Asking the important questions (about penises) on Incels dot co

SMBC had a take on this very topic. https://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1910

According to the Tenacious D movie the trick is cock push-ups.

There are people who lift weights with their dicks, but they’re either exercising the pelvic muscles or exercising hips and legs while tying the weights to your dick instead of a belt or something. I’m not sure why.

@Naglfar
IIRC the people who do it are mostly ascetics who’ve forsworn fleshy pleasures, so that may not be a downside in their estimation.

I want fingers that magically extend out four feet so I can grab stuff and then contract back to their original size, but there are no exercises I can do that will allow me to meet this goal. God is so cruel to make me like this.

They are in desperate need of proper sex education.

@Viscaria
Frankly that would be much more useful than a giant penis.

In one of those happy little random coincidences, I read this, then hit the random comic button on SMBC and got this:

There is such a surgery that cuts the suspensory ligament. This is not advisable because it doesn’t make it much longer, there are many possible complications, and since penis enlargement surgeries are unregulated a lot of patients get infections or other damage.
I don’t think exercising the muscles of the pelvis make penises smaller, but I don’t know because I can’t find any good data on it.

Sounds like a good reason to do the exercises, what a party trick! (At the right party…)

A lot of men suspect that a bigger penis means better sex. It makes intuitive sense that a bigger tool would have a bigger effect, but of course most people forget that “too much” is bad. Though really the men who are insecure about it see it as a mark of manhood, and having a bigger penis means you are moreso a man and thus a superior man. Essentially judging the quality of a person by how well they perform their assigned gender. Incel thinking is just an extreme case. Most people have felt shame or been shamed by others not because they did anything wrong but just didn’t have the qualities associated with their assigned gender; admittedly stating the obvious to feminists.

@Naglfar Sadly unsurprising. There has been a lot of similar examples here. They believe they have a monopoly on misery. They only problem they can imagine is inequality of masculinity.

Isn’t there a surgery that makes the penis appear larger, by severing one of the muscles that anchors it to the pelvis?

The emphasis is very much on “appear”. As Naglfar pointed out, there are operations that sever the suspensory ligament. This makes the penis sit further forward making it look longer, but it doesn’t really add much. And as Dalillama said, because it’s no longer anchored to the abdomen, it doesn’t actually stand up when erect to the same extent it did.

(I saw some article in a men’s magazine back in the 90s where some guy had it done and it looked pretty horrible– the patient had to have all kinds of drains put in after the surgery because, well, it’s a sensitive area and will swell up if there’s any trauma. The guy claimed not to have regretted getting it done, but seemed more pleased with how other men reacted to it, in changing rooms, etc., than with if it actually improved his performance in bed. Which I think tells you all you need to know about the kind of person who’d undergo this)

To reiterate what other posters have said: the penis is not a muscle. It’s made of spongy tissue and gets erect because the vessels entering it dilate while the ones exiting it contract so it fills up which blood. Some of our near relatives like chimpanzees have a penis bone to help out but we homo sapiens have to make do with blood pressure alone. Which is why men with cardiovascular issues often suffer erectile dysfunction.

(Warning: extremely gross facts ahead) The penis is actually made up of a number of separate layers of tissue and, in rare circumstances, if the penis is subjected to trauma while erect (say, by falling off the bed, or jerking it too hard, or being too aggressive in penetration), the layers can rupture and separate leading to a condition called a fractured penis (content warning on that link as there’s an unpleasant image at the end of it), which can be extremely painful. So yes, incels, if any of you are reading this, you can actually break your dick. Bear that in mind if you are attempting some hare-brained scheme you’ve been told will make it larger.
