Now UK’s respected sex educator Dr. Petra Boynton has new revelations about both faux procedures, their horrifying consequences, and the troubling role of tabloid media in the real-life effects of trendy and untested genital procedures. It begs the question: who are the people doing these unreviewed procedures, and when will procedures/treatments for sexual pleasure enhancements *finally* be seriously and honestly evaluated for safety and efficacy?
