I saw an episode of Penn
& Teller Bullshit about sex stuff last night, and it reminded me of the
whole penis enlargement ad blitz we got in the last decade. I always thought
this whole thing had to be a scam based upon insecurity and hopeful, placebo
effects, but I was not entirely sure, as I have not done a study on it. (Like
I’d want to!)
Anyway, Penn & Teller did a test, and nothing had any
effect: pills, penis pumps, exercise, etc., just like I thought it wouldn’t. (I
guess desperate people will try anything?)
And then it hit me: I think the whole penis enlargement
product market was not designed to help men get bigger penises, but rather, to
compile a database of people who have small penises, so they can inundate them
with ads for new scam snake oil products and services, or failing that, maybe as a ripe market
for blackmail.
I have no proof, like the penis enlargement products’
claims: it’s just a theory. And a theory does not have to be FDA approved, just like with unregulated supplements.
