Perhaps. The Sierra Madre mountains of Luzon island are indeed the
boondocks. Almost nobody lives there. 8) Last I heard, there were
plans of make the entire mountain range a national park.

This involves inserting metal or ivory pellets under the skin of the
penis.

Another 'device' was used further south in the Philippines (by the
Visayans and men of Surigao in Mindanao): Penis Pins. This involves
the insertion of a pin through the penis head to anchor a type of
cogwheel behind the head.

Boreanesians do something similar. They also use penis pins, but use
it to anchor a series of penis rings behind the head.

You're right, though, this discussion ought to be continued in the
conculture list. So on a conlang note, the Boreanesians have a term
that relates to a condition caused by the penis pins and rings
themselves: "staq". This is a condition similar to canines where the
withdrawal of the male organ from the female organ cannot occur
without the male organ's complete relaxation.
