A recent Italian study showed that penis extender may become an effective method of penis enlargement, increasing penis size by more than a third. Do such penis enlargement devices really work and improve your sex life?

Scientists discovered that watermelon has an effect similar to well-known drug Viagra. The positive effect is attributed to an ingredient citrulline found in watermelons.

Just like Viagra, citruline in watermelon activates the production of a compound that helps to relax blood vessels. The compound, found in the flesh and the rind of the juicy fruit turns into arginine when it reacts with enzymes of the body. Arginine is a natural amino acid that reduces risk of heart disease, decreases blood pressure, and improves circulatory and immune function.

Men who regularly used penis extenders for around six months can expect to have their penis enlarged by more than 30 percent, a new study says.

The Italian research at the University of Turin, Italy enrolled 21 men with an average age of 47, who took part in one-year study. Dr Paolo Gontero, an urologist and the author of the study, said that the volunteers also underwent psychosexual counseling to ensure better results.
