Yes, I have conflicting memories of that conversation. I was upset with him but also found the whole thing kinda funny in my ineptitude around how I dealt with it. God, I was so young at the time. LOL.

Today, I’d say, “You have every reason to believe I love your dick. If you want to talk about feelings of insecurity around it, great, let’s do that, but I’m not going to argue about this or take responsibility for boosting your confidence.”

As I mentioned, he was very prone to demonstrate toxic masculinity — the violence of his body language and actions is something that I would not allow today. Slamming books and such. I can’t imagine being with someone like that at this point in my life.
