New here, and surprisingly moved by what Ive read

Yes, it's very true. Men don't talk about these things easily. My best friend and I sometimes talk about these things, but we always feel "just a bit" awkward about it, as though we "shouldn't" be talking about it. Frankly, I think it's a byproduct of homophobia, with the underlying (and erroneous) reasoning being that if you are interested in these things then you are in fact secrety gay, etc. But the truth of the matter is that every man, straight, gay, whatever, has a penis attached to his body, and that penis is important to that guy, so it's important for him to be able to talk about it.

It's an odd thing that people don't seem to understand, but in some odd ways men are actually more oppressed than women. Women can sit and talk about their breasts all day, openly comparing their breasts, talking about other women's breasts (I think even Oprah Winfrey had done this on her show), and no one will question their sexuality. But let a man talk about penis length, compare it openly, etc., and someone will question his sexuality.

It's kind of like as men we are expected to be isolated.

Oh, by the way, this is probably better than therapy -- because it's free! I went to therapy for a while, and I was charged from $35 to $50 an hour, and that was almost a decade ago (with a sliding-fee scale)! I can't imagine what it's up to now.

Thanks, bro,

Welcome to the LPSG as well. I stumbled across the forum looking for "custom underwear". But many, many of the topics hit home so hard that it is astonishing. Men do not talk to each other like women do so we have an outlet like this which I am greatful for. The perspective that this forum and so very many topics have done for me I cannot even begin to tell you. It is a step below seing a shrink. Having your feelings, thoughts and experinces validated here has been a god send and I am so greatful. In addition you do not have to always respond read and learn I have and learned a lot about myself and others. Again welcome. My signature says it all for me.

Thanks, bro. And it's true what you say -- actually, I've never had a complaint. The only complaints I've ever had have been from myself.

About Freud and Jung's theories, yes, they are only theories. Some of them are meaningful for me, some aren't. But I think a lot of times misinterpretation or misunderstanding has led people to discount what they said. I think in some cases a lot of people missed what he really meant.

Welcome Bro, I think you'll find this a really interesting site.

I know this is a big issue with you, and since I don't have the time I won't get into it, but you really shouldn't worry. You are perfectly fine at your size, and the more you worry about it the more complaints you will get. The less, the better you'll feel. Trust me, it's just that simple.

Oh yeah and as for Freuds theories, they are just that, 'Theories'.

Actually, male prostitues and porn stars make a very good pecuniary living.

Witty retort. I think you know what I mean though. And, by the way, a lot of them die from AIDS as well.

So do a lot of "regular" people.

Are you implying male prostitues and porn stars are not "regular people"?

HOW DARE YOU&#33;&#33;&#33;

We all know that a virus can be passed from person to person..this also seems to be true of the inability to correctly spell "prostitutes". Interesting.

LOL - Busted&#33; I was too lazy to retype it so I cut & pasted. It just goes to show you that if you&#39;re not careful, you really CAN catch something.
