The Boys Can Do It Too, Y'All

Women aren't the only ones who go in for plastic surgery. According to this article from the Boston Phoenix, more and more men are going in for penis enlargement surgery. In fact, in a sign of our size-obsessed times, organizers of a golf tournament in Australia offered free penis-enlargement surgery for the man who could hit a ball farthest off the tee. This long, detailed article gives some historical background on the male obsession with penis size, and outlines the various procedures--from vacuum pumps to phalloplasty--that are playing off male vanity to the tune of millions of dollars. This growing trend should reassure women who feel guilty about getting THEIR God-given parts enhanced. Men are just as insecure about their bodies, apparently.
