The British Journal Of Urology International is reporting that there is a new invention from Italy that adds size to the male sex organ in both the flaccid and erect states.

A study conducted Italy’s University of Turin consisted of 21 “highly motivated” male patients receiving treatment that stretched their penises every day for six months, using the devise that consists of a plastic ring and two extender rods.

According to a story in the London Telegraph, the study showed that the length of the average flaccid penis grew from 2.82 inches to 3.72 inches, according to Britain’s Telegraph.

“If these results are confirmed by further research, we propose that the device should be used as a first-line treatment option for men seeking a penile lengthening procedure,” says urologist Dr. Paolo Gontero.

However, the news from the study was not all positive, and although a 36 percent increase in penis size is quite remarkable, the report also pointed out that five of the 21 patients dropped out for various reasons, including claims of “pain and penile bruising.”
