I started puberty before my 11th birthday. At the young age of 10 I was taller than boys in my neighborhood who were 12 and although I was height/weight proportional, I began to get a complex because I weighed more than other boys my age. It wasn't until I was 12 and in 7th grade when I first saw other boys nude in the gym locker room and showers that I realized my cock and balls were also advanced compared to theirs.
At that time in my life I had no idea bigger was considered better. All I knew is I didn't have the same pre-pubescent penis my friends had and I felt awkward. I was teased and I know now it was probably envy, but at that age I only felt like a freak.
If I recall correctly I was 14 when it seemed other boys caught up with me in terms of height and weight and pubic hair. The area where I still didn't fit was my penis. By then I did realize males wished for a bigger cock and I had one. I would occasionally see one of the gym teachers nude and my 14 year old dick was larger than their adult sizes. Rather than gloating about being bigger, what stood out to me was their body hair.
I equated body hair with masculinity when I was a boy. I dreamed of the day I would also have hair on my chest and and legs. It never came. I had the bush, but otherwise I was and am pretty hairless. I made up for my smooth body by acting more masculine to make sure everyone knew I was.
My point with this post is we all have to learn to accept ourselves as we are. There are things like diet and exercise we can do to improve upon what we were born to be, but once I realized my height, my weight, my lack of body hair, and my penis size didn't define me, I became happier and more confident.
My wife and I are so lucky to have three great kids. We have raised them to be confident about their bodies. They are now 16, 18, and 20 and all of them are very well adjusted about themselves. They all work to be their best selves, and accept things about themselves they may wish was different. I feel like I am successful in my life for this achievement alone. If you are lucky enough to be a parent, be aware of the impact you can make on your kid's self-esteem.
I can wish I had the body of Adonis, but I don't. I have to work hard just to avoid gaining weight and buying larger clothes. I have managed to maintain my weight and waist size for a long time and I realize my buddies my age have mostly not been able to do this. I accept who I am. I love who am.
