Well, this is new.

Quote:

A 17-year-old boy has undergone the world's first penis reduction surgery, surgeons claim.
The American teen requested the surgery after his penis grew too large, restricting his ability to have sex or play competitive sports.
The boy's surgeons were shocked when he came to them complaining that his penis was too big.
When flaccid, it measured almost seven inches in length and had a circumference of 10 inches - around the size of a grapefruit.
Surgeons described it as being shaped like an American football.
The surgeon who treated the teenager, Rafael Carrion, a urologist at the University of South Florida, told MailOnline: 'There comes a time in every urologist's career that a patient makes a request so rare and impossible to comprehend that all training breaks down and leaves the physician speechless.
'That question was "can you make my penis smaller"?'

The teenager had suffered from several bouts of priapism - an unwanted erection, due to having a condition in which abnormally-shaped blood cells block vessels in the penis, causing it to swell.
These episodes had left his penis bloated and misshapen.
He said he was unable to have sex or play competitive sport, had difficulty wearing his pants due to his 'large and heavy phallus', and was embarrassed by how visible it appeared underneath regular clothing.
Though his penis was so large, it did not grow when he had erections - it merely became firmer.
'His penis had inflated like a balloon,' said Dr Carrion.
'It sounds like a man's dream - a tremendously inflated phallus - but unfortunately although it was a generous length, it's girth was just massive, especially around the middle.

'It looked like an American football.'
Dr Carrion and his team looked at the medical literature but couldn't find any precedent for what to do.
'Lord knows there's a global race on how to make it longer and thicker in plastic surgery circles, but very little on how to make it smaller,' he said.
In the end, they decided to embark on a surgical technique normally used to treat Peyronie's disease, a condition where scar tissue develops along the penis, causing it to bend.
The surgeons sliced along an old circumcision scar, unwrapped the skin of the penis, and cut out two segments of tissue from either side.
'It was a bit like having two side tummy-tucks - that's how we explained it to him,' said Dr Carrion.

The doctors were able to bypass the urethra - the tube which carries urine through the penis - and all of the nerves that provide sensation.
The teenager spent just two days in hospital before returning home, apparently 'ecstatic' with his new penis.
The doctors did not take final measurements of the penis, although Dr Carrion told MailOnline the result was 'generous'.

Rafael Carrion, urologist at the University of South Florida
'It's slightly longer and slightly thicker than the average male, but now it looks symmetrical, and the patient was very satisfied,' he said.
The teen now has no problem having normal erections and has full sensation.
'It looks cosmetically appealing, and he said it was a life-changing event, he's all smiles,' said Carrion.
Since the paper describing the surgery was published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, Dr Carrion has only had one person approach him to request the same surgery.
He said: 'This [second] man seems to have a naturally large penis, because there's nothing unusual in his medical history, so it doesn't seem like there's any real abnormality in this case'.
Whereas the first teenager had an obvious medical condition that needed treating, performing surgery on someone who is completely healthy but having difficulties with the size of his penis is another matter, said Dr Carrion.
'These are controversial waters we're stepping in,' he added. 'Who is to judge what is a legitimate complaint and what isn't?
'You don't normally have men complaining about this kind of thing. These are very unique cases.'

So, you're saying that giving perfectly healthy women breast implants is stepping into controversial waters and having small breasts isn't necessarily a legitimate complaint?

Considering the article is about having an abnormally large penis, I'm not sure if this is the best stock photo to use:

Has to be a fake story. Wouldn't he pass out when he popped a boner?

Ok but in this case it's clearly about the excessive girth and shape, not length. This places the story firmly into the "rare medical anomaly" category, not the expected "psychologically troubled emasculated white knight" one.

[vinman]

I for one will never look at a football the same way again.

[VolandoVengoVolandoVoy]

The poor guy had a deformed penis because of multiple episodes of priapism (when you get an erection that doesn't go away for at least 4 hours and does internal damage to the penis).
It's not like he was hung like a horse and functioning normally.
This is a medical anomaly not some prurient sex story.
Fucking Daily Mail click bait and the urologist attention whoring.

Having a erection for more then 4 hours damages the penis?.... I better scratch Colombia off my travel list.

Apparently the classification is usually 4-6 hours.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priapism

Quote:

Priapism (/ˈpraɪəpɪzəm/[1][2]) is a potentially painful medical condition in which the erect penis does not return to its flaccid state, despite the absence of both physical and psychological stimulation, within four hours. Priapism is considered a medical emergency, which should receive proper treatment by a qualified medical practitioner. There are two types of priapism: low-flow and high-flow; 80% to 90% of clinically presented priapisms are low flow disorders.[3] Low-flow involves the blood not adequately returning to the body from the penis. High-flow involves a short-circuit of the vascular system partway along the penis. Treatment is different for each type. Early treatment can be beneficial for a functional recovery.

Not all sources give four hours as the guideline for priapism occurring: "The duration time of a normal erection before it is classifiable as priapism is still controversial. Ongoing penile erections for more than 6 hours can be classified as priapism."[3]

The name comes from the Greek god Priapus (Ancient Greek: Πρίαπος), a fertility god often represented with a disproportionately large and permanent erection.

I asked them not to publish anything about my surgery. Please respect my privacy.

[Pride male]

I once stayed next to a guy from Congo. Dude had plenty of bitches come over. But I used to hear the woman complaining that it hurt and his dick was too big.

[VolandoVengoVolandoVoy]

I think if I ever get a tattoo, now it will be "Πρίαπος"

[Daddy]

The guy didn't go to the doctor because his penis was too big. He went to the doctor because his penis was dysfuntional and sick. That's why. He couldn't have a good erection, had blood clots, etc. That's just another bullshit way the media makes click bait.

Damnit, I came in here to post this.

Can you imagine having a damn football size wang swinging around? Does he need special pants for that?

Mine's bad enough as an oversize cucumber.

For size reference:

^^^Haha, I want to Pompeii in 2013 and saw the house where that fresco was found. It's called the House of the Vettii.

Romans used to put an image of Priapus on their door as a way of warding off would-be burglars. The message being "Priapus guards this house, and if you steal from here, he'll punish you (by sodomizing you)"


Basically, it was the 1st century AD version of putting an "Protected by ADT Security Systems" sign on your lawn.

Quote:

Berle was famous within show business for the rumored size of his penis.[35][36][37][38][39] Phil Silvers once told a story about standing next to Berle at a urinal, glancing down, and quipping, "You'd better feed that thing, or it's liable to turn on you!" In the short story 'A Beautiful Child', Truman Capote wrote Marilyn Monroe as saying: "Christ! Everybody says Milton Berle has the biggest schlong in Hollywood."[40] At a memorial service for Berle at the New York Friars' Club, Freddie Roman solemnly announced, "On May 1st and May 2nd, his penis will be buried."[41] Radio shock jock Howard Stern also barraged Berle with an endless array of penis questions when the comedian appeared on Stern's morning talk show on Aug 5, 1988[42] (Berle was also a guest on the Stern show on Oct 30, 1996[43]). In Berle's 1988 appearance, when fielding phone calls, Stern purposely asked his producer to only air callers whose questions dealt with Berle's penis.[44][45] In his autobiography, Berle tells of a man who accosted him in a steam bath and challenged him to compare sizes, leading a bystander to remark, "go ahead, Milton, just take out enough to win".[46]

Just another story designed exclusively to sound appealing (to read); the guy had a genuine medical problem not simply a bigger-than-normal penis.

A global race? I know that GLL and other sites on the web are into penis enlargement, by various stretching methods, but I didn't know there was a global race among plastic surgeons for this.

If they find the solution, then I suppose every man will be under pressure to have an dick that's 8" long and 8" around.
