One of those men topics

In this day and age when accessibility and promotion of cosmetic surgery are welcome, different types of enhancement in a woman's body are already accepted and comfortably discussed. Boob jobs. Butts jobs. Face jobs, name it. Even transsexuals seem to join the bandwagon. All of them have achieved a certain level of normality. So, is penis enlargement any different?

I've seen penis enhancers in cable commercials before. It comes in pills, workout videos and some vibrating machines that make you wonder if it really does do the work. We have to face the fact that penis enlargement may not be as popular as boob enhancement though. But the concept and the reasons behind these two gender-defining cosmetic jobs are the same. It's for added sexual pleasure and to boost attractiveness to the opposite sex or same sex for that matter..

But I've got a lot of questions...I mean a lot....


First, the operation involves cutting of the ligament connecting the penis to the pelvis. And to achieve girth (width), certain fatty implants from lower abdomen and ribs are used. Just a question, does the operation require the penis to be erect? If yes, well, is it possible to hold it in that position in a few hours? Or if not, well how could they...you know...test it if it's a success or not? Do they have to come back after three weeks, watch a video with a ruler, or submit a feedback form filled up by their sexual partner?


Second, healing process involves bruising, swelling, no sex (of any kind) and no intense walking activities for at least 3 weeks. Healing, it's a given. Bruising, yes sure. No sex, well...what's 3 weeks..think long-term. No intense walking activities, well, just don't make it look so obvious or people would think you're suffering from hemorrhoids. And I'm sure they have to endure wearing some sort of bandage-brief.

Third, possible effects may be scarring and infection. Unfortunately, it doesn't effect sensitivity. Can you imagine if it did? Should the sensitivity factor be more considered than just added length?

Fourth, claim to fame is at least a half an inch or an inch additional length. But according to a report in Manila Standard. "However, a research conducted by St. Peter’s Andrology Centre and Institute of Urology in London from September 1998 to January 2005 of 42 men who received penile enlargement surgery found that only 70 percent of the patients were dissatisfied with the outcome of surgery. These subjects reported embarrassment and anxiety when changing in front of others as well as disappointment due to unrealistic expectations. Dr. Tica notes that a patient needs to undergo a test to check if he is psychologically balanced."

Bottomline is to just be realistic, choose a reputable doctor, and be mentally stable.

Lastly, cost is at 100,000 pesos. For half an inch?!!!


Really now, would that incur so much difference? It's insane. Like any other cosmetic enhancements or surgeries, this is plain vanity. But who cares, it's not your money anyway, it's not your penis either that's on the operating table. Who knows, maybe that half an inch may be a mile of curing ones insecurities and achieving optimal pleasure for the partner right? Well, analyzing it, penis enhancement isn't bad at all. It boosts confidence and erases insecurity plus you're doing the 'giving' to your partner. You cure yourself and you offer pleasure to others. Wow.

And by the way, men seldom disclose their whatever-insecurity about their manhood. I mean, pretty much, they're comfortable at building it up as it is. So I wonder, men, who actually ponder going under this procedure, must really feel....small, unless they're a big porn star wannabe. But then again, I find this all too fascinating.
