Thought it funny that the person who asked the question about penis length started with 13 inches. I have a friend who at 13 had a “dead” penis length of 14 inches. He is really touchy about the subject and I never really asked him anymore about it. Just that I went to his house before work one day and he was sleeping and well, it had fallen out somehow in his sleep. That day answered for me though why he refused to wear a standard wrestling uniform in junior high and why he refused to “dresss out” for gym. Poor chap. Wonder if he holds any records though… ---

I don’t know why he would be embarassed about that! I am sure he was very popular amongst the ladies!(women and gay men)! Everyone can have fun with a man hung like a horse! ---

And forget about oral sex unless you can find someone who enjoys gagging. ---

When I was in high school there was a kid who was proud, not ashamed, of his “foot”. In gym class he would often get a full erection while showering and made a big show of it. By far the biggest I’ve ever seen, way bigger than porno stars. We tried teasing him but that didn’t work, eventually everyone just ignored it and moved on. I don’t know if he was gay or not. Other kids sometimes got boners too. ---

Then it wouldn’t have taken until I had a girlfriend in college who wasn’t a virgin to figure out what the problem in the bedroom with the earlier one was… And I’m going to shut up now.
