The Male Genitalia

In this site you will be able to find many scientific articles abour very different issues, all of them concerning the male genitalia, the penis, and most of them concerning penis enlargement, with it's advantages and disadvantages. Here are some of the issues treated in this site:

Penis enlargement

Many men are concerned with their penis size. Because of this, there are countless pages on the Internet and elsewhere that advertise various ways of enlarging a man's penis. These methods include surgery, drugs, supplements, pumps, and exercises. It is difficult to find solid scientific data concerning the validity of these claims, and the possible side-effects. This is partly because much of the science is so new that long term studies have not yet produced clear results. Another reason is that many of the scientists who are publishing results are hired by the companies that are selling these products.

Penis enlargement techniques

A quick review of how a penis is put together may clear up much of the confusion regarding penis enlargement. Enclosed in a case of skin, the penis is made of nerves, blood vessels, fibrous tissue, smooth muscle, and three cylindrical bodies of spongy tissue that fill with blood when a man has an erection. There is no bone, and there is some skeletal muscle at the base of the penis. Books and web sites advocate exercises practiced "since ancient times" to lengthen the penis. These exercises are exoticizations of basic masturbation techniques used by boys and men the world over that have no effect on penis size. "Jelq" is portrayed as an "Arabian" technique involving either wrapping the index finger and thumb around the base of the penis and pulling up, or just pinching the penis with the index finger and thumb and pulling up. "Jojido" is an "exotic Japanese" technique similar to Jelq. "Hyperestimiology" appears to be a made-up word and doesn't exist...

Bigger is not always better

Size apparently matters. If the Internet can be used as a gauge of the collective male psyche, plenty of men want abs of steel, more hair and a larger penis. Google, a popular search engine, recently retrieved 119,000 Web site matches for the term "penis enlargement." Many companies selling potions, pills and pumps promise everything from "three inches or more" to "stronger more toned sexual glands." Some diets even claim to increase the girth of the male sex organ. And many urologists perform an operation to enlarge the penis. But bigger may not be better. Men around the country have filed a flurry of lawsuits against doctors they say botched procedures, leaving them disfigured and in pain, and often with penises smaller than they started with. The Food and Drug Administration has received complaints about loosely regulated herbal supplements that promise increased size but don't deliver. And yet Internet message boards are filled with postings from men asking the same question: can the penis be made bigger, and if so, which way is best?...

Prostate Enlargement

As a man matures, the prostate goes through two main periods of growth. The first occurs early in puberty, when the prostate doubles in size. At around age 25, the gland begins to grow again. This second growth phase often results, years later, in BPH. Though the prostate continues to grow during most of a man's life, the enlargement doesn't usually cause problems until late in life. BPH rarely causes symptoms before age 40, but more than half of men in their sixties and as many as 90 percent in their seventies and eighties have some symptoms of BPH...

Testicular Failure

Causes of testicular failure include chromosomal abnormalities, testicular torsion, direct trauma to the testicles, diseases that affect the testicle (such as mumps, orchitis [inflammation of the testes], and testicular cancer ), and a variety of drugs. The condition is uncommon. Increased risk is linked to activities that may cause constant, low-level injury to the scrotum, such as riding a motorcycle. Frequent use of a drug known to affect testicular function, such as heavy marijuana use or some prescription medications, also increases the risk of testicular failure. Men who had undescended testicles at birth are at higher risk...
