In primates small testicle size is correlated with how many males a female typically mates with. More males mating with the same female means the male that produces the most sperm has an advantage. So gorillas have tiny balls because every troop only has one silverback male, and chimps have horrifically huge nuts because there’s a lot of competition for mates from other males in the troop.
Interestingly, humans fall roughly in the middle of the scale in terms of ball size!

Good meme, but we really ought to end small-penis hatred.

It’s not the small penis we hate, it’s the loud car.

My most satisfying sexual experience was with a small dude
I begged him for a second date. I think he was self-conscious about it. Dude was marriage material

Yes, but we use the small penis as an insult, which is not fair.

I hate a lot of things.
Guess i should start body shaming because of that?
No. Only insecure losers bodyshame.

Problem is that this legitimizes their belief that there are set characteristics that define people as “manly.”
Every 30 years or so we make some sort of social progress for women and/or LGBT people, and then a panic ensues that society is trying to destroy manliness. The Joe Rogans and Andrew Tates of the world suddenly pop up and start selling their nonsense that will magically make them the man’s men that their grandfathers were (while in fact their grandfathers were being told the same thing.)
The solution to this isn’t to tell the loud whiners that their exact fears are true. It’s to divorce ourselves from the notion that being a man is determined by penis/testicle size, or even by having them at all. By telling the bigots that their worst fears are true, we’re tacitly endorsing their bigotry as legitimate, when we should be doing the exact opposite of that.

Counterpoint: it’s the hate that makes them compensate?

Testicle size and potency is entirely unrelated to penis size, for all the men out there, and if you only ever have one partner you want to make babies with you don’t really need to be a super stud in the testicle department either… you just need regular sexual contact with your lady half.
And people with breeder fetishes are fucking gross and weird. Musk is one such and just… eew.

It’s not about the actual size, it’s more like a mindset

this is about the crystal balls, not the magic wand.
