Man injects vaseline into penis. Is surprised to find it doesn't go well.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Do not inject Vaseline into your penis.

Seems obvious, but a man in the UK recently made this mistake, so perhaps it bears repeating:

Do not inject vaseline into your penis.

If you still feel the urge, then please turn your attention to the story of poor Szilveszter, as told by the TLC show Extreme Beauty Disasters.

Szilveszter, 24, thought injecting his dick with petroleum jelly would make it bigger, but all it ending up doing was making his skin fall off.

Szilveszter’s plastic surgeon informed him that the only way to save his penis was to remove the skin, so all the hard gloops of Vaseline could be removed. He went through with the surgery, and a few months later his penis was back to normal.

But still, please, let this be a cautionary tale to men everywhere:

DO NOT INJECT VASELINE INTO YOUR PENIS.
