u/CuriousGuy22 · 410 upvotes · 6 days ago
Is penis enlargement actually possible, or is it all scams? I see ads everywhere, but I’m not sure what’s real.
u/ScienceBro · 245 upvotes · 6 days ago
Surgery works, but it’s risky and expensive. Most pills are worthless. Traction devices and pumps give small, gradual results, but don’t expect miracles.
u/RealTalk88 · 160 upvotes · 6 days ago
Exactly. If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Only traction and pumping have any real studies behind them.
u/SizeMatters · 365 upvotes · 5 days ago
I’ve been using an extender for about 7 months. Gained a little under an inch in stretched length. Slow but noticeable.
u/PatiencePays · 210 upvotes · 5 days ago
That’s the catch. You need consistency. Wear time adds up — think 4 to 6 hours daily. Most guys quit before they see results.
u/NotForEveryone · 140 upvotes · 5 days ago
And that’s why it’s not popular. It’s boring and takes forever. But for people who stick with it, results happen.
u/PumpUser · 340 upvotes · 5 days ago
Tried a vacuum pump for a year. Didn’t grow huge, but my erections got way harder. My partner actually noticed more girth during sex.
u/AgreeingVoice · 195 upvotes · 5 days ago
Same here. Pumps are more about performance than size. You get that temporary “pump plump,” and over time, maybe modest girth gains.
u/ScienceNerd · 130 upvotes · 5 days ago
Doctors even prescribe them for erectile dysfunction. They’re legit, just not miracle growth machines.
u/JelqExperiment · 320 upvotes · 4 days ago
Anyone here try jelqing? I see mixed opinions. Some say it works, others say it’s dangerous.
u/TriedItOnce · 180 upvotes · 4 days ago
I tried it for a few months. Felt like I got better blood flow, but no major growth. Risk of injury scared me off.
u/SkepticHere · 125 upvotes · 4 days ago
Same. Maybe it conditions tissue, but most of the “success stories” are exaggerated.
u/PartnerPerspective · 295 upvotes · 4 days ago
From a woman’s point of view: size matters less than confidence. My ex obsessed over enlargement, but honestly, I preferred when he was relaxed and focused on connection.
u/SupportiveGF · 175 upvotes · 4 days ago
Thank you for saying this. A lot of guys stress about inches when their partners don’t care nearly as much as they think.
u/BedroomTruth · 120 upvotes · 4 days ago
Exactly. If you use enlargement tools, do it for yourself — not because you think every woman is judging you.
u/SmallButCurious · 390 upvotes · 6 days ago
Has anyone here actually seen permanent results from enlargement methods? Or is it just hype from people selling stuff?
u/ExtenderVet · 240 upvotes · 6 days ago
I used a traction extender daily for almost a year. Gained about 0.75 inches in stretched length. Took forever, but it stuck.
u/SlowAndSteady · 165 upvotes · 6 days ago
Same. It’s not magic. Think of it like orthodontics — steady tension changes tissue over time. But it takes discipline.
u/PumpLife · 355 upvotes · 5 days ago
Been pumping for a while. Temporary swell is fun, but I swear my girth is thicker now even without the pump. Partner noticed too.
u/PerformanceBoost · 210 upvotes · 5 days ago
I think that’s the biggest benefit. Even if you don’t grow huge, pumps make erections harder, which makes you feel and look bigger.
u/RealisticTake · 135 upvotes · 5 days ago
Exactly. Pumps are more about function than inches. But hey, thicker veins and a harder look aren’t bad side effects.
u/JelqQuestion · 330 upvotes · 5 days ago
Does jelqing actually do anything, or is it just an old internet myth?
u/TriedAndQuit · 185 upvotes · 5 days ago
I tried for a couple months. Honestly, I didn’t see much change. Felt like a workout for my junk but not worth the risk.
u/HeardBothSides · 120 upvotes · 5 days ago
Some claim results, but medical pros usually say it’s risky and unproven. Safer to stick with devices that have studies behind them.
u/SurgeryOption · 310 upvotes · 4 days ago
Anyone here actually go under the knife for enlargement surgery? I keep seeing clinics advertise lengthening and girth implants.
u/TriedSurgery · 200 upvotes · 4 days ago
I did ligament release surgery. Gained about an inch when flaccid, but erect length didn’t change much. Cost me $7k and left a scar.
u/NoThanks · 145 upvotes · 4 days ago
That’s what scared me off. High cost, risky, and doesn’t always deliver. Extenders are cheaper, just slower.
u/PartnerVoice · 280 upvotes · 4 days ago
As a partner, I’ll add this: some women do notice size changes, but attitude matters more. My boyfriend gained maybe half an inch, but his confidence was the real improvement.
u/AgreeingUser · 165 upvotes · 4 days ago
True. Confidence is huge. I started PE to add length but ended up more secure in myself. That’s what my girlfriend liked most.
u/FirstTimePoster · 370 upvotes · 6 days ago
I’m thinking about trying an extender. Ads promise inches, but is it really worth wearing a device for hours every day?
u/LongHaulUser · 230 upvotes · 6 days ago
I wore one for 8 months, 5 hours a day. Gained just under an inch. Not life-changing, but real. It’s a grind, though.
u/NotPatientEnough · 150 upvotes · 6 days ago
Tried the same, gave up after 3 weeks. Couldn’t handle the routine. Definitely not for everyone.
u/PumpExperiment · 345 upvotes · 5 days ago
I bought a pump kit online. At first, I thought it was snake oil, but my erections got harder and fuller. Even looked thicker right after.
u/HappyWithIt · 200 upvotes · 5 days ago
Same story here. Partner noticed I stayed hard longer. Even if it’s not permanent size, it’s still a win.
u/SafetyTips · 130 upvotes · 5 days ago
Just don’t overdo it. Too much suction can cause bruising. Moderation matters.
u/JelqCurious · 320 upvotes · 5 days ago
What’s the real deal with jelqing? Some swear by it, others say it’s dangerous nonsense.
u/DidItForMonths · 185 upvotes · 5 days ago
I tried for 6 months. Maybe tiny girth changes, but it was hard to tell. Stopped because I was worried about long-term damage.
u/NotWorthIt · 120 upvotes · 5 days ago
Same. Too much risk for little gain. Better to use extenders or pumps where at least there’s some medical backing.
u/ThinkingSurgery · 300 upvotes · 4 days ago
What about fat injections or girth implants? Anyone here actually done it?
u/TriedFillers · 190 upvotes · 4 days ago
I had fat transfer done. Looked bigger at first, but a lot of it reabsorbed in a year. Ended up lumpy. Regret it.
u/HeardStories · 135 upvotes · 4 days ago
Yeah, fillers and fat injections are hit or miss. Risk of uneven results is high. Surgery isn’t the easy answer people think.
u/PartnerOpinion · 280 upvotes · 4 days ago
As someone who’s dated guys obsessed with enlargement, I’ll say this: the best lovers weren’t the biggest ones, they were the most confident ones.
u/ConfidenceWins · 160 upvotes · 4 days ago
Couldn’t agree more. My girlfriend told me she cared way less about length than about how secure I was in bed.
u/BalanceMatters · 115 upvotes · 4 days ago
That’s why I keep reminding myself: do PE for yourself, not because you think size alone will make you great in bed.
u/CuriousStarter · 360 upvotes · 6 days ago
Do enlargement routines really add size, or is it all just swelling that goes away after a few hours?
u/ExtenderGuy · 225 upvotes · 6 days ago
Extenders give permanent length if you’re consistent. It’s like braces for your teeth — steady traction works, but it takes months.
u/SkepticalHere · 150 upvotes · 6 days ago
I used one for 4 months and quit. Too slow. Probably works, but most people won’t stick with it.
u/PumpLife · 335 upvotes · 5 days ago
I love my pump. Even if I never grow permanently, the temporary swell makes sex better. Partner notices the difference right after.
u/PartnerApproved · 200 upvotes · 5 days ago
Same here. My wife calls it the “after-pump effect.” Extra girth might not last forever, but it’s fun while it does.
u/SafetyReminder · 130 upvotes · 5 days ago
Just don’t go crazy with pressure. I overdid it once and got bruises that lasted a week.
u/JelqVeteran · 320 upvotes · 5 days ago
I did jelqing for years. Did it give me a monster size? No. But I do think it improved circulation and helped me last longer.
u/NotImpressed · 185 upvotes · 5 days ago
Tried the same. Maybe a little girth, but not worth the time. Too much risk for too little payoff.
u/BalanceView · 120 upvotes · 5 days ago
I think jelqing’s biggest effect is confidence. Guys feel like they’re doing something, which makes them perform better mentally.
u/ThinkingSurgery · 295 upvotes · 4 days ago
Anyone looked into ligament cutting surgery? Supposedly makes you longer when flaccid, but not much change erect.
u/DidItOnce · 190 upvotes · 4 days ago
I had it done 3 years ago. Flaccid looks longer, but erect size barely changed. Spent $6k. Not really worth it for me.
u/NoWay · 135 upvotes · 4 days ago
That’s why I stayed away. High risk, high cost, and limited gains. I’ll stick with extenders.
u/PartnerView · 285 upvotes · 4 days ago
As a woman, I can say most of us care more about how you use what you’ve got. My ex obsessed over every millimeter, but his insecurity was worse than his size.
u/TruthHurts · 165 upvotes · 4 days ago
Exactly. Obsessing over size makes you seem less confident. Work on skills and attitude, not just the ruler.
u/SupportiveVoice · 120 upvotes · 4 days ago
Couldn’t agree more. Enlargement is fine if you want it, but don’t think it’s the only thing that matters in bed.
u/ResultsWanted · 375 upvotes · 1 week ago
Is anyone here actually happy with their enlargement results long-term, or is it mostly frustration?
u/ExtenderWin · 240 upvotes · 1 week ago
I’m satisfied. Used an extender for over a year, gained close to an inch. Took patience, but it was permanent. Totally worth it for me.
u/NoPatience · 155 upvotes · 1 week ago
I couldn’t stick with it. Wore mine for a month and gave up. Maybe works if you’re consistent, but it wasn’t realistic for me.
u/PumpGuy · 345 upvotes · 6 days ago
Pumps don’t make you a giant, but they’re awesome for performance. My erections are harder, and my partner says sex feels better.
u/HappyPartner · 210 upvotes · 6 days ago
Same. My wife doesn’t care if I gained half an inch or not. She cares that I can last longer and stay fully hard.
u/PracticalView · 140 upvotes · 6 days ago
That’s really the point. Pumps improve function. Extra girth is just a nice bonus.
u/JelqDabbler · 330 upvotes · 6 days ago
I tried jelqing off and on. Never stuck with it long enough to see results. Does anyone actually have success with it?
u/OldHand · 185 upvotes · 6 days ago
Did it for years. Best I can say is it improved circulation and sensitivity. Didn’t add major size, but sex felt better.
u/SkepticGuy · 125 upvotes · 6 days ago
Same here. Maybe minor girth change, but not worth the hype. Risk is higher than the reward in my opinion.
u/SurgeryTales · 310 upvotes · 5 days ago
I went for fat transfer surgery. Looked thicker for a while, but most of it got reabsorbed within a year. Now it’s uneven. Regret it.
u/RegretFree · 190 upvotes · 5 days ago
I did ligament surgery instead. Gave me extra flaccid length, but not much erect change. Not terrible, but not worth the money either.
u/StayAway · 130 upvotes · 5 days ago
Seems like surgery is mostly disappointment unless you’re willing to take big risks for small gains.
u/PartnerOpinion · 295 upvotes · 5 days ago
From my experience as a woman, confidence and technique mattered more than size. Enlargement gave my ex a slight boost, but his confidence boost mattered more.
u/AgreeingVoice · 170 upvotes · 5 days ago
Couldn’t agree more. A guy who’s secure is way more attractive than one who’s constantly worried about measuring up.
u/FinalThoughts · 120 upvotes · 5 days ago
That’s the takeaway. Enlargement can help a little, but mindset and performance matter most.
