If I try that outside of peak summer, the ambient temperature has my penis pointing between the toilet seat and bowl and creates a huge mess unless I dedicate a hand to pointing it down
I suppose you would have to dedicate a hand while standing as well no?
you can kinda lean against the wall behind the toilet and not have to hold it, i guess depending on your dangle
The comments stating it's happening to other people gives me so much closure ngl lmao.
This is probably borderline tmi but I wield a penis which is of the show-er variety, as opposed to the grower variety, and I have encountered this situation myself.
I am neither a shower nor a grower, I am personally just comically small. IDC about TMI, I'm all for normalization of casual penis talk.
That debate grifter meme with the table and a sign but it says “talk to me about my penis, it’s normal. Change my mind”
No, no, please, talk to me about your penis. I'm all ears. 😇
I’m good, but I applaud your dedication to penis debate.
I'm not going to tell you how to feel but I'd be careful with how you talk about your penis because it can have some pretty big implications for other people who are smaller.
I'm not presuming that your comment hasn't come from a place of personal acceptance (sorry for the tortured double negative there) but there's a thing that I try to be sensitive about and...
[CW: mild discussion of suicide ahead]
...to make an analogy here, I've dealt with chronic suicidality since I was a kid. Unless I'm having a mental breakdown, there's no suicide joke you could tell me that I wouldn't laugh about. Part of that is a coping strategy and part of that comes from a place of acceptance. But I keep that aspect of my humour under wraps because I wouldn't want to minimise or trivialise someone else's experience of suicidality or to cause additional suffering to people who have lost someone to suicide; just because I'm totally cool with it doesn't mean that this is the case for others.
I'm not trying to grill you over this or anything but I'm just thinking about other guys who might be seriously concerned about their size seeing the phrase "comically small" and having it hit them like a ton of bricks and compounding their anguish.
This isn't intended as a low-key flex but rather I'm speaking as a person who is attracted to men - I think that penis size is overrated and way overemphasised. I once had a relationship fall apart due to the guy I was seeing at the time having size issues. If spare you the details but it made intimacy into a chore and they couldn't connect with me or understand what I saw in the relationship. They felt like life had shorted them (pun intended) but they weren't able to make room for my experience of things, not even in a 'two things can be true at the same time' kinda way, and this doomed the relationship. I think about this person from time to time and the amount of suffering they experienced due to societal values and discourse about penis size. It's pretty heartbreaking tbh, and I'm absolutely certain that he isn't alone in this experience.
I guess what I'm driving at is that it's worth keeping the other small dick kings in mind when you talk about your own size because I don't want them to think of themselves as being mere comedy props and I'm sure that you don't either.
