When it comes to penis lengthening techniques, as well as penis girth increase, we are not at loss for methods. Men can choose nowadays what they believe is the best for them and in many cases they go for a combination of two or more of these techniques. If you're interested in knowing more about penis enlargement let's take a look at these techniques, how safe are they and which method is the best for you.

For both penis lengthening techniques and penis girth increase we can choose between the following:
- Penis Exercises.
Penis exercises are probably the cheapest method of all penis enhancement techniques. You can find tons of penis exercises web sites on the internet and a lot of them are free programs, too. If you feel confident enough to go for it without an individualized set of routines and without support, then do it. I would advise you to visit as many different web sites as you can find and make an effort to enroll in a paid program. Paid penis enhancement programs are still cheap compared to everything else and they come with a lot of useful medical information and data, DVDs to help you exercise correctly and safe and a knowledgeable support team.

- Supplements.
Supplements have the worst value for the money when it comes to penis enlargement. There is no pill, lotion, cream, oil etc that would help you increase the length and girth of your penis. No matter how many advertisements you have seen, no matter what everybody tells you, the truth is you will waste your money buying supplements of any kind.

If you are lucky you will buy just fibers or vitamins or a combination of both and it will not harm you, even if it won't have any other effect on you. I have to caution you that it is not advisable to take more than one type of vitamin cocktails at any given time, so check with your doctor if you just have to try these snake-oil remedies as pills. If you are not so lucky they may contain testosterone which, depending on the dosage, may or may not disrupt your hormonal balance.

- Penis Stretching/Jelqing Devices.
Penis stretchers or penis extenders and jelqing devices are extremely popular and produce great results when it comes to gaining penile length and girth. It's no wonder they are referred to as the top rated penis enlargement methods! Penis stretchers and jelqing devices work much in the same way as exercises do, with the addition of enhanced safety and better handling, both of which are especially useful for novices. Safety should always be your top concern with everything that comes in close contact with your penis and these devices can really make a difference here.

Of course, just like in the case of exercises, you will find out that you can actually come up with your own version at home. To put it simply, don't ever try to do such a thing and don't use any home-made device if offered. It's the same thing as building a house yourself and watching it fall apart during the first rain or having it build by professionals and being safe inside even when an earthquake hits. Penis stretchers and jelqing devices are great for you, but do take the time and study the offer and choose top quality products.

- Penis Pumps.
Penis pumps are not lengthening or girth increasing devices, although they may be marketed as such. Penis pumps can and are successfully used to help some men achieve erections, especially if medication of any kind is out of the question. Prolonged use of penis pumps may result in a loss of feeling, damaged nerves, skin blotches, broken blood vessels, injury caused by over pumping, rupture of venous system etc.

- Surgery.
Surgery is the word you will hear if you talk penis enlargement with your doctor. For one thing they will try to change your mind telling you there is no such a thing as penis enlargement and then, if you prove to be stubborn enough, they will tell you about surgery. Studies have shown that the majority of men who undergo penis enlargement surgery aren't satisfied with the results. Surgery may at best add an average of half an inch to the length of the flaccid penis, but may not add anything to the erect penis.

Following various types of cosmetic penile enhancement surgery, some men have had to undergo additional operations to correct deformities caused by the original procedure. The ill effects include scarring, a shorter penis, hair on the base of the penis, a low-hanging penis, loss of sensitivity and abnormal fat lumps. Other complaints include impotence (erectile dysfunction), urinary incontinence and persistent pain.
