BoCOX

 

Morning

"I just came across an article about men having Botox injections in their penis and was shocked, but also greatly intrigued.  The article's focus was more on the aesthetics of it making things fuller and hang longer, but also gives you harder erections.  After a deeper dive, it is also being used as a possible help for people with ED.  

I was wondering if you'd heard of this, posted on it, or had any general thoughts.  Seems crazy to inject toxins there, but as someone who suffers from ED, I'm curious."

Yes, Botox --- called BoCOX by some men --- is now being used off-label to treat ED. Off-label means it has not been FDA-approved for this use. However, current studies report it to be up to 77% effective, especially for men who are not responding to typical medications like Cialis and Viagra.

It is injected directly into the corpus cavernosa at multiple points and relaxes that "smooth muscle" to allow for more blood flow --- the culprit behind most ED. The procedure takes about 30 minutes. Just like Botox treatments for one's face, this would require repeat injections every 4 to 9 months.

I don't believe it can add length, but it might add girth. 

Remember, this is a toxin. There can be complications with this procedure just as there may be for facial treatments. I would suggest a visit to a Urologist who specializes in ED treatments to decide if it's something to pursue.

If you want to do a "deep dive" into the safety and effectiveness of the treatment: PubMedCentral.

Himbo v Bimbo

 

Morning

It's National Arbor Day.

Go, hug a tree.

"Are you familiar with the term "himbo?" I try to keep up with the latest terms and what these acronyms stand for but I came across this word a couple of times in profiles on Bateworld. The dudes appear to be embracing the word, but when I asked one what it meant, I got no response. I googled it, but am wondering if there is more to the term."

I think a Himbo is the male version of Bimbo. Someone who isn't very intelligent, or at least pretends to be dumb, but is quite physically attractive and relies on appearance and charm to make their way through life.

For instance, this dude (found in a google image search) is a self-described Himbo.

There's even a genre of porn comics

and films.

Readers, what's your take?

Love's Labours

Morning

As Debra at She Who Seeks has mentioned, today is (purportedly) Shakespeare's birthday, born in 1564. In keeping with his perfect sense of timing, he (purportedly) died on the same date in 1616. And his work is still performed and adapted more than 400 years later. You may not think you know or like Shakespeare, but as the writing community might tell you: There are no themes or plots Shakespeare didn't already cover.

Some of his unfinished work (purportedly) includes  Love's Labours Won -- a sequel to Love's Labours Lost. My buddy is putting the finishing touches on a new stage comedy featuring Oberon, Puck, and Ariel, references many of Will's works, and is titled Love's Labors.

I wonder if it could be staged in the nude.

How fun would that be?
