Folks, around here-----do we even dare to ask this and hope to get a serious response?
Somehow, I just feel the need to give it a try.
I'm reminded from recent dialogues in several threads that among our members measuring at average or less, that there obviously remains much debate over penis size and whether size truly "makes the man". For many men, it seems they will never be convinced otherwise. --Exactly why is that? Granted, some of these insecurity issues originate from eary life. But indeed, has our modern day culture contributed even further to the inability for many of us to feel good about ourselves? Admittedly, it really is hard to"tune out" some of today's influences which so easily steer our thought processes--particularly on one's self esteem issues. It's equally hard to stay away from this forum. It "sustains" (?) many of us ;D from day to day.
--- (Isn't THAT a scary thought!)
We each have our own ideas, of course. Many (myself included) will try to convey here that there are other qualities about being a man much more important than merely "how we measure up". I sincerely believe this and yet---"size is important" in so many ways to us psychologically as men. It's really difficult around this forum to convey any notion except that "size DOES matter". Every thread and the various responses which follow all eventually seem to "play up the world of the large" in a very positive way. Isn't this true? Many of us larger men will inevitably come across if not directly, then almost indirectly as "bragging" or "boasting" (even though we may never have intended to). I would sure hate to become paranoid in my responses (i.e. of hurting someones' feelings).
How then, can we ever define what REALLY "makes a man" beyond penis size around here? What average size fella (or below average) will EVER feel better about himself given what we all keep reading about here from day to day? ??? Or, for that matter--what we keep seeing, hearing, and experiencing in the real world and not just here in the virtual?
Comments?
(be nice to hear from BOTH men and women on this one)
