"Man claims his penis shrank 1.5 inches, 'COVID d - - k is real' say doc"



Talk about getting the short end of the stick.

As if contracting COVID wasn’t bad enough, a dismayed man now claims that he’s lost a whopping 1.5 inches from the length of his penis as a lingering result of the vile virus.

“My penis has shrunk,” lamented the griping guy in a letter to the “How To Do It” podcast this week.

“I’m a heterosexual man in my 30s,” he said, anonymously — only referring to himself as “coming up short.”



and spoiler: "He claimed that a medical adviser had attributed his pecker problems to vascular damage caused by COVID, and was warned that the impairment was likely permanent."

and apologies for nypost version. ugh.

If you're starting with 3", OTOH ... that'd be pretty devastating

Of course, these super human he-man types are thoroughly persuaded of their own invincibility and the robustness of their own immune system that they gladly gamble their lives. But losing an inch or two off your erection? That could be serious!

I thought it was going to be a story about yet another antivaxxer claim: "Don't get the vaccine! It'll make your dick shrink!" There have been other rumors (lies) about vaccine effects on male anatomy, so this would have fit right in.

Looks like a bunch of MAGA supporters just got more concerned about COVID and vaccinations, then.

On the other hand, that side effect is just the thing needed to boost sales of huge pick-up trucks and high-powered armaments.
