Yesterday we were talking about Tutankhamen’s missing penis. Today we’ve moved on to penises in general, courtesy of this emailing from our cohorts at Delancey Place. I do, however, wish people would stop sending me penis enlargement spam. I’m happy with what I have, and even if I wasn’t, I’m too old to do much about it.
"Ever since man began to walk upright, he had been obsessed when his penis would not behave likewise and searched for ways to fix the problem.

During the ensuing centuries cloves, ginger, and massaging one's genitals in ass's milk all had their vogue.

The Middle Ages favored lubrication of the afflicted member with melted fat from camel humps. Charlatan – Pope Brock (Crown)
