Bob Merski encourages “Cock Talk” with young boys

State Rep. Bob Merski wants to talk to boys

At 11:06 am on January 17, 2011 Bob Merski wrote “If it [penis enlargement] is being told to your child through your own insecurity then it is wrong to push it on them. I don’t think it should be forced. As long as the general knowledge is there with the benefits he’ll make his own decision. If they don’t want to do it, fine. I just feel that exposing them to the knowledge that it exists, their old man does it, and it works is a good thing. My dad got me into lifting at 13 and I’ve been doing it since (though sometimes inconsistently). He didn’t tell me I was scrawny and needed to lift. He just introduced it to me and asked if I wanted to lift with him and my uncle. While I certainly don’t think fathers and sons should PE [penis enlargement] together, I don’t think introducing PE to him in this way would be traumatic. A little awkward, maybe, but any initial “cock talk” usually is.

Bob was 35 years old when he wrote this, was teaching in Erie’s Public School district, and at the time was also running for Erie City Council.
