Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com

The average length of the penis varies from 2.5 to 4 inches in the flaccid state and 4.5 to 6.5 inches in the erect state with a one-inch diameter. Studies recommended flaccid penis length of fewer than 1.6 inches or an erect penis of fewer than three inches should be considered for treatment. Longer sizes will not make females happy they will cause discomfort. Like the glans penis is sensitive for males, the female sensation will be in the outer part 2 inches. A bigger penis or small penis does not affect making a female happy. The male gets an erotic sensation in the glans penis another part (shaft) of the penis will not erotic stimulus. The only best method for increasing size is surgical (liposuction around the pubic bone, skin graft), injecting fat into the penis, or injection of HA into the penis Inflatable penile prosthetics are helpful if the size is less than 3 inches. Other methods to increase size but very little chance of improvement you can only try. Jelqing is an exercise method that is a natural way to increase the size of the penis. Hand-over-hand rolling motion to move blood to the head of your penis and stretch it like milking safe method but, can cause pain, irritation, or scar tissue formation if you do it too often or aggressively. The stretching method involves attaching a stretcher or extender device to the penis traction device to the penis to exert gentle tension. You can use the penis enlargement pump once a morning after or before a bath. Vacuum pumps draw blood into the penis, making it swell, they are used for treating erectile dysfunction. The vacuum pump can make a penis look larger temporarily. But using one too often or too long can damage elastic tissue in the penis, leading to fewer firm erections. Use massage oil once a day by massage (except the glans penis) before bath for three months.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
