You know Dr Oz? The doctor dude who is frequently invited to the Oprah show? Well he offered up this hilarious bit of trivia (I am assuming that this only applies for men who are overweight to begin with) :
For men, for every 35 pounds of weight you lose, you will gain an inch of penis length.
Are your eyes widening? Mine sure did. Quite impressive, no?
Apparently, when men carry excess weight, fat accumulates, causing the gut to develop an overhang around the groinal region, and there's a flab build-up around the base of the shaft, which surrounds and "shortens" the penile shaft. So when they lose weight, the fat goes, thus unveiling more penis.
I cannot think of a better incentive for men to get on the Healthy Eating Bandwagon.
And to women married to overweight men everywhere: Whoo-hoo! Start cookin' low-fat! ;)
As an aside, it occurred to me. If men judge women based on their weight, deeming the heavier ones unattractive and undesirable, this penis thing gives women the same kind of power. See, I know for a fact that many (if not most) women do not take looks into account when they look for a mate--look at all those couples out there: stunning women, gross looking men. However, we could now turn the tables on men and judge them based on their looks as well. "Hmm you're a bit of a chubb, that's taken, what, maybe an inch off your penis? I'll pass thanks."
Fine... actually, I lied. Women probably don't consider penile length as a deal-maker or breaker when in love. Size doesn't matter. Unless said penis is tiny-winey. HAHA.
I'm kidding. Geez.
