“He ran for governor of Kansas, hoping to stack the medical board with friendly faces who would restore his medical license.”

I can’t help but admire the guy for being both so relentlessly unqualified and intent on still making money. That’s dedication!

“Excessive scrotal split” is among the least awful things I have read online today. Thank you.

As I already mentioned last week, I can’t recommend strongly enough the biography, “Charlatan”, by Pope Brock. It tells Brinkley’s life story, but it also weaves it together with the history of “male vigor” quackery and other quacks, how there were legitimate doctors with real degrees in this era who thought there…

The pain of the operation and Moore’s taunting reference to “Mr. Tumescent” ringing in his ears, Lewis hid in a wardrobe for months, leading to the idea of half-man, half…

Are goat balls bigger than human balls? Just shoving extra testicles into an already occupied ballsack doesn't seem comfortable. Once again, old timey medicine is insane. At least this was modern enough that mostly everyone saw it as quackery

Oh, geez, yeah I misread what you said. Sorry about that!

It’s time for Savage Nobody! The advice column for anyone of any gender interested in pegging! Especially inhabitants of Savage Nobody’s home world, which has 19 different genders!
