Men are idiots about penis size…and in fairness probably about a few other things as well.

How dumb are they about penis size? Well there’s the fact that people buy herbal supplements made of literally who know’s what at frickin’ gas stations? That we have a concept of BDE (big dick energy). That penis enlargement surgery is a thing.

“Average erect penis length was 5.17 inches, or 13.12 centimeters. SD was 0.65 inches or 1.66 centimeters.”

According to ABC news in 2005 Penis enhancement pill company “spent more than $1 million a month on advertising” and “ the popularity of such products has created overnight millionaires — like Michael Consoli and his nephew Vincent Passafiume, whose company C.P. Direct sold a male enhancement product called “Longitude.”

And were these products helpful? Consumer advocate, Dr. Sydney Wolfe, says that with respect to the growing industry of natural male enhancement products, safety is unknown and effectiveness is unproven. “You’ve got an industry that just can invent something, grind up some root, put it in a bottle, [and] sell it,” said Wolfe, author of “Best Pills, Worst Pills.”

So what’s the fuss all about? Certainly it must be about a ton of people running around looking like porn…
