To post or not to post ... that is the question.
I have been on TN for many years, actually a few longer than my listed number but that's not the real question here. The real question is do you really need to have a discussion group about member's equipment 'down there'? I mean, really, we all came with whatever our DNA coded us to have and that's about it. I won't go into any further details as it would be of 'Zero" use. I did think it over for some time before adding my profile to the group and did so as an acknowledgement of my size and that it was just that ... my size. The idea of average is just throwing everyone in a big bowl and equally dispersing the total amongst all ... and that's not how it works. We all come with our own set of 'accessories' and that is what makes us a unique individual; it's just part of the deal. No need in fussing or whatever, it is just us. As an adder, I will note that an abdominal area operation did appear to affect my member along with multiple lower back injuries and we might as well add in age. Yep, it did get a little shorter. In the end, we do what we can with what we have. So, as an acknowledgement, I am a little smaller than average down there but everything has returned to reasonable working order. And ... I am forever more grateful!! May everyone else be in the exact same boat.
Personally I find the group helpful. As the above poster puts it I have been blessed though DNA a smaller appendage, this has resulted in some insecurity in my life triggered by a doctor doing a medical examination of me for my first job some 50 years ago when he stated it should be bigger than that by now For many years I would ensure no one saw me in changing rooms and even when I visited my first nude beach I ensured I had a towel with me at all times to ensure no one saw me. Its only through groups like this that I have found the courage to show myself publicly safe in the knowledge that I am not alone.
I agree. I didn't realize how much smaller I was than the average fellow for many years, and then I was informed, not so subtly, by a dissatisfied wife. I grew up being naked and free, and hearing that I was inadequate was really a hard pill to swallow.
When I began to engage in more public nudist outings especially in mixed company I was therefore sensitive to my shortcomings. And I also began to take notice of others and realize that indeed I was much smaller than other men. But over the years I have come to realize that while, yes, I am smaller than 95% of the other guys out there, and I have even been laughed at several times, I am pretty cool with how I am built for the most part. Even if I really do wish I was bigger - but there's nothing I can do about that of course!
I have found that open discussion about that fact helps me put things in perspective. And honestly- having frank opinions from others either way - is helpful. whether it comes from the ladies, guys are like me, or guys who are more amply built. It's all part of the diaspora of nudism and to be celebrated and not ashamed of, in my opinion .
Thank you! Honestly, I'm not sure what else to do. We're built the way we are and just have to accept it.
Speaking of the diaspora of nudism, it's interesting that you consider yourself small. I think you are probably twice my size or more but there's no sense, I suppose, in putting too fine a point on it. I guess there's a range of sizes from Tiny to extra large just like there are so many different personalities. I am glad that I have a place to discuss such things as even though I've come to accept them, my tiny manhood has at times been a significant factor in my personal development.
Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. I guess that is one difference between us. While I have enjoyed some aspects of being small, if I had to choose I would definitely be at least average if not well above. But clearly I am well on the other side of that and just have to deal with it.
