AMEN.
This site would have saved my sanity if I had had something like it when I was 14-15. I was SO worried about sex in general, and to a fairly large extent penis size in particular.
I remember going to the library to medical dictionaries and such in a futile attempt to get a more realistic idea of what "normal" penis size was, how women/girls felt about it, etc.
I suppose it would also have helped just to see the wide range of penis sizes that you can now see online. Back in the 70s, you couldn't possibly have access to this visual information until you were 18, and then it was ridiculously expensive to see a wide range. Porn tended to show only the very large, so that would make your self-image even worse. Today you can find many average-sized penis images and some very small.
But more importantly, a forum like this where you can talk about different implications surrounding size brings it all into a more realistic perspective than what an insecure 14-year-old's imagination would run with. I think the potential for this and other forums like this to give young people a way of working out their concerns is tremendously healthy. And that means interacting with both their own age and those with a lot more experience who can offer advice anonymously, without worrying about incurring legal problems that would more likely be a risk if in-person contact (as opposed to online) were made.
