Cambodian Men Warned Not To Inject Hair Tonic Into Their Penises

[matcom]

<snip>

Authorities in Cambodia warned men on Tuesday against do-it-yourself penis enlargement treatments, in the aftermath of a case in which a man killed himself because of the side-effects of a botched enlargement attempt.

The man reportedly had been injecting hair tonic into his own penis – but the side effects were so agonising that he hanged himself to end the pain.

The hair tonic was advertised as giving thicker and more lustrous hair. It did not have the same effect upon the man's penis.

Instead, the injections caused massive, excruciating ulceration of the phallus.

The details of the case were released to the public in an effort to warn other Cambodian men against trying anything similar. Officials cautioned that they believe this was not an isolated case.

2. They need warnings for this?

Do they need warnings not to slam the thing in a car door, or stick it in a fire ant nest? I'm sorry but if you can't already figure THAT ONE out by yourself without needing an official warning, then you are way too stupid to find a woman that will actually let you use it.

4. Saw a fella that had done that with saline....

to his penis AND the family jewels....

He was walking around in white lycra shorts and getting lots of attention. Whatever floats your boat, but as for me- needles are strictly prohibited from "that area" as far as I'm concerned....

8. Even if it had worked, would it have had the desired effect?

He might have just gotten a furrier penis. Still, it's a wonder just how far some people will go.
