I now unfortunately have lost some of that confidence.
A while back I was dating a girl who I was intimate with. After one such of these intimate episodes while she was just playing around with my penis, she discovered the little bumps on the rim of my penis head. She wanted to know if they were to do with an STD or genital warts or something along those lines. I was quite taken a back to hear her say this, because I thought all penises had them. I explained this to her and she said that they were weird, but was relieved it wasn't an STD.
We've since split (for different reasons), and I haven't had any girl talk to me about them since. But I did a little research and found out that they were called "pearly penile papules". A completely benign condition, that appears on anywhere between 8-48% of penises (statistics are sketchy) and is treatable if the man so desires. If you would like to see an example look up pearly penile papules at your own risk (NSFW obviously).
My question is whether or not I should consider removal. This ex seemed quite overt to them, and I want to know if other girls would feel that way, or if the ex was just being a proverbial B****. I would like honest opinions of; if you were in a situation with a member like this, would you be made uncomfortable by it, be it the thought of it, or just aesthetic unpleasantness?
Please no "just be happy with yourself", and "whoever you're with should love you for who you are" answers. They sound good on day time television, but lack any sustenance in real life.
Thanks in advance. Merry Christmas.
