The story will entertain Germanophobes. For others it may be a cautionary tale. The writer suggests one reason for this desire for a surgery that makes normal men cringe:<\/p>\n

[W]hy is this happening? The answer is a perfect storm of pornography and typical Germanic pragmatism meeting excellent engineering.<\/p>\n

The Germans love porn almost as much as they love sauerkraut. They\u2019ve enjoyed a very public love affair with the stuff . . .<\/p>\n

Recently, German magazine Der Stern<\/em> asked Porn Hub \u2014\u00a0the world\u2019s biggest porn site \u2014\u00a0to analyse German porn users habits. It turned out the only things that gets in the way of Germans and their porn is Christmas, New Year\u2019s Eve and football \u2014\u00a0and German men\u00a0soon surged to Porn Hub to celebrate their recent World Cup victory.<\/p>\n

Immediately after the full-time whistle blew, Germans, eager to continue their high, logged onto Porn Hub with a 60 per cent above average surge. They did the same after tonking Brazil 7-1.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith most of today\u2019s porn being a phallic freak show,\u201d argues the writer, \u201cit stands to reason the more you watch, the more often you\u2019ll be reminded of your own deficiencies.\u201d He may be right, though he is ascribing reasons without any information about the causes, but that \u201ceager to continue their \u00a0high\u201d is a warning. Pornography changes you \u2014 see for example the Witherspoon Institute\u2019s books <\/a>on The Social Cost of Pornography<\/em>\u00a0\u2014\u00a0even if it doesn\u2019t encourage you to change your body.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
