Other spam promoting porn sites with sluts taking on monster cocks might easily prompt doubting of one's own penile prowess. Whether it sells generic Viagra, some all-natural herb or suction device to make one's erection longer, thicker or harder, the advertising pushes the dream of super human shafts by threatening nightmares of inadequacy. Meanwhile, in the quest to improve one's cock for her pleasure or one's own vanity, there are often unexpected risks.

Ray Henry writes for the Associated Press about Charles "Chick" Lennon, 68, a man with a malfunctioning penile implant similar to the one pictured above. A series of plastic plates strung together on surgical wire, almost like a stack of loose coins inside the shaft of the penis can become rigid when a remotely released spring applies pressure at the base of the pile simulating an erection.

Mr. Lennon has had a permanent erection for 10 years. As he explains, he can no longer ride a bike, risk wearing a swimsuit or hug friends, due to the embarrassment and pain caused by his always-rigid rod. He feels uncomfortable around his family and has begun to live as a recluse. Nevertheless, a Rhode Island judge lowered the "excessive" amount of money awarded to Chick with the constantly up for it dick from $750 000 US to $400 000 US.

Due to other health problems, including recent open-heart surgery, perma-hard-on Lennon can't have the device removed besides the fact that removal of penile tissue for the implant precludes other contemporary solutions such as the little blue pill from working. He may be a bit richer but he's still stuck between a rock and a hard place.
