Virgin birthAfter treating a 14-year-old boy who attempted suicide, I routinely inquired why he tried taking his life. He explained to me that his 16-year-old sister was pregnant and that was causing an uproar in his family. Here's what I asked him next: Dr. Pezzi: Why would that make you attempt suicide? Patient: Because she swears up and down that she never had sex. You should see how my parents scream at her, calling her all kinds of names. But she just cries for hours and tries telling them that she didn't do anything to get pregnant. Dr. Pezzi: I can appreciate how that situation would be very upsetting, but why would it make you do what you did today? Patient: Because I got my sister pregnant, that's why. Dr. Pezzi: I see. Patient: But that's not the worst part. Dr. Pezzi: (wondering how much worse could it be?) What is? Patient: The way I got her pregnant. Dr. Pezzi: How was that? Patient: I didn't have sex with her. Dr. Pezzi: Then how did you get her pregnant? Patient: (looking very uncomfortable and blushing) I, uh . . . I used her vibrator. Usually I'd wash it off, but a few months ago she surprised me when she came home early from work. I had just enough time to wipe it off with my hand and put it away before she came upstairs. I heard her get it out but I was mortified. I mean, how could I tell my sister that I just used her vibrator? I couldn't do it. I really didn't think there was enough sperm on there to get her pregnant, but I guess I was wrong. Are you going to tell my parents? Dr. Pezzi: Yes. Patient: (crying) They'll kill me. Dr. Pezzi: No, they won't. Patient: Oh yes they will! You don't know them. They're so strict they won't even let my sister date. Isn't there something else you can tell them? Dr. Pezzi: Like what? Patient: Tell them I had sex with her. Dr. Pezzi: Why would that be any better? Patient: It would seem more normal. I could tell them I got drunk or something. I have seizures. Maybe I could tell them I did it after a seizure when I was still kind of confused. Dr. Pezzi: They would never buy that excuse. I have never seen any seizure patient behave that way. Patient: Then can I blame it on my neurologist? Dr. Pezzi: No. Patient: But he gave me too much phenobarbital a few months ago, and I was really doped up. Dr. Pezzi: I'll tell you what. I don't care what excuse you come up with as long as your parents learn the truth about how you are the father of your sister's child. That is an important medical fact that I cannot sweep under the rug. If they believe your excuse, that's fine. The parents handled this with a lot more equanimity than I'd expected. After the father heard his son's explanation he yelled, “What? Why didn't you tell us?” after which the patient cried for so long that by the time he finished crying his parents seemed to realize that they now had two serious problems to cope with, neither of which would be helped by anger. |

Medical School Myths: Only surgery can enlarge the penis in adult men. Like other doctors, in medical school I was taught that penis size is fixed at the end of puberty. I previously believed that, too, and the evidence seemed overwhelming. I then serendipitously discovered a way to trigger what amounts to a "second puberty" of penile growth. The only difference between this "second puberty" and real puberty in terms of penile growth is that the penile growth was much more dramatic the second time. Within a few weeks, my penis size went from embarrassingly small (at least to me) to bigger than some porno stars. I once believed that such a transformation was impossible, but I was wrong, and so were the professors who taught me that myth. Clearly, penile size is not necessarily fixed at the end of puberty if you provide the body with the proper stimulus to rekindle penile growth. After realizing that my medical school professors were wrong about this topic, I naturally questioned if there are other ways to enlarge the penis. The answer is yes, and I present all of them in Advanced Enlargement While the primary focus of Advanced Enlargement is on penile enlargement techniques that go beyond what is presented in The Science of Sex, the information in it is also useful for enhancing libido, sexual pleasure, and performance. |
