Today marks the most historic day in American history in many, many years. I know 9.11.2001 wasn’t many, many years ago, and yes it was an historic day as well, but this is a happy historic day.

While waiting for the inauguration to officially begin, which is about to happen any second, I’ve found another man worthy of praise on this glorious day. His name is Lawrence Barraclough and he is filmmaker who has been struggling with the emotional and physical “limitations” surrounding the size of his penis. He has a small dick, he himself admits it. When it’s erect it’s approximately 3 inches. In his first documentary, which aired over two years ago, “My Penis and I” he spent two years discovering just how much size mattered. He’s now followed up that first film with a second one, “My Penis and Everyone Else’s.”

It’s not easy for a guy to go on camera and talk about his small penis. I imagine it’s even harder when he poses the question (again and again) does size matter?, only to find out that when it comes to most people’s immediate response, the answer is overwhelmingly yes. And even if you’re in the minority because you are more enlightened than the rest of the world, the truth is, you know you’ve thought that size mattered at some point. It’s the most often asked question, this size thing, and while I believe that a man with a small penis can be a better lover than a man with a big one (especially if he knows how to use his hands and tongue) I know that I’ve been guilty of thinking about how I would feel if I had a lover I couldn’t feel deep inside of me.

I’d like to think it wouldn’t make or break my relationship, but I’m only human, and I don’t really know what it would do for me. But that’s not the point right now. The point is, Lawrence Barraclough is a brave man, one who goes on camera and says “I have a small penis” and even shows it to anyone who has an Internet connection or lives in a place where they get BBC3. And in this next film “My Penis and Everybody Else’s” he asks other men to submit photos of their “chaps” to show the world that there are myriads of penis sizes on all types of bodies. What I also hope it shows is that size does not make the man.

I think everyone should take a moment to think how much size matters. And what size matters most? Is it really the size of his penis or does the size of his heart and mind matter more? And then everyone should have to see both of these films. Or at least watch the trailers here.
