Man taking weight loss jabs reveals shocking way it had major impact on his penis and sex life

Weight loss jabs are now more popular than ever - but whilst most people turn to them for weight loss in the most visible parts of their body, one man has claimed it has had an extra byproduct effect.

After using weight loss jab Wegovy, James* noticed a dramatic change in his physical body - like many users of the GLP-1 medications on offer.

While he suddenly noticed muscles he'd never seen before and found he was looking '10 years younger', there was one main thing that James did not expect to see.

The 55-year-old told the Metro: ‘I’m not one to jump on celebrity fads, but I needed a little bit of an extra push. Dieting is the most painful, boring thing in the world, and I’d heard a lot about Ozempic, so I did a lot of research and decided to give it a go."

With a sporty background of two decades, James stepped back from competing last year and as he didn’t have any targets for fitness at the time, he fell into bad health, resulting in eating and drinking purely out of boredom.

This was when he decided to dabble in the world of weight loss jabs.

Wegovy, which is manufactured by the same company that produces Type-2 diabetes drug Ozempic, is an injector pen that you administer weekly to yourself into the upper arms, stomach, thighs or buttocks.

But whilst James didn’t inject it into the area that seemed to have the adverse effect, it seems his private area had quite the transformation.

James noticed that his genitalia seemed to be a bigger size than he was used to seeing due to the weight loss aorund his stomach and thighs.

"If anything, my penis looks bigger, because you lose body fat around it and your overall mass gets smaller," James said. "It’s like when you shave your bush and it makes it look bigger."

Although some people have noted that weight loss injections lower their sex drive, James says the opposite happened to him, claiming that he is having ‘better sex’ because of the drug.

"If you have an impulsive drive for sex, it would affect that," he explained. "But I have a normal sexual appetite, so actually it’s made me enjoy sex more because I’m not as self-conscious of my body and I’ve got more energy."

Novo Nordisk, the pharmaceutical company behind Wegovy, responded with a statement to James’ claims: "Patient safety is of the utmost importance to Novo Nordisk, and we recommend patients take these medications for their approved indications and under the supervision of a healthcare professional. We continuously collect safety data on our marketed GLP-1 medicines and work closely with the authorities to ensure patient safety.

"As part of this work, we continue to monitor reports of adverse drug reactions through routine pharmacovigilance. We recommend that any patient experiencing side effects while taking GLP-1s, including Wegovy®▼and Ozempic® (semaglutide injection), report them to their healthcare provider and via the MHRA Yellow Card scheme: https://yellowcard.mhra.gov.uk/."
