The commonest worries related to the penis are size, erectile dysfunction, and premature ejaculation. The average penis is 6.2 inches long and 3.7 inches wide. Penis size tends to vary slightly with ethnicity. Men always associate manliness with an above average penis size, while women often give varying answers because of shyness or social stigma.

Many men in their 20s and 30s are unhappy about the size of their penis and suffer from performance anxiety. This problem is often seen in men who are either introvert or lack confidence overall.

Some women say that penis size does not matter and only passion and love matter during intercourse. Others openly say that bigger the penis, greater the pleasure due to the friction caused.

Erectile dysfunction involves no erection or weak erection, while premature ejaculation implies early or untimely ejaculation of the semen. Both types of problem have physical and psychological bases. Physical causes include diabetes, hypertension, surgery, kidney diseases, and hormonal disorders. Psychological factors are performance anxiety, marital discord, stress, anger, and depression.

Most of the problems associated with low sexual performance are caused by low blood flow to the penis. Poor dietary habits, lack of exercise, smoking, or old age can cause decreased blood flow to the penis. Poor performance leads to decreased pleasure. Therefore, all the 3Ps matter in providing a fulfilling sexual experience to males and their partners.

The size of the penis can be increased by various artificial aids like pumps and gels, as well as surgery. The surgical procedure is initiated for medical reasons and psychological or aesthetic reasons. The former includes a condition known as Micro penis, which affects man's capacity to procreate. The latter is based on a man's desire for a bigger penis.

Men, the world over, have taken recourse to aphrodisiacs since time immemorial to improve their erection and ejaculation. However, it was with Viagra's launch that male sexual enhancement became a hotly debated topic.

Today, a variety of pills, oils, lotions, gels, and massagers for male enhancement are easily available in pharmacies and online stores. Some of them claim to boost overall strength and vitality of males, which have a positive correlation with sexual desire and prowess.

Others offer remedies for specific problems like erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, by claiming to increase the size, firmness, and period of erection and delaying ejaculation, respectively.

Apart from oral medicines and locally applied products, men take recourse to counseling to improve their sex life. This includes identifying mental blocks like fear, anxiety, and stress.

People today are more vocal about sexual issues and view sex as something more than a tool for procreation. The obsession with male enhancement is likely to grow in the future with increasing desire for sexual pleasure and gradual evaporation of the social stigma associated with sex-for-pleasure.

In addition, the vagaries of modern life are likely to cause sexual defects in men, leading them to take recourse to male enhancement products and devices.
