The attitude that sex is a natural instinct, not requiring a teacher, is a behavior that brings happiness to both men and women. If there is a problem or defect from either side, it must be corrected. Therefore, herbal medicine recipes are also included in sex manuals. Thai society assigns men the role of leaders in sexual matters
and as the ones who bring pleasure to women. Sex manuals thus focus on teaching men to understand different types of women and learn methods of intercourse with various postures believed to satisfy women. Sexology manuals are therefore limited to a male readership.
Moreover, intercourse for the upper class is like a ritual for the stability of the family and society because the main purpose is to have good heirs.
Therefore, besides considering the appearance of the female partner, knowledge of astrology is also used to select the timing for intercourse. Sexology manuals thus serve as guides for intercourse among the upper class in the past.
Although Thai people accept that sex is a natural matter, talking about, studying, or teaching sex directly is considered embarrassing. Sex education manuals are
specialized for certain groups and use methods to disguise content with coded letters, metaphorical language, symbols, and Pali terms instead of Thai words to reduce the sense of vulgarity.
What does a small penis (micropenis) mean medically?
Nowadays, people’s preferences vary. The size of a “small penis” or “micropenis” that requires medical treatment differs. Cases of small penis that truly need treatment are not unusual in society.
A penis shorter than 4 cm when flaccid and shorter than 7.5 cm when erect is called a “small penis” and requires surgical treatment. It is found in about 0.14% of the population on average. This condition is congenital and often caused by hormonal or genetic factors.
Surgery for a small penis can be effective. In cases where the penis is normal size but the patient wants it longer and thicker, we also treat it surgically.
Is penis size related to the body?
The relationship between penis length and finger length, hand, arm and leg length, and foot length shows no correlation between penis size and obesity (overweight, obese).
Especially if there is excessive fat at the base of the penis (above the pubic area), the penis may appear small in these individuals. In reality, the penis is not small but is buried in the fatty tissue due to excess lubrication.
We successfully remove fat in this area through surgery to reveal the normal size of the penis. Additionally, following a general weight loss program is more effective for these patients.
What factors affect the length and thickness of the penis?
In some cases, the penis may shrink in adult men with normal penis length. Diseases that cause penis shrinkage (shrinkage, pulled) include the following:
- Old age
- Obesity (overweight, obese)
- Prostate cancer surgery (radical prostatectomy without nerve-sparing)
- Disease causing penile curvature (Peyronie’s disease)
Is there a relationship between body weight and penis size?
The relationship between penis size and body weight is also an interesting topic. Every 15-20 kilograms of weight gain can shorten the penis by about 2.50 cm, especially in the area above the pubic bone (penile base), where the penis visibly shortens.
In this regard, we recommend patients with excessive fat accumulation at the penile base to use this oil. After this process, the penis will lengthen by about 2.5-3 cm.
We also perform penile suspensory ligament release surgery for patients. With these two surgical methods, patients gain an average penis length increase of 2.5-5 cm.
Is penis size important to women?
Penis length has always been a debated and interesting topic. Although men may think penis size is important to women, it is not always so for women.
Studies among women show that about 77% of women state that penis size (length and girth) is not important for a happy sexual experience.
Is it possible to increase penis length and girth through surgery?
Surgery can increase penis length and girth. We significantly lengthen and thicken the penis in our surgeries. However, the desired increase in thickness and length cannot always be achieved surgically.
There are certain limitations to enlargement. The normal structure of the penis is not suitable for unlimited stretching. To know how much it can be extended,
a physical examination is necessary. We provide the maximum lengthening using modern surgical techniques. If successful, the penis length increases on average by 2.5-5 cm, depending on the individual.
Summary: Thai and Western societal attitudes toward penis length
“Sex” thus has many dimensions: knowledge, power, and economics. Increasingly, “sex” becomes a prominent part of daily life because it is close to us and a commodity with a constant consumer base in modern society.
