Posted on Wed, 13 Jan 2016
Question: I got XXXX.

PLEASE overlook the bad language. It keeps me from being suicidal.
Look at the following videos to demonstrate my point:

I am bothered and ANGERED AT GOD for this one thing.
WHY ARE MY @$#$## ARMS, AND FOREARMS, SO @#%#%# SHORT for a man?
I understand, and have seen, the average 5'8 man has a longer forearm than the average 6 foot tall woman. I, however, at 6 feet tall, have a shorter forearm than the average 5'9 woman!

I have an arm fetish. HOT girls with long arms and, oh the tension! The sweet release is the knowledge MINE are somehow longer - my forearms that is. MOST of the time my forearms ARE ONLY LONGER than the 5'5 girls and shorter. @%#$@$#% WHYYYY?
I have not had a full erection since 1997, when I began manually measuring hot girl's forearms, and found I just don't XXXX measure up, AND I WANT TO KILL MYSELF AND XXXX unless I can get Ilizarov cosmetically "bone-lengthening" surgery so I do not have to have blue balls no more! I HATE XXXX! XXXX is XXXX NASTY TO ME, that wet clump of hair makes me want to XXXX! Ladies, PLEASE keep your XXXX clothes on, at least a XXXX!
XXXX! XXXX out of that, XXXX! XXXX? Ewwwwww! What the XXXX's so special about XXXX? XXXX, XXXX! I don't want her XXXX spit in my XXXX mouth!

My arms are normal, but, WHY ARE THEY SO XXXX?

(XXXX)!

XXXX

XXXX

Many women have told me, "You're a man, so your arms are supposed to be longer."
I had one tell me, "I don't want you to measure my arm again because I'm embarrassed to have longer arms than a man."
Me, I was XXXX XXXX... at XXXX...!!!

Brief Answer:
Overall arm span is important. Ilizarov procedure disadvantages at this point

Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

Have you ever sustained trauma to your forearms ?

Have you any birth defects possible?


Having short forearms can just be something generic and inherited from your parents or ancestors. It need not necessarily be a problem.

As long as you are able to carry out your daily activities optimally, there is no issue.

Ilizarov bone lengthening can increase the size of you're forearms but there may be disadvantages like cosmetic issues if having a ring fixator around your forearm, the weight of the fixator, difficulty in keeping your hands by your sides, inability to lift weights during the procedure, long duration of treatment etc.

I think measuring the overall arm span will be more quantitative than just forearm length. Your arm span should be longer than those of the women.

Kindly do answer my queries for me to be in a better position to help you.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

I am willing to undergo professional bone-lengthening because i NEED longer forearms for me to get an erection BECAUSE IT ALONE turns me on (having longer forearms than the females.)

Can stem cell (in the future) or genetic engineering get my arms to grow longer naturally by temporarily reopening the epiphyseal plates?

Brief Answer:
Ilizarov is best.

Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

Ilizarov bone lengthening is one of the alternatives best suited for long bone lengthening. Other methods have less success rate and more complications. Epiphyseal parts is already fused and cannot be reopened for any such procedure but rather metaphyseal corticotomy and lengthening is the procedure of choice best elicited with Ilizarov. You can get a consult with a Deformity correction specialist for the same.
