Sex Police Will Reject Applicants with Enlarged Penises

- The Itchy Business
An applicant "will be asked whether or not his vital organ has been enlarged," said Papua police chief Bekto Suprapto, quoted on local website Kompas.com.The best part of the report is the repression in the libidinal economy has a reflection in the repression taking place in the general economy."If he has, he will be considered unfit to join the police or the military."
The ban was applied since the unnatural size causes "hindrance during training," said police spokesman Zainuri Lubis in Jakarta, quoted by news portal Detik.com.
Indonesia's remote easternmost province is home to Papuan tribes, many of whom are known for wearing penis gourds.
A low-level separatist insurgency has waged in the resources-rich part of Indonesia for decades and there is a heavy police and military presence there.
Papuans use a local technique to achieve the enlargement, according to a sexologist quoted by local newspaper Jakarta Globe, wrapping the penis with leaves from the "gatal-gatal" (itchy) tree so that it swells up "like it has been stung by a bee," the expert said.

I didn't read the byline at first, but as soon as I saw the phrase "the repression in the libidinal economy" I knew exactly who had posted this.

Reuters link for sourcing, but Charles quoted it in its entirety.
Crappily written story from ethnographic/medical points of view, with unrelated facts shoveled in by the reporter. Penis gourds have nothing to do with the irritant leaves; the two are not used together. Penis gourds would not be worn with Western clothing. Any enlargement resulting from a chemical irritant would be temporary, not permanent. So unless tribesmen are ballooning up their wangs to avoid forced conscription into government service, perhaps with the knowledge and support of the government itself, there's no story here.

Wait, how does an enlarged organ cause "hindrance during training"? What the hell are they using their dicks for in training?

Am I the only one who read this and thought about how painful it would be to wrap up your penis in itchy, stinging leaves? These people are crazy.
