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 👨🏼❤️💋👨🏽
Oh dear.
DeleteThis poor man. He's very courageous. Men line up to tell the world their dick is big, but to tell the world their dick is NOT big? Very few.
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
Correct.
DeleteIt's a forever pissing contest for some men. I think he's doing many men a favor.
XOXO
Big says,
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
One of the biggest reasons why sex education is necessary!
DeleteOnce we pass adolescence, there's little that can be done about something like that.
Hopefully, people (parents, especially) will learn something.
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.
ReplyDeleteSame!
DeleteThe locker room is a cesspool of fuckery. I also knew a kid who was mocked because his dick was 'too big'. I showed him why he WAS special.
XOXO
Good for Michael for being open and spreading awareness and understanding. I hope he finds his one true love to share his life with.
ReplyDeleteOMG same!
DeleteHe's an attractive man. He seems weighed down by his predicament, but who wouldn't???
I do hope there's someone for him out there...
XOXO
I 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.
ReplyDeleteDave, babes.
ReplyDeleteThat's why the video is there. Counseling can do just so much in a case like this. And he's a virgin, Dave. Even though he had some girlfriends. Do the math.
XOXO
Small and proud! My dad has a little dick, that's what he gave to me, passed it right down and I always enjoy hanging out with my father naked. He taught me to be proud of my body and it was a great bonding experience.
ReplyDeleteSociety continues to focus on form instead of function: the practical function of a penis in a man's life is to provide sexual pleasure and secondarily to fertilise an egg. Surely there are a number of options available to create sexual pleasure that aren't constrained by penis size, just as there are ways to fertilise an egg without penetration, plus other sources of the other life requirements for a man that can make his life complete from a number of sources that are easier to achieve separately than finding one perfect person who can accommodate all the ideosyncracies in any one man. Let's start encouraging looking outside the box and not being so intent on vanilla as the only acceptable flavour. There's more than one way to skin a cat as they say.
ReplyDeleteThe other aspect that no-one has dared mention is that this man appears to be overweight and speaking from experience, it reduces the apparent length of any penis, adding insult to injury in the case of a small penis, however is probably the easiest thing to remedy using the latest weight loss drugs.
