with all the money (billions I would guess) going into implants for bigger boobs, why has the med profession come up with a implants for the males? I cant believe that the female is more vain than the male and the male stiffy might actually be usefull.
hasn’t hasn’t hasn’t …
it should say “why hasn’t the med profession…”
sorry. I am a boob. (is it ok to call yourself names here? I know you can’t call others names even if they beg for it)
In the future, you can just edit your orig. post.
It’s not a vanity issue, IMO, but simply an “I don’t want my willie cut open and augmented” issue. How many men that you know would deal with that kind of pain?
Actually, penile implants have been around for quite a while. They are usually intended for performance, however, rather than size. Whereas as woman changes her appearance with an augmentation, a man would not (generally) change his appearance–and it would do him little good in “attracting” women, given the way in which men dress, other than at the beach anyway. ( [hijack] No, Stash! The sausage goes in the front of your swim trunks. [/hijack])
Generally, the penile implants are used when a man has a direct physical disability the prevents an erection. The surgery is rather risky and the condition that “justifies” it is rather rare, so it is not common.
There is also the ego issue. While we have gotten to the point where women will actually discuss augmentation (just as they openly discuss hair color where 60 years ago “peroxide blonde” was a significant insult), a man who mentions that he has had an implant is declaring to the world that he “couldn’t perform.”
We don’t allow that feature here, and in all likelihood, will never allow it. Us mods can edit posts, and usually will, if a poster e-mails us to ask, but it’s usually not worth it just to fix a misspelling.
Of course, Cecil also did an article on penile implants, among other things.
so after reading Cecil’s column, I gather the answer to my question is that there isn’t anything available to enlarge similar to the breast implants. I didn’t know that. I thought the answer was the male ego vs the female.
In fact, there are male “breast implants.” They just call them something else:

I thought the whole point of those breast implants was to enlarge the male’s penis. At least that’s how it works with me. 
Well, justinh, Cecil sort of hinted at the answer in his column: The penis is a pretty complex appendage. And then there’s simple geometry.
A breast is basically fat and some glands, covered by skin. Pretty simple. And it’s an (approximate) hemisphere that is situated on an (approximate) planar surface, the pectoral muscle. Thus, it’s a pretty easy matter to stuff some stuff underneath all that, or optionally under the muscle itself. Voila - bigger looking (if not always natural looking) breasts.
A penis, on the other hand, is both a sexual organ and the outlet for your body’s wastewater treatment plant. There’s a complex structure of spongy tissues, arteries, and veins to allow the penis to become erect for sex, and flaccid when not in use. And it’s an (approximate) cylinder. You can’t just stuff more stuff in the penis - you’ll interfere with the sponge, or the veins, and it won’t become erect anymore. You also run the risk of interfering with the flow of waste water. And even worse, if you just cram stuff into a cylinder, it will tend to collect in the middle and make the cylinder change to look more like a sphere. If you just try to stretch out the cylinder, you again have the problem of mucking up the works. With all these challenges, chances don’t look good.
There have been a few things people have tried, with iffy results. Some men have had cellulose injections in the shaft to make it thicker, but these tend to be puffy-looking, lumpy, and again, you have the cylinder-wants-to-be-a-sphere problem. Plus it’s only temporary; the body absorbs the cellulose. Also, there was a technique licensed by the government a few years ago where plastic surgeons cut a pair of tendons at the base of your penis. Simply put, this works on the principle that you were having your penis cut away from your body a smidge. It got a lot of attention at first, but that wore off because all it really accomplished was to make your flaccid penis look bigger. I don’t know if this is still offered - I heard a few cases of men rendered functionally impotent from the procedure.
And besides I think most men agree with me when I say, “I don’t want anybody slicing my penis unless it’s a medical necessity!”
No one should obsess about making his penis larger, but some do. According to the best surveys available (I’m not claiming much validity, but it’s all we have to go on) the vast majority of men, like 90%, are all within an inch of each other in length.
If you are statistically unfortunate, well, then… let me put it this way: You can either have a big one or one that swells and feels. We don’t yet have the technology to make one that does both. My advice is to become extremely proficient at cunnilingus.
Or get breast implants.

Darnit, I forgot to mention nerves.
There are very important nerve endings at the far end of the penis. The nerves that get their sensations to the rest of you are only as long as your penis.
And no one has figured out how to mend a severed nerve, much less install an extension.
There you have perhaps the biggest challenge to true cosmetic penis enlargement, giving the results most men would expect. (What good is a horse-sized wang if it doesn’t feel anything?)
So, if anyone is really motivated to invent such a thing, study the human nervous system on the cellular level. Find a way to promote nerve growth. If you can get that to work, there’ll be a lot of men happy with pumping their scrotum for an erection.
