I think this topic has been discussed to death for the longest time, and finally someone did an official study to "confirm" the theory. Hahahahaha I just need a Chery QQ BTW. 😁 Source: https://www.carscoops.com/2023/02/surprising-absolutely-no-one-men-who-believe-they-have-a-small-penis-are-more-likely-to-want-a-sports-car/ The results seem to relate specifically to sports cars, not just luxury goods Did you know that the average male reproductive organ is 10 inches (25 cm) long? No? That’s okay, because I was actually psychologically manipulating you into wanting a sports car. That is, in effect, what researchers at the University College London, say is possible. They sought to find if there was any truth to that old adage that sports car owners tend to be compensating for dreaded downstairs deficiencies. The team, though, had to be clever, because uh… measuring this effect was difficult. As the researchers put it, “self-reported penis size is notoriously unreliable,” and, more to the point, “even an objective study of penis size and sports car ownership would also be limited in correlational evidence.” That’s because, as anyone who has ever driven sports cars knows, objective measurements are often less important than subjective experience – a Chevy Corvette is very fast until it lines up next to a Bugatti Chiron. And yet, neither makes a Toyota GR86 any less fun. But enough metaphors, the researchers decided to try and manipulate their subjects’ self-perception by giving them fake facts about penis size. The information either exaggerated or underrated the average length in order to make men feel better or worse about what was going on under the hood, as it were. So as not to put their fingers on the scale, the fake facts were presented within a larger collection of random information, and subjects were told that the experiment was looking at how people multitask online, such as when they’re shopping and browsing simultaneously. When presented with the “fact” that the average penis was 18 cm (seven inches) long – which is way longer than the actual average – the participants rated sports cars as more desirable. Intriguingly, the effects of this particular kind of manipulation were stronger the older the subject was, with those under the age of 29 not showing as much interest in fast cars. Of particular interest, though, is the finding that the penis facts seemed to have no impact on men’s interest in other luxury products. The correlation, therefore, appears to be specifically related to sports cars. People aren’t just shopping to make themselves feel better. While there are still a lot of unanswered questions in this research – like whether or not general feelings of inadequacy, in addition to genital jealousy, affect a man’s desire for a sports car – it suggests that people trying to show off in music videos should sing about hatchbacks, not C8 Corvettes.

Parents upset over penis-shaped Play-Doh toy Angry parents say Play-Doh's plastic toy looks like a dildo. Play-Doh has landed in hot water with parents after releasing a plastic toy that looks suspiciously like a sex toy. The item in question: an "extruder" tool included in Play-Doh's $20 Sweet Shoppe Cake Mountain Playset. Some parents are complaining that the device, intended for squeezing out icing onto a toy cake, resembles a penis. And it's a little hard to argue with that: http://mashable.com/2014/12/30/play-doh-dil-doh/

First penis transplant in the United States a success 19 May 2016 The first penis transplant in the US is a success. American Thomas Manning is happy to be sitting on a chair. A few weeks ago that wasn't possible. A rare penile cancer required surgery that cut off most of his penis. But thanks to a successful penis transplantation and a deceased donor, doctors expect Manning to be back to normal. The procedure was a partial penectomy, but all that was left after surgery was a one-inch stump that had the bank courier sitting to urinate, unable to sit comfortably and having to abstain from intimate relations. But a week after the successful transplant, Manning is doing better and looking forward to living a normal life. His is the first successful penis transplant in the United States. There have already been three attempts at penile transplantation. Manning's is the second successful one. According to The Guardian, the world's first transplant, performed by Chinese surgeons in 2006, failed because the patient psychologically rejected the alteration although it was a surgical success. There was no sign of physical rejection but two weeks later, the transplanted penis had to be removed. The second attempt was done in South Africa, late in 2014. It is the first successful transplant and has already yielded very positive results - the patient's girlfriend is reportedly pregnant, according to CNN. Mr. Manning's surgery took 15 hours to complete. It was performed at the Massachusetts General Hospital, starting on May 8 and lasting until the following day. The cancer was diagnosed after he went to see a doctor due to an accident. Heavy equipment struck him. His physician noticed an abnormal growth in his genitals. Manning was eventually told it was an aggressive form of cancer and must be removed via surgery. The surgery went well, although there was a complication a day after that required another trip to the surgical theater to deal with hemorrhage. Manning is doing better now and hardly feels any pain. In the next several weeks or months , he expects to fully regain urinating and even sexual functions. But Manning will likely have to take anti-rejection medication for an extended period of time. According to the Chinese pioneers, a lot of complex microsurgeries are needed to be performed in the transplantation process. It took 3 years for the USA team to prepare for the surgery. The team had to operate on five to six dead donors to learn the tissue removals and perform cadaver dissections to get a better mapping of the anatomy. “We’re cautiously optimistic, it’s uncharted waters for us,” said one of the surgeons, Dr Curtis L Cetrulo, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, who estimated the surgery to cost around $50,000 to $75,000. Mr Manning’s bill was paid by the hospital and doctors did not charge him. Dr Dicken Ko, team leader and director of the hospital’s regional urology, explained the hospital will only handle one patient at a time. He added that the surgery is currently offered to cancer and trauma patients, not to transgender people. Penile transplantation is part of an experimental research programme which aims to help combat veterans with pelvic injuries, cancer patients, and accident victims. In the US, suicide rate among war veterans whose genitals and urinary sections have been damaged is high. Dr Cetrulo mentioned these victims are mostly between 18 to 20 years old. He said these men feel hopeless for missing out on intimate or sexual relations, so a penis transplant would address their pyschological hardship and could be lifesaving. But before the team can actually operate on veterans, they will perfect the surgical method on civilians first. MIMS ______ Personally, I cracked up when I read the name of the doctor: "Dr DICKen"

Got hope liao S. African man with transplanted penis to become a father https://sg.news.yahoo.com/african-man-penis-transplant-become-father-093320025.html A South African man who received the world's first successful penis transplant is to become a father just months after undergoing surgery, his doctor said Friday. Urologist Andre van der Merwe, who led the team that performed the operation, told AFP that the 21-year-old's girlfriend was pregnant. "He said that she is about four months pregnant. They are very happy with it and we also very happy," said Van der Merwe, who is based at Stellenbosch University. "We are happy that there were no complications and his penis is functioning well," he said. There was nothing preventing the patient from having children because his testicles, where sperm is produced, were not affected. Van der Merwe has previously admitted surprise at the speed of the man's recovery of sexual function however, saying the original goal was that "he would be fully functional at two years". The man, whose identity has not been revealed, received his new penis from an organ donor in a nine-hour operation on December 11 at Tygerberg Hospital in Cape Town. His own penis had to be amputated three years earlier after a botched traditional circumcision. The procedure, which often leads to disastrous infections and complications, is performed on boys and young men as a rite of passage to adulthood in some rural parts of South Africa. "These young men don't have a penis so they have to sit to urinate, so the first objective is to make them be able to stand to urinate, like other men do," Van der Merwe told AFP. "Secondly the objective is for them to have normal sexual intercourse if and when they want, so the second objective was met," he added. "He's got a normal sensual penis. His sensation has recovered 100 percent at this stage, and he has got normal erections and he is sexually active. "We can say that the third objective -- to conceive a baby, or for him to be able to conceive with his partner -- has (also) been met." Van der Merwe said he had not examined the man's partner but had no reason to disbelieve that he had impregnated her as he was a "stable young man" and had been in a relationship with the woman for a number of years. He said his team had been inundated with requests from men who have had similar amputations but could not take everyone. "Right now we have about nine people on our programme," he said, pointing out that finding penis donors would be one of the challenges, as with any other organ. "I don't think it would be easy but I believe people will now come forward because of this positive case," he said

Wow, this takes EAT to a whole new meaning. Hyena eats man's penis in Zambia LUSAKA (AFP) - A Malawian man has been left without a penis and is missing three toes after they were eaten by a hyena in a Zambian border town, a local hospital said Wednesday. Chamangeni Zulu, in his early twenties, was discharged from the Chipata General Hospital this week, a senior nurse told AFP. "He was discharged on Monday after the relatives requested that he should be transferred to Muchinji in Malawi," said Sister Precious Matongo, referring to a town just across the border. "They should be constantly cleaning the wounds but he is stable," she added. Local media reported that Zulu sacrificed his body parts after being told by a traditional healer that it would help him become rich.

http://www.theage.com.au/world/penis-prank...0608-1frml.html England has the Cerne Abbas giant and the Uffington White Horse, Peru has the Nazca Lines and now a Waikato school, rather unfortunately, has been captured with its own aerial art - six giant phallic symbols. The prank at a Hamilton school has been caught by satellite and immortalised on an internet map potentially seen by millions around the world, stuff.co.nz reports. The satellite picture, taken in May 2009, shows six phallic shapes etched into the grass at Fairfield College, with two by the car park particularly gigantic. Advertisement: Story continues below How many can you spot? Click here for a satellite view. The Fairfield phalluses would no doubt have eventually passed into the twilight of sniggering schoolboy folklore had they not been snapped from space and used to compile the Google map used by millions of web browsers daily. David McQuoid was searching for a property when he came across the surprising snaps. "At first I thought it was a large piece of art work." But acting principal Gerhard van Dyk was not amused and said he would like to have caught the culprits. Unfortunately, the incident had happened on a weekend. By Monday, Mr van Dyk said the caretaker became aware of some of the grass dying, as the x-rated crop circles popped up around the school. It was the prank that kept growing as the grass completely died away and the crude creations of the "artists" were revealed. "There's not really much we could do about it," he said. "The caretaker took some more weedkiller and tried to camouflage it a bit." The rest of the grass was killed, but it was a few months before the rude renderings disappeared. But by then an eye in the sky had snapped these images - which the Times has chosen to cover. Mr van Dyk said he would contact Google. A spokesperson for the internet giant said the Earth images came directly from satellite pictures, unlike the Google Street View shots, which could be blurred for privacy reasons. Netsafe executive director Martin Cocker said he had heard about similar instances of people trying to find infamy but things hung around a lot longer on the web.
