> But it's not this shit in the name of youth and beauty.

Yeah its shit in the name of a bigger biceps and a bigger junk, I don't see how that is any better?



Women get surgery to get bigger boobs, primarily as a looks thing.

Are we at the stage of inserting silicone in your junk so your jock strap looks better?

(Please note you can just pad your bra if you want to look busty fully clothed. And it leaves scars, so I'm skeptical of the value it has for looking good naked or in teeny, tiny bikinis.)

Yes. Packers exist. Also Synthol is oil injected into your muscles to make them look better.


Can someone point me to an informative source for "packers"?

Searching "packers for your junk" or "penile implants" doesn't get me anything that sounds like it's what this comment is referring to.

Please and thank you.


Appologies, I glossed over the word "into" from your comment. Packers are not implanted. Penile implants exist but are typically done for medical reasons (like you've fucked up your junk by jelqing). The closest thing to female breast implants is male pec implants. I'd argue Synthol is similar too, though less invasive.

Yes? People do get penis enlargement surgery, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis_enlargement#Surgical_met... or phalloplasty which has a Wikipedia page I'd rather not link here.

Not really a fair comparison to breast augmentation though, which is more similar to the plastic surgery muscles some people get. Or hair plugs.

While I think it's much worse for women, acting like it only affects women is disingenuous.


At the risk of being more hated on:

My general understanding is that phallus enlargement is intended to enhance sexual pleasure whereas breast enlargement has no such function and from what I gather likely reduces sexual pleasure for the woman.

But I don't have a phallus, haven't seen one in ages and I'm perfectly happy to be educated on the topic by actual penis-having peoples more in the know than little ole me.


I know one of the major risks of enlargement is impotence, and like with breast enlargement I can't imagine jamming a bunch of non-nerve things in there improving sexual pleasure.

I'm no expert on the subject, but I've always thought people primarily got them to look better with maybe some hope of performing better for their partner. I've never thought they were for their pleasure, except in the same way as breast enlargement where you enjoy pleasing your partner.

Still, I think a better comparison is "men get hair treatments, primarily as a looks thing."
