Penis enlarging through the ages.

Many people mistakenly hold the belief that the modern interest in penis enlargement is due to cultural changes in human sexuality.

They think that, due to the heightened sexual nature of our society, that men have recently developed a vanity about their bodies.

However, this is entirely false. It is true that, nowadays, our culture is more intensely sexual, but penis enlargement is by no means a new idea.

Penis enlarging : as old as man

Even when you look as far back as Ancient Greece, you will see that the male genitalia were treated carefully and respectfully.

Although the Ancient Greeks preferred the look of small genitalia, they still wanted to ensure they stayed healthy. Their impeccable, refined taste led to their culture finding the look of small penises very attractive.

Young men would exercise naked (oh my god...), and in order to protect their genitals, would stretch the prepuce over the glans and tie it at the base of the penis with a ribbon.

In Africa, we like low hanging stuff

Around 2000 years ago, weight hanging became a popular practice amongst certain African tribes. It can even be traced back to Ancient Egypt, where the pharaohs would use this technique to lengthen the penis and enhance sexual pleasure.

Weight hanging is a simple practice, involving hanging differing weights at the penis end in order to stretch and lengthen the penile shaft over time.

Although this technique is effective in increasing penis length, it also causes the girth to be diminished. Moreover, this practice causes the blood to not circulate as effectively, therefore depriving the penis cells of oxygen that is necessary to their health and ultimately their survival.

Exercises or herbs ?

Less drastic and much safer methods of enhancing the male genitalia were also developed in ancient times. Penile exercises were one technique, and the other was the application or ingestion of herbal aphrodisiacs.

Ginseng and yohimbe are among many herbal remedies available through Chinese herbal medicine; both are still used to this day for the purposes of increasing penis size and firing up the libido.

Pills, patches and topical oils that are developed in the present day include one of these herbs or a mixture of the two, in order to achieve painless and natural penile growth.

As well as treating these sexual conditions, these herbs are well known for the prevention or treatment of diseases such as diabetes, tuberculosis, kidney disease and heart disease.

Exercises for Arab boys

Ancient Arabic civilisations also placed a lot of importance on the size of the male genitalia. When young Arab boys were coming of age, they were taught Jelq, a penile exercise. This involved regular and rhythmic massage of the penis whilst semi-erect, causing improved blood pressure in the shaft.

And a pump for Otto

Finally, an Austrian named Otto Ledever invented the penis enlargement pump in the early 20 th century. This marked the beginning of the modern-day equipment use in this field of cosmetic enhancement.

Basically explained, penis pumps create a vacuum which makes the penile tissue cells fill with blood. Sustained use of these devices have been shown to have lasting results.

These techniques are still used today, in various different forms. Knowing the history of various penis enlargement techniques is important for gaining perspective on each method’s background. With this in mind, men will be able to select a penis enhancement technique that suits their needs most appropriately.
