Reading these posts brought back some memories. It was odd, but I guess I first learned there was something different about mine when I was in 4th grade, 9 y.o. I had not experienced puberty and none of the boys I went to school with had either. We'd moved to a new town and I was trying to find a "fit" someplace with the other guys. I was lucky to be athletic and could catch a football and was really fast. That kind of got me in with the "kewl" guys. After a few weeks I got invited to the ritual of peeing before going back to class. I'd noticed the guys would go to the other side of the school as I walked into the classroom. They'd use the bathroom on the other side. As they'd all line-up to pee there was laughing, showing off, etc. As I stood to take my turn I was mortified as this was different than anything I'd been taught. I pulled mine out and got full attention as nobody had seen mine yet. Almost immediately one of the guys asked "why is yours so long"? I didn't know, so others took a very close look at it. There were many comments that day and about every day after that. I'd seen my brothers but this was the first I'd seen someone elses. I got really self consious of it because of this. As I barely hit puberty at 12 I was taught about masturbation and sex by my brothers best friend. He was a couple years older. I remember the moment perfect... as he got mine hard he said "you're huge like your brother". This shocked me for a couple reasons, one being that he'd seen my brothers. The full impact of my size probably hit me most when I was 14. I played basketball and wrestled. This gave me a lot of time in locker rooms. I continued to be very self consious of mine until probably about high school and even then I HATED the teasing. I'm o.k. with it now.
