What is with men’s obsession with their penises?
I admit, it is a fascinating organ, but are you guys still fretting over how big you are?
Researchers suggest the overwhelming concern for a large penis has resulted from the porn industry, with 37 percent of men claiming it began after watching erotica. Thank you, Ron Jeremy.
Now we’ve got a slew of self-conscious dudes having a meltdown every time someone jokes about them having a small one.
That may be a little extreme. Honestly, no one cares how big your penis is as long as it works. That’s not to say there aren’t women out there who do make it a point of interest. That would be like saying there are no men who dislike a girl based solely on small breast size.
I suppose, in a way, being insecure about a seemingly small penis is comparable to the insecurities many women with flatter chests possess. However, everyone can’t see when a guy is less than average, unless he has an issue with wearing pants.
Honestly, from a woman’s standpoint, length is almost insignificant. A vagina is, on average, 3-4 inches deep. Don’t get down if you don’t measure up, ladies. Seriously though, unless you have a micropenis, there is no need to worry about fulfilling sexual activities.
The bigger issue here is being too long for a woman. Now I’ve offended the big guys. Not to worry.
The vagina, when aroused, stretches to accommodate whatever’s inside, so extra foreplay may be beneficial for you so-called lucky ones. If the woman is not aroused enough, the cervix may take a beating, which can be very painful. Certain positions may be better for the longer fellows.
Penis length is not nearly as significant in sexual satisfaction as girth. Since the upper two-thirds of the vagina is free of nerve-endings, it doesn’t necessarily matter how deep it is penetrated.
According to a study by Russell Eisenman, 90 percent of the women surveyed reported width being more considerable for pleasure.
This makes sense, as the powerhouse of female sexual pleasure is located outside and in the lower one-third of the vagina. The more area covered, the more nerve endings contacted, and more pleasure will be achieved.
It’s silly that these concerns are still being addressed. I’ve read the same responses in countless popular magazines since I was 13, yet guys are still fixated on this issue. It simply doesn’t matter. Unless you have a serious problem — a penis less than two inches long or eight inches around — quit whining.
Confidence and character are better indications of how satisfying someone is. If you’re too concerned about how you look, whether it’s your face or your junk, your performance is going to reflect that. If you’ve just always been self-conscious about your privates and simply cannot get over it, seek some therapy.
No one worth judging you is going to care what it looks like or what size it is. They’re all just as ugly or just as beautiful — whatever your taste. As long as it works, that’s all that really matters, right?
