    Good meme, but we really ought to end small-penis hatred.

          I don’t understand nudity options in games. You got average and above average. Few people gonna go with average then.

        My most satisfying sexual experience was with a small dude

        I begged him for a second date. I think he was self-conscious about it. Dude was marriage material

        I hate a lot of things.
        Guess i should start body shaming because of that?

        No. Only insecure losers bodyshame.

          It’s like with the “do you punch a Nazi?”, even pacifists have limits.

          Then again, I think for me it’s ok to hit people where it hurts when you want to hurt them— and penis size is the “alpha males” easy and effective target just like crowd size is a certain assholes weakness.

            Not even remotely comparable. When you punch a Nazi you are only hurting a Nazi.
            When you body shame you hurt every single person who has that characteristic.

            If everyone started shitting on characteristics you possess you probably wouldn’t like it either.
            Have some fucking empathy.

              Drag doesn’t know a single person who buys into that penis size stuff and isn’t a conservative. In fact, most of drag’s friends have a penis and want to get rid of it.

              Ok, except what if only the target is within earshot and it’s used exclusively to make that person feel like shit? And would this be true of any other insult that could potentially apply to someone else, like being bad at something? Although I guess if harm is the goal, empathy isn’t exactly a priority.

              I’ll concede you’re right about collateral damage, though. Friends of mine know I don’t actually believe the insult in most cases (especially penis size, what am I, 12?), but I use more tact if I’m worried it would upset present company or being up bad memories, etc (more commonly fat shaming). I also don’t insult people like I used to, though.

              But, I don’t really hold anything sacred and I’m not about to hold back a good insult for a hypothetical person.

      this (the study) is about the crystal balls, not the magic wand.

        It’s the compatibility with a partner imo, the match is everything - the technical details are mostly irrelevant once events take place

    In primates small testicle size is correlated with how many males a female typically mates with. More males mating with the same female means the male that produces the most sperm has an advantage. So gorillas have tiny balls because every troop only has one silverback male, and chimps have horrifically huge nuts because there’s a lot of competition for mates from other males in the troop.

    Interestingly, humans fall roughly in the middle of the scale in terms of ball size!

    Pretty sure there was a study that actually showed big trucks correlated with big penises. Crazy.
