[quote author=Donk link=board=meetgreet;num=1038495269;start=30#41 date=01/29/03 at 05:47:04] "... But I have had a few incidents where boys...have come into a public restroom when I was using the urinal and just stood gaping at my endowment. ...So some young boys at least have some awareness (though they probably don't connect it with sexual things).

--and----

I don't mind stares from adults, but this kind of attention from kids disturbs me. Plus I am concerned that it might affect them psychologically if they grow up comparing their own development to this glimpse of mine. So if there are young boys already in the restroom when I enter or if it is a place with lots of kids where one could easily walk in, I will take efforts to keep my privates hidden or use a stall.

Donk: I commend you for this "wisdom call"; thoughtful discretion, and overall good judgment, ---IMHO.

It just seems prudent to not introduce the issue of "size" so early-on in life for these young guys...(they'll be dealing with it soon enough, inevitably.)

I can't recall "when" in early life that I encountered my first sighting of a big one. It must have been at a very young age though, because I desired a huge size for my "growing goal" throughout my early life. And, obviously, too, I must have witnessed a "huge one" on a TALL man because, as I became tall (eventually to 6'4") I have carried the premise that I had to be hung about 10" to 12" FLACCID (!) to look "balanced" or--proportionate to my stature. To this day, I still have certain days (just read my other posts!) when I think of myself as "under-endowed" ...when in reality (at 7+ inches, flaccid), I know I'm really not.

I just believe this distorted view of size for me---began very, very early in life...for just about as long as I can ever remember---I have been very "obsessed" over being "adequate"; looking "correct"-- meaning HUGELY, MONSTROUSLY-HUNG. I'm talking YEARS of agony; ridiculous-yes. But, very real...sometimes tormenting.
I just know some of our fellow lpsg members (according to their many candid, painfully-honest posts, can relate to this as well)

You (and I) may (and, probably will) have some critics out there who will reject your expressed view of being careful around the younger boys and what they see. But, I am going on record here..my on-line friend, as agreeing with you on this one--whole-heartedly.
