> [@Machine\_Elf](#): > > It’s been available for a long time as a treatment for impotence. But for some reason, people decided that swallowing a little blue pill was much less traumatic than actually stabbing one of the most sensitive parts of your body with a hypodermic needle. Oh my God, the injection actually goes _into one’s penis_? Eww. Eww. Eww. And somebody somewhere thought this was a good idea just because a horny teenage boy sent naughty pictures to his girlfriend? Sometimes I wonder how we survive as a species. ---

We _used_ to survive by showing our penises to members of the opposite sex to attract them. 😃 ---

> [@Freddy\_the\_Pig](#): > > Oh my God, the injection actually goes _into one’s penis_? Eww. Eww. Eww. Yeah, exit-only is my personal rule of thumb. Girlfriend wanted to stick a chopstick into mine once, but I didn’t like the way that sounded. ---

I’ve never seen a two-inch long chopstick. As for how it sounds, I think it would be something like this… “AAAAIIEEEEE! AAAAaaaaarrrrgh! Oh my fucking God, stop! Stop! NOOOOO! AAAAAiieEEEEE!” But maybe that’s just me… ---

It seems to me that the ratio of jokes to outrage would be entirely different if police decided they needed photos of a 17-year-old girl’s vulva. ---

> [@Freddy\_the\_Pig](#): > > Oh my God, the injection actually goes _into one’s penis_? Eww. Eww. Eww. Yes, and it’s as unpleasant as it sounds. I’ve had it done as part of a medical procedure on a couple of occasions, but I can’t imagine someone voluntarily doing it to themselves each and every time they wanted to engage in SexyFunTimes. ---

So, two underage kids try to fuck and arouse themselves… eh, …what’s new about that… and her 30 year old Mummy does not like it, since she got knocked up when she was like 13 and couldn’t keep her knees tight? or just go… USA! USA! USA! ---

I recall John Bobbitt saying that when he did porn, his reattached member wasn’t up to porn-standards so he had to have the injection to help him perform. That guy just can’t catch a break. ---

Wow, talk about performance anxiety. Cops…what nonsense are they unwilling to engage-in ? A local cop caught some young lovers engaged in amore. He told the guy to walk away, then made the girl blow him. She saved the semen, reported him, and that cop is now in jail. Talk about a happy ending… ---
