Keep that olive oil out of your willy.

Size-obsessed Thai men warned on penis injections

Fri May 13, 4:26 AM ET

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's health ministry warned size-obsessed men on Friday to avoid trying to enlarge their penises with liquid injections, saying it could cause deformities.

The warning followed media reports that male teenagers in central Thailand had rushed to have their penises injected with olive oil or other liquids.

"Injecting olive oil or any liquid into penises is extremely risky," Chatri Banchuin, chief of the Department of Medical Services, said after his office issued the public warning.

"By the time they know what actually happened, it is too late," he told Reuters. The practice of injecting liquids -- everything from paraffin to lubricant gel -- has gone on for decades, surgeons say, but their patients are getting younger.

"More and more patients are school age boys, not men in their 30s or 40s like in the past," said urologist Wachira Kochawkarn of Bangkok's Ramathibodi Hospital.

"At my hospital alone, I treat one or two patients a day who have such problems. Imagine the total number across the country?"

The public health warning issued earlier week urged men to be happy with their natural size.

"Sex satisfaction does not depend on penis size, but it involves love and mutual understanding," the ministry said.

Wow. Way to live up to your stereotypes, man! Do they do a bunch of math and rule at MMORPGs before or after they shoot their tiny penises up?

rofl. Funnier coming from a known female.

I just typed "known female," didn't I?

[voodoolily]

I am a known female. God, that rules. Seriously, though, I'm surprised they're not using cocnut milk or bear gall bladder juice or cobra venom. Olive oil seems a little pedestrian.

At least they aren't skinning little boys.

Aren't there easier ways to make $23? Like...working a morning in an office? Risk v. Reward for skinning a kid seems low.

God, Africans are really letting me down today. First the Angolan little witch girl, now Tanzanian sorceror's charm boys. I mean, fucking sorceror's charms?!

If the price of killing and skinning children is $23, I'm pretty sure I can buy the whole country with a week's salary.

Apparently the average monthly income there is $73.60 adjusted to American. They roughly make in a year what we make in a week.

If I ever get the urge, I know where I'm hunting humans.

[voodoolily]

Still, that means they're killing kids for the equivalent of a coupla hundy (American). That's really desperate.

No, he said HUMANS.
