Wait....penis enlargement surgery EXISTS??? Why don't all men know about this??? Hang on guys, I'm going to find out what the largest penis in history has been.....and then I'm getting TRIPLE that size!!!

It's my understanding that it's more of a last case scenario kind of thing, like, most guys don't want to have surgery on their penis and it can also have complications too.

Yeah... I don't think they can add nerves or whatever tissue your the dick is made out of.... I wouldn't think the end result could be all that functional. Who gives a shit about aesthetics if you can't cum...

2

They can't add nerves, but they can connect existing ones assuming there's an effective technique for the structure (probably not when you're going for something this....inhuman)

Rumor is that's what happened to Elon's dick. Botched enlargement surgery.

I would say it's probably not worth it just because you will most likely have sensory loss and erectile dysfunction which for most would be worse than the problem its self. Theres more risks as well, but those alone sound like a nope from me.

It exists, but the complications are prohibitive for someone that isn't hit with disability level malformation. Plus, there's a limit to what it can do

For what i recall, from being chronically online:

They go in around your lil guy and release the shaft from everything around it and shift it forwards. It gives you more visibility of what exists but does not actually make anything bigger. Idk about adding anything, because i did not look into it further.

The surgery went a success but as a complication you can no longer get a boner.

There is a ligament that can be relocated to make a flaccid penis appear larger, but there is no enlargement surgery.

I just learned about IPPs (Inflatable Penile Implants) and they seem pretty cool if your penis was otherwise non-functional, but as others have said, any surgery on my penis is pretty much a last resort.

I’ve heard stories from ladies that made my eyes water. Guys they liked and decided to get physical with only to discover they were working with something roughly the size of their own clitoris. It really is an immediate dealbreaker much of the time, and you can’t blame them for wanting a functional sex life. Poor dudes really got worked by chance. I can’t even figure out how evolution has left this a possibility.

hperrinreply
lemmy.ca

Evolution works by minimizing this kind of abnormality, but it never disappears. There’s just too much variance in how our DNA works. That’s a good thing, though, because the environment is not static. Without any variance, we would have died out a long long time ago. We need to adapt to survive in new environmental conditions.

lemmy.world

It’s a good point that traits may not be useful now but could be useful later. Perhaps I just lack Imagination but I can’t visualize the change of season that’s going to make micropenis a survival advantage.

2
hperrinreply
lemmy.ca

Evolution still doesn’t work that way. If it prevents you from reproducing (like this probably would), it will be selected against, meaning it will be extremely rare (like this is), but it will never just go away unless it isn’t compatible with life (eg, missing an X chromosome).

2
scarabicreply
lemmy.world

I have trouble processing the word “never” in your statements here because evolution has consigned so much to extinction that I don’t understand why traits can “never” disappear. Can you explain why a phenotype that would prevent you from reproducing can “never” lead to a genotype disappearing entirely? Blocking reproduction seems incompatible with life to me.

2
hperrinreply
lemmy.ca

Because there are so many humans that someone’s almost definitely gonna have it. If there were like a million people, then we probably wouldn’t see many of these traits, but there are 8 billion people around. That means on average, traits that are one in a million are in 8,000 people. Traits that are one in a billion are still likely to be in a handful of people.

If it’s incompatible with life, no one will have that trait, because no one will be born with it. If it merely prevents you from reproducing, it just won’t be heritable, but the mutations/anomalies will still happen, so people will have them.

2

I see the general point, it’s just the perforce absolutism of it that I don’t get.

For example, if what you say is true and as long as a large population survives, all its genes necessarily do to, then shouldn’t there be people somewhere in some numbers that exhibit every trait in every one of our evolutionary ancestors? Even in your own examples you only go up to one in a billion, but odds do actually go lower than that.

1
lemmy.world

Sometimes it's not the thing that gives an advantage, but the thing it's connected to. Perhaps the same same gene that gives them a micropenis also makes them really fit in some other area. It's unlikely, but possible that the genetic mutation makes them immune to some devastating disease in the future. Genetics are complex.

He’s certainly less likely to die from a wild dog biting his prick off.

Sickle cell anemia is kinda like that. Carriers with one copy of the gene get resistance to malaria compared to those without it. People with two copies get the disease and are more vulnerable to Malaria than those without a copy.

I'm pretty sure the physical structure starts developing in utero before the gender is finalized...and then it becomes either a clitoris or a penis. Crossed wires, mebbe?

2

You’re right - it’s similar to how men have nipples for no reason except that they are formed before sexual dimorphism begins to differentiate a male fetus from females. In defiance of the typical MAGAt’s view that sex is fundamental, essential and entirely binary, it’s more of a vestment that each of our core selves is garbed in. The morphology of tissues being signaled by hormones, you can easily imagine that it gets tuned differently for different people.

This is actually a great example of how the majority of 'gender affirming care' is actually for a person who is already assigned at birth the gender they are affirming.

This male, who was assigned male at birth, is seeking gender affirming care to become... more male.

He doesn't need anyone to "affirm" shit, he wants to be able to take a piss.

10

And women who get breast implants after receiving a double mastectomy are simply restoring their body back to what it was, neither affirming or changing but rather 'restoring' the appearance. The category of operations received is still called gender affirming.

Anything that is manipulating the body more in line with the perceived gender is called gender affirming care.

And it doesn't even need to be surgeries. Men with low T receiving testosterone shots is a form of gender affirming care.

And yes, I read the article.

53

It's still under the umbrella of gender affirming care, as are men getting breast reduction surgery or hair replacement. If you're implying it needs to be for sex, then I don't think you understand gender very well.

I wonder if he’s tried pee funnels. They allow women to pee standing up. In fact, given how women all manage peeing I am surprised that his doctor says his only option is to wear diapers. Can he not sit and pee and make that work? Perhaps not. Inquiring minds want to know.

2

I would assume the incontinence is because he is incontinent and not because he doesn't know how to sit down, but I'm not motivated enough to look it up.

0

I don’t actually see it written anywhere that he is incontinent, as in he can’t control when he pees.

You might have thought this because the Guardian article says he must “wear diapers for adults with incontinence,” but that appears to be a descriptor of the diapers, not him.

In his GoFundMe he gets more specific:

I have a condition called Micropenis which causes me to be only 0.38 inches, which has made everyday tasks like using the restroom without making a mess is extremely difficult for me. Because of this, my doctor has advised that I must use pull ups unless I can pursue a medical procedure to help increase the size and improve my ability to urinate.

So it does sound like a physical issue getting the pee into the toilet, not general incontience.

2

why cant he just sit to urinate like half the population already do though

He said he's struggling to approach "females"...

Wo-men. How hard is it to use the humanizing word?

Edit : my preshot was correct, in the end of the article, it's reported that he sent unsolicited intimate pics and made fatphobic insults.

I commend him for publicly talking about it. I also commend him on his ability to admit his poor behavior. I genuinely hope he gets what he wants from this experience.

The surgery might be expensive, but it will save a lot of money over the years with current fuel prices, as he can go drive a normal car instead of a massive truck. More Americans should do this, especially fElon and diaper Donny.

that's the problem, it's not just the tip, it's the whole thing!

Michael Phillips said online on Thursday that he needed the procedure to improve his ability to urinate, which is difficult for him given that he is reportedly 0.38in (0.97cm) long when fully erect. Otherwise, he said he must continue to wear diapers for adults with incontinence every day.

This is a compelling reason. Let's help the guy out. Donated.

Does this qualify as gender-affirming healthcare?

24

Almost certainly. Gender affirming care also includes things like breast reduction for men, and anything else that is done to make someone appear more like the stereotypical form of a given gender. It doesn't matter if you're assigned that gender at birth either.

16

Maybe? The article says he has trouble urinating and has to wear diapers. One of the goals of the surgery is so he can urinate properly and presumably not have wear diapers any longer. So I can sympathize with him. On the other hand, it doesn't appear that the surgery is strictly medically necessary either.

Hey. This is unrelated, but, well, I see your username and icon. I figured you of all people would want to know about this if you don't already.

You just gave me the worst idea for a comic super hero.

He's a homeless guy who masterbates better than anyone on earth. And when he sprays you with cum from his 3 foot long penis, the power needed to blast his cum out, pressurizes it. So when it shoots out, it shoots out with enough force to knock you back.

So he's hiding in allys and shooting his jizz at people who try to attack the homeless. And his jizz knocks them back into brick walls, and his jizz is thick and sticky enough that they stay stuck to the wall, while he slinks back into the shadows of the ally.

I call him......Spooder-Man!

I'm a large but not huge guy... and if it's a "normal" (not "elongated") toilet bowl, I have to stuff my junk down there, trying to avoid touching the bowl where random others probably have; and then the splashback may be personally affecting me.

Tiny, low-flow toilets also don't save water when I have to use the plunger and flush four times.

I could see there being an issue if you stopped flow of urine in your actual penis but that is controlled by inner sphincter muscles in the bladder not your urethra.

Perhaps his penis is not the only underdeveloped part of his urinary tract. Maybe his bladder sphincters are also underdeveloped and can't hold back a full bladder.

step one: Isolate the gene for penis length.

Step two: discern if the gene needs to be copied or trimmed to cause enlargement

step three: using CRISPR gene editing, formulate the necessary edits and then bioengineer a retrovirus delivery method.

step four: make sure that the panel for FDA approval is all men and/or trans men (hey, if we're gonna do this there are legit G.A.C. uses!)

step five: Build a Money Bin like freakin' Scrooge McDuck to handle all the money that you're about to get.

step one: Isolate the gene for penis length.

That does assumes that there is a dedicated gene, and that the gene is singular.

It's hardly impossible for it to be governed by multiple genes, like height is.

step three: using CRISPR gene editing, formulate the necessary edits and then bioengineer a retrovirus delivery method.

Only if it's something that can be altered later. Gene editing is not magic that can instantly transform someone if something gets flipped.

It's entirely plausible that the genes responsible might only be active at certain points in time, and after that, altering it makes the cells have different genes, but they won't do much with it.

Similar to how altering the gene responsible for how many fingers you have doesn't cause you to lose or sprout new fingers.

If you have the plans for a house and you are in the middle of building it, and find out that the engineer wants a bigger porch, does that mean you put a porch on every wall? No, YOU JUST BUILD A BIGGER PORCH. Genes indicate how strongly they express by repeating a bunch of times. (though sometimes this acts as a limiter, hence why you need to find out if copies increasee or decrease expression) The number of the structures is a different gene, (though that works similarly) so If you wanted more dicks, you could do that, but it would be a completely different thing to ask of DNA vs size.

TL;DR: "Size" and "Number" are on different genetic sliders.
