New Study on Penis Size...

A lack of oxygen to the brain, which was caused by this method of capital punishment can lead to erections forming.

‘It was removed from an 18th century Englishman who was hanged. When people were hanged they’d nearly always get erections and nearly always release their seed’, Viktor Wynd, the museum’s curator told MailOnline.

So, it's possible to be hanged and prove that you're hung?!

For no other reason than blatant curiosity, I've actually asked several gals I know and have known if this matters. Their answers, almost universally, were that size is of less importance than if a guy knows how to use it. I would say two women actually said they liked a bigger dick. It seems to be more of an ego thing on the part of some guys than it is a desire on the part of women. And as the article states, the "desired size" for a one nighter isn't a foot long kielbasa. It's only slightly above average. One thing they did bring up was circumference. That seemed to matter more than length.

It's how the actor David Carridine died. There was also a great band back in the early 90's called Toy Matinee whose lead singer Kevin Gilbert died the same way.

Regular, standard orgasms are just fine for me, thankyouverymuch.

The mandrake plant is supposed to grow where a hanged mans semen drips.
Mandrake (plant) - New World Encyclopedia

It was a common belief in some countries that a mandrake would grow where the semen of a hanged man dripped on to the earth; this would appear to be the reason for the methods employed by the alchemists who "projected human seed into animal earth." In Germany, the plant is known as the Alraune: the novel Alraune by Hanns Heinz Ewers is based around a soulless woman conceived from a hanged man's semen, the title referring to this myth of the mandrake's origins.

The following is taken from "Paul Christian's "The History and Practice of Magic:

Would you like to make a Mandragora, as powerful as the homunculus (little man in a bottle) so praised by Paracelsus? Then find a root of the plant called bryony. Take it out of the ground on a Monday (the day of the moon), a little time after the vernal equinox. Cut off the ends of the root and bury it at night in some country churchyard in a dead man's grave. For thirty days water it with cow's milk in which three bats have been drowned. When the thirty-first day arrives, take out the root in the middle of the night and dry it in an oven heated with branches of verbena; then wrap it up in a piece of a dead man's winding-sheet and carry it with you everywhere.

In that case, a SIMP trumps all.
