When a person has a penis that looks about the same size flaccid (soft) that it does erect, folks colloquially call that person a “shower,” because their penis shows itself to be pretty much the same as it is erect.

    The first thing I’d ask you is if you – and your boyfriend – feel too young to possibly be someone’s parent. I ask that, because one huge risk with unprotected sex is pregnancy. Statistically, in less than one year, 80-90% of people (and remember, too, teens are often far more fertile than us…
