Men's wish to change external look of penis is main indication to esthetic corrections.
The problem of penis enlargement traces its roots from ancient phallic cults. In trade and sculptural pictures of ancient Hindu prevailed males with very big penises. On Corsica Island were found phallic monuments of Bronze Age having length of 15-25cm.
Extremely big penis is the main theme of numerous Japanese “night books” used over ages as an visual stimulant. In Europe in Renaissance period in vogue were male left flypiece. D. Richards explains this phenomenon: “Penis size is very important for a man. In penis is concentrated all male great pride. In penis lives the greatest part of male “ego”.
Therefore, exists a particular cultural and social tendency for big penis worship. Research workers claim that exists huge documented information proving that feeling of disappointment caused by distress of soul, their anxieties, matrimonial problems, along with mental disorders result from ignorance and lack of exact information about sex and genital organs.
Recent years was increased popularity of penis enlargement operations and it requires statistic researches. Wessels H., et al. (1998) tried to establish mathematical relationship between penis length in rest state and penis length in erected state. According to the results, relationship between penis length in rest state and in erected state is not so great to use it for prognosis.
The increase of penile length compared with the initial size is more frank for small penises, but anyway the difference can not be considered statistically significant. The most accurate length of penis during erection can be predicted by the maximum tension.
The popularity of this kind of researches once again proves that big penis is firmly associated in public mind with domination and this certainly is an important argument in favor of a more delicate attitude to genital surgery.
