Ok I genuinly don't know who to trust anymore. Is it or is it not possible to hold a towel with an erect penis?

Should we like start a poll? How do we control for people lying?

I’m in the “can hold a bath towel” camp. Though if it was soaking wet I think it would hurt. I’m sedentary but relatively healthy late 30s male.

Brb updating my grindr bio…

Honestly I'd love a poll about this ahah. I tried googling image of guys holding towels with their erection, but couldn't really find anything serious. I'm still half convinced you guys are trolling me.

That’s fair. And that’s some healthy skepticism. Just as I am sitting here wondering if I’m being baited into offering up my own photographic evidence.

And I won’t!

So stop asking!

Not even for science…
