The Penis Enlargement mystery of the Topinama tribe.

The other day I was thinking about something I had read long ago on the NHS’s website about penis size. They described an amazonian tribe called the ‘Topinama’ that ‘encouraged poisonous snakes to bite their penis to enlarge it’. It occured to me that this could potentially be translated to modern PE. If the active component in the snake venom that resulted in the enlarged penis was known, it could be injected into the penis at an appropriate dose. I’m not saying that this is something I would have tried or considered trying, but I was interested.

Anyway, I tried searching for this tribe, but was only able to find it being mentioned in a very similar fashion on other web articles about penis size or penis enlargement. It always seems to be mentioned in conjunction with another fact about the Sadhus holy men of India using weights to stretch their penises, and about half of the articles refer to this tribe as the ‘Topamina’ instead of the ‘Topinama’.
So it would seem to me that this is completely made up. There is not a single piece of information or a single reference to this tribe outside of these articles, and all of the statements are unsubstantiated with any further detail, except for one which said that the increase in size lasted for up to six months. Obviously, none of the articles reference the original source of the information either.

You may be wondering why I care. Firstly, I find it interesting that such a situation has arisen. There must have either been an original source of the claim, or one of the websites made it up and all of the other website’s writers just blatantly copied almost the exact qoute word for word without doing so much as a google search to check if it’s actually factual. If there is an original source, I would be very interested to see someone find it.

Note also, that if this fact is indeed a lie, the act of making it up and perpetuating it is actually rather racist/neo-colonialist. This individual decided that they would say an amazon tribe called the Topinama got snakes to bite their penises so they would become bigger. It’s an obscene thing to come up with and says something about the individual’s perception of amazonian tribes as savage, crude and primitive societies. It also suggests a racist/neo-colonialist mindset of those who qouted this fact on other websites as they felt the statement sounded true enough that they didn’t bother fact checking it.

The other thing that bothers me about this is what it says about the NHS, assuming that the statement is indeed false. I think most Britons on this website know by now that the NHS is far from an accurate and reliable source of information, not just for penis enlargement, but for health matters in general. Even if the fact about the ‘Topinama’ is only intended as a piece of trivia to open up the article with, the falsehood indicates a poor standard of research and accuracy that unfortunately I have come to expect from the NHS.

Of course here Sateside…it brings to mind the old joke about the Lone Ranger being bitten on his penis by a rattlesnake…and sending his falthful sidekick Tonto to the Doctor to ask what to do. The Doc tells Tonto he must quickly suck out the venom…rushing back to the Lone Ranger, the Ranger asks what the Doctor said, to which Tonto replies: “Kimosabe, Doctors says you’re gonna die…..”

If you search the forum here you will find references to bee stings etc. to penis as well

Years ago I accidentally kicked open a bald face hornet nest. I got about 60 stings on one leg. My calf swelled up to the size of my thigh.

Just for a moment, it did cross my mind …

Like a glory hole with bees? With maybe some honey on top?🤔

Edit: Also I have to add.. the Surinamese people have a similar way of growing their penis. They wack it with a mild (poisonous?) bush to make it swell or something.

I don’t think the story is true, and even if it was, I would assume the growth comes just from swelling and inflammation from the bite and not actual growth of tissues.

And even if its false, I dont see anything racist or neocolonialist about it. In case you are not aware, the Amazon still has canibal tribes with no communication with the outside world. Others kill other people outside their tribes, cut the head and cook it in a way that the head becomes miniature and save them as trophy. If those actions are not savages then I dont know what it is. I have never seen skyscrapers growing up in the middle of the amazon or corporations in the middle of the amazon trying to establish diplomatic and economic relationships with the outside world. All we see from footage is people living half ass naked with thongs and spears. Isn’t that the definition of primitive?

I understand your view and it enfuriates me too when people falsely claim that primitive tribes are as advanced as our European civilizations. Or when people turn a blind eye to the brutality committed by such tribes. However whilst we should understand that there are issues with tribal culture and other societies, it is a different thing to make entertainment and ridicule out of the tropes of these tribes. Even if the snake bite myth was true, it isn’t right for a fair and respecting society to parade that fact around. How would you feel Igigi, if I was to constantly discuss how White Europeans have a higher average IQ than West-African Blacks. It’s a fact, but that doesn’t make it appropriate to draw attention to the fact. It is even less appropriate to branch out from that fact and construct a myth that is consistent with this fact and portrays whites as superior to blacks, even if it isn’t a stretch to believe that the myth could be true.

Both of you relax.
