"A Huge One Could Be Yours," the email read. "A bigger penis in 60 days or your money back."
"Yeah, right," I thought. "Do they really get enough poor schmucks buying their line to make any money?" But I didn't hit the delete key. Something kept me sitting there. Just the other day I'd walked into our bedroom to find my wife Katie looking through her collection of John Holmes magazines and playing with herself. It made me feel a bit inadequate; I know I'm not the only guy that the late great J.H. has made insecure.
"Shit, it's only $19.95. Even if it doesn't work it's not going to break me," I decided. So I pulled out my credit card and ordered.
Later that evening I told Katie what I'd done. "Oh, Hon," she said, "I like your cock the way it is. Sure I like to fantasize sometimes about having a really big one inside me but I love you Jon for who you are."
"Oh, right," I thought as I smiled at her, my male ego bruised black and blue, "a really big one. Just you wait."
Four days later a priority mail package arrived. I opened it with mixed feelings; on one hand I felt like a complete fool for letting myself fall for such an age old scam while on the other there was the persistent gleam of hope that soon I'd be able to satisfy my wife in a way she'd never been satisfied before. That soon she would worship unquestioningly at the protruding alter of my manhood.
The instructions were absurd. The basis of the treatment was a tube of cream that was supposed to be applied on the penis once a day. The kit also contained several pairs of rubber gloves and a dire warning, printed in large red letters, that said that the cream must not make contact with any other part of the body before the ten minute drying period was up or that part too would become enlarged. "In your dreams," I scoffed. But I followed the instructions carefully.
A couple of days later, after no signs of enlargement had made themselves visible I reread the info sheet and found, hidden away on the back, the small print where it said, "May not work for everyone." "Should be 'may not work for anyone'" was my bitter comment. And yet I continued to apply the cream until it was gone, better to be a total fool than a dummy who gives up too easily.
It was after two more weeks had passed, as Katie and I were making the beast with two backs, when she said, "Jon, it feels bigger." Immediately I pulled out of her, turned on the light, and looked. She looked too. It was bigger. "Oh shit," she said, putting her hand around it. "How big is it going to get?"
