Okay, so pills like Bloussant have started to come into vogue, and it’s nigh impossible to go a day without getting Spam advertising pills to enlarge your schlong. I’m not too concerned with how these “miraculous” drugs work so much as I have an idle curiosity…

The penis-grower pills say they can add 2-3 inches in a matter of a couple months. Well, what if you keep taking the pills? What if you keep taking the pills for a decade, or more? Would you end up with a penis that’s ten feet long? I know it’d be impossible to get it up with a boner that large (not enough blood in the human body), but still, there’s probably somebody who’s going to try it.

Same thing with the boob pills. Can one just keep taking them and wind up with knockers that are six feet wide each?

I can answer this one. For each week after the stated time period, your penis or breasts (often both!) will grow exponentially more than it did during the intial drug program. For example, it your penis grew x inches during the initial period, it will grow x^y with y being some insanely large number. This is only an approximation- if you are in puberty and your schlong or boobies are still growing as nature intended then the growth above is that above and beyond what nature would have done without the pills.

PC  
P.S.- The value for x can be arrived at by taking a ratio of the circumfirence of your penis or boobs (combined) and multiplying by zero.

YMMV

I thought the consensus was that the penis-grower pills didn’t actually work? The boob pills are probably just estrogen or a similar hormone.

I’ll take a crack at answering the second case.

Yes, you will eventually end up six feet wide, assuming your druggist mistakenly put weight gain pills in the wrong bottle.

I always figured the most any of the pills would do would be to cause the taker to retain water, which, _if_ it was localized to either of the areas of concern _might temporarily_ give the _appearance_ of growth.

Beyong that I just don’t believe it.

…or they just shrink the rest of you so that your penis/boobs appear larger…

Yes they’ll make your penis larger but it hurts like a bitch putting the pill in.

All right, so my fears about being attacked by Dicksizer addicts and their yard-long schlongs are completely baseless, then… phew!!! Although it is a bit saddening to know that I’m never going to face the wrath of giant boob monsters, but I’ll get by somehow…

(And Odieman… you’re on my list…)

geez… no one seriously answering it. 😛

i’ve only heard that the pill works temporarily for the breast enlargement. as for the penis, i have no idea.

i do know you can enlarge penis by stretching it or surgically cutting a “tendon” in quotes cuz it has some other name that I can’t recall.

Hmmm. Even Luba’s breasts (from the comic book _Love & Rockets_) had to stop growing sometime. Figure there’s an inverse curve at work. The longer you take it, the less additional effect is possible from each dose.

oops, the last part of my answer failed to show up?! must’ve deleted by mistake when i copy and paste it.  
bloussant will not enlarge breasts beyond a certain size.  
penis enlargement from above mention method has a very finite limit of like a few cm at most.
