An anonymous man in his 30s who had to be hospitalized after contracting COVID-19 last July now claims that the disease left him with a shrunken penis and erectile dysfunction. "When I got out of the hospital, I had some erectile dysfunction issues. Those gradually got better with some medical attention, but I seem to be left with a lasting problem. My penis has shrunk," the man wrote in a letter to Slate's "How To Do It" podcast. "Before I got sick, I was above average, not huge, but definitely bigger than normal. Now I've lost about an inch and a half and become decidedly less than average." Dr. Ashley Winter, a urologist in Oregon, confirmed to the podcast hosts that "COVID d--- is like a real thing." A man in his 30s claims his penis shrank by 1.5 inches after he contracted COVID-19 last July. A man in his 30s claims his penis shrank by 1.5 inches after he contracted COVID-19 last July. Multiple studies have linked COVID-19 to erectile dysfunction and other reproductive health issues. An Italian study last year found that 28% of men who contracted COVID-19 experienced issues with erectile dysfunction, while only 9.33% of men who hadn't contracted COVID-19 experienced the same issue. Urologists United for Vaccination Education put out a PSA claiming that men with COVID-19 are six times more likely to develop erectile dysfunction.

Researchers at the University of Miami found that the "widespread blood vessel dysfunction, or endothelial dysfunction, that results from the COVID-19 infection could then contribute to erectile dysfunction."

Well, I think it’s all sort of forward of one’s seat, on a bike - like it is on a horse.
Gosh.
I’m glad I’m not taking this thread as seriously as you appear to be taking it.
I’m sure you’re right.
I’ve never googled it before, but decided to give it a whirl. A search for how do guys ride bikes without hurting their balls yields page after page of results. Long Reddit threads with guys bemoaning their sore bits and giving each other advice. Whole articles in biking magazines about it.
I didn’t read through them all, but the forward of the seat thing you said appeared to be advised, as well as special seats, special underwear, and well, some of it TMI.
So now I know. I would *not* like to be a guy, still. I like them, love them, but would not want to be one. I’m sure they feel the same about us, the normal ones, anyway. And that’s as it should be. Glad to be what we are.
Okay, in woods full of poison ivy when there’s a call of nature, it *would* be nice to be a guy for about 15 seconds ;)
I once met a transvestite homosexual. This was long ago, about the time that sex-change operations began to be in the news.
I asked him if he had ever considered that and he said, ‘Oh, no. I love women, but I’d never want to be one!”
That’s how the transvestites were, back then. At least the ones I met. My, how times have changed. It’s got downright confusing!
Talk about the lamest excuse for having a tiny winkie.
Well, I think he had a ‘career interest’ in keeping his ‘stuff’.
But the homosexuals that I knew in those days were always dignified men who didn’t wear it on their sleeves. They were also very interesting people, often very talented.
(Unlike the silly young people today, who seem to think that their entire ‘identity’ is wrapped up in their sexual predilections, and feel the need to advertise it before the whole world.)
Yes, the ones I knew and my friends who were homosexual were the same.
Except for the ones who were theater majors in college. They were quite flamboyant, the ones on the theater faculty even more so. Very witty, very entertaining, and gave great parties. I especially remember one on the faculty who wore a foofy pink wig and called himself PooAnn. He was a riot and everyone adored him. But even they weren’t all hung up about being gay or hi or trans or whatever, they just had fun. They seemed to prefer being part of a counterculture and would have died laughing at the idea of gay marriage.
A lot of homosexuals think that the idea of gay ‘marriage’ is a bad one.
They don’t get much press.
“But the homosexuals that I knew in those days were always dignified men who didn’t wear it on their sleeves. They were also very interesting people, often very talented.”
As the late great Florence King once said:
“Homosexuality once was The Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name. Now it never shuts up.”
LOL! Absolutely true.
Another thing that bothers me today about people who want to make themselves ‘important’ is that MYSTERY was a big part of that, in the past.
But now, everybody splays themselves out for public consumption. This tendency makes things trite and boring.
I think the French have an excellent word for that. Popular culture and the media are turning things that used to be somewhat interesting into things thoroughly *banal*.
I always get a kick out of that Florence King barb. She was maybe the best humorist to grace the pages of National Review. Those who missed reading her missed a gem. There were collections of her columns published as books. Maybe they are still in print.
I will look into her writings. Thanks.
