Thanks, Spelvin, for mentioning me in your post...

I stand by what I wrote last time: at that age, I envied my brother's and my cousin's penises.
They grew longer or shorter, they hardened and softened, they changed size, the foreskin could hide or reveal the tip... Then there was the sack with the balls... For me, it was much more beautiful and interesting than my simple, narrow slit... (I didn't yet know about the clitoris and the opening of the vagina)...

Sorry if I was blunt and forward.

I have heard girls say they felt cheated or something was missing when they saw a boys penis. When you boys will pee in woods right in front of girls and they have to pee away modestly and they mention they are annoyed by it.

I have also seen girls say I did not know it did that when erect at campground showers with mom when I was 8. I would always shower with mom and at campground some girls saw erect penis in shower.

I think it is a bit true
