Let me first of all say that I have enjoyed this site for several years and believe there is a lot of value in it. It has provided a safe and free space to discuss sexuality, gender, eroticism, pornography, sexual education and much more. Long before these subject matters became acceptable or even mainstream.

I especially appreciate how it is structured to promote the exchange of opinions across groups which generally struggle to communicate - I am thinking of the intra-generational conversation, for example; or the incommunicability across the sexuality spectrum,

However I question whether "Large Penis Support Group" is still current as a name. Whilst I am sure it still offers the support it says it provides; do we really think that the "large penis" agenda is still worthy to be the center piece of this endeavour ?

Isn't it rather discriminatory when it comes, for example, to gender or ethnicity ? And doesn't it risk to perpetuate a patriarchal society with, at its centre, the frankly rather undeserving "alpha male" ?

Finally, talking about sexuality - as much as I myself have a big penis, am attracted to big penises and do believe that a big penis can give pleasure; shouldn't we recognise that very often in society, in porn, in many of LPSG forum postings, a focus on the big penis is more often than not associated to immaturity, low self-esteem, lack of respect, need to control. Or even potentially correlated to violence or sadism ?

nah, i say don't change a thing. it's like asking McDonald's to change their name. LPSG is what makes this place "LPSG". changing the brand name would hurt it more than not.

i don't think a focus on penis size means anything more than that. correlating penis size to immaturity, low self-esteem, lack of respect, need to control, and/or violence is just one person's personal perspective on the idea being projected out onto others.

a big dick is a big dick. it's there, it's big, and that's it. everything else that you make of it from that point on is based on your own anecdotal personal experience alone.

Think of it like KFC... Used to be Kentucky Fried Chicken...
To further explain the satire of the name... Do large men with large penises REALLY need a support group..? I think they get all the support they need. :p

Every now and again some wit wants to change the status quo

It used to be called Large Penis Support Group and was as @Scarletbegonia said, satirical, but the name was changed to LPSG because of the number of women that used the site and then started complaining about the name so the previous owner changed to the initials LPSG. It was also previously known as LPSG.org
Frankly I was against the change, I like the name Large Penis Support Group - there's no ambiguity Little Penis Support Group.

And as I said the last time I commented on this subject, a while back, if you don't like the name, or the site anymore, you know where the door is. If the site served no point anymore, why oh why do guys keep joining LARGE PENIS SUPPORT GROUP in droves?

You say it's discriminatory, but how many people use the expressions BBC, BWC. At least we are not plagued by racism and homophobia like bitchbook and twitter.

Too tired to be bothered anymore, the name is just time, as is the site and most of the members

Thank you all for offering my post some consideration.

I would agree, re-branding should be avoided wherever possible - however it is the necessary evil when the values commonly associated with a brand are no longer current or even acceptable.

The point I am proposing here is whether, in a society which is experimenting rapid and radical changes (think of Me Too or Black Lives Matter), the more or less implicit upholding of the "large penis" agenda is still acceptable.

Society is finally starting to take some steps to go beyond gender or racial prejudices - the idea being to look past that sort of conditioning and focus on the intrinsic qualities and values of the individual.

I just question whether it would be more in keeping with this trend to do our bit and contribute reducing the focus on the "large penis" agenda.

After all it is a physical characteristic which is simply inherited - it is not earned or deserved; and, due to its prevalence in porn, it is having an increasing impact on how sexuality is evolving.

We could call it APSG that would be "all penis support group", but that would be discriminatory against trans men.

We could call it All Male Support Group but that would make non binary people uncomfortable.


We could call it Human Support Group but that would make folx that identify as cats uncomfortable, and we want to be open minded right?
Wait what about asexuals? Surely we do not want them to be left out! Lets change the direction of this website to make EVERYONE feel welcome.

You know it started as satire, right?
Well, yes - one can guess the irony. However, looking at the general direction of the broad conversation on here (but mostly in porn) - it feels like the irony has been lost and, all at the opposite, a lot is about the large penis and the alpha male ?
