Do you want a gold-plated penis enlarger?

Saudi man buys gold and jewel encrusted penis stretcher

A Saudi Arabian business man has purchased what some are calling the "Rolex" of penis stretchers.


The unidentified man who is only known to live in Jeddah, custom ordered a solid 18 carat gold penis enlarger, valued at over $50,000, from Canadian male enhancement company, X4 Labs, report AFP.

The company is calling the purchase record breaking, labeling it the most expensive male enhancement tool in history.

"It's an unusual request," co-owner of X4 Labs, Rick Oh told AFP. "We didn't take it seriously at first, but once he sent us a deposit, we had to agree to it."

Penis Extenders Proven To Work

Doctors confirm the penis extender can increase the flaccid length of a penis

Many men long to have something longer, even though few have a penis that is too small to copulate or pleasure their partner. This anxiety over size is called penile dysmorphophobia, and it is on the rise worldwide as men turn to pornography and compare notes.

Data is hard to come by, but the general consensus is that the average flaccid length is about 3 inches, with a range of about 1 to 4 inches, and that the average erect length, regardless of flaccid size, is between 5 and 6 inches.

The feeling of inadequacy, usually unfounded, has led many men to consider surgery or crazy-sounding items like the aforementioned penile traction. Surgery is so risky and comes with such high dissatisfaction rates, however, that most urologists would not consider this an option for anyone with an erect size of more than 3 inches.

With hopes of finding a safe, non-surgical method to increase the penis length of men with less than 1.5 inches flaccid or 2.75 inches stretched (a proxy for erect), urologist Paolo Gontero and his colleagues at San Giovanni Battista Hospital at the University of Turin, Italy, decided to test claims made by one commercial vendor of a penile extender.

Gontero's group recruited 15 "highly motivated" men, according to the journal article, and instructed them to use the penis extender for six months. Per the manufacturer's instructions, the men gradually increased the traction force during this period from 1.3 pounds to 2.6 pounds. The gains were greatest in the first months and then leveled off.

All gains remained six months after the contraption was put to rest. The men gained on average 0.9 inches in flaccid length, a 32 percent gain, and about a half-inch in stretched length to 4.45 inches, which could imply a slightly larger erection.

"The magnitude of gained length was similar irrespective of baseline size," Gontero told LiveScience. "So the device could work also for those men who complain of so-called penile dysmorphopobia [and who] fall within the normal range — the majority — but who are strongly convinced they have a small penis."

Male Enhancement: Is it worth it?

Our email in-boxes fill up every day with advertisements for pills, ointments, supplements, and contraptions aimed at enhancing penis size, sexual stamina, or libido. It’s a testimony to men’s abiding insecurities about sexual performance. The question is, do any of these “male enhancement” techniques really work?

Richard, a mechanic from upstate New York, is a muscular, athletic guy. He has a loving wife who has always enjoyed their sex life. But ever since he was a young boy, Richard couldn’t get over the feeling that his penis was too small. In public bathrooms, he’d use the handicapped stall. He felt embarrassed in gym locker rooms and when standing naked before his wife. “I didn’t feel manly enough,” he tells WebMD.

Then, in the back of a weightlifting magazine, he saw an ad for the FastSize Extender, a device that claims to make the penis longer and fatter through traction. Richard began wearing the device almost eight hours a day, every day. He was shocked to notice a difference within a few days. After four months of wearing the device, he says his flaccid penis has stretched from 3 inches to over 5 inches; erect, he has gone from less than 6 inches to over 7 inches. The device cost $298, but Richard says the effect on his self-confidence has been priceless: “It made a world of difference to me.”
