are achievable through sustained use over a 3-6 month period.
Whilst it would seem that the use of such stretching devices can indeed result in increases in penile size (in particular length), it is also apparent that the process is extremely time consuming requiring use of the apparatus for periods of up to 12-hours a day over several months. Whether this is a practical solution when considering the demands of everyday life is difficult to say. But it would be hard to imagine working, sleeping and every day activities not getting in the way of a 12-hour dedication to stretching the penis.
