Finally an update.
Anyway, I was told by a friend today about an article in today's Straits Times. On the front page of the Home section, headlines read 'JC student kills himself because he thought his private parts were too small'. When I was told the headlines, I couldn't help but broke into hilarious laughter. Like, how can anyone even be so stupid to commit suicide because he thought he wasn't well endowed? It sounded quite ridiculous.
After some thought however, I started to feel abit of pity for the boy who killed himself. From an episode of Oprah I watched earlier, she had these people who suffered from Body Dysmorphic Disorder. It is basically a psychiatric condition that makes the patient imagine there is a serious defect in their appearance. They are excessively concerned about the way they look. Her guests included a woman who had over 20 plastic surgeries in the past decade and a man who would take hours to prepare to go out and yet still worry he doesnt look perfect enough. I thought his case could be linked to this disorder, instead of misinformation of sexual education in schools as the paper suggested.
Or he just watched too much porn and thought he wasn't well endowed enough compared to the male porn stars. Hah.
Further in the report, it appears that a doctor he seeked told the boy that his 'willy' was of an average size of an asian male, but he was still convinced that he didn't have enough 'mojo'. No point telling him this now, but for those who think that their sexual organs are not as 'wow' as porn stars, it is the ability to make their partner feel good that matters instead of how big everything is.
Also, while most of us didn't come from the same gene pool as Brad Pitt or Heidi Klum, physical appearance alone is not enough to judge whether one is a good person or not. Hot hunks can still be jerks, and gorgeous babes can still be bitches.
