Penis Extenders: Essential Facts
It’s impossible to ignore the clinical evidence supporting the effectiveness of penis extenders.
Over the last few years, reams of medical research has shown men achieving whopping penile length increases of around 30 percent with consistent use over 3 – 6 months.
What’s more, this isn’t skewed evidence presented by the manufacturers themselves in an attempt to legitimize their products.
Instead, these are independently performed studies published in leading peer-reviewed medical journals including the British Journal of Urology and the Journal of Sexual Medicine (you’ll find more on this medical research below).
In turn, this encourages two independent physiological processes to kick in, both of which stimulate permanent penile growth:
Firstly, penis extenders help to stretch the ligaments (called the suspensory and fundiform ligaments) at the bottom of the penile shaft.
This is vital to the enlargement process because by stretching the ligaments, a portion of the 4 – 6 inches of penile shaft that usually hides inside the body can be gradually pulled forward into view.
If you don’t believe how much of your penis is hidden inside your body, just have a poke behind your scrotum the next time you get an erection. You can easily feel how much of the penile shaft is hidden away there.
In fact, you may already know that penile lengthening surgery involves cutting these ligaments – a procedure that works better in theory than in practice.
One of the many problems faced by men who opt for surgery is that during healing, a build up of scar tissue tends to create a ‘false ligament’ which pulls the penis back inside the body.
But as the medical data has shown, cutting the ligaments is unnecessary. Thanks to their natural elasticity, the ligaments possess a significant capacity to stretch, whilst maintaining full functionality.
As a result, penis traction seems to produce in practice what surgery only achieves in theory – an effective elongation of the ligaments, which encourages a gradual exposure of the hidden penis and consequently, a visible increase in penis length.
Hyperplasia occurs as tissue attempts to better compensate for the additional stress it’s placed under.
Of course, we’re all aware of how resistance training exploits the process of hyperplasia to result in increased muscle mass. But hyperplasia isn’t just confined to the stimulation of muscle growth. In fact, all tissue types are equally susceptible to the process – even bone.
To that end, it’s a physiological response that’s often exploited by orthopedic medicine – where surgeons apply traction to gradually straighten or lengthen the limbs of patients suffering from growth deficiencies or abnormalities.
Fortunately of course, the penis doesn’t contain bone, which makes it a great deal more susceptible to positive growth through hyperplasia.
Because these studies were ‘peer reviewed’ i.e. they were scrutinised by third-party doctors, we can be pretty confident that the results are both unbiased and accurate.
One of the first detailed studies to examine the effectiveness of penile traction was conducted by a Danish physician Dr. Jørn Ege Siana in 1998.
The study, which has been corroborated by a series of subsequent studies, was initially published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
This 24 week trial, which involved 18 men from their 20’s to their 40’s using the SizeGenetics (product overview) penis extender, recorded the following results.
Going by these results, a man with a typical 6.4 inch penis could expect to increase his erect length to 8.26 inches.
In percentage terms, that would endow him with a bigger penis than 90 percent of men… a pretty good return on investment for just 24 weeks effort.

How Penis Extenders Work
Penis extenders work through a very simple principle. They apply relatively low levels of tension – usually of between 1.2kg – 2.5kg – to the penile shaft.In turn, this encourages two independent physiological processes to kick in, both of which stimulate permanent penile growth:
Firstly, penis extenders help to stretch the ligaments (called the suspensory and fundiform ligaments) at the bottom of the penile shaft.
This is vital to the enlargement process because by stretching the ligaments, a portion of the 4 – 6 inches of penile shaft that usually hides inside the body can be gradually pulled forward into view.

Cell Multiplication (Hyperplasia)
This consistent stretching also encourages a physiological process known as hyperplasia – a process whereby tissue cells multiply (increasing tissue mass) in response to physical stress.Hyperplasia occurs as tissue attempts to better compensate for the additional stress it’s placed under.
Of course, we’re all aware of how resistance training exploits the process of hyperplasia to result in increased muscle mass. But hyperplasia isn’t just confined to the stimulation of muscle growth. In fact, all tissue types are equally susceptible to the process – even bone.

Medical Trials
As I mentions above, penis extenders have been the subject of a great deal of research – so below I’ve outlined the results of two well-known, peer-reviewed medical trials.Because these studies were ‘peer reviewed’ i.e. they were scrutinised by third-party doctors, we can be pretty confident that the results are both unbiased and accurate.
One of the first detailed studies to examine the effectiveness of penile traction was conducted by a Danish physician Dr. Jørn Ege Siana in 1998.
The study, which has been corroborated by a series of subsequent studies, was initially published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
This 24 week trial, which involved 18 men from their 20’s to their 40’s using the SizeGenetics (product overview) penis extender, recorded the following results.
- An average increase of 13 percent in erect length after 8 weeks.
- An average increase of 2.8 cm (1.1 inches) in erect length after 16 weeks (1100 hrs usage).
- At the end of the 24 week trial, the average gain in erect length had shot up to 29 percent.
- Participants gained on average 1.9mm per week – equating to 4.56 cm (1.8 inches) in erect length over the entire 24 weeks of treatment.
- The biggest erect length reported in the trial came in at a monumental 40 percent.
- Average gains in erect penis girth were more modest, but still significant, at 0.75 inches.
Going by these results, a man with a typical 6.4 inch penis could expect to increase his erect length to 8.26 inches.
In percentage terms, that would endow him with a bigger penis than 90 percent of men… a pretty good return on investment for just 24 weeks effort.
