Sadly, many people do. Porn magazines and video companies love to exaggerate over how big some men are because they know if you say a guy has a double digit dick they're gonna get more sales. And there's no way anyone can really tell or get a proper measurement from a magazine photo or even a freeze frame on a video. We can only tell that they have a big dick in some shape or form so we just go with the info.
This reminds me of a friend I had when I was growing up. I think he knew I was gay and although he's married now he was definitely curious and wanted to experiment. He kept bragging to me that he has an 11.5" dick and that he measured it for proof. I ignored it and brushed it off for many, MANY weeks... but one day called him out on it. One thing lead to another, and he whipped it out. Obviously it wasn't anywhere close to being 11 inches, but still nice. I'm sure he felt a bit embarrassed when I told him that he used the centimeter side and not the inch side of the ruler. But he was standing there looking hot with a hard on, and he gave me a stare that basically said in a nervous yet begging way, "Please?"
So I did. Because that's what friends are for, right? :biggrin:
