*checks penis* I was wondering why I seemed to be fluctuating so much lately...
Yeah. This is completely false in just about each and every way possible. I've slid up and down the scale for a 25Ibs range and my penis has always been the same. And I've never, ever heard of anything even close to this in all my medicine books...and I research the sex chapters quite thoroughly
And I spend enough time with it to notice, so yes I'm sure.
I'm guessing some joker thought this up and came up with a bonehead theory. I can just imagine it... "Your erection is effected by the bloodflow to the penis. So if you lose weight, the blood will flow in extra volumes to the penis instead of to the fat that was there before."
Too bad subcutaneous tissue (fat) has a very, very low blood supply. And the odds are that if there was extra blood freed up by losing weight, it'd go to more vital areas, like the lungs and brain and intestines (Yes yes, I know our erections are vital to US, but not so much to the body overall).
Still, it'd be kinda awesome if this were true. It'd give us guys a reason to get off our lazy fat asses and work our beer bellies off.
*pokes beer belly* now that's just sad. I don't even drink any beer.
