If you have advice, great. Otherwise, you can just enjoy a HUGE laugh at my expense. Whatever.
In the airport bathroom yesterday I vacate the changing table and can’t help but notice that the tiny feller getting his diaper changed has quite a pecker. It’s not the first time I’ve gulped when doing a visual comparison.
My son is hung like a mouse. Seriously.
It’s the kind of thing one doesn’t lay awake night worrying about, but I wonder if size changes drastically as they grow. I don’t want him dying of shame in the locker room as a teen, know what I mean? But I’ll be hornswaggled before I ask his doctor this question. At best I’d get a smirk and become his next great Story To Tell Over Cocktails. At worst I’ll get an alarmed entry in his file and a referral to counseling for being neurotic.
And for the record, it doesn’t appear to run in the family. Thanks for wondering.
How old is your son? I have a two year old nephew who has grown quite a bit since last year. And then there’s puberty and everything. I’m sure he’ll be fine. And if it does cause problems during his teen years and, although it’s highly doubtful, he does tell you just let him know it’s not the size of the package, it’s how you deliver. And if that doesn’t work, encourage him to become a monk or something.
CrankyAsAnOldMan, I know just how you feel. My son, too, was rather underendowed, and I used to sneak comparison looks and feel dismayed.
My son is thirteen now, and I havn’t seen said appendage for about two years, so I’m not sure if it’s gained any ground or not. I really should get his Dad to take him to the gym.
Anyway, I did speak to the doctor about it once, and she said that sometimes the fat pad around the base of the penis can obscure some of the shaft in babies, and she did mention that puberty can cause some pretty remarkable changes as well.
Perhaps your son will be “a grow-er, not a show-er”. Not knowing how old your son is … I don’t think the size of an infant is a very good indicator of the final result.
fly (sigh). The doctor said he’s smaller than average after she snipped him but that there’s also the pudgy fat in there that hides it, so it isn’t like he’s a freak I suppose.
Of course, I’m blaming my wife’s genes regardless. At least he’s already got her beautiful eyes, button nose and hopefully her smarts, so maybe he’ll be the little acorn that becomes the mighty oak.
This is too funny. I had two boy type babies. The first was really tiny and the second, well, we had to check after putting on the diaper to make sure it was tucked in. I remember when he was born, and I changed him with all the relatives standing around, and my ex said “He didn’t get that from me” and my Dad got a huge grin on his face till my Mom elbowed him and said “I think not” At any rate, both boys are grown and the one that got shortchanged has no lack of girls trying to get him to the altar, so I’m guessing it hasn’t made any difference.
I didn’t know what to compare my son’s tallywacker with as I had nothing equivalent with all the girls in our neighborhood to gauge this equipment by. Then I changed my cousin’s sons diaper. The boy is only 4 months younger than my 2 year old and all I gotta say is, " Maaaan, my son is hung like a horse compared to the peeshooter that kid has."
A falabella horse, but its still a horse.
Naturally, my question that I’ve always wanted to ask the Doctor, but won’t because it’s so stupid is, " Is it suppose to be so purplish?" I mean, is he a Vikings fan living in Detroit or what?
Shirley, that reminded me of something from my childhood. My sister and I would always point to our younger brother’s penis, giggle, and ask why it was so purple. After awhile, the whole family referred to it as his “purple”. We probably traumatized the kid for life…
CrankyAsAnOldMan, we went thru this, but later things caught up in the size department. Also talked to the pediatrician.
You might talk to your childs doctor if you are concerned because you don’t want the kid to notice or he is going to need a shrink for a long time later. The next stage is they like to play with themselves there, let them, its just a stage. If you mention it to the kid, once again, big shrink later.
Always beware the stories a doctor can tell. They can get incredibly gruesome. A surgeon is the only adult (other than Stephen King) who can gross out his 10 year old son.
Your final penis size isn’t resolved until puberty ends. Whether a baby is hung or not will not have any bearing on his future life. I’ve seen my baby pictures and I had a tiny little widget. Happily, the situation has since greatly improved
I thought I was the only on ewho worried about this.
My first husband was pitifully small, and his offspring appears to be as well. the doctor said not to worry, but what could they do anyway?
The other son is more ‘normal’ in size, and a 4 years, he wakes with a boner every morning. He laughs, I laugh, and I tell him: HEY dont point that thing at me!
I have a nephew who is freakishly long though, kinda creepy to see a snake coming outta a baby’s diaper…
I have a 3 year old, and he’s got lots of little cousins his age and a bit older. We have a pool, so I happen to…notice the differences in size quite a bit. He’s got one cousin that is less than a year older and is twice as big, but he’s uncut. I tell myself that it must be an optical illusion. Then I get pissed at myself for worrying about it at all.
And by the way, boys, get it right…size DOESN’T matter, unless it’s less than 4 inches hard and the girth of a cheap hot dog. Anything else I can work with.
In ‘everything you always wante dto know about sex but were afraid to ask’ Ruben states the penis shold be long enough to deposit spermies in the vagina without spilling.
