The Story
In the 21st century, cosmetic surgery is increasingly a gender-neutral affair, as new treatments for men seem to be popping up every year.
One such procedure is known as a P shot, and its growing popularity is due to the claim that it can revitalize your sex life.
The Snapshot
P shots involve injecting platelet-rich plasma, also known as PRP, into the penis, along with some Botox. This procedure is said to regenerate tissues in the penis, leading to improved sex via better erectile function.
It’s no secret that erections can wind up being harder to achieve or maintain for guys as they age, as treatments like P shots are an innovative way to keep your sex life feeling young.
But how popular are these treatments exactly? Enough that there’s plentiful data on where the most expensive and cheapest options are, apparently — everything from a mere $500 minimum price in Massachusetts to a whopping max of $2,600 in Virginia, according to a new study by Certainly Health.
The study involves data from “a wide range of clinics, med-spas, and wellness centers across multiple states,” suggesting that the procedure may be the trend of the moment when it comes to penile improvements.
The Lesson
While it’s apparently possible to see minor improvements in terms of penis length or girth, the focus of the P shot is really around erectile function.
The fact that guys are willing to pay this kind of money to regain some of the erectile function that they’ve lost over the years is a testament to how much so-called virility is important to male self-conception.
And it’s clear that a procedure that lasts for a while has some cachet, given that more short-term fixes, like pills or cock rings, are easily available by comparison, and much cheaper.
So, if you’re one of the many guys priced out of the P-shot range, don’t forget that there are myriad approaches to this issue — and as lesbians well know, it’s not super hard to pleasure a woman without a rock-hard erect penis.
