I wouldn\'t like to transform this into methodological debate but ... well, the thing is that there is no sample because no sampling occured. There is no subset of population that should represent it and serve to infer population\'s parameters. There is no generalisation of any information from myself to any other people.
That\'s what I\'ve already pointed out in previous comments - I am very well aware that what I want is several standard deviations above objective average (like the one displayed in tables that often occur on the forum).
What I said is that this is definately not a dismorphophobia because of the lack of significant distortion of self-perception (i.e. I am aware of my objective measurements compared to tables of distribution of sizes in population and don\'t percieve it as defective), which is otherwise inherent to the construct of body dysmorphic disorder. Very atypical desires and taste with possibly \"interesting\" (from psychological point of view) causation? Definately ... but not BDD. This reasoning does not bring risk of sampling error for no inferrence is made; just a comparaison of one particular case to previously known data and theory.
Some may call it a fetish, but I don\'t think it actually is. I like the aesthetics even without the sexual subtext. Yes, there is fetish part in it, but it\'s but a part of it.
I don\'t think there are many better places than this. Or should it serve only to those suffering from impressions that their genitals are too small, too below normal? Actually, I don\'t think so. I have an impression that it\'s even for people who think they are in the realm of average or above-average, yet want to be even bigger. And that\'s also my case. Yes, I want something that is objectively extreme and even for me, I percieve it subjectively as extremely above \"normalcy\" (I mean statistical normalcy).
I don\'t think that statements about how tissue
Necrosis will kick my
Balls are very helpful to assess problems. In what different kinds of cases does this happen? How often? How to proceed to lower the risk? What signs to be wary of? That kind of additional info would be really a great educated help. For ex. the remark about adipose tissue is really great!
So, I am very grateful for your text, especially the point about keeping in mind appropriate places to discuss different aspects of the procedure, but I felt the need to clarify what I said previously and make clear that I am very well aware about the difference between my goals and objective average. I don\'t like seeing the careless and inappropriate usage of problematic labels (like BDD) with possibly profound implications on conceptualisation of the problem.
