Woo hoo! An erection. So, you’re already halfway there, albeit there’s a bend in the road. HAHAHA! Get it? A bend?

Anyway, so I just saw this TV spot for a peepee straightener called Xiaflex and I have to admit that it gave me a giggle because we women are always dealing with something or other “down there,” so it helps to know dudes have their own twixt-the-legs issues.

Here’s what Xiaflex is comprised of. collagenase clostridium histolyticum. Holy shit, what is that? And is it something you’d want to trust your (once-trusted) member to?

According to Wikipedia, CCH is an enzyme produced by the bacterium clostridium histolyticum that dismantles collagen. And, this is what I found on the Xiaflex website:

Xiaflex is for “adults” (why don’t they say “men?”) who experience either:

Dupuytren’s Contracture, or rather, a “cord,” that can be felt in the penis, or, for:

Peyronie’s Disease, where men experience a curve in their penis, greater than thirty degrees, before treatment.

Oy.
