...I have a father who is small. Like really small. I would say his penis was a like a belly button on his balls, like that small. I've even had the misfortune of seeing him erect once sadly (just woke up running to the toilet in his briefs, yup sadly embarresing). I would say he's barely 4 inches probably erect (maybe less) if I had to think about it.

This always bothered me because I look like my father, I've inherited about 80-85% of his genes but I have a completely different dick size to him. Like REALLY different...

Having had the misfortune this week of running across a series of pictures of my dad naked from 30 years ago (there is not enough brain bleach in the world to scrub my memory clean), I can say it is a miracle that I have the schlong that I have. Heand I could not be more unlike each other (and I am kinda glad about that).

As terrible as that situation sounds, I'm basically the same way. I'm very glad mine came from somewhere else!

I am my father's son.

my mom accidentally walked in on me after showering when I was about 15. a few minutes later I heard her quietly tell my dad, "he's big like you."

I'm 55 years old today, but it was when I was 14 years old when I got teased for having a "man dick" or being called "donkey dick" by other boys that saw me in the showers after PE class. It was then when I knew I was different than the other boys in the penis department, as I was rather tall and lanky and shy but I began to believe that I was like a freak or something was abnormal with my penis.

When I was in the 11th grade being about 16 years old, my dad walked into my bedroom by accident after I had just masturbated, he saw my still hard-on dick and he candidly told me then that I was much bigger than he was as a man... He assured me that I wasn't a freak... During this discussion he volunteered his penis measurement to me that he was a bit over 9 inches erect, but at that time I was a already 9.5 inches long and that he told me that I would probably grow bigger than him as a grown man, which I did see happen for me to end up to my current dick size.

Much later when I was 27 years old, back in 1985 my Grandfather on my mom's side saw me shower after we had been swimming that same day, my soft dick was long and floppy as usual but when he removed his towel to get dressed, I noticed his long flaccid dick too which was very similar to mine... We ended up openly discussing our gene connections and he told me that he had a long one like his father had too. He told me that he was 10 inches long when he was hard - I was kinda surprised that he confessed this to me at his 86 years age. He also said his brother my Great Uncle had a huge one too, and that his Grandfather had a large penis- who had been born during the slavery era. I confessed to him that I was a little over 10 inches long when I was real hard, and that I had problems fucking some women in my life then because of my extra large size... even still to today... and he understood my issue because it was problematic for him all his life as well. I would have never found out this information without a frank discussion with my father and Grandfather concering this topic.

I do happen to be 6-feet 3-inches tall - I'm the tallest male on my mom's and dad's side of my family, many who are 6 feet tall on average. So I believe in some instances there is a possible genetic connection to penis size and height, at least in my case.

Is it genetic? I've no idea and no one really knows. (Given all men are more than a little interested in their dicks you'd think someone would investigate.)

Anyhow, my father (whom I only saw soft, after he took me swimming as a boy) was fairly average, I think.

But according to a whisper I heard from my Aunt my mothers father (my maternal grandfather) was very large. So maybe I get the big cock gene from him? Who knows?

On another issue, I've read that ones propensity to baldness comes from ones mother's father. He had a good head of hair until he died (aged 86 in 1993). So far, so have I.

Co-incidence?

I have read that one thing that helps create a large penis is the amount of testosterone that the fetus and embryo are exposed to. In saying that it would seem that there is not exactly a large penis gene. What I would not though is that while hormone levels tend to vary in individuals ratios do not. An example of hormone ratio would be the amount of free or serum level testosterone in the blood versus bound. Environmental factors can effect hormone levels to some degree. I digress here. So it is possible that some women will have higher serum level testosterone than others. It is also true that some males will have higher levels and can be predicated somewhat by physical features (square jaw line, wide shoulders, finger length ratios) that are related to testosterone in higher levels. The point I am making is that our genetics determine all of these things. So while there may not be a large penis gene, there are genes that determine what our hormone levels will be.

My mom saw me accidentally after a shower. She said that I didn't get that well-hung from my father, that it came from her side of the family, where the men had large ones.

As others have said, there's no physical attribute to your presence that is not genetic. Of course, it is possible to have a first generation mutation, but very unlikely as significant as a penis.

Penis size comes from both parents, the length and girth of a vagina is the same genes that determine the length and girth of a penis. It can come from either side. My dad was long and thin I am long and thick. I get the thickness from my mothers side.

Possibly. I'm pretty sure my dad's is bigger than mine, never actually saw it but I'm almost certain. Not sure about the males on my moms side.

If nature made it so penis length was as long as the myths say "middle finger to palm blah blah" etc. I'd have a big one. Lol... :(

I think it's like everything else, partially due to genetics, and partially due to environmental factors. From what I understand, penis size is determined more by development in utero before birth....whereas height and weight are determined more by diet and environment after birth (with genetics still being a factor at all times of course). It makes sense because height and penis size are not perfectly correlated. For instance, exposure to certain nutrients and hormones in utero might stimulate development of genitalia while toxins and chemicals (like phthalates) can inhibit development.

Depends. Could be genetic, but not hereditary just in terms of how it assembles in the womb/egg.

Kind of like how in some families, one sibling is tall and the others are short. All obviously have the same parents, but it's just how it is. All people form individually hahaa..
