Youngboi, as stated, you don't have to prove anything to anyone. You will get haters, and supporters, regardless of your actual size (and I believe you are what you say, BTW). The LPGS traditionally has been fairly quick to call people out if there is even a hint of BS, and do it agressively. Much of the time this is an advantage, because it tends to keep the trolls and idiots under control. Often, though, it is unduly harsh. You will get the put up or shut up line from people. I can tell you that the easiest way to get true support here is be completely honest with yourself and others, and to put out the verification early. It saves a lot of grief and trash talking on all sides, and lets the important information and issues be discussed. This is just my opinion, based on years of following this place. As far as buying condoms in retail establishments, every guy has been embarassed sometime. The only way to get over it is just to do it enough times that it becomes no big deal. It isn't illegal or immoral to buy condoms--in fact, it is absolutely responsible, so you should be proud to show you are being responsible by buying them. If the blue noses look down on you, or you feel you are being judged, I'd like to share with you my definition of a slut: A slut is someone who is getting laid regularly, called such by those who aren't. :biggrin1: If someone snickers at you buying Magnums, or makes a case--offer to show them right there---that will shut them up. Remember, adult stores often have higher prices, and lower quality standards. You don't want to risk buying low quality condoms, and cheap knockoffs DO exist. Be proud of who you are, not because you have a big dick, but because you are you, and part of what makes you you is having your endowment. It is your gift, you are allowed to appreciate it, just not be an ass about it. :wink: I hope you don't let the haters drive you off. You obviously have a lot you can gain here, as well as contribute, and I hope you do both. Good Luck!
