Are You Budgie Smuggler Ready?

In summer, a six pack isn’t the only thing on show. Yep, we’re talking about down below. From bare legs to budgie smugglers, the beach can shrivel the bravest man’s body confidence. But this can now all change thanks to a new procedure by CALIBRE Clinic. DR. JAYSON OATES, (FRACS) explains...

Already 60 percent of us are feeling the heat about our penis size or shape, according to Dr. Jayson Oates. And that’s before we slip on a pair of swimmers and self-consciously parade our package in some clinging lycra. “Size is an important issue for many men and is considered to symbolize masculinity and sexual prowess,” explains Dr. Oates, a facial plastics and cosmetic surgeon (FRACS).

The issue he most commonly sees is self esteem. “Well endowed” is actually to do more with a man’s psyche than anything else, says Oates. And while all that working out at the gym is great, it won’t muscle up where it is most wanted if that’s the root cause. Like a case of spreading sunburn, a bad day at the beach can quickly show up in unexpected areas, like less confidence in the bedroom and boardroom. “Men commonly believe that ‘bigger is better’ and they need to impress their sexual partners. So when men feel inadequate, it can have a major negative impact on their self-esteem and sexual functioning,” says Oates.
