A quick guide to non-surgical techniques that are claimed to enlarge the penis. | ||

Jelqing
Supposedly an Arabian massage technique that was passed down the paternal family line in ancient times. Sounds like codswallop to us but there's no denying that jelqing is one of the most popular non-surgical techniques around. The basic idea is to force the penis to expand in a semi-tumescent state by massaging from the base towards the tip, thus forcing blood into the spongy tissue and supposedly enlarging that tissue over time.
There's little doubt that it works but arguments are ongoing about the precise mechanisms at work. Jelqing isn't expensive and all you need to begin is some lube or hand lotion, some spare time every day, and a program to work to. It's definitely worthwhile following a professionally designed program as it's relatively easy to injure yourself if you attempt too much too soon.

Extenders
Also known as penile stretchers or traction stretchers, these devices fit onto the penis while it is in a flaccid state, fasten around the head of the penis and then apply a constant pressure so as to keep it stretched. Typically, the devices are worn for several hours at a time. The stretching, over time, is claimed to enlarge the penis. The mechanisms at work are likely to be the same as those behind the jelq. Specifically, repetitive stress and pressure.
Impressively, Italian researchers recently established that extenders can provide significant gains over relatively short periods (see reference below). It was also found that the devices can provide substantial benefits to sufferers of Peyronie's disease.
Perhaps best of all, unlike jelqing, the use of extenders doesn't require a lot of manual handwork; you simply put it on and leave it. There are issues with wearing the devices in public (see below), but in their favor, the devices are probably the easiest route to getting a bigger dick, although perhaps also the most expensive.

Pills, Patches and Lotions
Sorry guys, but the bottom line is that none of this stuff will make your penis grow. A variety of products have ingredients that will increase the bloodflow to your penis – thus making your penis bigger in a flaccid state – but there is no product that will increase the size of your erection. Some of the ingredients in a number of pills are toxic in high doses so you should be careful about exactly what's in the product.
There is some anecdotal evidence (see below) that pills that increase bloodflow to the penis can provide benefits when taken in conjunction with a jelqing program. Supposedly, this boosts blood supply and makes the jelq routine more effective.
