Report: Male Genitalia Shrinking

CBS Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – While searching the internet for stories that get you talking, we came across this report about some of the weirdest scientific studies. According to the report on Chacha.com, if size matters, male private parts are apparently shrinking.

According to the report, the study’s leaders claim to have bona fide research that says the average size of a penis is roughly 10 percent smaller than it was 50 years ago.

The post on the study doesn’t say how the research was conducted or give numbers. But it does provide several reasons for the supposed  shrinkage, including weight gain, stress, smoking and alcohol.

The report also says air pollution has been shown to “negatively impact penis size.”

    Of course.
    Smoking causes it.
    (second hand smoke, too!)
    Pollution causes it.
    And global warming due to the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide from the use of fossil fuels will make your willie into a weenie, your johnson into a jonny, and your big dick into a little richard.

    There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer’s research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

    So…50 years ago nobody drank to excess, smoked like a chimney (even kids) and the air was pristine?

    Our air now is more polluted than when the EPA got started?

    Well Kurt, That may well be true about the air being more polluted than it was before the EPA! Education has plummetted since the DoE was created. We’re a helluva lot less safe since they started the DHS. Welfare and the “War on Poverty”= Failure. DEA and War on Drugs… Big Effin JOKE! What about Health andHuman Services… Yeah um, OBAMACARE!!! So Yeah, our air is probably considerably worse than it was before the EPA!!!

Then there was the kid from Brooklyn who had a dick like a 1/2 inch auger bit, about 2 1/2 inches long. His claim to fame was: Hey man I could never reach the bottom but I sure a s hell beat the shit outta the sides. Now there are dicks that deserve study. Don’t you think?

    L-arginine is an Amino. Open blood vessels for more flow. Oxygen enhancer. Tribulus is a root found in Europe that the Bulgarians used to increase Testosterone for their weight lifter. It must of worked because the IOC banned it. DHEA ties it all together. Helps synthesis the testosterone. You can get tons of info on the internet on this. Some negative, but usually those sites are trying to sell you something else. I’m 56, a weight lifter. Bench 405, not sure what I can squat, knees hurt, but I rep 365 for 10. The guy that turned me on to this cocktail is an old lifting buddy and he’s pushing big weight for his age too. On another level, I can out work my kids any day of the week. Do some research, see what you think. I’m sold.

    @the aardvark – That’s all according to people who never think above the waistline.

    The air has gradually gotten cleaner every year for the past 50+ years. It is so much cleaner now than it used to be anyone who was around and took notice then can easily see the difference. Heck, even in LA, where the population has doubled, smog is reduced to 25% of what it was.

    On the other hand, the influx of third world short people certainly skews the average.
