Whether it’s in porn, locker room talk, or the insults of an angry environmentalist, boys and men are told one thing, ‘bigger is better’. Yes. The toxic culture that told women and girls that smaller and thinner is better, sings a different song to its men and boys… We are told bigger means better sex. It means happier relationships; more money, faster cars, and better ‘energy’. It is praised by Greta Thunberg and your average red-pill-bro alike: bigger is better. But it isn’t. Bigger only *seems* better, because of the type of culture we’re all wrapped up in. So it’s no surprise that to get bigger, men are willing to risk bigger; using vacuum pumps, hanging weights, snipping the suspensory ligaments, and using inflatable prosthetics. Pumps, pills, fillers, weights, injections, exercises… an industry of insecurity arrives, slinging dangerous and ineffective new fangled contraptions. But now a new option has arrived, from the so called ’Thomas Edison of penis surgery’… …a surgical device called the @realpenuma The claims are big too. But behind the same slick advertising are the same broken promises, followed by the same tragic tales of incredible pain, and suffering. A catalogue of horror stories, and another industry dedicated to fixing the mess. So what is happening to our men? How do we regulate this growing market, and most of all, how do we reassure our men and boys that bigger is not better? ~ Images by Charles Deluvio, Codioful, Black Kiwi Hug.
