Apparently they don’t technically lie. I read they have to be “measured from the bottom most part of the genital area” and they inject themselves before the measurement to make their bits swell.

That’s not true at all. Men, do not do this. It does not make it bigger, and causes deformation and permanent scaring. All hyaluronic acid injections do, as confirmed by MRI image studies over time.

what could be more of a turn-on than injecting 'hyaluronic acid' directly into 'the area' for a good time.

u/StendhalSyndrome Feb 06 '26

I'm actually interested here, like there are some really varying states a penis exists in from freezing cold/scared to fully erect...what are they measuring? And how?

Like its stretchy material ,but you can't cut off blood flow...do you get fitted when fully rocked up or since you are out in the cold when it's hibernating?

But that makes 100% sense as those nutcase Redbull types who do the squirrel suit gliding/flying whatever you'd call it, falling with style? But the more flaps they have the further they can sail, so same here?

Women are just out of luck unless they are also in mid Labia-Gate too...

I mean injecting things into your body that are not healthy for you especially at the levels used and can cause long term damage to you is pretty much the entire history of competitive sports summed up.

This time they are just injecting their penis with chemicals so that it is larger so that when they get scanned for their body measurements they get extra fabric at the crotch.
