[QUOTE=groman] Ok, this is probably TMI, but I personally am never “at my best” so to speak unless I am with a girl I want. It’s not something I can trick myself into, I was assuming lots of people were like that, but maybe I’m just a freak. [/QUOTE] Same thing here. In fact, I still clearly remember the first time I did it with a partner, almost 3 decades ago now. I was surprised at seeing the size of that monster! It made an impression that lasts to this day. (In the wall. I was a clumsy teener.) But seriously, getting it up via self manipulation vs becoming ready to penetrate a lover seems to make a difference in my size. A small difference, but still, it is noticable. ---

There is no correllation between foot sizes or penis sizes. This myth was started back in ancient greek times, and persists to this day. Statues of aphrodite and apollo were created using certain ratios which the greeks liked. And they made thier statues agree with these ratios as completly as possible. And that is all. ---

[QUOTE=vetbridge] Why do I get the feeling that you have the smallest feet in town? 😃 [/QUOTE] Oh, now don’t be too hasty, **vetbridge**. Perhaps **Ficer 67** has researched a great many sets of feet and penises. We don’t know yet, without a cite. Perhaps **Ficer 67** can flesh out his assertions. Let’s not be so quick to whip out our, uh, tape measures, or spring to any conclusions. ---

[QUOTE=GingerOfTheNorth] No! It’s boob size. I have giant feet so I stop from tipping over. [/QUOTE] An old gardener’s joke says that Dolly Parton’s tiny feet never grew much, because they were in the shade all the time. ---

Not entirely off-topic: Does anyone know whether gay men have larger feet than straight men? We supposedly have slightly larger penises (on average), and if we also have larger feet, that would prove a correlation. ---

[QUOTE=Endless Flight] My friend and I had a girl tell us the size could be summed up by looking at the distance between the tip of your index finger and the tip of your thumbs when your thumb was bent all the way out. [/QUOTE] (Experiments) Huh. I do have stubby fingers. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Ficer67] There is no correllation between foot sizes or penis sizes. This myth was started back in ancient greek times, and persists to this day. [/QUOTE] So what’s Greek for “The bigger the feet, the bigger the meat”? Or for that matter, “The bigger the nose, the bigger the hose”? ---

[QUOTE=panache45] I have big feet, and even at middle age, they get a little longer and wider every several years.
