Story link below. A regular news story but probably best to break the link in this case: [www.bangkokpost.com/news/health/321497/penis-olive-oil-injections-a-flop](http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/health/321497/penis-olive-oil-injections-a-flop). Basically, a trend has emerged in which Thai men are injecting their penises with olive oil to enlarge them. This is causing all sorts of problems, not the least of which is penile cancer. :eek: Excerpt: **“One recently underwent surgery to have his genitals removed after he was diagnosed with penile cancer. ‘I had olive oil injected into my penis 19 years ago. A friend had done it and told us about it. That friend did injections for me and two others at home,’ said the patient, who sought treatment for cancer at the Police General Hospital.”** Now I know a true friend is someone who knows where the bodies are buried. And a really true friend is someone who will help you bury the bodies. But I honestly cannot imagine being close-enough friends to ofer to inject a little olive oil into someone’s penis on a slow afternoon. And: **“[The doctor] said while it is not possible to completely ‘treat’ the disfigured penis, some patients may be able to achieve penetration again. ‘They won’t get it back 100% but they may get an erection if they did not inject the substance into the “core.” But if it turns out to be cancer, it has to be removed,’ he said.”** “Injecting into the core”?? OW! OW-OW-OW! Men, don’t try this at home. 30-40 patients a month are turning up at Police General Hospital with complications from this procedure. The mind boggles. Oh, and sleep tight tonight, heh. 😃 ---

Wait? Olive oil is carcinogenic? So much for the health claims (yeah, I know that injecting it isn’t the same as eating it, but still). Or maybe it wasn’t really olive oil (not in all cases, have seen bottles of motor oil with a “may cause cancer” warning on them), and if they did it 19 years ago, it doesn’t sound like a new trend. ---

When will men actually believe that it’s not the size that matters? I had a boyfriend years ago that was hung like a…well…you know…and he had no idea how to use it. Olive oil… Good god…:smack: ---

> [@VinylTurnip](#): > > Surprised they don’t use palm oil. Palm oil is for wankers. > [@Michael63129](#): > > … and if they did it 19 years ago, it doesn’t sound like a new trend. True. Maybe the effects are just now cumming to light. I’ve simply not heard of this until recently, and living over here, one thinks he’s heard of every perversion known to man and beast and them some. Here’s another report from earlier in the week: > **[Thailand news | Latest & Breaking News, Live, Video and Analysis -...](https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand)** > > Breaking and latest news on Thailand news coverage with opinion, analysis and in-depth special reports from the Bangkok Post - The world’s window on Thailand Love the helpful photo of a giant hypodermic needle. Excerpt: **“A 50-year-old man whose name was withheld was admitted to the police hospital for treatment because his genitalia had swollen to the size of a coconut … The man underwent a procedure to enlarge his penis at an illegal clinic about five years ago … The man’s genitals were working ‘just fine’ until about six months ago. He suffered a cut to his penis and without proper treatment the wound became infected.”** I’m curious how he just happened to cut his penis, but then I’m not sure I really want to knw. ---

Ah yes. And the story about the man who goes to the doctor and says “ **Doctor, I have an unusual problem** ”, and the doctor says “Let me guess, your penis is uncomfortably long?” and the man says “ **Yes, how did you know**?”, and the doctor says “The constant tension on your testicles causes them to secrete extra testosterone and it lowers the pitch of your voice.” So they talk it over and while the doctor explains that an unusually large penis is perfectly manageable with care and attention, the patient is steadfast in his resolve to have it shortened “ **as long as it will still work OK** ”. The doctor says that’s easily managed, he can get about three inches removed from the middle of the shaft and have the glans re-grafted onto the stump, resulting in a normal-sized penis, so the patient says “ **That’s what I want done** ”. After the surgery the man’s in a lot of pain for a while, but he makes a full recovery and stops by the doctor’s office to express his gratitude. “By the way,” he says, “what happened to the section the surgeon cut out?”. And the doctor says “ **They threw that away** ”. 😃 ---

Better than using a phone book (search for “bangkok telephone directory” penis (with quotes))
