The internet is full of sharks seeking to take money off the unsuspecting public. Some products or services being sold are notorious for being promoted by these crooks. One such product concerns penis enlargement.

Contrary to common belief, not all penis enlargement advertisers are cheats or scumbags. Most of them are, but there are a number of suppliers who believe in giving their customers what they want for a fair price. Most of these suppliers would be selling a penis enlarger device that works.

However, those enlargement products that produce either no or questionable results are the ones most likely to be sold by unscrupulous sellers. In other words, the product may be a scam, and the sellers are more than happy to take the public's money. By advertising through spam mail, collecting credit card details for further illegal use, and shipping out products that do not work, these sellers, though in the minority, represent the very worst of online selling.

So what are the penis enlargement systems that fail to give any positive results? Starting with those products that definitely don't get any long term results, the Vacuum Pump is top of the list. The penis is put into an airtight cylinder - usually plastic - and the air is sucked out creating a partial vacuum. This increases the pressure inside the cylinder so forcing more blood into the penile shaft and increasing it's size.

However as soon as the penis is taken out of the cylinder and is no longer subject to the higher pressure, it starts to reduce to its normal size. By fitting a ring to the base of the penis the rapid decline in the size of the penis can be delayed long enough for intercourse to take place.

But as far as giving a permanent increase, it just won't happen. The same goes for those enlarger systems that uses water in the cylinder and the user has to periodically pump out the water to create a partial vacuum. The effect on the penis is short-lived - it may be sufficient for sex to take place - it may not.

Creams and lotions that are rubbed into the penis and reputably increase its size are pure scams. The idea is that the herbs and other products contained in the lotion will benefit the penis. This is nonsense. These lotions don't work - there is nothing to prove that they do.

The next method that could cause problems is Penile Surgery. Here a surgeon will take some tissue from a part of the patient's body and attach it to the penis to make it look bigger, the idea being that the penis will look bigger both in its flaccid state and when erect.

Results are mixed without any guarantee that a bigger penis will be achieved. This type of procedure is not recognized by any of the medical cosmetic surgery associations in the US and is not covered by the health insurance funds. The patient has to cover the costs entirely from his own pocket.

With no guarantee of success and a cost nearing $10,000 its no wonder that many cases end up in the hands of lawyers. An enlargement method no longer in vogue but may still be seen advertised is that of lengthening the penis by attaching weights to it. The idea is that small weights are attached initially building up to heavier weights.

The system had two disadvantages: firstly it was dangerous - the penis and its supporting muscles could be irrevocably damaged; secondly the penis becomes long and thin - it has no bulk. This is an enlargement method best forgotten.

Having looked at the bad and the dangerous penis enlargement methods, what methods achieve the best results?. A penis traction device is the answer. This is a small plastic and steel unit that can be worn under loose-fitting clothing. The flaccid penis rests in a small cradle with a top and a lengthening bracket attached to each side. The cradle is lengthened very gradually so that the penis experiences very small incremental increase in length. Over a period of time, an increase in length can be noticed.

This is a method of enlargement that gets permanent results. Not only does the shaft increase in length, it also becomes bigger in girth.There are several brands of this type of product available, all achieving positive results. Because of the competition, most suppliers offer a variety of bonuses - herbal pills (which work in conjunction with an traction device), online penis exercise programs, and membership to related web sites.

A penis enlargement traction device is the only product that can give guaranteed results. This ensures that they are the preferred device for men serious about penis enlargement.
