The Age reports President of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgery Dr Alfred Lewis as saying of penis enlargement

It's a completely and absolutely unnecessary operation which I think in the patient requesting it is showing a fairly profound psychological disturbance

Of women, on the other hand, he said

Breasts are public organs and the penis isn't - it's a private organ, women don't want to have big breasts to look right out of clothes, they want to have big breasts to look right in clothes, in public.

Just as well we have these middle aged men, with little or no training in pscyhology, to decide whether the desire to augment a particular body part represents a psychological disorder or not.

The people requesting these operations have a poor self-image and a spare $5,000-$10,000, that is why they are doing it.

The Green Man has a secret approach that costs about the same, involves much less pain and acheives the same result. You have a number of choices

• Save a third world child from poverty and death

• Contribute to the protection of an endangered species

• Help keep a refuge for the homeless open

In the end the size of the penis/breast is not as important as the size of the heart. The way to happiness and a good self-image is not through getting bigger bits but through doing good.
