Does size run in the family?

[deleted111]

I am adopted so I would have no idea what my actual biological parents and/or any other kids they had would have for size.

My adopted father is very average size from what I can tell.

Will_4567: I have a brother who is 5 years older than me and we shared a room til he went to college. I've seen his both hard and soft and it is much smaller than mine well below average. I've never seen my dad hard but I have seen it soft when we go to the Y to work out. His is about the same size as my older brothers when he is soft so I guess they are about the same hard too. My brother is built like my dad and looks like him. I look like my mom so maybe my size comes from her side of the family. I think I was bigger than both my dad and older brother by the end of 7th grade. It really bums my brother out

Obviously I must come from a very sheltered family. I certainly did NOT know my dad's erect dimensions nor any of my relatives! I can't think of anything more offputting than seeing them hard. However, a friend of mine had an absolute monster at school and I saw his erection. I also know that his brother was equally large. I also know that my young nephew is well hung and, as my sister tells me, 'it definately does not come from her husband'.

privateidaho03: My little brother and I (age 20 and 23) are the same height, 6'3", but have totally different builds... he's 230-40 lbs. with not much fat on him (football/basketball player), and I think he wears size 14 shoes... I'm about 180 (used to be 150 before I started working out&#33 and wear size 10.5. And his hands are huge and thick... mine look tiny by comparison.

Anyway, I've never seen his dick and we've never talked about our sizes. But he was always wearing basketball shorts around the house with no underwear, and he'd have this obvious bulge going about a third of the way down his leg. We used to wrestle all the time growing up, but I stopped about the time he started high school and I couldn't kick his ass any more. But last year somehow he convinced me to have a quick round... when he pinned me (after like 5 seconds&#33 I felt what I thought was a huge erection in his pants, but then I realized it was mostly soft. If I had to guess, it probably gets at least 8-9" hard, maybe more, versus my 5.5". (I do know he's *very* popular with the ladies.) If he found out he was that much bigger than me, he'd have a field day... I've always been the smartest one, so he loves to best me however he can. The little shit. ;-)

OMG.. that has to be a record... Have you measured them or seen them measure themselves? That's almost an extinct breed I thought. Must be something in the water where you live Darren.

The cousins live in PA, so it's not the water. Gotta be in my mother's father's genes. And, yes, I have seen them measure. They really love being massive and showing off, but they also want to have 'normal' lives, not wind up like Johnny Wad.

I doubt many guys here would like to be like Johnny Wad. I know I could never do porn.

I showered with both my father and older brother (by 3 years) till I went away to college at 17. There was always a sort of joking about the size of our dicks. I was the youngest of the three and in a warm shower I hung flaccid very much longer than my father and at least 2 inches more than my older brother. I was short (5&#39;7"ish) and fat as a kid, my brother grew early on to a tall (6&#39 as did most of my cousins. However my father used to joke that my thick build ran all the way through me and that it was that that kept me shorter than all the rest. MUCH to my older brothers chagrin, he never let me live it down and for a time I was actually ashamed of my size. Then I went to college in Boston and played football and wrestled and saw the light.

Sort of think it is ironic though that the largest unit out of 24 cousins and uncles is the one that is openly gay. Brother still jibes now and then about it going to waste . . . <wink>

P.S> I grew up in SMALL town PA where my uncles owned farms, orchards, fields, and cattle. Yes I saw all of my uncles, cousins, and farm hands du jour nude throughout adolescence, but never a single one erect other than my older brother. (I still won . . . again)

I meant in his case it was matrilateral because the hung cousins were on the mother&#39;s side of the family, as he said. The other possibility is if they&#39;re double cousins.

dfffd61: I think there has to be some truth to size being genetic.

I&#39;m 20 and 9x6 hard 5 inches soft
My brother is 21 and 9.5x6 and 6 inches soft

 

[Bluespeedoz]

All I know is that me and my twin brother are identical in every way including the size of our dicks and balls. We have two older brothers who are also twins and they are ientical too, again to the size of their dicks and balls. Like our dad we are all well hung and hairy but whether this is coincidence or genetic or a little of both I don&#39;t know. What I do know is that we also have very similar personalities, likes and dislikes, and so on.

Size definitely runs in my family as me and my three brothers and my dad are long n thick. Dad didn&#39;t have us cut either so we have a similar size foreskin too. My dad is bisexual and so am I and two of my three brothers. My third brother thinks he is straight but I know he ****** his body builder neighbor last month because I ****** the same guy too.

 

[13788]

the sac: I would say it does when i was little i used to see my dads penis alot because he used to have a habit of walking around the house in a wide open blue robe, and although i never saw it erect it was a real shower and thick too. And if i remember right i am longer than he was now when flaccid but not as thick but being 19 i dont think i am done growing i got one last growth spurt in me yet.

I had read somewhere that the geneticists theorise that traits such as penis size are passed down through the *mother* and not the father.

Um, no. Genetics isn&#39;t unilineal. However, it could be on the X chromosome. That being said, there are some XX males and some XY females. And then there are the crazy cases: A boy with Klinefelter&#39;s (XXY) will grow up with a smaller penis and generally be more effeminate-looking. (Girls might only have one X, called Turner syndrome; they&#39;re typically stuck in a prepubescent stage without proper hormone therapy.) XYY doens&#39;t cause a larger penis, though. Then there are all the strange types; it&#39;s even possible to have started out as dizygotic twins but merge in the morula stage.

Just stating what I had read, can&#39;t remember where, if I can find it I&#39;ll be sure to post it

I have seen my dad a lot. His dick is about 2/3 the size of mine soft. Never seen him hard. I don&#39;t think I got my size from him.

I have some cousins on both sides and they do not have a dick the size of mine and there is jealousy.

I&#39;m 9 to 9.5 hard.
