Even in this supposedly enlightened century, men fret about penis size. Though the vast majority of guys have more than enough bulk to perform well as lovers, there is a widespread masculine obsession that ‘more would be better’.
To the average man, his penis is, consciously or unconsciously, one of the most important things in the whole world. At an early age he discovers it and immediately becomes fascinated by it.
The average figure is about 9.5cm (3.75 inches), but this kind of precise measurement is rather valueless. Many factors can cause a temporary shrinkage of two inches or more, for instance cold weather or going swimming, so you needn’t worry if you happen to fall short of the average figure.
Of course, it’s true that some men have big penises and some have smaller ones, just as some men have small feet and some have big feet, but the measurement is not – repeat not – an index of virility.
Most people think that a tall man will usually have a large penis, but this is not entirely true. The distinguished American researchers Masters and Johnson measured the penile lengths of more than 300 men.
The largest organ was 14 cm (5.5 inches) in the flaccid state. It belonged to a slim man who was 5′ 7″ tall (170 cm).
The smallest penis measured 6cm (2.25 inches). It belonged to a fairly heavily built man of 5′ 11″ (180cm).
But then a note of uncertainty enters his mind: ‘Isn’t mine rather small?’ Look at Dad’s, look at big brother’s, look at those in the men’s changing room – and he asks himself if he will be as big as that.
There isn’t a man alive today who hasn’t wondered how his penis matches up to those of other men. It’s equally true that most men would like a bigger penis.
In study after study, it’s been shown that when a man is asked how big his penis is, he tends to exaggerate its size. Men then look at these studies and then think that they don’t measure up in the manhood department.
Men also watch a lot of porn and it gives them a chance to see how they compare to the screen studs. Once again it can leave some men feeling a little inadequate.
Male porn stars certainly appear to have big penises. No doubt some do, but the vast majority of porn actors are not especially well endowed. What you have to remember is that camera angles, lighting, and other tricks of the film trade are used to make the most of the actors’ assets. You’ll also find penis pumps in common use on porn sets.
