Bigger penis.

Since I've admitted this before.....my dick plays turtle unless I have an erection. It's no fun being 'dickless.' As far as my size when erect, read all of my posts in this thread and other threads here if any of y'all are that interested . Which I hope no one is.

With that said, back when I was younger & runnning and working out regularily, my lack of an obvious bulge didn't stop women who knew I was married from hitting on me. What they're reaction to my 'size' would have been is unknown.

 

atleaset i know im not the only one with a turtle

 

Even though I'm aware that penis size isn't that important to most women, and a guys 'bulge' when dressed doesn't play a large (pun) role in their choices when considering a partner, it's still disconcerting to be 'dickless' unless aroused.

 

I've only seen Ghostbusters from start to finish once--didn't think it was that good of a movie--and remember that scene.

 

Well even in swinging, its pretty rare that guys are just "hanging out". We have gone on swinger vacations which include nude beaches and even there about 1/2 to 2/3rds of the men won't go nude. Hell years ago at a regular nude beach my wife said to me when I shrunk up how "she didn't want women thinking I had a small penis" (I think I mentioned that somewhere in this thread).

So really its a rare day in most lives that being a grower or shower matter. Honestly I think for most men its a locker room thing more than anything else.

 

Yes, sometimes the insecure young teenager never completely matures.

 

The changes in condom girth may be less to do with local surveys, and more to do with global standards. In order to pass muster as a medical device (rather than a fun novelty), condoms need to satisfy international standards (ISO 4074) which dictate not old how big they can be but how they have to be tested.

The condom industry is far less interested in length that you'd think - because most condoms are actually longer than most penises - the fact that they roll on means that the "spare" just stays rolled up.

Girth matters a hell of a lot, however, as condoms that are too baggy or too tight will be much more likely to fall off - buying "bull sized monster cock" condoms is actually bloody stupid, unless you have a cock like a baby's arm holding an apple.

Sales patterns around the world, and around the UK demonstrate that "standard" condoms are the median seller everywhere except asia and asian majority heritage areas - that's southeast asia, and indian subcontinent.

African and European heritage areas both take about the same 80/20 split between "standard" and "large".

 

Incidentally, I've been thinking about this, and I've decided that, from now on, I'm going to actively object to size shaming when I see or hear it. I've already started.

It's perfectly okay to prefer one size over another. But there's no excuse to be nasty about small-endowed men in general.

In particular, I detest the fake-Freud insults: any bad-behaving guy "probably has a very small penis."

It's utter horseshit, it inflicts pain on random people, and if you post something like that, I'm going to call you on it.

 

I agree with you, and I don't know if there is any correlation between size and guys trying to over compensate. I DO know I never want to be pulled over by a short cop, but thats a related yet different issue.

Still don't hate me for this...

 

I've noticed that Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (SMBC) addresses (exploits?) this issue quite often.

Three of them have already been posted in this item.

But there's more!

 

A guy on a music forum posted something like this (parapharased):

I don't worry about my beer gut. I just tell the women that when I get an erection it moves to my penis; I'm finished by the time they figure out I lied.

 

Personally my thought is if you can give the woman an orgasm PRIOR to the whole insertion thing, then penis size, length of sex, etc, is far less of a issue.

 

When Shakespeare said, "Sweet are the uses of adversity ..." he was talking about my wiener.
Brilliant.

 

Your honesty is appreciated.

As I previously posted.....back when the TFP was really active quite a few guys posted images of their penises. The guys with larger penises received the gratest number & more enthusiatic responses from the TFP ladies. The guys who were average or smaller were lucky to receive a couple of obligatory "Thanks for posting" comments.

 

Size doesn't matter, unless you're small.

If you're way over on the left side of the bell curve, like me, in the bottom 10% or 20%, it might limit your casual sex activities. And the more women who see you naked, the more likely you are to have a memorable penis-based rejection experience to stew over and crush your confidence. After all, it's human nature to take insults to heart and disregard praise.

Fortunately, the casual sex scene is not the only place to find a life partner. And for those purposes, ALL of your qualities count; your penis (or any other major or minor liability you happen to have) becomes just one of a great many considerations.
