 HOTDOG HELPERS:
 The Caramoja tribe of northern Uganda tie a weight on the end of their penises

 of cloth, making them look up to 17 inches long.

 England's King Edward VII, a man of considerable heft, had a special table
 built so that he could comfortably engage in sexual intercourse.

 It was considered elegant for aristocratic ladies of the sixteenth century to
 let their pubic hair grow as long as possible so it could be pomaded and
 adorned with bows and ribbon.

 In fourteenth-century Europe, high-ranking noblemen were permitted to display
 their genitals below a short tunic, while those not impressively endowed
 could, if they chose, wear a leather falsie called a braquette.

 Given today's average frequency of sexual intercourse, it would take the
 typical American couple more than four years to try every one of the 529
 positions described in the Kama Sutra.
