In the worst case scenarios, this may even result in one being labelled a pervert, creep or possibly even a sex offender, with no substance behind the accusation whatsoever, besides me having a well-endowed big penis. | ||

So I guess female prejudice in this regard stems from ignorance. | ||

**(Stan) Yes. I tend to avoid public swimming pools, because even when I'm flaccid, the extensiveness of the proportions that the manbulge of my anatomy produces in the groin area can give the appearance of either a wardrobe malfunction or indecent exposure. | **(Stan) Yes. I tend to avoid public swimming pools, because even when I'm flaccid, the extensiveness of the proportions that the manbulge of my anatomy produces in the groin area can give the appearance of an erection, and for ignorant people this is deemed either a wardrobe malfunction or indecent exposure. | ||

**(Stan) No. But I have had correspondence with a man who has semi-priapism. What surprised me is how many of the symptoms of semi-priapism and macrophallism overlapped. Semi-priapism, as he described it, is basically is a mild form of priapism, wherein erections are frequent, but without any of the pain that's associated with the actual medical condition of priapism. So because our social situations overlaps, it would be useful to deal with both as a collective. | **(Stan) No. But I have had correspondence with a man who has semi-priapism.

**(Stan) I doubt it. Unfortunately, most of western society continues to view any genitalia related topics with comedy, especially if the genitalia-related issue pertains to size. There are countless comedians who create gigs on either small penises or gigs on large penises. As such, as of the 2010s and 2020s, nobody is likely to take the plight of men experiencing macrophallism or semi-priapism seriously. Nonetheless, I hope with some tuition by an agency catering to macrophallists and semi-priapists, at some point such dismissive attitudes to our plight may diminish. | **(Stan) I doubt it.

**(Stan) My message is that there should be an awareness campaign targeted at both men and especially women that neither semi-priapism nor macrophallism is synonymous with an aroused erection. Greater awareness of the distinction between an aroused erection on the one hand and semi-priapism and macrophallism on the other will probably help normies to understand the harm associated with such prejudice, and that such prejudice falls under the umbrella term of physiognomy. Hopefully that will increase empathy for our plight. | **(Stan) My message is that there should be an awareness campaign targeted at both men and especially women that neither semi-priapism nor macrophallism is synonymous with an libertine sporting an aroused erection.

**(Stan) As of now, funding for female health and social issues far outweights funding that men receive. One can look at the disparity in statistics between andrology and gynecology where the former gets a fraction of the latter. However, neither macrophallists nor semi-priapists can fall under the andrology umbrella since they aren't medical disorders. They simply face social problems so the social problems should be addressed. | **(Stan) As of now, funding for female health and social issues far outweights funding that men receive.

**(Ron) Yes. I previously faced no problems for freeballing because my previus job was heavy duty and accompanied thick trousers wherein the freeballing wasn't discernible. But at my new career, I faced two employers who reprimanded me, and another who fired me from my job. I just hope that in the same way women are protected if they are freeboobing when they feel uncomfortable wearing a bra, likewise men should be allowed to freeball without any ramifications. | **(Ron) Yes.

**(Ron) Yes, it can. I'm a perfect example of that. | **(Ron) Yes, it can. I'm a perfect example of that. This is especially the case if you freeball. Freeballing means you are not uptucking, sidetucking or downtucking the penis. This state of affairs might mean the moden western workplace is misandric, because otherwise why is freeballing reprimanded whilst the same attitude towards freeboobing (the act of going braless) would be lambasted as misogyny? | ||

**(Ron) Kind of. Basically any type of service in close quarters are the most likely for it to occur; for example I've had massotherapists and Brazilian waxers reject service to me because they assumed I was erect, when I was not, even though I had previously been a customer at their venue. Other less close quarters services can likewise turn you down | **(Ron) Kind of.

**(Ron) Yes. Most people have no qualms about wearing whichever wardrobe item they want to wear. Besides macrophallism I aso have a high metabolism which causes me to get hot easily. As such, I enjoy wearing light clothes such as basketball shorts, sweatpants and pajama pants. However because the manbulge this creates I am often forced to be uncomfortable in my own home lest my family members feel discomfort at the sight of my manbulge. | **(Ron) Yes.

Due to my autism I retained diaper use a bit longer than most kids, almost up to 5 years old. The problem was that when I'd have an erection as a child my penis would peek out of the waistband of my diapers. This was because although a child, I had a penile length the equivalent of the average adult and the diaper couldn't contain my penis inside. I lived with two aunties who both would shout at me if peeking-out penis resulted in me wetting the bed. The older auntie frequently beat me as a result of it, not taking into consideration I had autism, nor that I couldn't control that my penis would peek out of diapers. | ||

**(Bob) Yes. I faced macrophallophobic abuse during my post-toddler years too, by both my mother and by my aunties. By the age of 5 I had transitioned from diapers to potty training seats. However, because I had an adult penis on a child's body, my penis would lean upon the seat whenever I'd defecate. This gave my aunts additional reasons to verbally abuse me when I'd end up peeing outside of the potty seat. As for my mother, she encouraged me to run around the house naked up to the age I was around 6 o so, I suspect because she treated my endowment as a trophy to show off. The reason I know my mother wanted me to be ostentatious and almost an exhibitionist is because my other two siblings (one who's a girl, and the other a brother with a normal-sized penis) were never persuaded into behaving as an exhibitionist. | **(Bob) Yes.

**(Bob) No. This is mostly because I have mastered the art of uptucking, sidetucking and downtucking to the point my manbulge is no longer noticeable. Tucking in my circumstance is the male analogous practice to what is in some Tropical Zone nations described as breast ironing. Tween girls breast iron to ensure they do not endure a sexual gaze.

**(Bob) My message is that my experience is proof that objectification is not a notion limited to women as I had obviously been objectified from childhood.

My experience is proof that objectification is not a notion limited to women as I had obviously been objectified from childhood. Furthermore, the subset of men, or boys in my case, who face the highest risk of being subjected to being objectified are men with the condition of macrophallism. Also unlike with women, being objectified can go hand-in-hand with being viewed as a sexual predator, purely on account of one's physiological makeup. | ||
