a sex anecdote AND a literary anecdote
from hemingway’s a moveable feast where hemingway dispenses advice to f. scott fitzgerald who is worried that his penis is too small (they go into a closet and examine it together).
“You’re perfectly fine,” I said. “You are O.K. There’s nothing wrong with you. You look at yourself from above and you look foreshortened. Go over to the Louvre and look at the people in the statues and then go home and look at yourself in the mirror in profile… It is not basically a question of the size in repose,” I said. “It is the size that it becomes. It is also a question of angle.”
