TOPIC: Swelling after Sex With A PMMA Enhanced Penis

Musky wrote: PMMA will have the same effect as asbestos over the long term. Chronic inflammation, fibrous tissue and other problems.

I think the asbestos analogy isn\'t very good. Sure there is the potential for chronic inflammation & fibrous tissue, but it probably stops right there. PMMA isn\'t a known human carcinogen like Asbestos is, and furthermore, the biggest problem (outside of cancer) with asbestos is that you breathe it, which ultimately affects your lungs and your ability to breathe normally (over time). Let\'s be clearer with our analogies, and more sensitive too.

Asbestos is exactly the correct analogy. Asbestos is a foreign body (it\'s a mineral) that the body can\'t get rid of it. So there is chronic inflammation at the point where the foreign body irritates the lung tissue. Scar tissue, fluid and swelling all increase at the site of the irritation. PMMA is the same. The body can\'t get rid of it so there is inflammation and other responses to the foreign substance. Asbestos affects the lungs because that is where it is. PMMA will affect the penis because that is where it is. Chronic inflammation in the lungs affects breathing. Chronic inflammation in the penis will affect penile function. If you injected asbestos into you penis then you would get bigger Girth and inflammation. The body will try to protect itself from the irritant. Over time, the immune system creates swelling and scar tissue.

You have to understand how asbestos causes cancer. It simply irritates the cells around it to the point of chronic inflammation. Over the very long term this inflammation can in a SMALL number of cases become cancerous. The chances of cancer from PMMA is SMALL but the cycle of irritation and inflammation is the same as asbestos. Not to be rude, but your ignorance of foreign bodies, PMMA and asbestos is shocking. I am not trying to scare anyone. But the long term effects of inflammation are serious. Nobody has had PMMA in their penis for 20-25 years so the jury is out. But we know for sure that the body is reacting to the PMMA and the immune system is trying to protect the body.

I know a good deal about how asbestos causes cancer, and it is true that being an irritant is a catalyst towards a cancer process. The fact is though, the cancer rate among people who have been exposed to asbestos is approximately .002 percent. However, in the lungs, developing swelling and inflammatory changes is a big deal, as lung capacity is diminished, which is a bad thing for obvious reasons. Swelling in the penis, as long as it does subside, is a relatively neutral affliction, as it does not impede normal function. This is an organ that routinely swells and it is in fact built to do that.

I felt the need to elaborate on the mention of asbestos as it is a loaded word, and as a known carcinogen that causes mesothelioma, it triggers alarm bells. It needs to be noted however that even with a known and notorious carcinogen like asbestos, the actual rate of cancer affliction is low. Lets not give people attacks and ulcers without some real facts here.

This is where the analogy falls apart completely. There is no proof of this other than mere speculation derived from a carcinogen\'s affects on a completely different organ.

The only complication from inflammation that I\'m aware of in the penis would be FBGs... which presently hasn\'t been theorized or demonstrated to affect penile function.

Precisely. There are probably even more analogies we could drop up for the PMMA mechanism, but not all of them are entirely accurate and/or sensitive.

I think the only possible alignment to Musky\'s thinking is chronic inflammation... not inflammation after sex.

This was one of my concerns about chronic inflammation, it\'s well know chronic inflammation causes cancer. I wonder if the guy who injected himself with olive oil and years later develop penis cancer was due to this. Best bet is to google and see if other people who have had PMMA long term have had this as a side effect but I haven\'t seen any posts or article/studies saying anything about this being the case with PMMA, which is good? Still a new product tho.

This has nothing to do with PMMA and everything to do with nocturnal tumescence. Your body has been producing testosterone and other hormones during sleep. Nocturnal tumescence is natures way of protecting your organ. The process has nothing to do with physical nor psychological arousal.

Reducing stress and exercising have a tremendous impact on the quality of your erections. By being completely relaxed during coitus, you will achieve maximum engorgement of the copora cavernosum and glans. The slightest insecurity or doubt will reduce the size of your Erection.

I do not experience swelling during intercouse nor afterward, personally. I also limit ejaculation to twice per week for maximum T production. Oxytocin is not your friend. Men were not meant to bond; we are here to plant our seed in as many women as possible to ensure species survival. This is one reason married men, particularly with children (and performing a fatherly role) have lower overall T.
