This
online kit has discussed the male genitalia from anatomy
to function
to disease.
It has also enabled you to measure and compare your erection
to the population. The knowledge of how you measure
up may be pleasing or distressful to you. We at AfraidToAsk.com
understand the need of many men to compare themselves to
others, yet the scientific literature reports that penis
size is both unpredictable and unimportant. By medical
standards, any erect penis two inches or longer is considered
normal and adequate for reproductive purposes. In
the scope of our lives and relationships, penis size means
very little. We hope that this kit has allowed you
to recognize that your erection is most likely within average
limits, and normal.
For those of you who remain deeply unhappy with your penis,
there are a few techniques to change your size or shape.
The least expensive and easiest technique is too lose extra
body weight. Most overweight men store fat in their
lower abdomen just above where the penis is attached.
This fat literally hides a portion of the penis making the
overall length look smaller. It has been shown that
an overweight man losing 35 pounds, will gain an extra inch
of penis length! Other techniques can be used to increase
the power of an erection. Products such as suction
devices are discussed in the section on sexual
dysfunction. Penile
Augmentation Surgery (PAS) is another, much more drastic,
technique for increasing or changing ones penis size.

One
of the best resources for information is your own doctor.
He or she can give you valuable input on your genitalia
and whether there really is something wrong. To get
the doctor's input, however, you need to ask. Most
doctors are perfectly comfortable discussing this topic,
but won't initiate such a talk.
If
all else fails, pick up the Yellow Pages and look for a
urologist (under "Physicians"). These doctors
specialize in the genito-urinary tract (sex organs and urine
system). Many urologists either subspecialize in sexual
difficulties, or can refer you to a colleague who does.
Some options include suction appliances, hormonal and medicine
therapy, surgery, and prosthetics. But be careful,
if you call an unscrupulous doctor, they may want to treat
you whether or not it is needed. A link to a database of
urologists can be found at the American
Urological Association website.
We
hope you will have a fun and responsible time with your
genitalia.
