Do men really normally have lots of opportunities to compare erections?

[WeekendNights]

I had a lot of experiences comparing when I was younger in a "not-strictly sexual" context (or however one wants to define that) and a lot of those early experiences really shaped my sexuality.

I'm bi, so I've seen plenty in a sexual context too.

The mystery the wondering, the guessing and the discovery is always such a thrill.

Transwoman here.
Sadly I have not had the opportunity to compare. Not like a competition, but just to admire each other. It would be impossible for me to follow it up with intercourse but hey, that just makes it more fun!
Anyway I would love to look at other's penises with mine, and rub them together and smile at each other.

Impossible? Um, is it verboten for me to ask why? I don't understand. As a transwoman, you still have the receptive equipment many use for intercourse. If this is a question I'm not allowed to ask, then don't answer, but I'm genuinely puzzled by your statement.

I’d never thought about this before reading this thread..

I don’t have a great memory, but have witnessed the occasional tenting of morning wood when traveling with friends, in my frat house and staying at hostels in my nomadic youth. I see countless friends and guys at the gym nude but never once have I seen an erection there that I recall.

in my experience, women don’t exactly get many opportunities to compare genitalia or breasts in a non-sexual situation. I’m not sure the majority of us would ever actually compete in any situation, however.

I've been around lots of naked women. Lots, and lots. It never occurred to me to compare my body to theirs, but maybe it does occur to some women. If it had come to mind, I would never risk making someone else uncomfortable by deliberately looking them over. But that's just me.

Later in life i had a jerk-off weekend with 3 other str8 buddies abroad. It was a fantastic 48 hours of jerking, glancing and during the whole event we also jerked off in a circle to see all our young throbbing and cum dripping cocks hehe...

We are not counting sexual encounters for the purposes of this thread.

Nowadays, i am still very much into comparing and search it directly by meeting guys just for this. Ok, admittedly we also jerk off haha... but comparing is key and why i meet them in the first place, the rest is a tribal necessity after the horny fun! Comparing is super hot for me - that's why i even escape my family life at times for this...

Some of my priceless moments... (out of the family album lol)

It is implied at the outset that joint or mutual masturbation may ensue; these are, therefore, sexual encounters, and beyond the scope of this thread. Nearly your entire post is off-topic, including the photos of events you already described as evolving I to the sexual encounters implied at the outset. Do not do this.

Third, as such, I can't believe "straight" (quotes to emphasize category) men would ever have the opportunity to compare their erect units in a "non-sexual" atmosphere, (nor the interest). For that matter, neither would gay guys.

This is exactly my thinking, but is in direct opposition to much of what gets posted on this site. Threads abound with men knowing how their erections compare to friend and foe alike.

Unless you can seriously imagine two or more guys, with boners, eruditely examining each other with medical dispassion simply because there was nothing better to do to pass the time...

I am aware that some men steal glances at other men's penises at urinals, and that many people in nude or naturist venues openly appraise other people's bodies. Erections happen. Sometimes they just do. I did not want to stand on my assumption that most of these posts in which the author just knows the sizes of everyone else's erections are bullshit, without examining it. I am not a man. I do not have men's experiences. So, I asked.

I probably worded that wrong. My saying women don’t really get those opportunities, I meant that it’s not something that comes up or that we think about if we are naked around each other. And I am in the same boat as you... would never ever want to make someone else feel uncomfortable.

After wondering if you'd never been swimming or to the gym, or grown up with open fitting rooms like I did, I figured you must have meant something along those lines. But I didn't want to assume or speak for you. So, I just offerred my experience. No worries!

And I am in the same boat as you... would never ever want to make someone else feel uncomfortable.

I like to think that's because we are not jerks. But I leave open the possibility that there are facets of manhood that I simply do not understand. I would be really annoyed and uncomfortable if I was peeing in a public toilet, and there was no stall between mine and the next, and I looked up to find other women staring at my vulva. Like... Back off, weirdos! Allow me some thread of dignity in this situation. But men apparently peek at each other all the time, and many of them seem to like being checked out. Still, so many dislike it. I do not pretend to understand why the comparisons go on when so many are clearly uncomfortable. I've even seen lots of posts online complaining about partitions, and making fun of those who prefer the stalls. Maybe some folks want private things private. I do not know about anyone else, but my mother taught me that anything usually covered by my underwear was private, and my exclusive domain.

For the purposes of this thread, if the goal/end result is masturbation or sexual contact (beyond holding close to compare, comparing how one feels in the hand versus the other) the experience is beyond the scope of the discussion, and off-topic.

The topic is, do you have many non-sexual opportunities to see other erections and conceivably compare them to yours. Do you see a lot of dudes hard in scenarios that do not involve masturbation, or sexual genital contact?

I am so sorry you had any kind of violation like that. Your report a feeling shame, whether or not that shame was related to the true, or the comparison, it's fairly common. I have read a lot of posts on several websites where men mostly feel ashamed about how their flaccid penis is compared to others.


Well, my primary interest was sparked by the many posts from those identifying as heterosexual who post stories about comparisons. I can't find any fucks to give about any flaccid dicks. And how someone compares to others when flaccid has no bearing on the same comparisons erect. Yet, just as you mentioned feeling shame in your flaccid experience, so many are so proud, or so ashamed of their flaccid comparisons against others. Moreover, there are often stories that sound like fiction to me about straight men knowing how they "measure up" against other men when erect. I'm testing my theory that most of those stories are pure fantasy.

However, I didn't want to be a source of silencing for our LGBT brethren, especially here. So, to truly keep it oranges to oranges, particularly if people ahare no details, I only want to count casual observations, and not sexual encounters, which most heterosexual men would not ordinarily have in the company of other men.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I apologize that I missed your question previously.

thank you...so this is really more of a research project of sorts that supports your theory that straight men would hardly ever see another erection in person..by definition if there were touching and masturbation then it's sexual and frankly gay....and if its straight people in orgys than that is also sexual....bottom line is that real straight men hardly if ever see another erection in person so therefore don't know much about or probably even think about size comparisons....

 

[AlteredEgo]

thank you...so this is really more of a research project of sorts

Yeah, kinda.

that supports your theory

It seems to have worked out that way, but I asked the question because I am not a man. I had a guess, and I tested it. The question is open ended. Per one's personal experience, yes or no?

bottom line is that real straight men

I'm not here to define real ken of any stripe. The fact is, a lot of the men on this site claim to have knowledge of the intimate details of other men's erections. Those who also discuss their sexual encounters with men may be believable, no matter what their sexual identity is. But there have been over the years that I have been here, many accounts from men telling stories that would require them to know the subject's measurements, without having had amy sexual contact with the man im question.

Sounds like bullshit. Comes up a lot though. So I wondered if I asked the question, if it would turn out to be bullshit, or if I would learn something new about men.

Feel free to let me know if this still requires elucidation.

50 years old and 32 years in the Army, I’ve been in lots community showers and latrines with no semblance of privacy. Guys sneak a peek because another pecker is exactly the thing you shouldn’t look at. I don’t care what it is, if you tell any one “DON’T LOOK AT THAT!!!”, they’ll sneak a peek. It’s human nature. It happens. Generally we don’t look, or care enough to bother.

Staring is a different story. That’s another good way to provoke a fight.

Sure there are voyeurs and exhibitionists, but it’s not the majority IMHO. Using this forum as a random sample of the “average” guy would also lead one to think “most” guys have 9 inch long, 7 inch thick peckers.

I am asking people from this website about a phenomena that once was common (see age of original post) on this website. I am well aware that things posted here cannot necessarily be extrapolated to the population at large. Moreover, we are not meant to be discussing flaccid sightings. Erections.

I repeat: Do you have many opportunities to see erections in non-sexual scenarios? I ask because a lot of older posts from before this thread were made, purporting to be true accounts of events, by men in which they would have had to know what another specific man's erectiin looked like, first hand, in order to draw the conclusions and comparisons made in those posts.

Do you have something to say regarding the topic?

Everything I’ve posted in this (old) thread is regarding the topic. My last post was a direct response to your paragraph on understanding (or not) “facets of manhood”, particulars of men’s bathrooms/showers and their partitioning, and what goes on in there. If that was off topic, I followed you there.

I might be a bit late to this one but seeing as how this post has been resurrected somewhat....

I'm not sure what situation other guys are in where they have all these opportunities, but I never ran into these scenarios myself. Aside from the occasional guy once in a blue moon attempting to sneak a sly peek at me around a urinal partition, no one sees my penis ever, aside from on this site. I go to a gym, but I come in and use the facilities and leave, opting not to use the showers, since I live a few minutes away from it.

I would think that these situations would be more commonplace in European countries where no one bats an eye at nudity, particularly at the beach and swimming pools.

 

[firsttimecaller]

I've been around lots of naked women. Lots, and lots. It never occurred to me to compare my body to theirs, but maybe it does occur to some women.

This is interesting.

Im always measuring up. Not in a naked setting, but guys play alotta sports with only a pair of loose shorts on.

- damn, he has some serious arms/quads/calves/abs/pecs

- damn, that dude can fly/jump

- damn, he has some major man-titties

- damn, he's veiny

- damn, that's a hairy mofo

Penis-wise, I'm above average and saw a guy get out of a pool who dwarfed me in a totally flaccid state. That was humbling

I dunno, it's dance of ego and insecurity

But even so, how many of them are going to have erections? It's not a commonplace kind of posting anymore, but back when I made this thread, you should have SEEN how many posts were made by men claiming to have firsthand knowledge of the sizes of all these other dude's erections, and how they compared to theor own. These claims were rampant, once upon a time. Like most troll trends I've watched over the years, it lost favor and died out. Still, anytime anyone wants to describe their experience seeing or not seeing lots of casual erections for comparison, I'm here to read about it.

I can't say I NEVER compare.

When I go to the gym for cardio, I usually look for someone who has a shape, or feature I aspire to, and park myself on a machine far away, but that allows me to see them. When I get tired, or slow, I look over for inspiration.

When I was younger, my bestie and I did compare the differences in our development. We still do. Now it is mostly comparing lab results. She always has way more white blood cells than I do. My cholesterol was better, then way worse, and now almost as good as hers. My astigmatism is CRAZY compared to hers. Stuff like that.

If I want to borrow or give away clothing, I do compare my body with the woman with whom I want to exchange clothes. I mean... I have to. I need to understand if the clothes will fit or not. Another bestie gives me her dresses as her weight fluctuates. I accept most of them, but I wear them as blouses or tunics. I originally wasn't going to take any of her dresses when she offerred them. My legs are almost 8" longer. My torso is much shorter and slimmer than hers, and my breasts are a lot fuller. But she looked me over and was sure they'd look good on me. She was right. Those are some of my favorite tops now. LOL

Generally, I am more likely to compare my body to my own body at different ages and weights than to someone else's, unless there is a reason. I can't swear my experience is typical, but that's my perspective.

It is interesting, therefore to read about what seems to be a very common desire to compare bodies, especially genitals, among men. Even the bullshit accounts of yore are interesting because of what they indicate about the storyteller. You know?
