Where are all the small dicks? Beau explores the topic of ‘dickflation’ and gay men’s obsession with penis size and the desire to be hung.

We discuss the “long and short” of penis size perceptions within the gay, bi, and queer community. Joining us is the Beau, as we tip-toe through the not-so-tiny world of how media, porn, and Twitter chatter shape expectations around the ol’ tallywhacker.

From societal standards that can sometimes feel as rigid as, well, you know, to the portrayal of penile prowess in various forms of entertainment, we’re unzipping the truth of penis size. We’ll probe into the intersection of racism and fatphobia and how these factors play a role in perceptions.

But wait, there’s more! We’ll also tap into the art of measurement, exploring how this delicate matter often gets tangled in the web of confirmation bias. And speaking of web, Twitter culture’s impact? Oh, it’s a throbbing subject, alright.

Amidst all the winks and nods, we’ll shed light on nudism’s role as a liberating route to embracing diversity in the, let’s say, “appendage arena.”

We revisit the time Tim and Michael attempted to mold their own members and whether Beau had more success in that regard.

So, join us for a no-‘holes’-barred, ballsy discussion that’s all about breaking down the expectations, revealing the realities, and, most importantly, celebrating the wondrous spectrum that the male form has to offer. Remember, it’s not just the size of the boat, but the motion of the ocean, and the camaraderie on the deck that truly counts.
