If this is so, why don't all men have enlarged glans?

Some men have big hard mushroom heads, others have regular heads that arn't as hard as the shaft and don't over hang it either?

Interesting idea though.

Men have enlarged glans so they don't smack themselves in the forehead while masterbating.
