From the Star-Telegram article:

FDA: Agents can seize penis rings at borders

From staff and wire reports

Penis enlargers and constricting rings to maintain erections can be seized at U.S. borders, U.S. regulators said Thursday, citing inadequate safety labels.

The devices have inadequate directions for use and can have harmful effects, from rupturing blood vessels to causing gangrene of the penis, the Food and Drug Administration said in guidance to import inspectors posted on the agency’s Web site. The guidance was a revision to guidelines on "external penile rigidity devices" the FDA published in 2004.

“Basically, the labeling of these devices falsely states or implies they will treat impotence, prolong erection, and increase the dimensions of the penis,” the FDA said in the new notice.

The FDA said such devices fall into several categories:

o Mechanical stretching devices, which "employ weights or lines tied to other parts of the body such as the knee, to affect tension on the penis.

o Vacuum operating devices, "those employing a sealing principle in the area of the base of the penis and an evacuation mechanism to drop the atmospheric pressure around the penis, thereby affecting increased blood flow."

o Constrictive rings, which "constrict the base of the penis after erection has been achieved and cause the erection to be maintained by blocking the normal circulation of blood from the penis."

o Supportive devices, which "function as a splint or cradle in order to maintain a resumblance of turgidity."

I’m glad to see the government is keeping us safe. (:

When penis pumps are outlawed, only outlaws will have larger penises.

Just buy the ones that say “For entertainment purposes only”.

That’s some funny shit.

First they can tap our phone lines with no warrants, but now they want to stop me from carrying my workout equipment? If they banned ball stretchers, that’d just really do it for me! :p

Gotta love big government. They take so good care of us, know what’s best for everyone more than we ourselves do.

It all seems a bit pointless when they can be purchased freely in the States. And usually in the country where the traveller might be going.

Apparently, there is a budgeting problem within the FDA, if they spend time on stuff like that. How about going after enlargement pills instead?

First they came for the cock ring and ADS wearers, and I did not speak out, because I was neither

When they locked up the pumpers, I remained silent. I was not a pumper.

When they came for the hangers I did not speak up. I was not a hanger.

Then they came for the Jelquers, and I said nothing. I was not a jelquer

Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Thanks, Fantom

I was also thinking about that original, and very famous saying,
but couldn’t remember exactly how it went.

So, I Googled, but didn’t get anywhere. I gave up and decided
to return to the thread to see what I could come up with.

However, there you were and you had already done it. You did
a great job making it fit the topic. :thumbs:

Too funny!

That leave what? Chemical PE, clamping and stretching?

Damn!!! Do I have to hid my hands the next time I travel?

Funny. And funny post fantom. :up:
