Swedish-Made Penis Enlarger Pumps Might Actually Work

It's not the size of the boat, but the motion of the ocean.


It's not the size of the boat, but the motion of the ocean. Even so, men might be able to upgrade their canoes to midsize speed boats. According to a new review of medical literature, nonsurgical methods of penis enlargement work.

Studies confirm most men seeking lengthening underestimate the size of their members compared to the average. Those looking to give nature a boost anyway do have options. Penile extenders, which stretch the penis, are the most effective, adding as much as an inch (you'll have to undergo six hours of daily pulling for four months to get the best results). Surgical procedures, however, are dangerous and have a seriously high rate of complications.

As for the Austin Powers-endorsed penis pump, it's effective to a degree. It can't elongate the penis, but it does offer psychological satisfaction to users.

Group Therapy: My Guy Has Penis Envy

This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community.

This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments!

I've only been seeing "Tim" for a short while, but he's a great guy: smart, sensitive, talented, and with a sex drive high enough to rival my own. There are two little problems, however.

One is that he has a hard time (oh, what an unfortunate choice of words) getting and maintaining an erection. The second is that even though he possesses one of the smallest members I've ever encountered (and I don't judge — I swear. I've never been a size queen), I recently discovered that he buys XXL condoms. WTF?! Putting his obvious delusions of grandeur aside for the moment, the too-big prophylactics concern me due to their poor fit and thus poor reliability

Without totally destroying the poor boy's ego, how do I address the fact that his penis is not nearly as large as he must think it is, and that it would benefit both of us for him to consider trying Viagra or Cialis or some other ED medication? Also, while he more than compensates with his mouth and hands, should I even bother continuing to see a guy if he can't leave me sexually satisfied?

Sarah Silverman Wishes Vaginas Made People Laugh

Sarah Silverman has a theory on why male genitalia makes audiences chuckle comfortably, while the female counterpart makes many of us — including her — cringe.

Sarah Silverman has a theory on why male genitalia makes audiences chuckle comfortably, while the female counterpart makes many of us — including her — cringe. When Vanity Fair asked her to name three funny things about vaginas, she said the word speaks for itself:

"Oh my God. I think just the word, the kind of instant uncomfortable factor. I think penis and vagina should be equal comedically, but they’re not. And it probably has something to do with how penises are external and dry and like an arm or an elbow. And vaginas have a whole situation — they’re like. Oh, I’m grossing myself out now. You know, like, labia majora, labia minora. Pubes."

She sure makes a persuasive argument. The potty-mouthed comedian has a new book out tomorrow, with a bathroom-themed title: The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee. In addition to her involuntary urination issues and vaginas in general, Sarah discusses her battle with depression and her comedy career. Would you like to read it?

Say What? Thomas Jane Wants to Be Looked in the Eyes

"I know now what it’s like to be a woman because I now have to say during a conversation, ‘Hey my eyes are up here!’ They don’t even know that they are doing this.

"I know now what it’s like to be a woman because I now have to say during a conversation, ‘Hey my eyes are up here!’ They don’t even know that they are doing this. They look at me like they would someone on TV – ‘No actually I can see you too, this reality thing goes both ways.' "


Thomas Jane, star of HBO's Hung, on fans who are (presumably) checking out the goods. Jane plays Ray Drecker, a washed-up athlete who decides to capitalize on his big penis and become a male escort.

Do You Prefer Sex With a Circumcised or Uncircumcised Man?

There's been a big push in Africa to get men circumcised in order to reduce their risk of contracting HIV.

There's been a big push in Africa to get men circumcised in order to reduce their risk of contracting HIV. A recent study dedicated to evaluating the health benefits of male circumcision in Uganda decided to go further and see how the practice impacted a patient's sex life. The results show that 40 percent of women said that they had more satisfying sex after their partner was circumcised. (Note: 57 percent reported no change and three percent said sex was less satisfying.)

Women credited a variety of factors for their increase in pleasure, including improved hygiene, a longer period before their partner climaxed, and an increased sex drive from their partner.

I've heard anecdotal evidence to support a wide range of opinions on the topic. Some women say sex is much better when a man is au naturel, while others are turned off by the foreskin. And some women I know don't have an opinion either way. What about you?

Are You a Size Queen?

On Sunday, HBO debuted its new show Hung , about a washed-up athlete who decides to exploit what he thinks is the one asset he has left — a big penis — by becoming a male escort. Starring Thomas Jane as Ray Drecker, Hung lets it all hang out, so to speak.

It's your turn to let it all hang out. We told you about an online dating service for the well-endowed, and although you guys weren't so keen on the idea, you had a lot to say about penis size. So let me ask you a blunt question — is penis size important enough to you that you might rule someone out if he weren't as big as you wanted? In other words, are you a size queen?

What's Up With Curvature of the Penis?

Just as all women's breasts look different, men's private parts can differ too.

Just as all women's breasts look different, men's private parts can differ too. Some are longer, shorter, thicker, or thinner. Some even curve. Since the penis is made of muscles, if certain ones are stronger than the others, it will cause a slight bend known as congenital curvature. A slight curve is normal and fairly common, and there's really nothing wrong or anything the guy should do, unless he feels pain during an erection or sexual activity. Actually some women prefer the curve, especially if it's bent upward since it can stimulate her G-spot better.

What if the bend is more severe, or the angle makes it difficult for the guy to enter his partner without it hurting? To find out read more

Yesterday you learned about Peyronie's disease, one of three common penile problems that some men have to deal with, but today I'm going to talk about Hypospadias. This condition is when the urinary meatus, the hole on the penis where urine and ejaculate pass, is abnormally positioned. It's usually just short of the tip of the penis but can be as extreme as being positioned underneath the penis or as far back as the scrotum. Hypospadias is actually fairly common, affecting approximately 1 in every 300 newborn boys (this condition is present at birth) so if you want to learn more about it, just read more
