does anyone with 2 or more sons have sons with very differently sized penises? If so, how did you handle it when they noticed? It's just that I used to have a boyfriend with a huge hang up about a tiny penis, which I'm sure must have come from somewhere in his past - and I want to avoid my "little one" from getting the same issues!

I only have one DS so can't really comment. However, I've been wanting to ask something on here for ages but was too scared... anyones baby got a tiny willy? My DS has but I think it's more that he's fat around it so you can't see it properly. It's stupid but it's bothering me as at swimming, some of the older (talking) babies comment on it. he's 9 months BTW. And I too obviously don't want to make any issue of it but I can't help it that others notice...

snap. I posted about it when ds1 was little and people basically said "don't go giving inventing hang ups for him." But as you say, other people will comment (in my case, ds2 surely will one day) and I want to make sure I say the right thing when it occurs.

It's stupid isn't it... it shouldn't be a worry but other kids will notice.

only have the one son but i have a brother who is a year younger and we all lived together for a year. problem is that my Ds isn't exactly overblessed down there and my brother practically hangs to his knees (i kid you not! its so big even visitors have noticed and commented on it...much to my dad's satisfaction may i add)

my nephew was also not overly blesed and so my other brother came to his aid one day when he was getting teased.
he gave him a little come back for anyone who teases him in future which is......

Well dts1 has quite a difference in size to dts2. Never having studied little boys peepees indepth I would imagine dts2 is about normal size for age 4 1/2 but dts1 is a big boy and always has been.

Dh seemed to take this, when they were first born with some pride but I stopped him from telling people for the sake of dts2. I don't want to give him a complex. It isn't exactly something you can talk about freely although dh and his friends made lots of comments about it.

No doubt when they get to that age where it all starts becoming important it might become an issue. Dts2 did once, aged about 18 months, get so angry at his brother who was splashing him in the bath that he reached under the water and pulled him by his bits. Luckily I laughed at the absurdity of it and stopped any furor.

Ive wondered this before, but its not really the sort of thing you can ask is it! (I did ask a male doctor once but he just gave me a look)
