"You are being asked to play into the contorted (you might even say deluded) way that many obsess about penis size. Inflation runs especially high on apps, where (at least in the gay world) it is wise to subtract an inch (or two!) from whatever number a guy presents. Continuing the charade IRL can feel like actively thrusting yourself into absurdism. You don't have to lie to anyone for the sake of their penis-shaped ego."
"As reflected in your sign-off, people should think twice about asking questions they don't really want the answers to. Unless this guy's dick is in the 12" range, he should be able to envision a reality where, of course, there are bigger dicks out there and any given partner may have encountered one or more of them. The failure to do so is sheer egocentrism and it's not your job to help some trick continue feeling like the center of the world."
Many people obsess about penis size and reported measurements are often inflated, especially on apps. Subtracting an inch or two from profile claims is frequently realistic. Continuing to play along in person can feel absurd and need not be your responsibility. Partners should be able to accept that others may have been larger unless the size is extraordinary. Responding by glossing over the question during sex is a reasonable move, and outright lying to boost an ego is optional rather than required. People should think twice before asking questions they do not actually want answered.
