A word to those comments re EB's endowment

posted 13 years ago by Robdeneil

I cannot believe all the shallow, hateful comments posted regarding Eric Balfour's endowment, or lack of, according to some. Men and penises come in all shapes and sizes: Anyone who has one, or has ever played with one, knows that the size of the flaccid penis is a very poor indicator of the size of the same fully erect penis. There is simply no correlation, and I speak from personal experience in addition to the literature.

Personally, I find Eric Balfour incredibly hot and sexually attractive. I formed this opinion of him long before seeing this movie and getting a glimpse inside his jeans. However, my opinion of Balfour has changed after seeing this movie: I now find him even more attractive. I think it was damn straight and took balls (pardon the pun) for him to get bare ass naked and show off his beautiful body, despite the fact that he is obviously not hung like a porn star. He is acting--and acting well, I might add--in a part that calls for open sexual interaction with another actor. I think it was beautifully well acted by both actors, despite what you may think about the movie as a whole. As for me, I enjoyed the movie very much.

For those of you who wish to see bigger penises on screen, rent a porn flick.

Word on your whole post, Robdeneil, I couldn't have said it better myself. I admit, I merely bought the DVD for the chance to replay Eric's nude scenes over and over again (that ass of his!), but I found I also enjoyed the film as a whole. All the comments about his endowment being 'abnormally small' are just childish and hateful. Anyone who has a penis or seen and played with one knows a flaccid one can grow quite big. Trust me, I've had plenty of experience in this area. :D

I don't see how we can know if it was his erect penis or a prosthetic.

You're just dodging the truth like everyone else.

Lol. I have no investment in whether or not it's his. I don't believe it is and we don't see enough to know one way or another. You also aren't appreciating how well done prosthetics can be.

You think I don't know what a real boner looks like?

You see the whole thing!

Not on the (uncut) DVD version I have.

I'm pretty sure he's admitted it.

I'd be interested to learn where. On the DVD extra interviews there are no such admissions from him or anyone else.

what reason would they have to use a small prosthetic? Answer me that.

To keep in real in relation to his/its size when flaccid.

First, what's "someone like Balfour" supposed to mean?

He's physically gorgeous and so the fantasy would be he's well endowed. He's not. He's quite normal. That's refreshing as was his willingness to be filmed.

Second, if you think it's realistic why have a fake one?

Why not? One, it's not porn and two, with the pressures of filming and retakes, a fake one might be better ...

Why would Lee Smith be laughing so much during the scene?

Why not? Maybe it was hilarious to shoot. Maybe the prosthetic had a mind of its own!!

Third, you may not get a 360 view of it but you pretty clearly see the whole thing I believe.

You see what looks like an erect penis and if it's a prosthetic then it's very well done, I agree.

Believe it or not I do wonder about whether or not it's real because Balfour on his interview made some comment about having to get on really well with his co-star and it made me wonder. But that could mean lots of things and I took exception to your being so certain that you couldn't entertain any doubt. Ultimately we believe different things about the scene and that's OK with me.

I have to admit I'm not very hot on following an argument through logically, so I've got a bit lost. What I do get is that the previous posters have omitted something of their thought process that would make their position coherent. Is that right? And what of my thought process?

This has turned into a more interesting discussion than I would have expected, don't you think? Mind if I ask what you thought of the film overall?

I would imagine that the furore over his penis size when flaccid was in part surprise/shock that he was willing to bare all and that it was not suggested by his physique. By the latter I'm thinking of all those pathetic ideas that you can tell penis size by the nose, hands etc.

I'm glad that someone like Balfour was willing to bare all and as some have commented, the fact he did makes him more attractive rather than less.

Nah, the obsession about his penis size comes down to this: the average male penis while erect is 5.5" but ask any male how well endowed they are and they will all say 8+" because no male wants to be looked at as average and thus will obsess over and make fun of anyone who isn't visibly 8-12" or more so that they feel better about themselves.

[–] PoppyTransfusion 13 years ago

What you post Chance may be the case for the male posters here, but I think the long running thread 'small package' was begun by a woman! All I can say is thank god most men are not 8"+!!

I think that women have been objectified for so long because of the long standing obsession men have with things like breast size, weight, and aging that they feel empowered to denigrate men over penis size. Let's face it, ridiculing a man's size is as direct a hit to males as the word c--t is to women.

[–] PoppyTransfusion 13 years ago

I agree it is disrespectful. If you look at language and profanities, there are far more to describe women especially one's about their sexuality than there are for men. And lots of profanities are derivaties of c--t.

In the case of the actor, Mr Balfour, I still think his physique fulfils a stereotype of perfect male body; his very normal genitals shake the stereotype and this is what has encouraged more discussion on this board than anything else in the film. Sadly.

Everyone please it is not the size of the ship but the motion in the ocean...I have been with men who were larger and couldn't do a damned thing with it...Give me a break men cannot help their size but women can help theirs as screwing too much can make it too loose or having a baby can stretch it out of shape. So instead of screaming OH HARDER DEEPER LARGER!!! How about a guy screaming back TIGHTER, SMALLER!!!!!

[–] PoppyTransfusion 13 years ago

I don't think this thread is the one you should direct your comments at. The OP and most who have posted here would agree, so 'everyone please' is wasted here.

As for what you write about women and vaginas, it's not quite accurate and size of vagina is an issue for men more than women. Plus it reads as though women shouldn't have much sex, even with their husbands! And neither should they have babies. Both statements are nonsense.

No. He just has a small dick. As my friend put it (we watched the movie together) "what he lacks in length he could have made up for in girth, but he didn't have that either". Has nothing to do with any gender war or something, because the person who said it is my gay male friend lol.

Saying he has a small penis is just stating an obvious fact from the movie.

"So thats it? After twenty years, so long good luck?"
"I don't recall saying good luck"

Is this something that bothers you? Seeing a small dick?

I couldn't agree more, you can see the first time they have sex that his penis does grow much larger then when it is flaccid. A lot of guys are like that it's ridiculous to judge him when he doesn't have an erection he's clearly a grower. Have none of you had sex with someone like that before? Penises GROW when hard DUH. Clearly some extremely inexperienced folk on here judging him

[–] ZaubererDerZweite 9 years ago

I think people are judging the erection they saw as small.

I have no idea of what version those critics were watching but he was built like a stallion in the version I saw. Perhaps they were watching a bootleg copy - of course those copies are always missing something...

I paid full price and enjoyed EVERYTHING I saw!
