I’ll just say this about mine. It may not be very big around, but at least it’s short. :eek: :smack: 🆒 ---

Without going into specifics, I will say that mine is larger than average… and I’ve been told so many times by Mrs. D. ---

Um, I’ll advertise it as “average.” Most of the time it’s pretty short but it clears the fly easily. At other times it’s…rather effective. ---

I _think_ I’m about average, but I’ve never been sure where exactly you’re supposed to measure from. Any tips? FTR, I’m a grower, not a shower, and he can look a pathetic little fellow when he’s at ease. ---

Hung like a gnat. I would only date women with really tiny hands when I was out in the world, because I could admire how massive it seemed. ---

A hair under six inches, but my balls are huge. People think I’m speaking metaphorically when I make that claim. But barring birth defects and serious medical conditions, I can usually be pretty sure that in any given crowd, I’ve got the biggest balls there. ---

I’d don’t like to brag, but I will say it’s somewhere between five and ten inches. Like exactly between. 🆒 ---

7.5 inches, and to be honest I always thought that it was average. I always just assumed that the 5.5 inch mark was to make guys feel better… Guess not eh? ---

Ok I just measured to be absolutely sure. At maximum arousal(boneage) I clock in at an even 7 inches and I will add that I have been told I have very large balls. ---

What’s with the big balls? Is that generally considered a source of pride amongst the guys?
