Guy on Reddit: "I Have a Micropenis"
Robert Guerrero
OK, hundreds of comments, not thousands. Here's his opening:
Hey everyone, I just wanted to share something that's been weighing heavily on me for a long time. I have a micropenis, and it's been extremely difficult to find a partner who can accept me for who I am. I'm not here to complain or ask for sympathy, I just need to get this off my chest.
Growing up, I always knew I was different from other boys. I didn't understand why my penis was so small, and I felt like I was less of a man because of it. As I got older, I started to realize just how much of an impact this was going to have on my life.
I've been rejected by countless women because of my size. Some of them were polite about it, while others were cruel and made fun of me. It's a terrible feeling to be reduced to something like that, to feel like you're not even worth being intimate with. It's led to a lot of depression and anxiety for me.
One particularly awful experience was when I finally worked up the courage to ask out a girl I really liked. We went on a few dates, and things seemed to be going well. One night, we ended up back at her place and started fooling around. When she saw my penis, she immediately started laughing and said she couldn't do it. I was devastated. I've never felt so small and worthless in my entire life.
I know there are people out there who will tell me to just get over it, that size doesn't matter, and all that. But the truth is, it does matter to a lot of people. And it's not just about sex, it's about feeling like a complete human being. It's about feeling like you're not broken or defective.
I'm not sure what the point of this post is, really. I guess I just wanted to vent and let people know that there are others out there going through similar struggles. If you're someone who's dealt with this, please know that you're not alone. And if you're someone who's ever made fun of someone for their size, please understand the kind of pain you're causing. We're all just trying to find our place in the world, and some of us have a harder time than others.
