Ok...well I have two teen boys aged 15 and 13. Theyre TERRIFIC kids and while they're very different in personality, theyre both sweethearts. Recently my oldest came to me and it almost broke my heart...he seemed very embarrassed and asked me why his younger brother's penis was so much larger than his! How do you RESPOND to that? My ex husband and I noticed this when they were little and the difference has definitely been maintained as they got older. I don't know how to say this nicely but, they are NIGHT AND DAY in that area. We we just hoping they wouldnt notice but, so much for that now.
Anyhow, any thoughts on what I should say to him? Has anyone else noticed this with their boys? Any advice is appreciated.

I've seen this post around Ivillage several times - I think it was on my Boys board last.
