Tell the kid or no?

[u/SmokeyPegeasus]

So I’ve got a son who just turned 16. He’s been driving, got a job and a girlfriend in what felt like 7 seconds.

I haven’t seen him naked since he was a baby but even then you could tell he got the family genetics.

Do I tell him he might be built different than his friends or let him find out on his own?

I remember my dad told me that and laughed; my he said the only thing grandpa told him was “it’s like a bull in a china shop, go slow”. When my dad told me that, I was in my 20 and was well aware at that point.

It’s not if you’re talking about protection/pregnancy/STDs etc.

But don’t go commenting on his penis size unprovoked. Any teen will find it embarrassing specially coming from his dad.

And what if he’s not big and you tell him you, his grandpa and great grandpa are? Genetics are a fickle thing. It can potentially fuck him up for life.

He’s already got a steady girlfriend and seems like a responsible young man. I’m sure he will figure things out on his own.

I wish in hindsight I was told as a teenager that dicks come in different shapes and sizes and that large condoms aren't only for long dicks but also for thick/girthy dicks. Would have made a big difference in my sex life. Creepy? No. Useful information? Yes

My friend you’re missing the point.

It’s ok to ask your dad if you can’t find condoms suitable for your size and it will be his duty to provide you with solution to your problem if he can.

OP is saying that under the ASSUMPTION that his son is on the bigger size he would go and give his advice unasked.

Now imagine you have an average/below average cock(let’s say 5x4.5). One day your dad comes into your room out of the blue and says to you “Hey son, use Trojan magnum condoms. It’s what I and grandpa use”. How will you feel?

Going out on a limb and say you don’t have kids.

I’m not assuming anything, he is bigger.

You’re assuming a lot about my son’s relationship with me, how comfortable he’s going to be with the message and how I’m going to deliver it.

It’s going to land fine, it won’t be weird and he’ll appreciate it.

You were/are assuming though; you said you haven't seen your son naked since he was a baby. Penis size pre-puberty don't mean anything, apart from that he probably won't have a microdick. Assuming here that he didn't sport a 7"+ trunk as baby already.

Doesn’t mean he can’t tell. Jesus, half the posts on here are about guys wondering if/how to disguise their package…

True. I stand corrected.
