The History and Following of the Greek God Priapus

Search the internet for a character description of the Greek God Priapus, and you’ll more often than not find a statuesque image of a unusual God, who is depicting with a large appendage.

Notably remembered as being the god of fertility, growth and health, in truth Priapus is best remembered for his graphic representations within art and his continuing influence on the male fascination with the idea of a enlarged penis.

Who was Priapus?

The son of Aphrodite and Dionysus, myth suggests that Priapus was cursed by the Goddess Hera as punishment for his mother’s beauty.

Refused admittance by the other Gods to Mount Olympus and forced to live amongst shepherds, it was Priapus’s frustration at being impotent that first led to his enlarged penis becoming permanently erect.

Destined to be impotent, ugly and foul-minded, Priapus earned his reputation for being lustful after trying to rape the nymph Lotis. Unsuccessful in this mission, Priapus’s frustration at being impotent resulted in his penis becoming permanently erect and his body, unable to move.

What was he worshipped for?

Priapus had two roles within Greek society. One as an agricultural deity who was commonly celebrated through offerings of fruits, flowers, vegetables and fish; and secondly as a god ruled by his lustful nature.

Even to this day, Priapus is more easily recognised for his enlarged penis, than for his real purposes within Greek history. Yet when you correlate his story with that of penis enlargement, it is easy to see why men have such a fascination with it today.

Where does Priapus stand in modern society?

Look back over the last 2,000 years and mans’ fascination with attaining a larger penis can easily be linked to God’s such as Priapus. Remembered for being figures of authority, power and strength, Priapus is just one of many gods’ who inspired the historical development of penis enlargement.

Woven sleeves, weights or manually putting a slit in their shaft… these are just a sample of the methods developed over centuries by African tribes and the Polynesians in their mission to elongate their penis.

Over the last 20-30 years penis enlargement methods have radical changed as various methods, including surgery, penile exercises and arguably the most successful method, penis traction devices, are very much in the forefront of the mainstream market.

It’s Not a Joke
“Hey Jack!”

“Hey Larry, what did you get up to last night… did you get it on with that gorgeous blonde babe of yours?”
“Yeah, Jack… she’s sweet…. How was the football game?

It’s times like this that sometimes a guy just wants to break down and weep, but instead he holds his head high and changes the subject and talks about the football, or the baseball, or whatever else happens to pop into his mind at that time. He’ll do anything to stop him talking about how he didn’t get it on with his babe last night.

By now you are probably asking me why. Well let me tell you about a few guys I know who have the same problem as Larry. Just like Larry, they would change the subject when their mates asked about how much sex they had, if they made out with their babe that night… or better still if they are out cruising and they see a few chicks, it’s obvious by the way one or two guys will hold back and not try to ‘get it on’ with those gorgeous babes wearing almost nothing more than a smile.

What are they hiding, you may ask? Well, being as you are reading this article, possibly the same thing you are.

You see Larry suffers from what a lot of men suffer from. A smallish penis that he is very embarrassed about. He loved his ex wife who gave up on him because he went right off sex and pushed her away. He now has a gorgeous blonde friend who he hasn’t even tried to sleep with yet. Why?

Because he is so paranoid that he will not be able to perform for her. He’s paranoid because of his small size. His penis is below average and he gets very nervous, breaks out in a cold sweat, will change the subject, find other things to do, just to avoid having to show his penis to anyone. Talking about it makes him feel ill.
Sure two people should love each other and care about each other but for some guys having a small penis, those with ‘a does size really matter’ issue, it really is a huge problem for them.

Men can not help it that they were born with a small penis; they can’t help it that they feel embarrassed all the time… But what can they do about it, is there anything these men can do and not feel like this any more?

Larry was had tried going to his local doctor, but when he got there he ran into a long lost buddy who just happened to have left town to study to be a doctor. And you guessed it; his friend was filling in for his doctor who was a way sick. Well he made up all the excuses under the sun and backed out. He told a fib that he had a swollen gland and after a small consultation, he left… without discussing his real problem…

So what was he to do? Larry was very embarrassed and now realized that he couldn’t talk to anyone about his problem, but at the same time he felt guilty because he’d already had one breakup and he didn’t want another.

Not knowing where to go or what to do he sat down in front of his personal computer and started searching for penis enlargement information. He wasn’t sure what he was searching for, perhaps a miracle but at the same time he didn’t want to take any medications for his problem.

He sat there for hours, reading all about the history of how men thousands of years ago would go to the extreme and use weights tied to their genitals to help lengthen their penis. Larry found some articles and medical information on tissue stretching and finally he came across a product that was sitting there on a health site. He wasn’t too concerned about the health site but instead decided to click on the picture of a strange contraption to see where it took him.

Larry found himself at the Vimax Extender site. He couldn’t believe it. Perhaps the answer to his problem was only click away.
Painlessly he read through every page on the site. Taking everything in including the test study results, the fact that the Vimax Extender had been clinically tested and the results… Larry kept making his way back to the results, reading them over and over again. He was impressed with what he read and for a moment he had to control himself because he felt like he should be skipping around the room. After a few moments he continued reading.

As much as he wanted to, he tried not to get too excited especially when he read the part about all the users who had followed the instruction manual had obtained an increase in penis length. 1.5 inches to 4 full inches after only four months…
Four months, that wasn’t that long at all. Four months would go as quick as anything. He’d waited this long to find something to help him and suddenly he was over the moon. But he continued reading. All the way through the information that he was reading kept telling him that he needs to follow the instruction manual. Larry knew he could do it.
He read through every piece of information he could find and made a list of the things that he thought were important:

It works.
Results won’t go away… the changes are permanent.
3-4 full inches in length.
Increase… girth…
Money back guarantee…
Need to use for 3 – 6 months… ok!
These few notes were important to him, but then he continued reading and made a few more, so that he could prepare himself…
Don’t use Vimax Extender when playing football. Sex, well that’s out at the moment and I no strenuous activity…
Can’t wear or use it while drinking alcohol. I don’t take painkillers and I don’t do euphoriants.
Take care, slippery when wet and take extreme care when climbing stairs.
Can’t wear it at work…

A lot of his notes may not have made sense to others but they did to him. His heart was racing, not because he was sick but because he had finally found something that he could use and not be embarrassed by it.

Larry was impressed and happy all at the same time that this device, the Vimax Extender had been approved by real experts and it was created by a leading doctor in plastic and general surgery.

He certainly didn’t rush into ordering. Larry sat patiently reading every thing he could on the Vimax Extender website. He read all the testimonials, all about the doctor who designed the device, the frequently asked questions from which he was able to make many notes. The clinical results he was very interested in because it showed him that the Vimax Extender had been tested on people like him and it worked.

Larry was keyed up ready to make the order but he made one more important note on his pad of paper.

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL!
He knew that he had to follow the instruction manual once it arrived to make sure he got the most out of the device. Vimax Extender offers a guarantee if the length of his penis or the size of his penis for that matter doesn’t increase after using it for six months…. But Larry was confident that he had found something to help him with his small problem.
As he placed his order he promised to give me an update every two months so we can clock his progress also.
Vimax Extender is even available for guys in the back of Burke who too endure a life of being embarrassed and depressed because of their penis size. Larry has decided to do something about it, have you?

Tips for Getting a Bigger Penis

In order to achieve the best results of any penis enlargement program you want to focus on two goals: length and girth. Increasing the girth of your penis is a vital part of the whole enhancement program. It not only looks good, but generally enhances the pleasure of sex with your partner.

If you’re wondering how to get a bigger penis, then the answer is simple: a combination of stretching devices and penis exercise can do the trick for many men. Be sure to add a penis stretcher and the practice of Jelqing (jelqing is a natural, daily penis exercise workout that I’ll explain in more detail soon) to any penis enlargement program you set up for yourself.

Exercises take time, though. You have to be  patient and committed to a scheduled workout routine to see major improvements. Of course the big question for everybody is whether or not they will actually get to have a bigger penis.

The simple answer is yes. Thousands of men have already tried and can testify that exercising your penis while also using a good penis traction device is all you need to do to achieve a longer penis.

Growing your penis length and girth will have many benefits for you, and your partner. Most guys who start penis enlargement exercises don’t do it because their partners asked them to  or because they feel inadequate compared to other men. They just want to be bigger and better than they are. Who doesn’t want to feel better about themselves? Its why we go to the gym, or diet, or quit drinking.

Traction devices are safe and they work. They have been proven successful in extending body various parts for thousands of years. In reality, you can choose to extend anything at all – look to the tribe in Africa where women extend their necks because it is part of their culture.

Many people contend that the penis cannot be enlarged by exercises because the penis contains no muscle tissue, so it cannot be exercised. This is absolutely wrong. Tribe people around the world have used stretching techniques to elongate their ears, lips, necks and even penises, yes. And even today stretching is an important method in orthopedic procedures. It can force the growth of new bone tissue.

But do the penis extenders really help when it comes to adding girth to your penis?
For many men the question is not so much in gaining length, but in gaining girth. If you want to know how to get a bigger penis head, then you will be happy to find out that some extenders do work for you both ways.

Not all extenders are equal however, so when you want to shop for one, try to do your researches thoroughly and only buy superior devices that come with a whole package of instructions and exercises.

This way you will be sure you will make the most of your time and you will successfully achieve your goal, be it to have a longer or a thicker penis or both.

Penis Enlargement Information

Does the size of your penis really matter? Statistics say penis size does count.

In a recent study, the overwhelming majority of women said penis size was at least somewhat important to them:

• 18% said penis length was very important, 22% said penis girth was very important
• 57% said penis length was somewhat important, 53% said penis girth was somewhat important
• 25% said penis length was unimportant, 25% said penis girth was unimportant

The size of the penis obviously matters to women, but it is also a big part of a man’s self-esteem. While a small penis used to be something many men were ashamed of, it doesn’t have to be anymore. There are a multitude of ways that men are enhancing the size of their penis therefore improving their attractiveness to women and boosting their own self esteem.

If you’ve found this size, chances are you’re looking to enlarge your penis (or even that of your partner.) There are a few things you should know before you get started. First off, you have to have patience. Penis growth doesn’t happen over night and there’s certainly no quick fix that I know of.

Naturally, no man likes to be told that he has to be patient and the result will only show after a couple of weeks. Motivation comes hard when day follows day and the only thing you have to show for your efforts is a slightly sore penis. Still, you should know that persistence pays off results do come in time. Tissue needs time to grow and that many people experience growth spurts and plateaus and that you just need to be patient.

Most beginners, are very impatient and think that having only one penis enlargement session per day is not enough. However, scheduling two or three penis enlargement sessions per day will simply exhaust the penis and you won’t see gains faster. Penis enlargement is based on intensity and regularity, which is why performing a routine more than once per day is not as effective as doing it once, but very intensely. The tissues need time to recover and grow in size, just like muscles need to heal after a gym session. Overtraining is never recommended.

Another problem that beginners spot right away and those veterans know very well is the fact that pubic hair gets in the way of both enlargement exercises and the use of traction devices. There’s always the fear of pulling hair by mistake and causing intense pain, while some men also feel that the hair prevents them from getting a good grip on the base of the shaft. The best thing to do is to clip the hair short or to shave it altogether. No sense in struggling through a session because of the hair. Shaving is a pretty radical decision, but you can always grow it back later.

And hair is not the biggest problem. No man has full control of his penis and, therefore, no man can set it to achieve partial erections on demand. Many times, men find themselves fully erect and unable to perform exercises that require only a partial erection. There is only way of dealing with this and that is to focus on something that doesn’t involve sex (read a magazine or a book, watch TV, think about money or food) and just wait for the erection to subside a little.

And finally, don’t measure your penis too often. Frequent measuring is unlikely to show big gains and can undermine the motivation of a man engaged in penis enlargement. Always remember that it’s your penis and your sex life that are at stake and act accordingly. Rushing can undo weeks of effort and should always be avoided. Getting there is more important than getting there fast.
