The Atlantic: 1 in 3 Men Can't See His Penis

and CAN see my buddy, despite my belly not being all that flat!

I always figured that would be a tell-tale sign.

I can see my buddy, too, but unless we're in the shower at the gym I seldom see his junk.


He's usually clothed, you see.

It is a fair question.

I guess Ron Jeremy could weigh 500 pounds and pass the test.

Lou

Their gut sticks out farther than their dicky do.

Seen on a t-shirt at a truck stop somewhere along an interstate somewhere . . .

in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

It made me vow never to have a gut like that!

Did they account for that??

Besides, even when I weighed 50 lbs more (I'm 135 now) I could still see it without a mirror - even in "dinky" state.

....Shit man, did you lose all that weight from making love to your Beautiful Wife??

I'm a vegetarian, like you. I lost about 20 pounds the first couple of months, eliminating animal products....that was about 15 years ago. I've since gained some of it back, because I have a baaaad sweet tooth! And, alas, getting older, too.

admit it.

part of me still cringes at the idea of Paul Ryan being in any office...I would bet his junk will end up on a phone pic somewhere too....just sayin...

No Doubt!

and i'm betting a lot of them can't.

(Sergeant Schultz said that on Hogan's Heroes when asked if he could see his own feet.)

I'll tell you something worse though; scrotal edema.

After certain surgeries, the body has a difficult time getting rid of excess fluid. Water seeks its own level and in men, it tends to include the scrotum.

We order something called a 'scrotal shrinker'-- basically a type of jock strap. It's ordered in 'fruit' sizes, grapefruit, cantaloupe and watermelon.

The penis often completely retracts during this time, lost in the edema. You can't see it because its completely hidden, and painful to put the kind of pressure needed to make it visible.

I've seen all three sizes in my work as a nurse. I tend to bring in the topic up with my guys because they're often afraid to bring it up or talk about it.

The good news? It's temporary.

But I think a lot of people gauge their fatness at any given time by looking down to see how much of their crotch is covered by their stomach. I know I do...
