A few things that might actually help

There's no guaranteed safe and proven way to enlarge your penis. But there are a few things you can do if you're concerned about your penis size.

• Communicate with your partner. It may be hard to break old habits or to discuss sexual preferences with your partner. But you'll be glad you did, and you may be surprised at the spark it ignites in your sex life.

• Get in shape. If you're overweight and have a "beer gut," the extra belly fat may make your penis appear shorter than it is.

  Regular exercise can make a big difference. Better physical conditioning may not only make you look and feel healthy, but also can improve strength and endurance during sex.

• Talk to your health care provider or a counselor. Feeling unhappy about the size of your penis is common. A mental health specialist or your family health care provider can help.

Many men feel better with reassurance that they are "typical." Advice about how to better satisfy their partner without resorting to cosmetic penis enlargement can also help.
