I was kinda confused with their commercial. (I never bothered to go to any web site.)
I couldn’t tell if the product was to (1) fight erectile disfunction (i.e. giving you an erection = increase in size, like Cialis);
or (2) to increase the size (either when erect, or flacid, compared to when you didn’t use the product).
It was tough because the wording of the Enzyte and Extenze commercials are deliberately vague. You know what the goal is with Viagra and Cialis.
I assumed it was a Viagra/Cialis knockoff in some non-perscription strength (hence actually effect #1), and let the buyer assume it was going to do situation #2.
There are so many funny words for penis, and it makes “a certain part of the male anatomy” a real wasted opportunity. On the other hand I don’t think they’re saying “male enhancement.”
Judging by most of the women I know, the best way to enhance a male is to get him to stop leaving his boxers around the house and reading on the toilet.
Read an article years ago where someone took an herbal supplement of this sort and it resulted in an erection that lasted days, required draining and resulted in his penis being what amount to a limp and lifeless piece of cartilage.
:eek: If that was true, I think we’d be seeing a lot of gents walking around pushing crotch-level wheelbarrows in front of them.
I’ll wager anything the makers of these useless pills are making a ton of money. But I’d much rather watch Smilin’ Bob far as commercials go, he is VASTLY more entertaining to watch.
Got a buddy who sells them. He claims they work - that he tried them himself. No, I have not measured to check.
The ExtenZe makers aren’t afraid to claim it is penile enhancement. They have porn stars in their ad. I suspect this is more a case of TV sensitivity than any legal avoidance on their part.
ExtenZe is not to make you hard. There are other products out there that claim to do that, but not ExtenZe. They claim to make your member more memorable, your unit more u (you)*. They claim their special blend of herbs and stuff softens the blood vessel tissue so that when you get an erection, the blood vessels stretch more, allowing more girth and length. They even have a paper ruler you can use to measure (you get one with the product).
A newer product they developed is supposed to increase your ejaculate volume.
Knew a guy in the Army who actually tried this stuff. After a couple of weeks of taking the pills and then “milking” his penis (from his description, “milking” sounded very similar to methodically beating his meat) he was vastly disappointed.
A guy in my hometown, Steve Warshak, was recently convicted of fraud and money laundrering for peddling a male enhancement supplement, Enzyte. His mother was also convicted. snort Apparently he was the, er, brains behind “Smiling Bob.” He reportedly made tens of millions of dollars on them. (How stupid are people?) Note: They didn’t work.
My favorite line of the ExtenZe commercials: “And for a limited time, we’ll double the amount of ExtenZe. If they didn’t work, could we afford to do this?”
I guess people with small penises are lacking in logic, too.
It’s a business. Just because some (okay, all) its dealings are fraudulent, it doesn’t mean the judge can just tell them to close up shop.
Look at it this way: if General Motors knowingly put an unsafe car on the market and got sued, and company execs were charged and convicted of criminal negligence, they’d still be making cars the next day.
Of course, they might have to make some pretty sweeping changes to their business model.
