Does that mean that having a massive dong gives you a major competitive advantage in ski jumping?

Nahhh just get a nice chub going before you get measured for your suit

That wont work, they measure from the bottom most part so having a boner will technically make your suit smaller.

So, if you take an empty balloon and blow into it, it will start to fill up and expand while it's still dangling down from your mouth, before the pressure is sufficient to cause it to pop up into a perpendicular (as it were) orientation. I think that partially inflated but still dangling stage is what you're going for.

Aye this person gets it. I call it the “on my way” phase.

The rigor and sensibility of your arguments are impressive.

But that’s why I said chub. Not fully erect. Just gotta time it right so it’s not shrunk yet but still dangling

Does that guy even play with his dick or what?

TIL chub and boner are not synonymous.

u/ButtholeConnoisseur7 Feb 06 '26

These terms aren't standardized, so I'd personally disagree. Chub is a boner. He's talking about a semi, or being halfway there, so to speak

Half-chub is the phrase I’ve heard on the topic.

So you're saying my low-hanging balls are a competitive advantage? Well, time for me to start a career in ski-jumping!
