Patently false (at least if you’re referring to the PhalloBoards). The PhalloBoards is not Doctor owned, but has vetted Doctor Sponsors. They have been told, as has the Community, that all relevant and pertinent photos associated with penis enlargement is permissible. Men have absolutely posted about poor experiences, there is nearly 15 years worth of forum content at the PhalloBoards to refute your assertion without a trace of doubt. Also, no Sponsor can advise the PhalloBoards to take down a photo of a patient if that patient is indeed authentic. Plain and simple.
These photos aren’t touched up, posted as originally photographed by the author (a.k.a. patient), and provide demonstrable proof of the effectiveness of surgical & medically non-surgical male enhancement. I’m not suggesting that poor outcomes or complications aren’t possible (in fact they are, and this procedure should be considered by those who are aware that none of this is without risk), but to say that Sponsorships somehow diminish the authenticity of posts made by members (no different than members here) on their own volition is a bit ridiculous.
As for your take on "successful procedures" looking "unnatural," well, you see the reason why anyone who considers it a success is because they are happy with the outcome. Penile aesthetics is largely in the eye of the beholder like most human extremities, your take is an opinion here more than it is constructive advice, respectfully.
I will agree with your last sentiment however, anyone considering these procedures need to understand that medical male enhancement is an elective endeavor — in other words it’s something you don’t need that would improve your health or treat an ailment. Complications can & do happen. Results aren’t always ideal aesthetically. I wouldn’t describe these as alarming since most efficacious methods exhibit a low frequency of complication (which can often times be treated), and poor results aren’t as common with experienced & quality practitioners (and those too can be corrected). But in fairness to your point, some guys end up not being satisfied in the end, but from my extensive association with this area of discussion, I find that most men often report happiness in the long run when they’re a well informed decision maker.
That said, we all know the #1 attractive feature of a guy is a natural confidence, and self-image can play a role in that. While we shouldn’t equate our size as the entirety of our self-image, it plays no less or more of a role than our teeth, hair, physical fitness, and fashion sense. If you can augment it, why not?
