Men play with their peckers in more ways than one. They’re constantly searching for new means of toying with its size, shape, and sexual performance. In fact, a recent study published in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior found that roughly 1 in 4 men are dissatisfied with the length or look of their penis. But the myriad methods of fixing this dissatisfaction are becoming downright dangerous.

The newest hazardous enhancement trend has fellas freezing their manhood through a treatment called “Love Mist.” The regimen involves blasting your bits with negative 256 degree liquid nitrogen vapor to stiffen it into a penis popsicle. The “Love Mist” marketing scheme is sold on two key principles.

The first is that once the frigid cold covers the skin of your schlong, the sudden drop in heat triggers your temperature receptors, which induces your brain to tell your blood vessels to undergo “vasoconstriction” (tightening of your blood vessels). Simply put, freezing your penis makes it hard.

“This produces a quicker blood flow and ramps up endorphin levels, generating a natural high,” writes the staff of Ainscow Spa, an England health club that offers “Love Mist” treatments.

The second selling point is that the procedure can enhance the overall appearance of your package. Purportedly, when your penis flesh freezes, your body’s natural response to repair the skin will result in a healthier-looking hard-on.

“While the skin continues to feel the ‘freeze,’ the body sends signals back and forth to the brain,” Ainscow spa claims. “These messengers tell the brain if there is damage to the tissues, to repair them. This generates a tighter, youthful, clear, and vibrant genital skin appearance through boosting collagen.”

Such miracle remedies should always be approached with skepticism. Copious health hazards involving the “Love Mist” chemical came to light only a few years ago, when a teenager had her stomach surgically removed after drinking a cocktail containing liquid nitrogen.

The chemical’s alternative applications should be regarded, as well. Consider that liquid nitrogen is also used to instantly singe away warts, in which the surrounding skin decays and simply falls off. Also keep in mind that objects sprayed with liquid nitrogen can be effortlessly shattered into a million pieces.

But if you’re willing to subject your junk to sub-zero temperatures to improve your sexual performance, be our guest. Among the male enhancement alternatives of silicon surgeries and injecting your dick with olive oil, “Love Mist” doesn’t seem so bad. Just sign the liability waiver acknowledging the potential risk of pulverizing your penis, and you’re on your way to pleasure-town.
