Men Now Giving Their Penises Electrosonic Therapy

They're doing it to revive their erections. It did work for Frankenstein.

Move aside, Viagra -- there's a new treatment for erectile dysfunction, and it's, well, shocking.

The procedure, called GainsWave--

GAINZZZ?!?!

--- zaps tens of thousands of sound waves through a man's penis to improve blood flow and enable erections. Scary as it sounds, urologists and sexual-health proponents are getting excited about it.

...

The therapy is available in a handful of practices in New York City and several more nationwide. Its proponents say the sound wave pulses cause new blood vessels and nerve tissue to grow within the penis, enabling better blood flow and possibly improving tissue sensitivity.

But, Reitano notes, the science to support the procedure’s benefits isn't quite there yet.

The Food and Drug Administration has yet to clear GainsWave for use in erectile dysfunction treatment, though it has approved the technology for other types of rehabilitation, such as plantar fasciitis and lateral epicondylitis of the elbow.

Oh well I have plantar fasciiwhatsit or lateral epiconsit. Whatever I need to say I have.

Do I have to put bolts on my penis? Will my pubic hair get silver lightning stripes in it?

Just bonuses, I think.
