Police barred from penis enlargement
Fri, Apr 23 2010
JAKARTA (Reuters) - Forget about getting a job as a police officer in Indonesia's Papua if you have had your penis enlarged. You won't get it, according to local media reports citing the Papua police chief....

The ban was applied since the unnatural size causes "hindrance during training," said police spokesman Zainuri Lubis in Jakarta, quoted by news portal Detik.com....

Indonesia's remote easternmost province is home to Papuan tribes, many of whom are known for wearing penis gourds....

Papuans use a local technique to achieve the enlargement, according to a sexologist quoted by local newspaper Jakarta Globe, wrapping the penis with leaves from the "gatal-gatal" (itchy) tree so that it swells up "like it has been stung by a bee," the expert said.

1. Good to know.

2. Well, they could make some money marketing that stuff here.

[NikRik]

3. No Thanks !

Anything that your bodies reaction to it is to swell up is not going near my family jewels ! Iam quite happy as is my wife with what I was given by mother nature ! Good luck to those of you who so strongly believe size is so important you would use a method some culture is a third world country uses ! We have something called the FDA that first makes sure things are safe ,well at least thats what they are suppose to do ? I have a money saving idea ,why dont you just find a bee hive and place your unit in that for a bit,Iam sure some swelling will follow ?
Good Luck NikRik

4. Bad suggestion

besides, that would constitute "bee-stiality"! At least with the leaves, no animals are harmed. It's unbelievable what they think will make your tallywhacker bigger in some areas of the world.

11. "Bee-stiality"

DUzey!

:rofl:

14. Really, I wasn't proposing it for either you or me (I don't have a "unit" anyway).

Just that with all the "enlargement" ads in this country that there's obviously a market for it. I would have no problem with someone from Papua New Guinea profitting from this preexisting demand. It's not as if we haven't sold some pretty unsavory products from our culture to them.

I stand by my statement that with proper marketing this could make someone alot of money. It would of course be sold as a "natural herbal product".

5. Too much information too early in the day!

[marmar]

6. "hindrance during training"

Is that your baton or are you just glad to see me?

[Wizard777]

9. I think it's BS! If I can get mine swinging it does increase my forward momentum.

But on the down side. The pendulum effect does increase my gravitation toward strip clubs. It's the damnedest thing even if it is all cause and effect.

:rofl:

Btw, Where can I get one of those trees? None of my trees look to be particularly "itchy." I've been watching them all morning and they have yet to even try to scratch something.

[nebenaube]

10. well I suppose if it's itching...

the constant response could interfere with training...

[OnyxCollie]

7. Why don't they get bigger guns

like the police here do?

[madokie]

8. and where do I get these itchy tree leaves?

probably wouldn't work in my case though:rofl:
The things you can read on the internets :-)

[harry_pothead]

12. You're fired.

[itsrobert]

13. I think Reuters fell for a marketing trick

Someone is trying to sell this to the masses. Look for your email box being flooded with the "news story" and advertising the gatal gatal.

[petronius]

15. I wonder if whatever is on the leaf to cause swelling remains behind

after the treatment? Could be very unpleasant for partners...
