Article Source: Penis Enlargement Pills - Caveat Emptor - Let the Buyer Beware

The internet is full of sites selling them.

Spam mail is everywhere.

Men are told they can't do without them.

Them? Penis Pills. Penis Enlargement Pills. Herbal Penis Pills. Those pills that we're told are necessary for our sexual well-being and enjoyment. Those pills that are supposed to make our penises bigger. Those pills that are the butt of course jokes and innuendos.

But we may ask, do they really work?

The answer is NO, but on the other hand it's YES.

Penis pills have been on the market for years and are made from a combination of herbs and plants that are thought to provide some sort of sexual and physiological stimulus to a man. The most common stimulus being to increase libido - the mental desire to have sex - and/or to thin the blood to allow more to pass into the penile shaft, thus giving a harder penis, but only a temporary and minor increase in size.

These herbs and plants have been used by peoples all over the world throughout the ages to give them 'an edge' in their sexual exploits.

The proportions of each plant product in the pills varies, but the aim would be the same - to make a man's penis bigger, either longer, thicker, or both.

The ability of these herbs and plants to achieve results has been passed down from generation to generation and today is based entirely on hearsay. There would be very little medical research carried out, either into the efficacy of the herbs, or into any possible side effects. So the recommendations to use these pills comes not from clinical trials and research, but from people who have taken the pills, and allegedly experienced some gain. The word 'allegedly' is used here to indicate that results from this source can be manipulated to support a given proposition.

Hardly definitive proof of the effectiveness of these pills. And clearly a warning to purchasers to be aware that there is no medical evidence to support the claim that these pills, ON THERE OWN, can enlarge a man's penis.

So the Latin phrase - caveat emptor - is applicable here. Let the buyer beware.

However, there are circumstances when herbal penis pills can help in the process of penis enlargement.

When used as an adjunct to a recognized method of penis enlargement, then these pills do have a role to play. A role that assists and reinforces any gain in penile mass achieved by one of these more accepted methods of penis enlargement.

So what are these 'accepted methods of penis enlargement?'

The most popular one is that using a penis traction device. This is a plastic device or enlarger that holds the flaccid penis in a cradle and by very gradual increments, increases its length and girth over a period of time. The slight pressure on the penis during elongation breaks the cell structure within the penile shaft, and the cells are repaired and come together again by the creation of new cells. This adds 'bulk' to the penis.

The second most popular method of achieving a bigger penis in by following a program of penis exercises. These programs are usually accessible online and show a multitude of exercises on videos, photos, or diagrams. Progress may be slow, but regular exercises have been seen to get results.

The best method of enlarging a penis involves all three methods - using a traction device; using an exercise program; and supplementing these with a course of herbal pills.

In this case penis pills act as a way of thinning the blood, allowing a greater volume to enter the penis, thus making it harder, and therefore fractionally larger.

Penis pills, then, do have a positive effect on penis enlargement, but only when used as a supplement to other enlargement methods.
