Questions You Should Ask

Our email inboxes fill up every day with advertisements for pills, ointments, supplements, and contraptions aimed at enhancing penis size, sexual stamina, or libido. It's a testimony to men's abiding insecurities about sexual performance. The question is, do any of these "male enhancement" techniques really work?

Richard, a mechanic from upstate New York, is a muscular, athletic guy. He has a loving wife who has always enjoyed their sex life. But ever since he was a young boy, Richard couldn't get over the feeling that his penis was too small. In public bathrooms, he'd use the handicapped stall. He felt embarrassed in gym locker rooms and when standing naked before his wife. "I didn't feel manly enough."

Then, in the back of a weightlifting magazine, he saw an ad for male enhancement that claims to make the penis longer and fatter. Richard decided to give it a try. He was shocked to notice a difference within a few days. After four months he says his flaccid penis has gone from 3 inches to over 5 inches; erect, he has gone from less than 6 inches to over 7 inches. Richard says the effect on his self-confidence has been priceless: "It made a world of difference to me."
