Oh, Mr. Phillips...!!!!!
Here's the thing:
The idea of not really having a love life when you actually want one is heartbreaking.
The idea being rejected for something like this is heartbreaking.
The idea of feeling trapped in your own body is heartbreaking.
Having a condition that affects 1.5 in 100,000 people should be something we talk more about. Especially when so very few people understand the condition and when so very few people actually come out and talk about something like this why we need to become more aware of this. This is a man in his thirties. Just sit down for a second and think how the realization that he's part of such a small part of the population makes him feel. How he should have suffered in silence. How did he go through PE in school? How did he go through those first attempts at dating someone? How did he go about his life after visiting a doctor who told him there was nothing to do? And we worry about being naked in the cold.
I have never known of or seen anybody who is not average, and I am glad, because I have no idea how I would have reacted if I had ever met someone like Michael. I want to think that I would have been understanding and compassionate enough to not having batten an eyelash, but I'm not so sure. I want to think that I would have concentrated on the person and not the appendage. I think the surprise alone (not ever having been with a man like Michael) would have left me speechless and you know how that works in delicate situations. This video was for me both illuminating and humbling. That this man went on tv (after having talked about his condition on social media) and talked about something that very, very, very few men even think about, is an act of bravery. This man is more courageous than all of the idiots who have pointed at him and laughed or whispered behind his back.
It's not just the fact that this condition impacts his love life, but it impacts even functioning in the real world! It is difficult sometimes for him to do things we don't even think about. This whole thing gives me a whole new perspective on the privileges that we enjoy (without even mentioning the psychological burden!). This is not material for jokes (I can just see the 'alpha' males in the manosphere giggling while trashing this guy for raising... awareness??) this is a real medical condition that could affect any man. Any. Man.
And we should talk more about it.
Michael Phillips. You are very brave.
XOXO

ReplyDeleteI can only imagine the pain he’s felt throughout the years. And then he broaches the subject on his social media, which previously was populated with work and travel posts. Kudos to his followers for their compassion and the women who subsequently reached out to him letting him know that there are people interested in non-sexual relationships.
I hope he finds peace and happiness in his life. He is brave, indeed.
XOXO 👨🏼❤️💋👨🏽
We are conditioned as young boys to think our dicks are who we are and they must be big.
ReplyDeleteWe're really quite stupid.
Good on him for coming out.
xoxo

ReplyDeleteOne of the biggest (no pun intended) reasons that ******Fathers need to talk to their Sons******!!! "Late bloomer" isn't always the case, is it? Yet, that's even how **most** physicians would respond. It's courageous for him to be speaking out and I hope there are men out there who will take a lesson from this.
XOXO
I can't even imagine how he feels or what he even goes through. And just the fact like you said you went through High School in gym class must have been awful enough. Cuz I remember guys in the locker room getting picked on Big Time for physical issues like being too fat or having small penises. I even remember one guy named ski who had the opposite a huge cock for that age. People ridiculed him but I think it was mostly out of jealousy. Cuz at the end of the day I heard more than a couple of them say how lucky he was to have a giant cock yet they'd. still ridiculum. But in this guy's case this is completely different Society has a different Outlook to a larger penis compared to a micro penis. I can't even imagine what this guy's been through, mentally and physically.
ReplyDeleteGood for Michael for being open and spreading awareness and understanding. I hope he finds his one true love to share his life with.
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch the entire video, so I'm wondering if he's ever sought counseling to deal with this issue. Nor did I hear him saying that he'd been frequently mocked and kicked out of bed because of his size. Believe me when I tell you there are a lot more little dicks in this world than there are big dicks.
