Again, we can create carve-outs for each and every possible exception- but once we’re done with that, we still have the majority that live in the bell of the curve- and that’s who I’m looking to.
Although I’d dispute that there are more important priorities than anything health related for children and adolescents.
The health and fitness habits we acquire before age 20-25 become our default patterns [barring ‘exceptional’ circumstance]. While 15 may seem young to be concerned with creating patterns that may help your son avoid ED at 50, as a society we at least pay lip service to creating health and fitness habits that may help that 15 year old avoid cardio-vascular disease at 50. [Of course we can see how well that’s working out for US]
Is it really that different? I maintain not and will continue to do so.
Personally I haven’t really been focusing on PE for size myself since I broke that 7.5 BPEL mark- while I still plan on restarting hanging in the near future, at the moment it’s all about pure dick health-

This is a great observation: to tell someone he “may” need to do exercises “if” he thinks he's too small. It is a loaded proposition, and in light of the bombardment of Enzyte commercials and the like, it would just reinforce that stuff and foster a sense of inadequacy.
Let people come to this stuff when they need to. Don’t project it on to them.
To suggest to anyone out of the blue that they need to PE is absurd- never mind to suggest it to one’s own adolescent son.
But, should that son ask about those ubiquitous Enzyte ads- that would present an opportunity to discuss general penile health in an age appropriate manner.
Personally I have mentioned TP to more than one friend, couched specifically as a health practice- which I genuinely believe it to be.
If anyone cares, the conversation usually kicks off regarding kegels.
