The Broken Penis
(1 January 2007)
The penis is normally strong and flexible. If it wasn't, Puppetry of the Penis would be a truly gruesome affair. But as the penis elongates during erection the tough fibrous tissue that sheaths the spongy corpus cavernosa becomes stretched thin. The first indication that something has gone wrong is an audible cracking sound. That's right, folks, you can actually hear your penis snap. The second thing you'll hear is a high pitched screaming sound coming from your mouth...

Phimosis
(12 June 2006)
Unlike with infant circumcision, no one seems to have gone to the trouble of compiling statistical data on adult circumcision, but a quick glance at medical websites reveals a sizeable medical sub-industry in adult foreskin excision.

Case after case of horror stories told in the most clinical and detached manner of men who had no idea when they woke up in the morning that they would be undergoing penile reconstruction surgery before nightfall. So, in the interests of penis conservation around the globe, I want to pass on a few simple rules, which if followed, will significantly reduce the chances of your dick being decimated...

You Put It WHERE???
(2 January 2006)
Given our predilection to play with our penises, it’s not surprising that some guys do some pretty strange things with theirs. Call them extreme penis sports enthusiasts. But of all the things (beside living creatures) that men want to put their dicks into, none excites the imagination quite like the vacuum cleaner. I mean, what guy hasn’t at least thought about what would happen if he stuck his hose down the hose and flicked the switch...
