This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

For whoever needs to see this to help with insecurities:

Edit: also, I am surprised that it is not yet common knowledge that there is a lot of prosthetic use in porn. Look closely next time and you can see the prosthetic most of the time.

So I'm glad guys can see this information and I'm glad you put it out there. Most people don't care too much about size.

I might get ravaged for this but I'm going to throw it out there.

There absolutely is a racial (more accurately genetic) component to penis size. Yes it's true race is a social construct but to pretend genetics don't exist is a bit silly. Let's pretend it's only corollated with height. The average height for men in country A is 5'2". The average height for men in country B is 6'0". Again country does not equal race or ethnicity or anything but the two countries I picked are largely ethnically homogenous. Acting like such a large difference in height does not affect the size of individual parts of the body is silly.

Well, that’s because every single other body part has a bone in it. The penis does not have a bone, so growth would be more related to their endocrine systems, nutrition and individual genetics.

The height difference is not statistically relevant here

Noses and ears are practically boneless but they're bigger on taller people in general.

Noses and ears also have an underlying cartridge scaffold, something also not present in the pee pee structure.

Those structures also don’t become engorged with blood to increase their firmness and size.
