This is in response to what jason_els said.
First up, I don't think njqt466 meant this maliciously. I think it was a joke.
It didn't offend me, and I don't think it would have regardless of what size
my penis was. However, I do think it would be better for all of us if nobody posted anything making fun of others in any way. Whether it's about race, size, orientation, ethnicity, social class, etc. I know that won't happen, but I'm just saying...
I am just so disappointed at being held up to ridicule like this that there's a pit in my chest. It's a physical, visceral response. I thought that LPSG regular members, of all people, would realize that we're a lot more than our dicks; something more than just a piece of meat just as we are more than our weight, gender, age, or color of our skin.
Most of the regular, core group of posters here, wouldn't make fun of someone else. However, this is a LARGE penis site, and one can expect some ribbing. This is also the INTERNET, and people can make fun without fear of getting their nose broken. I have never seen any forum that allows sexual discussion (even if it's not primarily a sex board) that doesn't offer some nasty comments on penis size. If someone says " I'm 20 and my penis is 5", is that okay?" Some, (usually at least one moderator), will say that is about average, and most of us are average, and it's perfectly okay.
Others will say it's on the small side. Others will make fun and say it's very small and you'll never find a partner. That's just the way people are.
It's sad, but true. The net makes it worse because there is little fear of retribution. If you really inflame people, at worst you can be banned.
Other than banning there are no real consequences. That said, there are more overblown egos on this site than there are on Capitol Hill, or in Beverly Hills. Many of these egos are just false bravado too. I have noticed a few pictures here that were never picked out by others here that are from commercial sites. I don't get into the "fake busting", so I won't say who's. Also all the bragging lies told on here. I just add up all of what some of the biggest brags say by memory, or by reading their posting history. Most of it doesn't add up at all. It's easy to spot liars.
I also don't understand all this "bigger is better" crap in our modern society these days. People coming on here and saying "I'm only average at 7x6 or even 8x6. Where are we getting these distorted views? Is it from porn or just peer pressure? Is it another money making scheme by those selling "self improvement" products? Those who are insecure will no doubt buy a lot more stuff to make them look better. This has been done to women for years, and I guess they are starting with the men now. Whether it's stuff that will supposedly enlarge, to gym memberships, to muscle building products, and fancy clothes, etc. It's all about making people feel that they "have to do this" to be accepted in society. After thinking about this, it's no wonder I decided years ago that I preferred the company of mechanical things rather than people.
This world has become a sad, sad place. Greed is destroying us all.
I'm beginning to think that it will be a good thing when it does all collapse...
Why is it OK to ridicule me for a physical attribute but not you?
How can you discount my feelings so easily? Are you making even the slightest attempt to imagine what it must be like? I've heard more than a few of those insults directed at me. I've even been kicked out of bed for it.
Because that's the way it works for most people. It's always different when it's YOU and not THEM. I have dealt with this attitude for years, including from family. I am very sick of it too.
I feel for, and understand your situation jason, and everyone else here who feels insecure or has been made fun of or snubbed for physical attributes,
mental attributes, social or economic status, etc. It's not fair. Life is not fair. All people are not created equal. We don't all have the same opportunities, regardless of how many times we have been told this crap!
Just remember, those who are making fun, taking advantage of, and snubbing you, are doing it to make their own insecure ego bigger. Worse yet, to make money for their own gain. You who are being made fun, of are far better than those who would do these kind of things.
I do hope there is such a thing as karma, oh boy, do I ever hope so...
