My inbox is a phallocentric xxx parody of Goldilocks: this person wants to hear that their penis is excessively big, this one is worried their penis is too small, this one doesn’t understand why their “average” appendage isn’t a magical rod that inflicts convulsions of pleasure with every thrust, and these other six and counting want to know what size is just right.
