CARNAL NATION

Daniel Nester of The Daily Beast wanted to know if the “male enhancement” pills advertised on late-night infomercials really work.  So he designed a highly unscientific protocol dubbed “The Watchful Analysis of New Growth.” Twelve male subjects in their 30s and 40s were given a 10-day supply of ExtenZe pills, a foot-long ruler, an informed consent form, a survey, and a Boner Diary.  Subjects were advised to achieve at least one erection each day for the entire 10-day period of the study. Here’s what they found: While only five of the ten subjects completed the study, these subjects reported no change in penis size. Not even a millimeter. Shocking! However, one subject reported an incident of an out-of-the-ordinary erection, and two subjects reported a tingling sensation with their erections during the first few days of the study.  Hmmm.  For more of the study’s findings, read Nester’s “The Case for Upsizing.”
