This isn’t to say that straight guys actively and persistently look in order to compare one man’s anaconda to another man’s pretzel stick (though I am sure some do), but comparing is something that potentially happens on the sly and in one’s own head (a guy thinks to himself, “Well, he’s certainly bigger than me”). Gay Single Guy ( Daniel): Yes, guys check out other guys’ equipment - even if they are straight. (I wonder what the protocol is for gay guys?) The only other John Thomases hetero men ever see is the elephant timber in porn, which doesn’t help at all, so if a guy just has to know how he measures in the real world up he’ll probably resort to asking a woman (and we all know how well that works). The straight male culture is so incredibly homophobic that the mere suggestion of potential homosexuality that comes from looking - even just for a split second, even accidentally - is what keeps straight guys eyes averted as if every penis were the Lost Arc.
There’s an unspoken rule, at least among straight guys, that in the men’s room you look anywhere but at another man’s equipment. This week they answer the following: Do guys check each other out in the locker room? Or what about at the urinal? Not necessarily in an attraction way, just in an “how do I measure up” kind of way?
