The answer to that question is far from simple. The best penis enlargement method for you depends on many factors. How much work do you want to put into a penis enlargement program? How much risk of failure (or even permanent damage) are you willing to take? What is your ultimate goal: a longer flaccid penis, a wider or longer erect penis, or both?

Here, we'll show you some penis enlargement methods, their results and their risks.

Surgery. Surgery is the riskiest, and, of course, most invasive procedure. The cons of surgery are clear: it's dangerous. With some surgeries, there's actually a high risk of the penis being shortened. Combine that with frequent, embarrassing doctor's visits, pain, and maintenance, and you have… the worst trip to the doctor's office of your life. It does work, but mostly just affects the girth or the flaccid penis length.

Pumps. Pumps actually do work. But there are some downsides to using them. In reality, they're dangerous, and you'ren't going to get any privacy when you're using them. Pumps work for only a very short time-- essentially, only long enough to begin having sex. Then you'll have to pull it out and re-pump, so you'd better be comfortable doing it in front of your girl. Pumps haven't been clinically proven to give permanent gains. The gains you'll get will be temporary, and not long-term.

Stretchers. Penis stretchers are the safest way to enlarge your penis. While they are more expensive than some other methods, there is very little risk involved in using them, and men report permanent gains in both length and girth.

Following a traction program, combined with exercises, has been shown to be the most effective penis enlargement method outside of surgery. You can do it in the comfort and privacy of your own home-- and you don't have to do it in front of your sexual partner.

There are many devices that are available online, including scams and legitimate products. Some products have bee shown to be bunk products that can fracture your penis ligaments, while some programs in particular have been proven to help men both with penis size and sexual performance.
