No doubt. The more normal and natural you make it for your son, the more normal and natural it'll be. It's no different than jacking off or lifting weights, IMO.

The penis is such a touchy subject now with all of the pressure we get from media and the wrong kind of women, but I think it is important for every man at some point in there life to learn about there penis in a way that is not influenced by supplements or the media. penis exercises is the way to go for size and penis health, but as most of the men have said on this thread, it should never be about penis size. The size of the human body, penis included, is all part of genetics and we have no control over it. The way that I would bring it up would be to bring up something that is much less controversial like weight lifting, or sports, and then make it a talk about genetics. I would then move towards PE and overall health.

If I had heard about PE in my teens I would probably have become obsessed with size. (We see a lot of that here.)
If I had learned of it in my mid-twenties, I would have been much better prepared to handle it.
We are all different.
My boys are in their teens and one might be ready but I think the risks to him still outweigh the benefits. I expect that to change int eh next couple of years.
Great thread gentlemen.

I think that when a father lets their son in on PE, it's up to the father to guide his son to handle it properly so that the benefits outweigh the risks. I agree that there's a certain maturity level to doing PE responsibly, but I also think your son could be taught that responsibility and guided to that maturity by his father.

Good post, JBRivers. I don't know if it's NEVER about penis size. I just think that penis size doesn't have to be the initial focus of letting your son in on PE. Just like we tell a kid a baby comes from a mother's belly before we let him know about sex, a similar "need to know" basis can be done with letting your son in on PE, depending on his age and maturity.

I would have absolutely no problem discussing any of this with my boys and there is absolutely nothing shameful in my eyes with PE. But as Pirate mentions, it's a risk vs. benefit thing. Teens and young guys almost never need PE for penile health, it would probably be all about size. As far as I'm concerned, the risk is my ONLY concern regarding my sons. The risks may be small, but they are real. Just read through the injury threads on Thunders. If my sons wanted to get into PE, I'd make sure they did just that, and that they were mature enough to make that decision reasonably.

In discussing this with one of my buddies on another forum, he had some wise words that I thought pertained to this thread.

School - The mind - Society believes it is necessary
Physical Fitness - The body - Society is okay with it, but does not demand it
PE - The penis - Taboo

They're all self improvement, just a different connotation. Having a PE talk and letting the kid go for a few years, probably a dumb dumb idea. Have continued talks about PE, penis health, accurate statistics, sex in more depth, the actual importance of size in the scope of life.

I agree that a one and done will probably fuck with the kid, but opening a dialogue is only going to deepen your relationship with your son, and you will be able to mitigate some of his own insecurities be it penis size or acne or anything. Just because you don't hold your son's hand for him to cross literal streets anymore doesn't mean he wouldn't appreciate you holding it when he's crossing the figurative streets that exist in growing up.

Sorry if that's a bit disjoint, but to sum up, in my opinion opening a dialogue is never going to create problems only make them more tolerable.

The same could be said for playing football, lifting weights, etc. I get what you're saying thought, Flex. No father would want their son to get hurt. Maturity is a big issue. I think your son knowing that PE exists doesn't mean he'll do it any more than letting him know weight lifting exists means he's going to do that. If it's his interest, then he'll do it. If not, he won't. It's not about promoting it, it's just putting the information out there and letting him make a choice. If he makes that choice, then you guide and coach him, so to speak, just like you would with anything else.

Someone posted this on another forum and I thought it was interesting to see how things were back in the 1950's compared to today.

I think it has more to do with the timing than anything. Like, I wish my dad had talked to me about sex when I was younger. I've learned almost everything from the Internet and from sex ed, and feel like I missed out on part of my relationship with my dad. From the parent's point of view, it may be hard to start a dialogue with your son, but talking about it at the right time matters more than what you're going to say about it in my opinion. By the right time, I mean that you need to open up that dialogue before you lose the chance to do so.

My approach to opening up a dialogue would be: "Son, have you ever heard of penis enlargement?" I think that's the best way to start a conversation about it. Explain that there's a whole men's community online. That has never been possible ever before, until now thanks to the Internet.

Don't deprive your sons of this knowledge. I'm sure it would be an incredible motivator for me if someone I knew in real life told me about PE, and that it actually works!

Just whatever you do, make sure that you're non-judgmental about it. If your son thinks he has a small dick and that he's inadequate, you have a greater chance of hurting his ego by accidentally being too judgmental.
