      Yeah if he is correct I wouldn’t want to shout that out myself but congrats on him for bringing awareness to an issue that I’m sure many men’s lives have been worse for. Not like we can control the size of any body part but it would make for difficult relationships. Yes I know size isn’t everything but that’s a bit different category of issue is all.

        I think the full phrase is “size isn’t everything, its how you use it” but bro has nothing to use. As disabilities go, its one of the easier ones to have - able bodied and normal-looking with all five senses. It sucks that he misses out on sexual relationships, but so do loads of people with much worse conditions.

          I’m not sure he misses out on sexual relationships at all though. Strap ons are a thing, and can be very effective (ask a lesbian, or a trans man!) and there are LOTS of ways to have sex that don’t involve the traditional act people tend to reduce it down to.

          Also, disabled people also have sex. The idea that they don’t is ableist AF.

            Of course many do, but many also don’t/can’t - I can declare that as an objective fact. Ableism indeed.

          Also when you get older sometimes even as a guy you may not be able to perform, it happens. So as long as you have an understanding partner you can get around those times. Mean I’m unsure on actual performance issues but really penis in vagina, while most common (I think?) is only a bit of what couples can do for fun in that area. Hell I think there’s so much more besides that but not for this topic.

            Yeah the jokes are universal too, there’s no getting away from it. Feminism has stood up against body shaming (with limited success) but even amongst many feminists there’s still small dick jokes
