Question: I have a very serious question about my newborn nephew. If you're an immature person, please do not answer.? We welcomed our latest addition to our family, my nephew, two weeks ago, and noticed something different. It's embarrassing to say, but well, he was born with a penis 3.25 inches in length. My sister-in-law spoke with the doctor and asked if something was wrong with him and he said NO. He said that while the average newborn penis is usually between 1 and 2 inches in length, while it is rare, it isn't abnormal for a child to be 3 inches plus. He said it was something called macropenis.
Anyways, our family is worried. The doctor said sometimes, kids with his condition can also end up with macrodactyly (not sure if I spelled that right), where their limbs and digits grow disproportionate to the body but that this is something we'll just have to wait and see.
I'm worried too. I mean what if when he enters puberty he isn't able to go fully erect because of his bigger than average size. And what if he is too much for a woman and is unable to satisfy his wife later on without hurting her. When my sister-in-law visited her grandparents, her grandmother said,'Oh, he's just like our cousin Mohab!', so I guess being well hung is something that runs in their side of the family. Has anyone experienced something like this and where can I get some good information on this. We all just want the kid to be okay, and once again, I have better things to do with my time than be a f*cking troll, so if you're an immature person, please do not post an answer. It will be ignored!
Answer: While it is possible. I was going to suggest newborn swelling.
I have heard stories from my cousin, and this is not meant to be funny, a friend of hers is married to a man with an exceptionally long penis. They have been married for many years and and have a half dozen children I believe all around my age, some older and 2 for sure younger. I am 29btw. Her husband measures without a lie 18" and while he does experience the impossible task of buying underwear that fit they work around that. His wife fixes all of his underwear to properly fit him and appropriately. The idea was amusing at first picturing 18" of penis in elephant trunk like underwear needing to be strapped to his leg, but then I thought about the down side too. What if he got teased as a child. I am pretty sure I heard he grew up in the west indies, but kids are cruel to any differences no matter where you live. He is not able to get a full textbook erection purely due to the size, it doesn't stand out from his body, but can get hard enough to do what's needed. Not sure what was going through his wife's mind their ist time, but somehow they manage.
He's just a brand new baby, things can always change, some kids are born with larger heads like my 1st son, his head felt huge during delivery and still measures larger at almost 6 years of age, some are long and skinny, my 2nd and 3rd were both 22" long, but my 2nd son was over 10Lbs.
Hope for the best, and if things don't change, keep him positive and if necessary his parents or family can even go as far as to explain how to work around his difference, some families aren't exactly as open minded as others, but hopefully everything works out.
Question: I have a genetic disease called Macrodactyly in my left foot and was refused employment. Illegal right? I had an interview at an employment agency and was refused a receptionist job, catering job, and a warehouse job because my foot makes it hard to fine "business appropriate" shoes. I can understand not working in a warehouse, but come on. I can't be a receptionist either? Oh wait I can. What these people did/said is illegal correct?
Answer: Certainly illegal if they said it clearly that you weren't being hired because of the condition you have.
