WHITE privilege - Lelux Hospital in Thailand is offering a skin whitening service - nothing unusual in that is there?

Err, in this case, the objects of whitening are the penis and the vagina - mmm.

Marketing manager Popol Tansakul said they had introduced vagina-whitening services four months ago but “Patients started to ask about penis-whitening, and so we started the treatment a month later”.

Currently an average of 20-30 patients undergo treatment each month, some travelling from other countries for the ‘privilege’.

Thailand’s Public Health Ministry has issued warnings against the practice - and no pictures today.
