Do penis-enlargement creams actually work?

This question reads like the subject line to an email you’d find in your junk folder. And the junk folder is where emails, and those like it, claiming that a cream can have any measurable positive difference in one’s penis size, belong.

Debunking Penis-Enlargement Myths

Just like X-ray specs, sea monkeys, and a gadget that can throw your voice (if you don’t know about these, ask your dad or grandpa), creams that claim to increase your penis size just don’t work. But unlike the scammy comic book ads of old that preyed on a kids’ imagination, hokey penis enlargement emails and ads refuse to fade into obscurity. Why? Isn’t the American male population collectively smart enough not to fall for this?

The answer is simple: Supply and demand.

Believe it or not, unsuspecting and hopeful consumers appear to be purchasing bogus creams and other untested, unregulated products and fueling their persistent production.

But you might rightly say, “surely, no one is dumb enough to buy this stuff.” While the absurdity of a lotion bringing on miraculous penile growth seems like common knowledge, discussion around topics such as genitalia, manhood, and sex in general, at least in North America, are fairly taboo. So, until a boy or young man becomes comfortable enough to ask sex-related questions at home, to friends or in health class, or stumbles onto the answer on our website, chances are he isn’t going to get the right answer.

Impact on Effective Treatments

Aside from possibly giving the user a rash (or worse) and a bad case of regret, the reputation and pervasive nature of penis-enlargement creams and other bogus products makes it difficult for products that actually work — effective penis-enlargement treatments — to find their way to patients.
