Do Penis Enlargement Pills Work?

Double Long Daddy Speaks

Hello fellow PEers:

Today I've got a special treat for you. After reading Salon.com's excellent article on penis enlargement, I decided to contact Mike Salvini (aka Double Long Daddy) to see if he'd like to post an article here on my blog. He agreed and it follows this introduction. Guys, take note of this man. He and I are after the same thing: truth in penis enlargement. There are tons of sites and other types of misinformation out there, but DLD runs a great truthful site and should be an inspiration to us all...

Gain 3 inches in 3 weeks!!!!

Sign me up, take my money, where's my pill?  The fantasy many men have, who are searching for a larger penis, is just that, a fantasy. Like a good fiction novel it reads "I added 3 inches to my penis and all I had to do was take a pill", unfortunately these kind of stories will always be fiction. The fact of the matter is penis enlargement is very real, very possible and thousands of dedicated men, myself included, are making our penises longer and thicker everyday. My name is Mike Salvini (aka doublelongdaddy) and I added 4 inches to my penis.

Like many people I saw the spam, magazine endorsements, television spots and the myriad array of other advertisements promoting penis enlargement but in the same way most people react I thought it was impossible. So many men follow these promotions and buy these products only to be realize they didn't work. Losing their money is usually secondary to the disappointment they feel that their efforts were fruitless. This vicious cycle has cast a shadow on natural penis enlargement (NPE) as a whole. Sadly, many men will never find NPE due to the bad taste pill companies and the like have left in their mouths. It was not until recently that NPE left it's mark in the national media with a credible article by former GQ magazine writer, Peter Ruben called: Size Matters. This article took a serious, no nonsense look at natural penis enlargement and brought this largely unknown craft into the eyes of the general internet population.

What is Natural Penis Enlargement?  If you try to look it up in Webster's you will be doing it in vain. In it's most simple definition, NPE is the use of exercises (stretches, squeezes among 100's of other practices) to lengthen and thicken the penis (see www.mattersofsize.com). Not too many people know about this form of NPE exercise, largely because it is becomes pushed to the back of the search engines in favor of the wealthy pill companies. Many men will never know that they can enlarge their penis because they will never stumble upon it. For the lucky few a proverbial "fountain of penis" is realized and for minimal or no cost they are adding real inches of penis. Thanks to NPE I have almost earned my screen name, doublelongdaddy, starting with a 6.5 inch penis I now have 11".

One fallacy I often hear online is that natural penis enlargement will negatively effect erection quality, erection angle, straightness or other similar complications. This is a total misconception as NPE not only made my penis longer and thicker but it also improved the quality of my erections, improved my erection angle and gave me unlimited staying power during sex. As a matter of fact I have worked with many men who started NPE with a severe curve in their erection and with specialized exercise they soon realized a straighter penis, something not even possible with surgery!

It is really not that hard to grasp the mechanics of NPE (natural penis enlargement) but accepting it is another story. Humans have been enlarging parts of their bodies for centuries from the tribal lip and neck enlargement to the more recent ear lobe modification to accommodate larger jewelry. This is all easily accepted for the most part because it is visible, unmistakably evident and we see it everyday. The penis is another story for one simple reason, because it is a penis. The penis evokes insecurities, myths and envy. When the topic of penis is brought up most feel "dirty" talking about it and it becomes a resolution most silently suffer with. From the day I realized NPE worked it has been my personal quest to bring it to the public, let the world know, you do not have to suffer with a lack of size, just like improving every other body part, you can do the same with your penis. Through my 4 year, penile journey I have worked with hundreds of thousands of men and watched them take themselves to new lengths which ultimately changed their entire lives.

So what about the medical community?  If you ask your family doctor or try to get advice on the vast sexuality sites I am sure you will get a giggle and a comment similar to, "The only way to increase the length/girth of your penis is through surgery." I can only say that ignorance is contagious. One only need to spend a few minutes on my forum reading the boundless testimonies to NPE to realize their just might be something to this. Accepting the views of a misinformed media and not educating yourself on the topic could be the only thing holding you back from realizing your full penis potential.

My story of enlargement has been an incredible one. Only using my hands and physical exercises I have close to doubled the size of my penis. During my time involved with NPE I have helped many guys do the same and it soon became my life's work. Today I work full time developing exercises, writing routines, answering inquiries, spreading public awareness about NPE and of course continuing my quest to add more size to my penis. I have ran my own penis enlargement forum and site for the past two years and just recently created the world first natural penis enlargement DVD. Working in the DVD medium, opposed to the web, enabled me to put together a program that is completely interactive, highly comprehensive and in complete high definition. I am hoping that bringing NPE away from peoples computers and into their living room will reach many men who otherwise would never know it existed. My ultimate dream is to make penis enlargement as acceptable and respectable as breast enlargement. Many men need this, and I feel it is my duty to bring it to them. Accepting your penis size is no longer necessary, natural penis enlargement is a reality and the world need to know.

SizeGenetics: Week 9

Ever just really, really want a back rub? Not necessary a full massage or anything, but just a reassuring physical gesture from anther human being? God, I need that right now.            

I’ve had kind of a rough week. I got sick, I stared taking some extra classes (Calculus is fucking retarded), and things have just been kind of shitty. I miss my girlfriend, my left shoulder is killing me, and I’m sitting in the basement of my dorm using a public computer to tell people I’ve never met about the adventures I’m having with my penis. It’s been a rough week.

Speaking of which, my penis is great. Everything is going fine, and I think at this point we could already declare my efforts a success. It’s pretty much my only ray of sunshine right now. Which is pretty messed up, if you think about it. I mean, I’ve had a completely shitty week, and the only positive thing I can say is, “Well at least my penis is getting bigger.”

It just feels rather silly. I mean, when most people think back on the accomplishments of their day they think about the work they’ve done, the people they’ve helped, or maybe even the money they’ve made. I think about how many hours I’ve logged with the Andro-Penis. That isn’t usually the case, but that’s how I felt this week.

I have noticed one negative thing about my program that I thought I would share with everyone. So my penis has grown, yes? I think it looks fantastic when it’s erect, and considering that I already had a pretty decent girth, it’s almost formidable looking. I’m really happy about it. But when it’s flaccid, it looks...a little weird. Due to the constant stretching, I have a lot more skin around my penis. Now bear in mind that I’m talking about really flaccid, like shrinkage flaccid. But it looks like a chubby person’s belly when they bend over. Like, the skin kind of bunches into rings. I’m sorry if this is gross, but I figured it was important to mention. I’m not really concerned about it. After all, I need more skin because the shaft is longer and thicker now. And I don’t really care what my penis looks like flaccid anyway. Plus, I’m circumcised anyway, so a little extra skin can’t really hurt. I also have a working theory that is just temporary, and when the skin gets a little more used to things, it’ll spring back. So I’m okay with it. But, for those of you that might be hyper-sensitive about these kind of things, maybe this is a down side. I’m still confident that the program is safe, and that I’m doing everything right.

And I am really happy about the device. I don’t feel more confident or anything like that, (I never had issues with that anyway) but I have noticed that sex with my girlfriend has gotten better. And I get a little extra thrill now whenever I see my penis, which is definitely nice. Overall, I’m content. I just wish the rest of my life was going as well as my program.

SizeGenetics: Week 8

I think PE is skewing my perceptions of reality.

I was talking to a friend. He was telling me about this anthropology class that he’s taking. He’s majoring in anthro, so he gets to take really specific classes. This one was about tribal Africa. He was telling me that in certain regions of Africa, tribesmen would attach weights and hoops to their penis to make them stretch. A photo was shown of a man with a penis that appeared to be over a foot-long. Flaccid.

And what was my first reaction?

A tinge of jealousy. Just a little, before I realized how gross that would be. But yes, for a second, I was like, “I want that!!”

I think it’s important for those of us on this journey to try and not lose perspective. When we are young (and I am young), it is easy to focus on insecurities, and make them into enormous problems. And I am told (for I am young), that adults do this as well. Personally, I’m always amazed when grown men, my teachers even, go into the men’s stalls and can’t pee in front of other people. After all, a penis is not that important. A larger penis will not improve your quality of life, it will not help you make more friends, and it will only improve your sex life if you are already capable of getting women to see your penis.

So why are we all so obsessed, sitting in our rooms with lotion, pill bottles, and measuring tape? I’m not really sure. For me, I just like the idea of having a bigger penis. I’m not a tall man, and I’ve never been particularly strong or athletic. I sing, and although I sing well, I am a tenor. That means, of course, that I have kind of a high voice. I am quite hairy, but not disgustingly so. Essentially, I’m just trying to say that I am not the pinnacle of manliness. And I am fine with that. Truly. But I still want a bigger penis. I still fantasize about it, wear the Andro-Penis, and take my pills three time a day.

I think I have a point to all of this. When I wear the Andro-Penis, I generally don’t wear it when I’m hanging around people. I might wear it to class, but definitely not out to lunch with my friends. I never put the device first. If I have the option of being with real people, or getting in an extra action-packed hour of stretching, I go for option A. I think that’s important. Don’t make PE the focus of your day, or life. It may seem really important, but in the grand scheme of things, there’s way better things to do with your time.

All that being said, my penis grew and I was excited as hell.

Mainstream Media: Penis Enlargement Is Possible

I recently came across an article on Salon.com titled "Size Matters." It's an excellent article about penis enlargement guru/evangelist Mike Salvini (aka Double Long Daddy) and his quest to have the biggest penis in the world. "He once had a healthy 6-and-a-half-inch erection; now he sports a 10-and-a-half-inch heart-stopper."

You can read the full article on Salvini's blog or on Salon, but here are some excerpts...

The penis enlargement movement (PE) has a good community and they know what works and what doesn't:

In fact, thousands of men across America are obsessed with getting bigger penises. They describe themselves as being part of the natural penis enlargement "community" -- "P.E." to its practitioners -- and they are spread across various forums and chat rooms, places with names like Thunder's Place, Big Al's and Mike Salvini's Matters of Size. P.E. forums are fraternities, worlds of experimentation and encouragement, where men with online monikers like "Dino9x7" and "Soon2b9" will go to any length to get to any length.

Well, almost. They're rational men, after all. And those ads in the back of the magazines? Those late-night Enzyte TV spots that helped their parent company generate projected sales of $240 million last year? Hokum, says the Center for Science in the Public Interest. You simply cannot make your penis larger by taking a supplement (Enzyte parent company Berkeley Premiere Nutraceuticals knows that too, taking such claims off their ads.) Nor can you reliably do so through surgical means, says Dr. Gary J. Alter, a plastic surgeon based in Beverly Hills, Calif. Not unless you want what he describes as "penile distortion, fat nodules and lumps, and irregularity."

P.E. practitioners know all this, which is why they call what they do "natural" penis enlargement: no pills, no surgery, no snake oil. There might be a gray-market cottage industry riding the coattails of Cialis and Levitra, but P.E.ers want no part of it. In fact, many see these spam-fueled businesses as a stumbling block to their legitimate form of enlargement. "My biggest problem is dealing with all the other bullshit out there," says Salvini. "Having people see a clear line between what I'm doing, and pills and patches and all the other bullshit. We get tossed into that same pile, because people aren't educated enough to see that there's a difference."

Science hasn't done any research on PE:

Still, the P.E. movement has absolutely zero legitimacy in the eyes of science. No one in the American medical community has yet deigned to study P.E.; speaking softly and carrying a bigger stick is still folly. "The penis is a beautifully designed anatomical marvel that has evolved through millions of years," says Dr. J. Francois Eid, director of the Advanced Urological Care Center in New York. "It's immature, arrogant even, to think that we can do better." Making one's penis bigger through exercise, he says, is akin to making one's nose bigger through exercise -- and about as likely to happen.

The urologists at Boston University's Institute for Sexual Medicine refused even to comment on P.E. for this story. According to a spokesperson, "the topic is not to their liking." Dr. Ira Sharlip of the American Urological Association was willing to consider the possibilities. "Nobody knows the answer" to whether or not natural exercises could increase one's penis size, he said, "but I'd imagine that up to some reasonable limit the spongy tissue" -- more on this later -- "could expand." Even the most grudging concessions, though, come with a stern caveat: "I don't think you can conclude that [P.E. is] medically sound," Sharlip said, "just because there are numerous anecdotal experiences with it."

The foundation of PE exercises is jelqing:

When a healthy man becomes aroused, two spongy chambers known as corpora cavernosa expand with the flow of blood and press against a smooth-muscle sheath, the tunica albuginea. This is the determinant of penile girth. In P.E. theory, forcing blood into the corpora cavernosa will extend the tunica's capacity over time and ultimately enlarge the penis. So the old-school cornerstone of P.E. is an exercise known as jelqing: gripping the base of the partially erect penis with the thumb and forefinger in a tight OK sign, and pulling upward to the head. Milking yourself, in a sense. In conjunction with various stretching exercises that target the ligaments of the penis and the tunica, jelqing and its many variants form the foundation of a P.E. routine. (A typical beginning P.E. routine, as dictated by Mike Salvini, might include 300 jelqs a day.) According to "Luvdadus," a Southern physician and active P.E.er, such exercises take advantage of the regenerative properties of ligaments, muscles and tendons. "For there to be permanent lengthening," he says, "there has to be some breakage in the covalent bonds of the collagen." This takes a great deal of time; some men report gains in as little as a month, some slave over their penises for a year or more without seeing any significant progress.

Even weight-lifting used to be an insane concept until people popularized it for the masses:

But even weight lifting was dismissed once as the crazy pursuit of 98-pound weaklings. It needed a champion -- a Jack LaLanne, a Charles Atlas, a Joe Weider -- to codify it, package it, take it mainstream. Mike Salvini wants to be that man for P.E. "I feel like the world should know about it," he says. "It should be a clean, out-of-the-back-alley business."

Salvini even caught the attention of legendary porn star Ron Jeremy:

Mike dubbed himself Double Long Daddy for a purely literal reason: His flaccid penis is twice what it used to be. After seeing a picture of it online, the porn legend Ron Jeremy e-mailed him to see if he was interested in doing adult films. (He was not.) When I see Mike on his couch, legs crossed in such a confining way, I find it hard to believe he can sit down without causing himself immeasurable discomfort. He keeps his penis tucked between his legs and under a buttock. When he stands and bends to pick something up, I can glimpse it poking at the nylon of his shorts.

"Whenever we're out, women always stare at it," says Jen, with something approaching pride in her voice. Clearly, she is pleased with Mike's penis.

Clearly Double Long Daddy had the dedication necessary to get from 6.5 inches to 10.5 inches. He's nearly doubled his length. Penis enlargement is real. If you want it enough, you can do it too.

SizeGenetics: Week 7

So there is a very distinct disadvantage to the device that had not really occurred to me. This may not be a problem for everyone, so don’t get alarmed. But essentially, if you are having tons of sex, it’s really not possible to wear the device. Last weekend I came home. I go to college, my girlfriend lives in my hometown. I hadn’t seen her in two weeks. And, as to be expected, we had a ridiculous amount of sex. I’m not trying to brag, I’m just making this point clear.

Now, again, let’s be honest. If you’ve ever had the opportunity to have lots of sex, generally things start to become a little less enjoyable after about the 3rd or 4th time. Muscles get tired, flesh gets sore, that kind of thing. I may be young, but I am only human. Under normal circumstances, however, I can have lots of sex one day, and then do it all over again the second day. This, however, was not the case this weekend. I wore the device on Thursday, had lots of sex on Friday, and could barely move my penis on Saturday.

I’m exaggerating a little, to be sure. But the Andro-Penis does make your penis tired. Of course it does; it’s the equivalent of pulling on your penis for several hours in a day. Although they say it is best to stretch before exercising, I’m not sure this applies to your penis. By the end of the first day, I was sore, tired, and a little used up. And I sure as hell didn’t feel like strapping the device on.

There are a lot of reasons why this could have happened. I hadn’t done anything for two weeks, and then I had crazy sex for six hours straight. That would tire anyone. But, in the past, I’ve always been able to bounce back immediately. And you would think that, what with taking 3 Pro-solution Pills a day, I would be virile as hell. Maybe I’m just getting old. I am 19; maybe I hit my prime when I was 18 and I didn’t know it. But I don’t think so.

Also, if you do happen to be fooling around a lot, there simply is no time to wear the mighty Andro-Penis. I mean, even if you were comfortably married and blissful, I doubt your wife would let you wear the device in between foreplay. And since the device can’t be worn while sleeping, this could present a problem for seriously active people. To be honest, I’m not sure what I will do when I get out of school. If I’m still on the program, and dating my girlfriend, I have no idea when I’ll be able to make the time to wear the device.

Essentially, what this means is that this program was not really designed for people that are getting laid consistently. After all, if you were totally content with your sex life, you probably wouldn’t want to make your penis bigger. For me, I am fairly content with my sex life. I really just want a bigger penis because I want one, and because I think my girlfriend would like it more. Not because I expect to get laid more often.

SizeGenetics: Week 6

So I was almost discovered. As I believe I said earlier, I have told no one about what is going on inside my pants. No one knows about the pills, no one knows about the exercises, and no one has any idea about the Andro-Penis. But if I’m not more careful, I could be exposed. Earlier this week I was carrying the device around in my pocket, either because I had just taken it off, or because I was going to be putting it on again soon. At some point it fell out of my pocket without my knowledge. My roommate later came to the room, and an exchange that went something like the following occurred:

“What’s this on the floor?” asked Mike, the ever-suspicious roommate.

“Umm... I dunno (stalling for time)... OH it’s a guitar thing,” I explained, and then quickly kicked the device on the bed.

“Why? What did you think it was?” I asked nervously.

“Uh... well I thought for a second... never mind,” said Mike.

After all, the device is really odd looking. If I just saw it lying on the floor, I wouldn’t know what to make of it. But, if I thought really hard about it, it might occur to me what it could be used for. So it’s very possible that he knows, or at least suspects.

And I guess that’s not terrible. I feel that, as a fellow male, he would probably understand. But he’s not nearly as sexually-active as I am (that’s my nice way of saying he’s kind of ugly), so I’m not sure he feels the same kind of pressures I do. And to be honest, it’s really just not a conversation I’m looking forward to having. I mean, one time he caught me looking at porn (my pants were up, relax), and it was awkward for a couple of weeks.

What’s really going on is that I’ve just become completely used to the device. I’ve been wearing it a lot, using the moisturizer, and I’ve been totally fine. I’ve worn it to class on more than a few occasions, and I’m really quite pleased about everything. The device itself is pretty long now, and I think I should start to see some more substantial increases. I just like to look at my self when I’m wearing the device, and think about how great it’s gonna be when this is all over. That may sound kind of odd, but I’m just very excited.

But as a result of this, I’ve grown careless. Since I no longer think about the device as much, I keep forgetting that other people would be uncomfortable with the idea. I left the device out, I’ve put the skin lotion bottle on my dresser (that’s raised some eyebrows), and occasionally I’ve even left the pill bottles out in my room (don’t worry too much, I’ve put them in bottles that are unmarked). I just need to start being more careful.
