So anyone who doesn't like the article from the BBC that I posted certainly has issues with his dimensions. Very revealing, wouldn't you agree Salil? :-D On a broader scale, why do you think people have so many issues with the length of their organs? I have had numerous Yahoo! chat conversations with guys who are ready to meet me only if the length of my penis exceeds a certain figure. Is the "size fetish" prevalent only among us gay men, or does it extend to the larger populace? I would imagine that a 12 inch penis would be difficult to "handle". Maybe some "true blooded connoisseur of penises" would deign to respond.
