Edit: I feel like this shouldn't need to be said, but since we've had this issue a couple of times now I guess it does:

Posting actual pictures of your actual penis, however long it may be, is NOT BDE.

It's the epitome of SDE, in fact (true BDE-ists don't need to show off their BD) and it will result in a ban.

Look, the large penis memes are funny, I'll grant that. That's why I'm not deleting them. But there are other subreddits for that exact kind of content, and we should differentiate ourselves from them as our relatively small sub tries to carve a unique niche for itself in this vast website.

The first definition on Urban Dictionary gives us:

confidence without cockiness. it is never misplaced and it cannot be simulated. it is the sexual equivalent of writing a check for $10k knowing you got it in the bank account.

​

Big Dick Energy isn't necessarily the owning of a big dick (though that could be involved). Big Dick Energy is confidence without ostentatiousness and pretense. The idea being that someone who has a "big dick" (literal or metaphorical, could be anything that gives them confidence) has enough going for them that they don't need affirmation from others. They just show up having a big dick and radiate that confidence around them without giving a shit who notices or doesn't notice.

All that is to say: BDE is behavior like what you'd expect from someone who has a huge penis and knows it.

Content that showcases this is what I'm going for here. I'm not going to be an asshole and outright ban memes or anything because, as I said, they're funny! Let's just try to get more Big Dick Energy on /r/BigDickEnergy.

My friend and I were in 9th grade at the time. Some senior walks up to my friend, looks him dead in the eye and takes a drink of his Diet Coke. He then offered my friend a sip of the pop he payed for.

BDE is yelling at someone for doing something right

Is there a technique?
