It's the size it becomes.

About that time F. Scott Fitzgerald was insecure about his dick.

F. Scott Fitzgerald was married to a woman named Zelda Sayre.

They were a power couple during the Roaring Twenties, known throughout Europe for their larger-than-life personalities and lavish parties.

However, their relationship was riddled with infidelity, jealousy, alcoholism, mental illness, manipulation—gaslighting, stonewalling, bread-crumbing, etc—and a never-ending flurry of knock-down, drag-out fights.

During one of their bouts, Zelda hit Fitzgerald below the belt.

Zelda said he had a small penis.

Fitzgerald confided in his friend, Ernest Hemingway.

No. I’m not making this up.

In A Moveable Feast, Hemingway writes of the encounter in great detail.
