When a man asks you about the size of his penis...

[vashti]

Believe it or not, I get asked this a lot. When a man asks me how he compares in size to other men, should I lie? How honest should I be? Some men seem genuinely clueless... Don't you guys look at other men in the restroom?

(For those who don't know, I'm a nurse.)

I don't look in the restroom. That would be weird..

And I guess you shouldn't lie, what is, is.

I know mine is small, but there's nothing we can do about it..

just tell them theirs is the biggest one you've ever seen.

Men ask you this? Men you're idiots. That's like asking: "does this dress make me look fat?" (And we all know how annoying that is don't we?) If you say no, you're lying if you say yes, byebye!

Is this random men in the wards asking you these questions? If so I think it's pretty rude. You should either ignore those questions completely or if they insisst tell them it's unethical and it's against regulations for you to answer.

This must be the stupidest thing I've read the whole week.

Sometimes when they ask, it IS inappropriate, and I laugh at them.

Other times, it is a genuine question, asked with humility, and that's when I get stuck. They are looking for validation - to feel good about themselves, and they are insecure. It would be cruel to say "well, you are a little on the short side".. you know?

Don't say anything Vash. They shouldn't be asking you these questions in the first place. Just tell them that these kind of questions could get you in trouble and they should know better than to ask you again.

I'm a guy and I think we generally know if we are small, average, big, or oh my god you will kill somebody with that.

I am happily average...maybe I won't be in a porno but ya know what average just means that there are guys who are below average...so I know I don't have the smallest penis in the world...as robot says...you have what you have....can't make it any bigger.

I know a girl who was with a guy and she said his penis was the size of a car cigarette lighter erect....thats like 2.5-3 inches....she wasn't impressed but she never told the guy....I actually know him now and he is married...everytime I see his wife I can't help but laugh a little bit...I just wanta lean over and ask "so do you just have a really small vagina?"

I find it less cruel than saying it when you are angry...

Damn, poor guy. That must make the owner feel like shit about it....

Yes, you are probably right. I guess I sometimes get caught up in "reassuring" aspect of my job.

I do like miso's approach, though. Rolling my eyes and saying it's the biggest I ever saw would keep things light.

for the record, I would never say that to anyone, whether or not it was true. It would hurt me to say it almost as much as it would hurt them to hear.

What would make you think we look at other dude's penises in the bathroom?
