A Short Background on Penis Extenders
The science (and the fascination) of extending the penis stretches back to early history. The concept of extending and stretching one’s penis or through the use of devices like the penis extenders are not new; the process and the fascination with a bigger and longer was with the early civilizations a well and this is practiced in many parts of the world. The principle of extension dates back for thousands of years where people are fascinated with enlarging different parts of the body, from lips to ears and yes, including one’s penis.
The common practice back then was to use weights and other instruments in order to stretch some body parts, and there are even some cultures and tribal groups which are too engrossed with enlarging the penis through different forms. This unique process and cultural practice was even the subject of an anthropological investigation from Margaret Mead. Mead observed that the Polynesian males stretched their penises with the use of the woven sleeve made from plant fiber similar to the Chinese finger trap. The practice then was to insert one’s penis into one end and a rock or any heavy object was hung on the other end. Archaeological surveys also reveal cave drawings that suggest the practice of penis stretching. Some of these cave paintings that dates back to 440 BC show men (usually Kings and those in power) with large penises.
Arabia
Penis is known as a symbol of masculinity and virility in many cultures, and this is true as well in the Arabia. The ancient Arabs are fascinated with this sexual organ, and this interest extends even on the Arab fiction tales that explicitly depicted a number of sexual encounters and the resulting male dominance in sex thanks to the penis’ size and power. It is even said that the well-known penis technique called ‘Jelging’ is thought to be of Arab origin. This technique was even the subject of a comprehensive study in the 1970s by Dr. Brian Richards, and the study focused on the effectiveness of the procedure. The research was subsequently published by the British Journal of Sexual Medicine and the research showed positive results for 87 percent of the group that was tested. The only limitation of the procedure as noted by the research is that the overall growth of the organ is not that substantial and the procedure takes time. For this reason, it has been recommended that a combination of stretching exercises and the use of penis extenders should be adopted in order to get the best results, in limited time.
Rome
The ancient Rome and Greece are also fascinated with penis stretching and this can be seen in some ancient references to the preparation of the organ and this is done by placing a heavy burden on the sexual organ. There is also a reference to the use of a heated massage in order to extend the penis. There are also references on penis exercises for young boys that can help them add length and girth to their sexual organs.
Egypt
Ancient manuscripts also point to the pre-Egyptian dynasties’ fascination with penis stretching. The manuscripts detail the crude experimentation on the penis of the slaves. The weight hanging method was the common method here, and was common for many pharaohs during that time. But the researches that were made suggest that weight hanging is not a safe method when it comes to penis stretching. Though the penis may eventually increase in length over a period of time, the thickness of it actually decreases. And depending on the choice of the weight, the blood circulation in the penis will be affected, which can lead to death of the tissues or necrosis.
India and the South East Asia
The Indians, especially the Indian Sadkhus tribes were known for a more efficient way of stretching their penises. Based on records, the men achieved better results by hanging stones onto their penises with the use of grass of lianas. Through the use of heavy stones, this extended the tissues of the penis with equal force throughout the length of time that the stones are left hanging. The same concept applies to the African Neck Ladies. They were successful in increasing the size of their necks by 50 percent, and this is done by applying small amounts of pressure to the targeted part of the body.
Africa
In Africa and South America, penis stretching has been widely performed, together with lip and ear stretching. This is part of their culture and still in practice for the past centuries. For some tribes in Africa, stretching of the necks is popular. One can still find pictures of women in Africa with rings on their necks. The tradition for these tribes start when the girls reach 6 years old, and the wearing of the golden rings will continue until they reach 20 years old. This practice is also true for the women from the Mursi Tribe from the Omo Valley in Southern Ethiopia, and on their part they wear traditional lip disks. These are work as a reminder of their woman status in the society. If larger disks are worn, then the sexual maturity and sexual status are higher as well. Over a period of time, the women of the Mursi Tribe can pull their lips up to their heads.
South America
The Suya Tribesmen from the Amazon are also known for their use of extension but this time, they do this for cultural and spiritual reasons. The men used to pierce their lips and ears when they are young and when they get old, the stretching of the lips and ears continue and sometimes the practice extends these body parts to over 300 percent or more.
From Arabia to South America, it’s clear that there are historical evidences that suggest the use, successes and effectiveness of a number of penis stretching methods and techniques and the use of devices. And though the different types of penis extenders and the concept of persistent traction devices like the extender may not trace a long history, you can count on manual stretching and jelging as two of those procedures with rich history, stretching back for thousands of years.
Penis stretching is nothing new
As you can see, mans desire to increase the size of his penis has been around for thousands of years and men have been using penis extender devices for many years. The main difference now is that high quality medical penis extenders are available and they are much safer and more effective than ever.
