There is billion dollar industry for male enhancement drugs and products to increase the size of a males penis, but many of them just plain do not work. So that leaves men wondering, can I really increase the size of my penis?

How to NOT Increase Penis Size
According to experts, the long answer has to do with what you are doing to your God-given organ in order to maintain it, keep it healthy and grow it over time.

First let's talk about things that DON'T work:
• Forget enlargement products.
Three simple words: Waste of Time. Well, three more words: Waste of Money. They are expensive, and 99% of them are clinical frauds. No pill, potion, device, or exercise can permanently enlarge a penis. Some may give you other effects, like tingly down there or increased heart rate, which will have you THINK that it's working, but it's really now.
• Forget surgery.
The full lengthening and girth enhancement, is expensive (around $15,000) and problematic. Lengthening surgery cuts the ligament that makes an erection stand up. This adds an inch or so, but erections no longer salute. They just hang between your legs and must be manually directed into erotic openings. Girth enhancement takes fat from the buttocks and injects it under the penis skin. Sounds good, but quite often, the result is a lumpy, deformed-looking penis. Not to mention if overtime it could cause problems.
• Quit smoking.
Flaccid or erect, size depends on the amount of blood in the organ. Less blood means a smaller penis. Smoking narrows the arteries, including those that carry blood into the penis. Smoking limits blood flow into the organ, which makes it smaller.
So with that out of the way, what can you REALLY do to increase penis size? Well, let's talk about what really works:
How to Really Increase Penis Size
Use Stretching exercises
Before you do any manual stretching:
Only do these exercises while you’re flaccid.
Stop if the exercise causes pain or discomfort.
Sit or stand against a wall or table while you’re doing them.
Only do these exercises once or twice a day to avoid injury.
Talk to your doctor if you want to hold these exercises longer or do them more frequently.
To manually stretch your penis:
- Grip the head of your penis.
- Pull your penis upward, stretching it out for about 10 seconds.
- Pull your penis to the left for another 10 seconds, then to the right.
- Repeat these steps once or twice a day for about 5 minutes.

Or try this:
- Grip the head of your penis.
- Pull your penis upward.
- Press on the area around the base of your penis at the same time.
- Hold this position for about 10 seconds.
- Repeat these steps with your penis pulled to the left, applying pressure to the base of your penis on the right side.
- Repeat these steps with your penis pulled to the right, applying pressure to the base of your penis on the left side.
- Repeat this exercise once a day for up to 2 minutes.
To “jelq” your penis:
- Put your index finger and thumb in an O shape.
- Place the O-shaped gesture at the base of your penis.
- Make the O smaller until you put mild pressure on your penis shaft.
- Slowly move your finger and thumb toward the head of your penis until you reach the tip. Reduce the pressure if this feels painful.
- Repeat this once per day for about 20 to 30 minutes.

Change your diet
• Exercise counts.
Exercise improves arterial health, allowing more blood into the penis. But exercising the penis itself is pointless. The sex media sometimes refer to the penis as the "love muscle," implying that like the biceps, certain exercises can buff it up. But there are different kinds of muscle tissue. The penis contains smooth muscle, not the kind that gets bigger with exercise. Lose the big belly, because a big belly encroaches on the base of the penis, making the organ look smaller. Lose abdominal fat, and your penis looks larger.
• Eat less meat and cheese, and more fruits the vegetables.
A diet high in animal fat raises cholesterol, which narrows the arteries, including those that carry blood into the penis. Try going a day or two a week without meat or cheese. And eat five to eight daily servings of fruits and vegetables. They contain antioxidants that help keep the arteries open.
• Embrace meditative relaxation.
The arteries the carry blood into the penis are surrounded by muscle tissue. When men feel anxious (including worrying about penis size), these muscles contract, constricting the arteries and reducing blood inflow and size. But as men relax deeply, these muscles also relax,...
... opening the arteries, maximizing blood flow, and boosting size, (Erection drugs work by relaxing these muscles.)
In addition, anxiety triggers the "fight or flight" reflex that sends blood away from the central body, including the penis, and out toward the limbs for escape or self-defense. But as men relax, blood returns to the central body, including the penis.
• Stay warm.
You've probably noticed that in chilly locker rooms, your penis seems to shrink. But after a hot shower, it looks larger. Warmth is relaxing and increases blood inflow and size. Before sex, bathe or shower with your lover in warm water.

Alternative Methods
Beyond these approaches, here are two ways to enhance size temporarily:
Cock Rings.
These rubber donut-shaped devices tightly encircle the erect penis. Typically used to help maintain erection, they also provide a small--temporary--size boost. Flaccid or erect, blood circulates in and out of the penis. One of the veins that carries blood out runs close to the organ's skin (on top). A ring restricts outflow somewhat by compressing this vein. Don't expect miracles. Any effect is modest and temporary.
Penis pumps.
These plastic tubes create a partial vacuum around the penis. The vacuum draws blood into the organ, resulting in temporary size enhancement. Models differ, but all include a plastic tube and a pump operated by a hand bulb. You squeeze the bulb, which evacuates air from the tube, drawing a little extra blood into the penis. Just remember, the effect is modest and temporary.
