Now he’ll work on his biceps instead
TAIPEI - A Taiwanese man injured his penis badly while trying to lift a 16-kg weight with it.

Doctors said the 48-year-old man, identified by the Taiwanese media as Mr Hsueh, tore tissues in his scrotum by ‘overloading’ his penis. They spent 30 minutes stitching up the tissues before putting him under observation, the United Daily News reported yesterday.

It said he had been using his penis to lift weights and was undertaking qigong exercises to boost his virility. However, this was apparently the first time he had tried lifting a 16-kg weight.

When he did so, he felt an excruciating pain and found his penis bruised and swollen. His wife rushed him to hospital, where he received five stitches.

Urological surgeon Chen Kuan-yung dismissed suggestions that lifting weights can help enlarge the penis, and said people should not believe in methods that have no scientific or medical basis.

What is that in pounds?

1kg =2.2lb so about 35 lb

Sounds like he did not take the advice of many folks on this forum, and that is to go slow and easy, and know your limits. Ouch! I guess I will stay at 10 - 12.5 lbs for a while.

It would seem that urological surgeon, Chen Kuan-yung, needs to brush up on his medical text books. The principles of traction in the medical field have been known and used for centuries and that’s basically what we’re using here. But, I guess as a doctor, he has an ethical responsibility and a duty of care - he can’t just come out and say that hanging weights from your penis will increase it’s size …….. unless of course he’s short of patients! :chuckle: It’s a “Catch 22” situation.
