Self-esteem and body image have become common topics, though usually only in reference to women. The truth is that men wrestle with issues about their bodies and, in many cases, their concerns are never addressed or discussed. That’s because for many men, their concerns are about body image had to do with penis size.
Sexuality and Society
Today, we like to think of ourselves as pretty open when it comes to sexuality. When we think of repression and hiding, we tend to think of the prude practices of the Victorians or the vanilla image of the wholesome white milk 1950s. The fact of the matter is that while we have become more open about sexuality in general, the particulars of sex and the human body are still not discussed openly and, as a result, both men and women grow up with a jaded idea of what they should be and how they measure up.
Since men often connect a lot of their self-confidence to their penis size, it’s not an issue often discussed in public. Many men mistakenly think their penis is too small thanks to ideals set by Hollywood, the adult entertainment industry and, in some ways, even science. When the Kinsey Report was first published, it relied on self-reporting when it came to penis size and, as a result, the average size for a penis was thought to be 7 inches for decades. When the researchers finally began double checking measurements for themselves, the true average length was revealed once and for all as being around 5 to 6 inches. While this new average has been widely published, it hasn’t garnered the same headlines as the original and many men still believe that anything under 7 inches is simply too small.
Body Modification and Self-Esteem
When body issues begin to negatively affect a person’s self-esteem they often resolve to do something about it. Usually this means losing weight, toning up or engaging in some other form of intensive but ultimately healthy body modification. Men with concerns about penis size often choose to use a penis extender in order to see how much length they can gain. Over the past few years a number of penis extenders have been under scrutiny, with traction style devices emerging as being the most effective. Using a penis extender takes time and patience so the men who use them know this is no quick fix. But for those willing to take their time and use the devices correctly, the pay-off can be huge.
Today’s penis enlargement devices are better than ever and many models now boast clinically backed test results. These devices are used in conjunction with certain massage techniques in order to boost their efficacy and prevent strain or injury. The process is somewhat slow, but it gives men the chance to take control of their bodies – and the way they feel – once and for all. Because this type of body modification takes time, it also gives men the chance to fully come to terms with their body shape and perhaps even take a keener interest in order areas of their health.
Of course, no penis extender can solve every man’s problem and penis size can only be changed so much, but taking control of the situation often helps to boost a man’s self-confidence long before any gains are realized. That’s the real magic when it comes to undergoing some sort of physical transformation – it’s not always the end result that makes the biggest difference – sometimes it’s just finally taking action. In these cases, engaging in penis enlargement is more than just improving a man’s physical body, it’s about improving his mental health and happiness too.
