Penis Size continued
As we have seen, the erect penis is always
larger than the limp penis, with regard both to length and girth. This is
why the veins and arteries of the limp penis are not straight, but look
something like a snake. The loops allow the veins and arteries to stretch
when erection takes place. The skin stretches also. Now, in order to
lengthen the penis, the
corpora cavernosa and the corpus
spongiosum would
have to be permanently stretched. Since they are sponge-like in structure,
one would think that this ought to be fairly easy to achieve. But
the tissue is extremely strong and it is very difficult to stretch it
permanently. It is very tough, too, and one would have to subject the
penis to very violent treatment indeed before one could do it any great
harm. Then in addition to the tissue itself being difficult to distort -
because this is what it amounts to - the tubes of the veins and arteries
are very tough. Though they can be stretched a little under constant
pressure, they quickly spring back to their normal length when released.
Even though it might be possible to stretch the tissue, the penis itself
would become no larger unless the veins and arteries were also stretched
permanently. If stretching does not occur, they are so numerous that they
prevent the tissue. from expanding.
However, despite all this, a search for
some means of enlarging the penis reveals this has long been an objective
of men. Certain African tribes apply weights to their penises to elongate
them. Rob Chrtham PhD reports about his experiments: Using weights in a
kind of harness, we began with a pound for half an hour a day, and
after a fortnight worked up to two pounds for half an hour. After three
weeks, only one of us had gained 1 inch; the others nothing. I made
up the recipe in Kama Sutra, which recommends boiling pomegranate seeds in
oil -
it was the only recipe for which we could obtain the ingredients-and
massaged the penis with the resultant
liquid. All acquired a temporary thickening and some a small increase in
length, but none above -L inch or so, after daily massage for an hour for
two months. The extra measurement disappeared in all within a fortnight of
stopping.
There were other experiments, none of which
were easy to perform and none of which gave any success at all. Finally,
however, about two years ago I had a cream made up which contained a
hormone ingredient. The penis was first treated with hot towels for ten
minutes and then
was massaged in
a certain way with the cream for half an
hour, followed by half an hour's dilation with a vacuum developer.
Out of seven of us, three acquired between
0.25 and 0.5 inches in length after three months' treatment, and about the
same increase in girth. This increase has remained permanent. The other
four had no increase of any kind, temporary or otherwise. Simultaneously
with this experiment, a second seven of my collaborators carried out
identical treatment, except that they used a skin cream for massage
instead of the special cream. Three reported increases of between 0.25 and
0.5 inch, one of 0.63 inch, which has remained permanent; the other three,
no increase at all. It is clear, therefore, that the hormone content of
the special cream had no effect whatsoever, and that ordinary cream works
just as well.
So it looks like a waste of time to try to enlarge the penis in any respect after a man has reached physical maturity
around the ages of twenty-one to twenty-four. At these ages it is just
possible to acquire enlargements in a good many cases of between .75 to
1.0 inches but this depends on the penis-structure of the individual.
After physical maturity, the increase of 0.5 inch seems to be the maximum,
and that in only a small number of cases. In other words, it is absolutely
impossible to guarantee a successful result even of these tiny dimensions
for any individual.
Before puberty, an abnormally small penis
can be stimulated into growth by a course of
testosterone injections.
(These injections do not work in this way after the body has begun to
produce testosterone of its own at puberty.) Between fourteen and eighteen
development can be acquired by a long course of daily massage carried out
in such a way that it stretches the penis constantly throughout massage.
After that, up to say twenty-two to twenty-three, attempts can be made,
and in certain individuals may succeed; but the older one gets the less
likely is success to attend any efforts.
Besides, the longest permanent increase I
have recorded is just under .75 inches in one man. This increase is not
long enough to be actually visible to the owner or consciously felt by the
partner, and it seems to me that for a man with a 3.5 or 4.5 inch-long
erect penis the addition of 1 inch is not going to be sufficient to help
him psychologically, for most men in this category almost invariably set
their sights on the average 6-inch penis, which is quite impossible.
There is also a serious danger that the final psychological state of the patient might be
worse than the first. It is not a physical danger, for the penis is a very
resilient and strong organ, but a psychological one. In very many minds a
course of treatment would create a certainty of success. If it failed, the
psychological impact of the disappointment would be tremendous and
harmful.
So we come back to 'making the best of what we've got';
sexual
positions and techniques
can be devised that can fully compensate for lack of penile length and
girth. For whatever anyone says to the contrary, penile girth is not
important in the sexual experience of the great majority of women, while
those for whom it is important can be taught various techniques to
overcome the girth deficiency of their partners (Kegel exercises), while
there are sex positions which will compensate for lack of length.
However, before I go on to these techniques
and positions, I would like to tell those who are embarrassed by the
smallness of their limp penis, that I fully appreciate their feelings,
because their penis is more likely to be seen by others, except the
sexual partner, when it is limp.
Accepting that it is not possible to increase the size of the penis,
except in a very, very few cases. and even then, only when the
penis-structure is such to allow it. In any case, the methods of treatment
so far devised require: (1) Long periods of daily application; (2)
Patient persistence over several months, and this
with a very uncertain prospect of success. Let me repeat once again the
findings of Masters and
Johnson which I stated earlier. The longer the limp penis the less its
length increases proportionately in erection. What this really means is
that it is quite impossible to tell from looking at a flaccid penis how long
and thick it is going to be when erect! It is the erect length, not the
limp length, that matters. For all their friends may know, the shy
retiring limp penis may take on the proportions of the stallion in the
privacy of the bedroom.
When I was at the university, my friends
and I were somewhat puzzled by the reputation one of our fellow
undergraduates had with women. Nor was it merely reputation; it was only
too evident that women wooed him as much as he chased them. The cause of
our bewilderment was the size of
his penis. We were all rowing men,
and he was one of the heftiest of us; but one had to look at him hard to
see that he had a penis at all. He had a very luxuriant pubic bush, and
deep in it the little glans nestled, only its pink head peering somewhat
coyly, so it seemed, from the surrounding thicket.
Now and again, we would
urge him to reveal to us the secret of his success with women. Was it, we
asked, that that little thing was not his real weapon, but merely marked
the spot where he screwed on his working model, which, we suggested, he
kept by his bedside on a bed of dried rose-petals in a cedar-wood box?
We ought to have given him the greatest psychological block with regard to
his sexual adequacy that a man ever had. But he laughed and joked with us,
not seeming to care about our taunts at all, and, what could be quite
exasperating, with a kind of superior air, as though he had a secret which
protected him from our callousness. Then one summer, one of our group
invited two of his cousins to our summer parties, and our victim
teamed up with one of the girls. Though they did their duty by the party,
they spent quite a long time together on their own. Suddenly, however, the
girl who had started out jolly and keen to participate in even the most
wild suggestions, became quiet, dreamy and preoccupied, and would not go
anywhere unless Andrew went too. 'Aha!' commented her host, 'Andrew's
been up to his usual tricks! What is the secret of his success? I've a
damned good mind to ask her.' Today we should probably have done just
that, but forty years ago, we preserved a kind of reticence about our
sexual relationships when it came to talking to the opposite sex.
It was just not done to ask a girl what her partner of the moment
possessed that had the effect on her he so obviously had.
However, if we could not ask her, her
sister could, if she was willing to. So we took the sister into our
confidence, and persuaded Sally, rather like the Philistines persuaded
Delilah, to discover Andrew's secret from Jane. When Sally eventually
reported, she said, 'You must be wrong about Andy's dick. Jane says it's
bigger than some she's on nodding acquaintance with; but what's more to
the point, he knows how to use it.
We could not
believe it. We could not envisage any smaller penis than Andrew's, even on
a fourteen-year-old boy. Yet we knew Jane was a girl of experience. What
did she mean? There was only one way to find out. We got ourselves
somewhat drunk and paid a call on Andrew. We told him what we had come
for, and requested him to prove himself. Naturally, he refused; so we
overpowered him, stripped him and while the others sat on arms and legs,
the fifth - Peter - stimulated his penis. After a time, finding he could not
successfully struggle against our combined strength, Andrew gave in. 'All
right, you bastards,' he said, 'have it your own way! But it'll cost you a
bottle of' champagne.' We agreed. 'I'll do it myself, too,' he went on.
'Peter's about as much use wanking as a boy of twelve.' I can still recall
the scene quite vividly. The five of us were rather more sober now,
feeling a little guilty grouped round the naked Andrew sprawled on the
settee, the light from a reading lamp falling on his penis and balls like
a spot-light. Andrew grinned. 'I know you chaps have been wanting to know
how I manage for ages. Besides, Jane likes champagne in bed. Presently, as
we watched, the
bud-like penis began to emerge from the mass of
dark curls in which it was embedded, and within a couple of minutes or so
was fully rampant, proud and erect. It did not seem possible, but there
was the evidence under our eyes. We had no tape-measure, but it was half
as long again as Philip's palm, and he had broad hands - much more than
five inches, certainly. But if this was not extraordinary enough, it was
swollen to an incredible girth. 'That's the best it will do in these
bizarre circumstances,' Andrew said. 'With the proper encouragement my
dick is bigger than this.'
While he was making coffee out of ear-shot,
we sat silent for a moment or so, then Robert exclaimed, 'If I hadn't seen
it, I wouldn't believe it. It's a freak, of course, a sexual phenomenon!'
We all agreed. Andrew had a unique penis. It was a biological phenomenon,
for which there was no rational explanation. We never teased him again.
Within a week or two we had got over our wonder at it. Those, then, with
small penises should not be distressed by what friends and acquaintances
may think of it. Even when it is under-average erect, no mere spectator of
its limpness can possibly know that it does not double itself when ready
for action. As I said earlier, there are a number of sexual techniques
which will compensate for lack of inches both in length and girth, though
I would remind my readers that even the 3 inch erect penis more than the
average-length female orgasmic platform. However, there is often a
psychological desire for penetration of some depth in both the man and the
woman - the man desires to come as near as possible to piercing,
symbolically, his partner's heart; the woman desires to be completely
filled. Let us take girth first. The man can do nothing about this, but
his partner can.
A young friend of mine, who had just
returned from a trip somewhere East of Suez, once spoke to me in
rhapsodies about the lovemaking techniques of the girls he had encountered
there. 'There's one thing they do in particular,' he said, 'which our
girls can't do. They can contract and relax the muscles in the vagina so
that it grips the penis. One girl I was with could do it so strongly that
I couldn't move my penis in and out. The sensation was terrific! Why can't
our girls do it?' 'They can,' I told him, 'but it takes a bit of practice.
The girls where you've just been are taught sex positions and techniques from
puberty, even perhaps earlier, and this use of the muscles in the
vagina-entrance especially, is one of the skills to which most attention
is paid.'
A similar technique which a man can also learn allows him to twitch his
erect penis at will by contracting his corresponding set of muscles.
