    This dude was interviewed on British TV a while back. It was amazing how open about the whole thing he was.

    He wanted to raise awareness because if he had sought medical help when he was young, the likelihood of medical intervention being successful is greatly increased.
    He wants other people to go get help if they need it.

      It’ll be measured at standard temperature and pressure to ensure consistent results across the board. If you’re too cold they’ll wait until you come back up to temp.

    Seeing the insane amount of giant pickup trucks Americans drive, this guy is just a waterdrop in a giant ocean.

    Specifically he wants to raise awareness of the fact that he’s got one, for the benefit of enthusiasts.

    I hope he did anyway cause he’s gonna get sought out.

      Yeah if he is correct I wouldn’t want to shout that out myself but congrats on him for bringing awareness to an issue that I’m sure many men’s lives have been worse for. Not like we can control the size of any body part but it would make for difficult relationships. Yes I know size isn’t everything but that’s a bit different category of issue is all.

        I think the full phrase is “size isn’t everything, its how you use it” but bro has nothing to use. As disabilities go, its one of the easier ones to have - able bodied and normal-looking with all five senses. It sucks that he misses out on sexual relationships, but so do loads of people with much worse conditions.

          I’m not sure he misses out on sexual relationships at all though. Strap ons are a thing, and can be very effective (ask a lesbian, or a trans man!) and there are LOTS of ways to have sex that don’t involve the traditional act people tend to reduce it down to.

          Also, disabled people also have sex. The idea that they don’t is ableist AF.

    I’m pretty sure most new born boys have a larger penis than that… I struggle to believe that his tool would really be THAT tiny.

    “Chef, where can I find the clitoris?”

    “Well, Stanley. In this man’s pants is something resembling that”

    I never thought I’d say this, but I’m pretty sure this dude is lying about how small his dick is.

    I read a blog post years ago by a trans dude about how seeing how little the winner of a smallest penis contest gave a shit helped him not give a shit about his own dick situation.

    so, i guess it’s nice for insecure people to see stuff like this?

      I’m convinced body dysmorphia is linked to a lack of some public nudity at beaches etc where you can see fat, short, flabby etc all on display and realize you’re kinda normal, our only interaction with nudity is the body types seen in porn.

        Its not specific to nudity at beaches, but more of a general thing. Expectations about what a body should look like and the extreme focus on a binary gender is incredibly harmful for everyone, since it creates boxes were everyone tries to fit into. When we AS society collectively work on demolishing these boxes it remives a lot of stress for everyone who previously had been excluded by these boxes. Realizing, that bodies are different and that it is no shame to look different from some arbitrary beauty standard, that’s unreachable for most people, is one of the best things that can happen to you.

        You do occasionally see flaccid cocks in media and IRL, but only from guys confident enough to show it in the first place, which skews public perception a fair bit.

        I went to school with a girl who’d only ever seen erections drawn. To her first boyfriend, she said “is that it?” the first time she saw a boner. It was a perfectly average cock, but she’d been expecting something the size of a cucumber

        I live in an area of Germany where nudist beaches (FKK in Germany) are very popular, and it doesn’t seem to help body dismorphia at all
