[FONT="]Until about eight years ago my wife and I were practicing naturists (i.e., nudists) and I published a quarterly newsletter (peak circulation of about 2500 in 1986) focusing on naturism. Because of the newsletter I frequently received letters and phone calls from people with naturist related stories. In August 1982 I was contacted by a woman at a naturist resort in Michigan regarding alleged relationships between a eighteen year old young man and two or more older (i.e., 30+) women and unconfirmed allegations that this young man may have been sexually involved with as many as 15 other women at the resort. The following is excerpted from the article I eventually wrote regarding this matter:
"While the manager of the resort would state only that the resort is still investigating the allegations, he indicated there is substantial sentiment in the resorts nudist community for expelling the 18 year old and his family. Speaking of the 18 year old, the manager said 'there is a feeling among many of the guests that hes had a disruptive effect.' The manager declined to elaborate on the nature of any disruption, and conceded that the young man had not been charged with violating any of the rules of the resort. There is a distinct feeling among those sympathetic to the 18 year old, however, that the managers citing of a 'disruptive effect' was an oblique reference to the young man's unusually large genitals. A female nudist at the resort offered that 'this is a simple case of penis envy. They wont admit it, but a lot of the men at this resort are threatened by the size of his penis.'
I was at first very concerned that someone was pulling my leg on this story, so I asked my source, Janice, if she had a photo of this young man who she referred to as Ed. She said no, she didnt, but shed take one - she was very matter of fact about it. I asked how she knew Ed would consent to having his picture taken and she laughed and said why shouldnt he? So a week later I receive a slightly overexposed polaroid of two young men posing next to a pool. One is about six inches taller than the other, and the taller one has the most enormous penis Id ever seen, abnormally huge. Hes long-limbed, fairly large-boned frame, and sinewy; definitely slender but not skinny. His penis is circumcised and appears perfectly flaccid and it hangs more than halfway to his knees. It also appears incredibly wide. His hair looks long and stringy, like maybe he just got out of the pool. No particular body hair to speak of other than some pubic hair. The other is shorter, skinnier, unremarkable in every way. The overexposure made it difficult to make out facial features. I remember that I debated at the time whether or not to describe it as unusually large or abnormally large. I chose unusually because I thought it was less lubricious. Im no longer a practicing naturist but I was at the time, and naturists are always concerned about the perception that naturism is a sexual thing. So I was very ambivalent about the article in the first place and I really tried to play down the whole big penis angle. A urologist I consulted after receiving a polaroid of Ed confirmed that the degree of genital overdevelopment was in fact abnormal.
This picture was truly startling. I went so far as to try to scale the picture - you know, Ed is three inches high in the picture, his penis is 3/8 of an inch, Janice tells me hes slightly over six feet tall, etc. I remember distinctly that they indicated this young man had a nine inch flaccid penis. Janice had already offered her opinion that the men at the resort were intimidated by this young mans size and I remember being very skeptical of that theory. I mean, differences in penis size is something thats not new to naturists - I think flaccid penis size varies more than erect penis size. And while I wouldnt claim that naturists dont note the differences, I can honestly say that your bona fide naturist doesnt dwell on it (notwithstanding that Ive now devoted two full paragraphs to this young mans size). But I must admit thinking that yeah, I might be intimidated by something that outrageously huge. I showed the polaroid to my wife. Her reaction appeared to me more one of stunned amazement rather than sexual arousal. Her remark upon seeing the picture was something to the effect of "my god, it's freakish."
Janice was motivated by what she perceived as blatant physiognomic discrimination on the part of the resort and the naturist community at the resort. I too found this an interesting journalistic angle and arranged for my wife and I to visit the resort. We decided that we would attempt to meet Ed and his family before making the journalistic nature of our visit known to the resort management. We met Janice immediately upon arriving at the resort and she arranged to take me to the pool area where Ed would generally be during the afternoon. My wife stayed behind at our room. We arrived at the pool and I recognized Ed from his photo. He was in the water with a friend but he immediately acknowledged Janice and climbed out of the pool. The polaroid had not prepared me for the sight of this ungodly organ in the flesh. Ed was literally hung like a horse, his flaccid penis possessing a length, girth and meatiness far beyond any penis I'd ever seen (and I'd been a practicing naturist for a decade at that point and visited more than 30 naturist resorts). In the way that all males are practiced at, I gauged the dimensions of this organ and then attempted to avoid staring. Janice, with whom Ed was plainly very friendly, invited him to a picnic she was planning for the next day. He readily accepted the invitation, so eagerly that I suspected that he'd been sexually involved with Janice (a suspicion Janice initially denied but ultimately confirmed). The plan was that my wife and I would stumble upon this picnic and would then have an opportunity to interview Ed. As we were leaving the pool area I noticed a pronounced imbalance in the male-female ratio at the pool - there was one other male besides myself and at least ten females ranging from ages 18 to 60. This struck me as unusual and I wondered whether it was attributable to the presence at the pool of this super-penis. [/FONT]
