Influential factors in the doctor’s decision to perform penile enlargement procedures in patients with normal dimensions: a bioethical exploration.

Open Access: No.

Relevance

One of the main reasons why men seek to increase their penis size is “the influence of pornography” – that is, “exposure to unrealistic portrayals of genital norms—particularly through pornography.” Some men “feel they do not conform to the ideals propagated by pornography culture, which often presents an unrealistic view of what is “normal” or desirable.”
