In quarantine watching the trashiness of trashy TV Maury doing one of his “You’re Not the Father!” segments. The segment started off normal enough, woman with two year old child wanting to do a paternity test on a man she claims is the father. The weirdest part however came when Maury asked why specifically she thought this man was the father and not someone else, and she made the bold claim that “Well it’s obvious since both him and my child have huge penises so it’s genetics.” Now, I understand exaggeration (No I don’t think this two year old child is walking around with a large man sized penis) but if it’s big enough to be noticeable at that age, that has to be quite out of the ordinary. Is it really possible to have a “big” penis as a very small child? Sorry if this sounds improper but the fact Maury brought it up on his show just made me question everything. ---

Yes, it’s possible. Link spoilered due to two-click rule. [Abnormally Long Penis in Children with Vesical Calculus - PMC](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3585538/) ---

I have zero scientific evidence or research or articles to cite, but presumably, yes - the adult men who have 10-inch long dongs probably had larger-than-usual dongs when they were infants/toddlers - in the same way that a man like Yao Ming, who was well over seven feet tall, was probably also taller/longer than the average baby/toddler. Larger size as an adult probably correlates proportionally to larger size as a young kid. ---

I remember reading an article in my dad’s Rolling Stone magazine (probably almost two decades ago, now) about some otherwise ordinary guy who was quite over-endowed. One segment of the article mentioned that he was attracting stares in the locker room in grade school ‘cause his equipment was already bigger than his classmates’ dads’ were. ---

Another anecdote: a good friend of mine has three sons. While her middle son was still a little baby, my friend and her husband had already noted that he was noticeably well-endowed. My friend, who does tend to over-share a bit, told me that her son continued to be “above average” at least through his toddler years. (He’s now a 27 year old; I have no idea if he still above average. 😃 ) ---

Yep, I’ve seen it. A friend of mine was changing her baby at my house. When the diaper came off, my other male friend and I were both: “Woa! WTF?” The mom just laughed. ---

Allegedly, my husband was very tall - and long - from a very early age, as he is as an adult. The “tall” part can be verified by photos, but there are no baby nudies. ---

Without commenting on size, and noting that I haven’t seen my son totally naked in a few years, but even when he was not fully developed, he looked remarkably like his father in the “area.” In fact, it was the place where they had the most resemblance. The boychik has my eye, and looks like my brother in some ways, but definitely has his dad’s junk. Or, I assume does. So, size notwithstanding, nor the crassness of expressing it on a national talkshow, I would not immediately discount that the boy could be the man’s son due to a strong resemblance in the bathing suit area. ---

4 weeks into lockdown, the conversation has turned into a discussion of the size of Juvenile dongs, something which in normal times would have led to an immediate locking, banning and probably police report. ---

[Precocious puberty](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precocious_puberty) (or [precocious pseudopuberty](https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/923876-overview)) can, even in a young child, cause sexual maturation. During my training, I saw a 6-year-old boy with a penis that most men would be proud of.
