With Valentine's Day almost upon us, you'll be seeing countless news stories about love, dating, and all the delightful trappings of the chocolate and flower industries' annual celebration of romance. Unfortunately, Slate had to come along and sully this sacred holiday with a look at, of all things, "male enhancement" products. We'll protect your delicate sensibilities from too many of the sordid details, but suffice it to say the reporter, following extensive research, isn't prepared to endorse either enlargement pills, weights, pumps, or surgical augmentation.
