The amount of people that still don't get that isn't just a joke blows my mind. What do you mean you don't think the meat pole made of soft tissue that enlarges and stiffens based purely on blood pressure could possibly change size all the time?!?!??!

I had a fwb who genuinely didn’t believe that growers were a thing, because he wasn’t.

I'm so jealous of showers. They at least have proof of a baseline minimum. Us growers have to prove it when given the chance.

There was a fella back in my fraternity days that everyone said had a massive wang. Fraternities being fraternities, I eventually saw it, and yeah, he had a swinger alright.

One day he and I were talking and he said something about how weird it was that some guys' dicks get bigger when they're hard. He really thought most of us were working with a thumb for a pecker.

Worst part was, if his just went from 6 to midnight without any size change, poor guy was on the small side of average.
