The practice of hanging weights from the genitalia began around two thousand years ago with several tribes located in Africa. Some believe that this exercise goes back even as far as ancient Egypt, where the pharaohs themselves used it to increase their sexual pleasure.

Weight hanging itself is simply the method of attaching something heavy to the penis in order to stretch the tissues that make up the penis shaft.

While this technique has been proven to be effective in lengthening the penis, it has also been shown to result in diminished penile girth. This approach also deprives penis cells of a much needed oxygen supply and other nutrients often resulting in poor blood circulation.

Herbal Male Enhancement Formula Solutions

Over time, other safer and less drastic methods of male enhancement were eventually developed including the application or ingestion of herbal substances. The Chinese employed a vast selection of treatments and herbal medicines like ginseng and yohimbe, which are still used today to increase penis size and enhance sexual virility.

Today, there are a number of all-natural solutions including pills, patches and topical oils that use the same ancient ingredients to achieve natural and painless penile enhancement. In addition to their sexual benefits, these herbal treatments are also used to treat and prevent medical conditions such as tuberculosis, kidney disorders, heart disorders and diabetes.

The Development Of Penis Exercises

Another method of male enhancement developed in ancient times was the use of penile exercises. Young men in Arabic civilizations for instance, were taught specific penis exercises know as Jelq (Jelqing) as a "coming of age" ritual. Jelqing involves massaging the semi-erect penis in a rhythmic and regular fashion, thereby increasing blood pressure within the shaft and stretching the tissues.

Today there are many exercises used to develop the penis and if done regularly and correctly the results are astounding (see Penis Health Review)- [link]
