Men and women have been masturbating for as long as humans have existed, but despite this, there remains a lot of misconception about the power of masturbation, particularly when it comes to penis size.

Amongst the myths that are attached to masturbation, is the belief that doing it regularly enough will increase the size of the penis – but what’s the truth? Let’s find out.

Penis enlargement myths – and why they don’t work!

Ramping up male masturbation for increased penis size isn’t the only fallacy floating around. In fact, when it comes to the size of our manhood, there are tonnes of myths, many of which have been around for years – and have been believed, tried and tested by men around the world. So, what are they and is there any real truth behind them?

Some of the most popular misconceptions around penis size include:

Not only can masturbation increase penis size, but apparently masturbating can decrease penis size too
Ejaculation through masturbation can lower testosterone levels (and in turn, result in a smaller penis)
Penile clamps, rings and pumps can extend the length of the penis
Pills, lotions and vitamins for penis enlargement can help increase the length or girth of the penis
An improved diet will help increase penis size
Increased exercise will help increase penis size

These are just a few of the dozens of ideas people have around penis size, many of which you can see contradict each other, and none of which are accurate. In fact, although some of the above methods could temporarily increase penis size, such as penile clamps or rings – long-term use can be harmful and cause permanent damage to the penile tissue. So, is it really worth it?

So, why do men want a bigger penis?

If we’re being honest, almost every man wants to have a bigger penis. It’s no surprise why – with around 90% of women admitting that they’d prefer their partners to have a larger penis, the pressure is on to deliver the goods, often by any means necessary.

So, if an opportunity to increase penis size is made available, particularly one that can be done from the comfort of your own home, of course you’re going to believe it can work – and go above and beyond to get the results you so desire.

But – what might be the underlying reason you’re unhappy with the size of your penis to begin with? Whether it relates to your general health, your weight or past sexual experiences – low self-esteem can have the biggest impact on your confidence and can have a knock-on effect on how well you perform sexually.

Here are some of the most common reasons for why men want a bigger penis:

Belief that penis size has a direct correlation with masculinity
Fear that they won’t be able to satisfy a partner
Fear that a smaller penis means they won’t be as fertile
Feelings of inadequacy compared to male peers

The truth about increased masturbation for penis enlargement

Amongst the masses of myths around DIY ways to increase the size of your penis, by far the most popular (and the one most men believe in) is increasing the amount of masturbation that is done. It is often believed that the act of masturbation alone is enough to increase penile length because of the increase blood flow to the organ – but is it really worth your time?

Unfortunately, the short answer here is no. We understand the appeal of taking extra “you time” doing something that comes naturally. After all, it costs nothing and requires little effort – but the truth is it makes no difference to the length of your penis at all.

The reason that masturbation is thought to increase penis size is that when doing it, most men tug or stretch their penis to achieve an erection and make it harder. Moreover, masturbation improves blood flow to the penis due to the friction that you are creating while tugging and stretching your manhood in order to reach orgasm.

In turn, you may notice that your penis has increased in size. This is mainly due to the swelling from masturbation, and the results aren’t long term. Furthermore, there is no evidence whatsoever to confirm that frequent masturbation has any effect on penis size. In fact, trying to force your penis to grow bigger through excessive masturbation will only lead to your manhood suffering uncomfortable consequences such as bruising, scarring, and painful erections.
