  • Altair27, on 10/08/2008, -0/+6With this development, scientists are expecting a preventative small-penis vaccine by 2012
  • gr00vy, on 10/08/2008, -4/+6I call shenanigans. There has been no study of any significant breadth that has discovered this. At the very best this was a study of a handful of young men that had deformed penises, and out of this handful of men, they all had mom's that were exposed to the same things. They could have found anything thing that correlated including having been born from women. Correlation is NOT causation. I am sure that the study does not have enough data points to even provide correlation. This stinks of a study for the soul purpose of generating news at the best, and that is more likely a media hoax. Shenanigans.
    • RobotBuddha, on 10/08/2008, -0/+2I think I have it! Small penises are caused by exposure to autism! Which is also rising for reasons pushed with only correlation as evidence.
    • Theisos, on 10/08/2008, -0/+3I read your comment and...I have four questions. Are you known to be working around plastics?

    • bipolarruledout, on 10/08/2008, -0/+2Didn't Shenanigans go out of business recently?

  • scfraser6, on 10/08/2008, -8/+4I feel for the "angry inch" guys...Any girls that tells you size doesn't matter is lying their ass off.
    • scfraser6, on 10/08/2008, -4/+3I see some guy with a small dick just dugg this down.....
    • DamnMan, on 10/08/2008, -0/+6Did most of your understanding of female physiology comes from porn movies?
      Most of the nerve endings in the vagina itself are located in the first few cm. There are fewer nerves the deeper you go. Given that fact its not surprising only about 8% of the female population is even capable of orgasm though vaginal penetration. Even if we argue the effectiveness of the G-Spot that's only about 3 inches in on the anterior wall (her stomach side). And for that using a digit would be more effective reliable means of stimulation.

      This also doesn't cover the problem of being to long and hitting the cervix. Which I imagine would be similar to having someone repeatedly thumping your testicle.

      I'm sure you can find plenty of size queens. Hell you can find dudes that LIKE getting kicked in the junk. That doesn't mean its the norm no matter how much pop culture would tell us otherwise.

  • seks03, on 10/08/2008, -0/+13for anyone that doesn't know what phthalates are, this is the chemical that give plastic that rubberized filling, like on a Zune, car dashboards, screw driver handles, and the last generation of the palm Treo, this stuff is all over the place, it has been banned in other countries too.

  • bipolarruledout, on 10/08/2008, -0/+3And people worry about soy.
  • atact88, on 10/08/2008, -0/+3Pthalates are plasticizers that make normally hard plastics softer. They were used widely in things like IV bags, for example. New alternatives are coming out and are gaining more market share. Still, you have to be exposed to a pretty high amount to see any ill effects from commercial products.
    • bipolarruledout, on 10/08/2008, -1/+4Really? How high of an amount? Most drugs are profoundly active at milligram and sub-milligram levels. If ipods, cell phones, plastic pens were made out of pure prozac then I think some people would be a little concerned, especially people who chew their pens. I'm just saying.

      /Or maybe they would be too happy to care?
    • atact88, on 10/09/2008, -0/+2yes, DRUGS are DESIGNED to be active at nanoMOLAR levels. Non-drug substances that aren't meant to be taken as medicinal effectors are studied for minimum levels of TOXICITY. These are DESIGNED to have VERY HIGH harmful doses.
  • Visarga, on 10/08/2008, -1/+7Great. Pollution has already been linked to premature puberty in girls - breast development starts even at 6 or 7 years old today - NO FAIR - why does it not enlarge the penises instead of shrinking them?

    Where's OUR benefit from living in these polluted times?
