Hello. For those of you who didn't watch the massive trainwreck that was Big Brother 3000, my name is Loma Shade. For those of you who did watch it -- well, I hope you had more fun watching it than anyone of us had being up there. Huge upset, considering how excited I was for it initially.

Now then, I have a quick question. This one is specifically for the men, but women can chime in as well - I don't know a lot about this and I'm sure plenty do. Really I'm just rattled with a question that's been on my mind in the past couple weeks. It came to me in the vast and infinite span of space, the universe stretching into the abyss, making a person feel so small and insignificant. The men I was on board with - they seemed to have this running fascination? And I haven't been able to figure it out why, so I come to you all through this device.

...

Gentlemen, why are you so obsessed with penises? Yours, or another's. This is a truly honest question and I can't figure out a good reason, so. Explain yourselves. What is the deal?

[ just. why. she's seen pictures and it doesn't even look impressive. ]

They're just really concerned that something might happen to them if they don't give them enough attention.

That makes no sense! I highly doubt their penis will detach and walk away.

[shadowglitter]

Hmm? "Running fascination"? I didn't notice anything like that. What are you talking about?

[poreiavian]

Do not pretend to be an innocent in this sexual debauchery, there are three weeks of footage.

[knaval]

Please report all findings to me. This seems to be a human thing.

...


Though I guess Cybertronians had a thing about gun size.

[poreiavian]

It might just be a human male thing. I've never heard women talk about their genitals like it's the most amazing thing to ever exist. [ smh ] Do you care for your gun size? Is it a big gun, Riptide?

voice;

[kanyounot]

I think it's kind of a competition thing. It's not necessarily limited to human males, any species that has a lot of competitiveness will have things like that.

Compensating for insecurities in other areas of life, maybe?

[poreiavian]

Hm. So men compete to see who has the largest. But isn't that a biological dependent? You can't make your penis bigger... right?

audio;

[reexamined]

I didn't know why it was such a fascination either, and then I got one, and now I think I would immediately combust if I don't think about it at least five times a day. No one told me this is what humanity was like.

[poreiavian]

Ah, you poor thing. [ she's pretty grateful to be in the body of a human that matches her gender at least. going from an avian to human was a challenge, but she never had to worry about a dick. ] What makes you feel like you have to check in on it? ...Can they really detach?

voice;

[momchester]

I think it's instinct. An animal thing. Plus, they need to be really sure that everyone knows how big theirs is.

[poreiavian]

That's just beyond ridiculous though! If the society was run based upon the size of a man's genitals, we would be in serious trouble.

[Voice] b/c he's awful, but not awful enough for video.

[prophesiedone]

I guess it's a sign of...masculinity? Strength? Sort of like muscles.

[poreiavian]

But you can't exercise to make it bigger. ...Right? That isn't how it works, I feel pretty sure about that.

[ humans are strange creatures. ]

voice;

[eloquentness]

I have no idea, but if you figure it out, you should share with the rest of us.

[poreiavian]

Believe me, I intend to. It feels like the type of mystery waiting to be cracked wide open and exposed. The world has to know.

[garotted]

I'm a guy sometimes and honestly I don't really get it either.

permavoice

[poreiavian]

If you, a man, don't get it, then we're all doomed. Surely there must be a rhyme and reason to all things, even this.

[bestpirate]

...I think I need more alcohol to answer this.

[A tad prudish for a pirate, isn't he? Jack is already reaching for the rum, luv.]

You're a tad too young for this little...meetin' of the minds.

[poreiavian]

You can never go wrong with a drink at hand, pirate guy. [ except, when you do, and in spectacular fashion. ] And yes I may seem young, but I assure you that is why this discussion is so important. My young mind must figure this out before my ability to make sense of the world becomes crusty and dry.

[ "i'm not actually a teenager" would be maybe an easier answer to give, but the slew of questions it opens up isn't a door she wants to open. ]

As a biologist, I am more or less qualified to discuss why this fascination exists. As a bisexual, however, I think MY specific fascination is fairly obvious.

Honestly, the historical and psychological root of it all probably stems from patriarchy and power issues, dominance, and primitive ideas of alpha males and mate selection. Nowadays, it’s largely because we want to see how we measure up to our fellow dudes.

permavoice

[poreiavian]

But wouldn't it make more sense to measure up something that is controllable? You don't get to choose how big it is, and you can't make it any bigger as people are telling me. [ an audible huff is let out, the whole thing so silly. ] In your professional opinion, how is it that humanity came to this point? The power struggle defined down to the size of genitals as a measurement of a man's worth. It's rather sad.

Welcome back to terra firma.

Sorry about all the dick talk you got subjected to.

[poreiavian]

Eh, it is what it is. I'm more curious now after the fact. I swear I don't get it and this isn't a big joke I'm trying to make.

[ it makes her feel silly for not getting it, but there's a lot about humanity she doesn't get. it's only beginning to dawn on her how her main source of information, a quaint sitcom, did not cover a lot of topics. ]

Did you watch? I assume so given your closeness to the dynamic duo. What did you think of the mess?

[ Audio ]

[ghoulking]

How did this question come up, Loma...?

[poreiavian]

Space, Kaneki. Going up to space with eight people for three weeks - it changed me as a person. And made me realize I don't always get things that should be simple.

voice

[cleptes]

You and me both, Loma. [Solidarity.] We shouldn't have had to deal with that.

[poreiavian]

What did I say week one, Bela? Only two women. I'm going to write a complaint to the producers about the imbalance. We suffered so much.

voice

[burlyboy]

I mean, you need 'em for pissing and for fucking. They're both pretty important.

[poreiavian]

Those are just its biological functions. It isn't that vital beyond those means and nothing special either. All guys have one. No variety at all.

and HAVING a dick? awesome
its that simple
not really sure what kind of answers ur looking for tbh

permavoice

[poreiavian]

Any answer honestly. You can learn a lot about a person just by how they respond to a question about genitals. And I don't have one, and I doubt I ever will have one, so I have to know what the big deal is!

So explain. How is it awesome? Elaborate.
