"...i would like to point out to benderten that "these africans" don't do any penis modification for tourists. every african man you see from a "remote tribe" doesn't elongate his penis for some sort of fame and glory, a select few to it for religious/ceremonial reasons...
... you're making it seem like it's a publicity stunt, when it really isn't."

Good point. And, thanks.
(Didn't mean to imply the "publicity stunt" slant on all this.)
But, it's often tourists who will come back; "report" and even write upon what they notice, see, or hear about..(whether they really understand "why" or not.) And, it's from those kinds of comments and "hype" that then escalates into all the (undue) notoriety which seems to only perputuate further (crazy!) notions about being "super big".
In all due respect to whomever reads this, I don't have to know whether there are religious reasons and motives behind African tribesmen attaining their distorted conditions or not. For ANY man (otherwise healthy in all regards) to foolishly set out to disfigure and debiliate himself in his genitalia is NOT showing good judgment....period. I don't think I'm wrong in this.
REASONABLE self-improvement is one thing; aiming for the ridiculous...... is quite another.
