Physical not mental health

[jimpollard]

This Forum is for the discussion of penis health.

If you think something about your penis (its size, shape, appearance or whether or not its circumcised) is affecting your mental health, this is not the place for that. Nor is it the place for the discussion of cosmetic issues.

You’ll find information on the penis on our main website at:

menshealthforum.org.uk/peni...

You’ll also find plenty on mental health at:

menshealthforum.org.uk/how-...

If you’re concerned about your mental health, try to think more widely about your life and what has happened to you rather than just focusing on one thing like your penis. Discuss or get help with these wider issues. The truth is that if you’re having negative thoughts about your penis, it is far more likely to be a symptom of a mental health problem than the cause of it.

If there’s demand for a separate men’s mental health forum, we can consider it with our colleagues at Health Unlocked.

Suggestion

How about a couple sticky posts to lessen the same issues that are repeated time and time again, which at times, inadvertently violate the forums rules.

For example, 'Circumcision Issues, Read this' or 'Unhappy about your penis, Read this'

Of course physical and mental health are interlinked. It is indeed unfortunate that the administrators of this forum see differently.

Its not a mental heath problem, just an experience. For me, these are small wounds compared to what I have taken care of. Yet I think every man is concerned about healing

I disagree with the stated restrictions. The more restrictions, including photos, the less valuable the forum becomes as a (formerly) important international resource.

I agree. It's a shame that the facility to include images was abused and we have insufficient volunteers to operate any other policy.
