Everything about our bodies are inherited from those who come before us. It's all a combination of what came before us, and the way it combines within us is what makes us unique. If any scientist has ever questioned this, then I'd like to know who.

I'm not saying that every son will have a penis the same size as his father's. I think most people get what I'm saying.

Yes, this is a somewhat unusual topic, by the way. It seems rather unnecessary in some ways. It's pretty obvious that it would have to do with heredity, because everything else does.

Sorry, again I couldn't disagree more. At least we are on physical traits, so what you say has more validity than if we were talking about mental traits (if you think adult intelligence is the result of parental intelligence, then I'd just give up this discussion). Everything does not have to do with heredity. In one sense, we share a fast majority of identical genes not only with other animals, but with other humans. Necessary of course since we need a large number of proteins to function. So your argument basically has to do with the small number of genes that could possibly account for individual differences. These are often the genes that are most studied in gene-environment interaction studies (GxE), but they focus on mental traits and not physical traits. All I know is that in GxE studies, environment dominates. I think recognizing the genome's dependence on environmental cues, and the effects the environment itself has on phenotype, is more cautious than just saying "penis size is hereditary because everything else is" (which is blatantly not true).

So each individual who is born is a clean slate with no connection to the past?

Uh no, you couldn't be misunderstanding me more. This genetic predisposition that everyone has is both activated and controlled by environmental factors. Also, such predispositions are changed by environmental factors. I'm not even sure what to make of the expression "clean slate"...

I think there are genes for 'small' 'average' 'big' and 'large' penises, to put it simply, I think that's what Guinea was saying. And the more hung the guy, the more likely he is to have the 'big' or 'large' penis gene.

Also, although from my specialist language it my look like I'm a geneticist, I am not, not even a biologist or any -ist. Sorry to disappoint XD

But yeah...that's my explanation.

Well, I think you're seriously misunderstanding what I'm saying. For starters, I am aware of the influence of environmental factors and other factors. I suppose all I'm saying is that parents and our ancestors provide us with the basic genetic makeup of who we are, and then other conditions do undoubtedly play a part. I can't believe I'm arguing this point? I mean, if you are born to a parent who is retarded, then you have a big chance of being retarded. If you are born to a parent with big ears, there's a big chance you'll have big ears as well. If you are born to a father with a big penis, chances are you will have one as well. Then again, chances are you might not (because maybe another ancestor didn't have one).

You know what, I'm sorry, but this topic is actually a bit tedious.

Carry on with your discussion about it, though, my brothers. Seriously, I find it beautiful that you guys are talking about topics that are often "taboo." But I'm not terribly interested in getting in a debate over this particular topic. I've pretty much said everything I have to say about it anyway. :donut:

All I can prove is, that my Grandfather, his Sons, my Father and his three sons are/were all well equipped. However, the biggest dick in the family was my Uncle, my Mom&#39;s brother. He would have made a mule jealous. However, I seemed to have gotten the all the potatos without all the meat.

This is the funniest message I&#39;ve ever read&#33; This message sums up this forum. I am such an idiot for having thought this was a serious forum&#33;

All of my male relatives are huge and cum in torrents.

All of my female relatives have giant clits and super tight pussies that gush when they cum. Big tits too&#33;

Even our dog is hung. Biggest knot in the hood.

I can&#39;t tell about the goldfish.

How do you people find out how big your father's dick is, let alone your uncle?
"Hey dad."
"Yes son."
"How big is your crank?"
"Well, why don't we go inside and measure it so you can see for yourself."
"Ok. Umm, dad?"
"Yes son."
"You're cool for a dad."
"I know - thanks."

Or are you sneaking into the bedroom while he's banging mom? Or is this a conversation you have with mom and your aunts?

Now, with a nephew or cousin, I can see it, since 'boys will be boys', but I'm just not getting the other family members.

Feeling confused...

This topic gets repeated often. But, it is genetic. My grandfather (paternal), my father, my younger brother as well as myself. It is definettly handed down via the genes. Nudity was never an issue growing up. My grandfather and I got the BALLS.

Like all of our physical features, it is and it isn't herditary. To some degree, all of our physical features will bear a resemblance to our parents' features, and the odds are that we'll be simliar to them in certain ways. However, saying that we're likely to resemble our parents doesn't mean we actually will resemble them.

Early in the study of the field of statistics, an English mathematician measured the heights of a number of fathers and sons. He found that, on average, the sons of men who were taller (or shorter) than average also tended to be taller (or shorter) than average - but the sons tended to be not as tall (or as short) as their fathers, and in some cases the sons actually were shorter (or taller) than average. That led to the formulation of the statistical principle called regression to the mean, which states that if you measure a quantity in a group of some sort, as you make more measurements over time the average value of that quantity will tend to approach the average value for everyone as a whole. If we think about this in terms of penis size, a man with a large penis is more likely (but not guaranteed) to have a son with a large penis, but if we extend this chain through future generations, the odds are likely that his descendents will have smaller penes (and conversely, as one goes back to the man's ancestors, they likely had smaller penes, too).

Let's also remember that only half of our genes come from our fathers. To use the distaff side of this example, my wife's father was 6' 2" tall and her mother is 5' 9" tall, both of which are well above average height. It might not surprise you to know that my wife is 5' 11", also well above average. However, she shares almost none of her physical features with her mother; for example, my wife's breasts are huge while her mother is as flat as a board. Among her ancestors, it appears that the women with bigger breasts tend to be on her father's side of the family, so it looks like she got her big-boob gene from her father rather than her mother. Similiarly, the son of a man with a big penis might still have a average or a small one if the son got his penis-size gene from his mother's side of the family.

The short answer, I guess, is that while it's more likely that the ancestors or descendents of a man with a big penis will also have a big penis, there's no guarantee that it will be as big or even big at all.

My dad is 11 inches long. He told me he had been using a penis pump for 15 years. he pumps 5 days a week 4 hours at a time.He started out at 7 1/2 inches when he was 26 and has outgrown 4 pumps. I am 18 and almost 9 inches pumped. I just started my first pumping session 2 months ago and only seen a 3/4 inch gain. I am wanting to reach 12 inches.
