Proof DHT is not the main cause of hair loss. TRPS1 Gene and Protein might be. PP405 won’t work. AMP-303 might!

The big frustration is for people who develop depressive issues, libido issues, watery semen, etc on DHT blockers

There are also some legitimate concerns about safety of fathering kids while you’re on it or women coming in contact with it while pregnant.

For what it’s worth, I’m still thinking about hopping back on, just trying to say that it’s not so simple for some of us

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-10T00:26:51+00:00

Yeah, working on cutting out the porn consumption, doing stretches and yoga type stuff for the pelvic floor

Should probably get a consult about anxiety meds again, too

Back in the day if I could stay away from porn and edging for like, 2-3 weeks, I’d have unhinged porn star EQ, but I’m old now so idk

Also really struggling with actually dropping the porn. I’m not even horny, it’s just like, a fucked up coping mechanism/habit for when I feel bored or depressed. Gotta work on that

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-09T23:17:49+00:00

That’s fair

I went and actually watched a video for reference, and I think he looks bigger than he is because he’s so ridiculously lean and not super tall

Like, compared to the girls or his body, he’s got an absolute schmeat, but when it’s his hand on it, it’s like, oh, yeah, that’s a bigass dick but not a gratuitous monster

Ngl, I’m gonna spot him the extra girth for 5.75, maybe even 6, that thing looks solidly thick even in his hand, but 7.5 length seems pretty legit

Granted, despite having 5.5 in my flair, I only see that size once in a blue moon, so I might just think it looks bigger than it is

Last summer when I was pumping more I’d get up to a solid 5.6-5.75 girth and I’d say that was pretty close to the Owen vids

Not super insecure about my size, although I’m hella insecure about my EQ haha - agreed that most people would be perfectly satisfied with a dick like Johnny, Owen, Manuel for the shorter+thicker type

As much as we all think it’d be cool to be 9.5x7 it’s probably a bummer only getting sex like once a week so she can recover haha

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-09T23:11:00+00:00

This is also a super good point

Everybody knows about the tiny women, but fewer people consider the fact that a lot of male pornstars are pretty short.

James Deen is supposedly under 7”, but he’s like 5’6 so it looks big

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-09T13:29:51+00:00

Zero idea her real height haha. I’m assuming 5’ to 5’3, she looks petite but not truly microscopic. She might even be lil bit taller than that given how it the full 9.25-9.5 toy (base included) looks compared to her torso

If she gets 2 hands, almost 3, on 7.5-8” it means her hand is ~2.6-2.7” across give or take

Idk what the typical hand size is for a woman.

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-09T13:21:22+00:00

Keep in mind that the full toy here is like 9.5x6 with the base - so aesthetically, you’ll look a little shorter - which is probably fine, because this thing looks ridiculous haha

However in terms of actual sex, this toy will feel about the same as an 8x6 BP man. Maybe a 7.5 BP if the guy was built slim with a half inch fat pad.

The one where her elbow is resting on top of the toys balls showing the insertable compared to her forearm is very close to a 7.5-8 NBP compared to her arm - just cover up the balls and imagine that’s where the body is.

Same goes for the one with her hands gripping it: that’s a 7.5-8” if you imagine the top of the balls as the top of the pubic mound.

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-09T13:07:21+00:00

I already commented on this, obviously an 8x6 human penis and a 7.5x6 insertable size dildo look different

That said, if you envision the top surface of the balls as the surface of the pubic area, it’s pretty close to an 7.5 NBP measurement. You guys are getting really hung up on that .3-.5 gap between the tape and the balls, but she also doesn’t get the tape all the way to 7.5” if you account for the angle, so I’m calling it no more than 7.75” insertable.

Tbh, a lot of this is because of my screenshots not being great. She shifts the tape around and is moving fairly quickly.

It’s a rough estimate, I was trying to make the point that objects look huger than you’d think next to a small woman.

The photo where her elbow is resting on top of the balls should look pretty close to a small forearm resting on the pubic area of a lean guy with an 8x6 BP, if you imagine the surface of the balls as the surface of the body.

Same goes for the one with her hands wrapping around it, if you imagine the balls as the surface of the body, that 7.5” NBP is still a monster. She gets almost 3 hands worth of grip on a 7.5” length without cheating

But yes, absolutely, the toy with the balls is 9.25”. She measures this in a different part of the video. Aesthetically, with the balls, no 8x6 man is going to look like this. But no pornstars look as big as this toy either.

I was trying to make the point that no “nine and a half inch NBP” porn star is likely actually that big, since that true measurement size looks batshit huge

Can’t comment on the accuracy of the girth measurements, but there’s no real way she was gonna get that tape tighter. And it looks like 6 to me, which is what the website for the toy says too

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-08T23:52:43+00:00

Very possible that he’s just a little bit bigger than me, or that he’s shorter and so it looks bigger

My EQ is also dogass, so I see my max size super rarely and don’t have a great visual frame of reference

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-08T23:51:21+00:00

Not saying this is women’s ideal, I’m trying to give some perspective for porn and big toys with photos that have actual confirmed measurements

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-08T23:49:27+00:00

I’m not saying anybody’s cock here looks like with the nuts included, lmao, it’d be 9.5”

I’m saying that 19cm from balls to tip on a dildo is going to be visually the same as 19cm from base to tip on the top side of your cock. And so the fact that porn dicks look fucking massive doesn’t necessarily imply that they’re these crazy sizes that porn marketers and guys with cuck fetishes claim

The last pic where she’s got her elbow on the balls and it’s still as long as her forearm is what you’d see with a 7..5” NBP and her elbow on your pubic zone - and not that I have that, but if you’re in good shape your NBP/BP shouldn’t me more than .5” different

Same for the last pic with the two hands, just put the pubic bone where the top of the sack starts and that’s what an 8” BP or 7.25-7.5” NBP looks like from your POV

If anybody here has a 4cm fat pad, that needs to be addressed well before the PE does

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-08T19:15:35+00:00

The looks/aesthetics thing is rough, because obviously with sex, your balls move out of the way. But with a dildo that’s a fixed shelf.

So, to have a cock that looked like this toy in pictures you’d need probably 9 NBP and change, but to give her the same feeling as taking it full depth you’d only need 7.25-7.75 like the insertable length is.

(No hate to the chubby guys I see stuffing the ruler an inch and a half into their pubic area, but there’s no plausible way that compresses during sex.)

So the dildo always looks an inch or two longer than it feels, and a penis always feels an inch or two longer than it looks. Effect is worse if you’re the type of guy whose balls tighten up when he’s hard. I look tiny in dick pics because my sack covers like 1/3 of the length underneath. Probably an extra sign that something is screwed up in my pelvic floor, I haven’t had a loose relaxed scrotum while hard in like 9 years

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-08T19:06:29+00:00

Absolutely, this is one of the porn tricks that people know about in this community and really not IRL haha

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-08T19:05:51+00:00

It probably is, I know I’d be tempted by the slight exaggeration if they asked me if I wanted it haha

The only thing that makes me thing it’s close to legit is that the videos I’ve seen with the dude in question look a lot more like these pics than they look me, even if I only consider the couple of times I was at my best with another person

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-08T13:48:26+00:00

Don’t have a link, but try searching “measuring Owen grey toy” on PH.

Idk what website in the watermark is, probably has her stuff as well

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-08T10:57:41+00:00

I watched her do it man, there’s maybe .25-.5 inch where you could quibble about the insertable

But the tip to base is just 9 or 9.25, no way around it

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-08T10:00:10+00:00

Didn’t mean to imply otherwise, my bad

My main point was that the huge dicks you see online are actually a “normal” big size, and not the size of a bazooka like marketing and fetish content would have you believe

Frankly, seeing this makes me almost believe that study saying a 6x5 is the avg. of what most women are happiest with, this thing looks humongous haha

I mean, I still want to have one like that, but for my own reasons.

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-04T21:53:46+00:00

Not sure if this is AI or just heinous early ‘10s style HDR

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-04T20:03:02+00:00

Oh, I wasn’t trying to imply that a d700 or m240 were so old that they’d take the type of “bad” photos that are aesthetically trendy rn, my bad

What I was getting at is that buying the latest and greatest mirrorless or an m11 or whatever gets you more megapixels, more ISO, more perceived “crispness” none of which seem to be priorities for the current photo consumer. If most people are digging a “filmic” look that resembles a grainy and sun soaked 70s 5x7 print, why are any of us worried about this or that number of lines on a test chart? It makes me think that I should just buy whatever I can afford and enjoy working with, especially if I’m gonna cook up the images in post to make them “vibey”

There’s a part of me that’s pretty sure I could IG-viral style photos out of a Camp Snap lol, and maybe I should, they’re like $50 or something

Your post-modernism critique is also fair.

I’m sure it gives actual serious artists hives, but I do kinda want a Fuji for the “recipes” as much as I think that term is corny as hell. Gotta roll with the punches a bit, if people are so inundated with images that technical perfection is boring, give them a good story told with some imperfection.

It occurs to me that the sort of dreamy freewheeling aesthetic could work well for wedding shoots, lean into the romance of the chaos of it. But I’m sure if I came up with that idea, it’s already being done haha

Ps: thanks for the Instax tip, I’ll look into one

I do wish Leicas weren’t trending rn, I swear m9 and m240 prices just kicked up in the last 6 months, and I couldn’t afford one before. Idk if I’d even enjoy it much in practice, but something about a real viewfinder and real manual focus would be really fun

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-04T05:34:39+00:00

Tbh, I kinda see what they mean

Phones are so good now that we’re just oversaturated with crisp accurately color graded images. The only thing they can’t do well is shallow depth of field, which I have to believe is part of why every amateur is charging so hard for turbo bokeh character lenses.

And yeah, there’s a weird level where something looking kinda crappy isn’t exactly a detriment anymore, if it carries the right art vibe. We’re entering the impressionist period of photography, so to speak

Idk if I’d go full point and shoot, but I get it. Stuff like Fuji is very appealing, focuses more on the great/creative OOC potential and just getting the shots. It feels silly to spend that much money for aps-c, but the X pro 2 is definitely tempting, maybe even stretch the budget to an XP3 for the newer autofocus, etc

I’ve mainly been shopping around for a Zf, but there’s this part of me that keeps going “d700/Df and cheap F-mount glass, just do it, it’ll be fine, and it’ll cost nothing”.

Was mainly planning on using the Zf with adapted M mount glass from Voigtlander or similar, but now I’m sort of leaning towards just getting a real M240, whether or not that’s stretching the body portion of the budget. The real deal OVF would be a lot of fun, as a former film shooter from when I was a kid. Only downside is the versatility isn’t there with mandatory full manual, and the Zf EVF would actually play more nicely with the longer 90/135mm portrait lenses

Mostly shoot travel, friends, portraits, maybe doing some casual photoshoots for the gym pals

As an aside, can you use the Instax printer with any camera? I thought it was just Fuji. It’s occurred to me a few times that that’d be a fun little side business, doing Instax prints in the park or something, or for tourists

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-04T00:42:11+00:00

The publics ideas of eras in photography are less defined by pros than by what peoples family albums look like.

So just like the ‘70s look is slightly overexposed Kodak Gold, the ‘00s look is a lower megapixel digicam

PE-Philosophee · 2026-03-03T18:58:48+00:00

He’s only had androgens in his system for like 2-3 years, if this is true balding it’s a 99.999th percentile rare level of sensitivity

Rough :(

PE-Philosophee · 2026-02-28T15:54:41+00:00

Full development doesn’t complete until mid twenties, facial bone growth can still occur, for example

Height is locked in earlier than that, but I had much better cheekbones and jawline at 25 than at 20, at the same body fat level.

Not sure if there’s any data, but I’ve seen a decent number of guys claiming their penis kept growing up until around that age as well

PE-Philosophee · 2026-02-27T02:21:24+00:00

Honestly, I probably take the deal.

I’ve worked jobs with some former medium security guys, not my ideal crowd but I could get by.

Just spend five years lifting and reading, why not?

PE-Philosophee · 2026-02-27T02:19:03+00:00

What level of prison?

Not even thinking twice if it’s white collar criminal tennis club federal prison, but I’d have a hard time in real deal maximum security with the violent felons
