People have always been willing to make up for their lack of knowledge with myths, which are usually made up of a mix of intuition, deduction, observation, and just plain making stuff up. Myths are stories that are based in part on what people thought they knew from the real world. Their goal is to make up for a lack of knowledge or morals.
The old saying that masturbation makes men go blind is a good example of a myth that is widely believed even though it is not true and is meant to make people act in a certain way. In fact, a Swiss doctor named Samuel-Auguste Tissot said in 1760 that his research showed that masturbation causes a noticeable loss of strength, memory, and even reason, as well as blurred vision, all kinds of nervous disorders, weakening of the sex organs, changes in appetite, headaches, and a lot of other problems. Most men today know better than to believe that, and it goes without saying.
But even grown men can be scared by the things that myths are meant to make them think about. Another common myth says that if you don't have sex for a long time, your penis or testicles will definitely get smaller. But the size of a man's penis or testicles has nothing to do with how often he has sex or anything else like that.
Myths that say the size of the penis depends on the size of another part of the body, usually the hands or feet, are also very popular. Again, there is no scientific proof that the size of the penis has anything to do with the size of any other part of the body. In fact, studies done by experts have found that there is at most a weak link between the size of a man's penis and the size of his feet. This means that the rule probably works for one man out of every hundred.
Myths that aren't as well known also have fans. Some men think that drinking water makes the penis bigger, but this is not true. Other muscles in the body can get more oxygen and water from supplements or pills, but this doesn't work for the penis. The sponge-like tissues of the Corpora Cavernosa are not meant to hold blood or any other liquid for a long time. Instead, they only do so as long as there is sexual stimulation.
Some penis-building exercises are similar to penis-enlargement exercises, but adding water to get bigger is not one of them. Penis exercises work by forcing the cells that make up the penis tissues to grow in number, using the body's own way of adapting to outside pressure. With the help of penis enlargement pills, the process of getting bigger can go faster. These pills speed up the flow of blood to the genital area and make sure the body is making enough testosterone.
In the end, everyone should know that they shouldn't believe myths. Most of them change the truth to get what they want, so you shouldn't trust them. If you aren't sure how something affects your penis size or your sexual life, it's best to ask a professional, preferably a doctor. This will show you that many stories about the penis are just that: stories.
