59. Debunking Penis Size and Function with “Melissa and Dr Jo”
Wednesday Nov 10, 2021
Wednesday Nov 10, 2021
The Penis Project podcast this week focuses on the question: what is normal for a male penis?
In recent months, both Jo and Melissa have had numerous patients attend their clinics, who have been very distressed by the size and appearance of their penis. In some instances, these men have had years of psychological distress over the false belief that their penis has been much smaller than average. In some cases, this has also prevented men from having relationships and even fathering children. The dire impact of this has been heartbreaking to observe so... breaking down stigmas and stereotypes is the aim of this episode.
Melissa and Dr Jo will have a frank discussion around all the common myths and misconceptions around what is normal in the male genitalia. This includes discussions around accurate measurement of penis length, function and size according to real data and scientific evidence. Conditions such as Erectile dysfunction, micro-penis, Koro , fatal retraction and buried penis are introduced as well as the impact of pornography on self-esteem.
The goal of today's episode (and of The Penis Project podcast ever since) is to reassure guys that every penis is unique and that size doesn’t necessarily matter!!!
