Men do obsess about their physique and bodily appearance probably as much as women do. We are just built in a totally different way to our female counterparts in that we try to push those feelings far deeper within and try as much as possible to appear unfazed by our bodily 'shortcomings'.
However, the most concerning body structure in men is their manhood, thank the heavens that it's private! The size of their equipment tends to boggle every man's psyche as they are constantly thinking about how they measure up to the average size.
When it comes to size and aesthetics, it’s a rare guy who wants an honest assessment of his anatomy.
In spite of all the reassurances from various quarters, such as male magazines, urologists, sex therapists, girlfriends and wives alike; that it’s not the size of the boat but how they captain it that matters, lots of men still can't seem to shake off the desire to know if they really measure up to the ladies appetites size-wise.
Listed are some of the universal truths and myths being peddled around with regard to penis size:
1. Bigger is better
To an extent this might be true after all, a woman needs someone who can fill her up real good. However, your technique, skill and experience does matter a lot when it comes to pleasuring your woman.
Most women tend to appreciate the sight of big members however, the reality of vaulting that huge pole on several occasions could be overwhelming for most.
2. A big member ensures orgasm
Huge members tend to overwork your vaginal muscles and might end up rendering your orgasmic contractions far less powerful than they actually should be. Furthermore, too much friction might also chafe your cookie jar- this soreness might even end up affecting your sex mood.
3. Bigger is far more satisfying
This couldn't be further from the truth. In actuality handling a huge member could really demand a lot physically from the lady ( depending on the woman's appetites and abilities of course).
Some women tend to overreach themselves and therefore become reluctant on having another go due to a scary experience on first trial.
4. There's no hope for the size-challenged
This is actually not true. Though it might only work temporarily, the use of rings and penis pumps can add some girth for guys with smaller members.
Women on the other hand can help out by committing to Kegel exercises with an aim of tightening their vaginal walls and having more control over the vaginal muscles so as to compensate for the man's meagre stature.
5. Penis panic is real
This is the fear of having a small member as compared to the rest of the male pool. The imagination that one’s genital is smaller than normal drives men crazy, hence the analogy. However, it can also refer to the shock that a woman may experience at the reveal of a huge member just before intercourse.
6. Enlargement treatments should be avoided
Naturally, penis growth starts in the womb and continues to puberty. Hormonal problems tend to be the main cause of abnormal penis growth.
This therefore implies that only the early detection of an abnormal growth in penis size can be corrected by ironing out the hormone problems. This window for hormone treatment only extends till puberty. After this stage no treatment can change the penis size.
7. Does size really matter?
Generally, size doesn't matter at all when it comes to sexual satisfaction. There are two reasons why many people tend to think that it does.
Firstly, the conclusions being drawn from the widely accessible pornographic content tends to drill mindsets into this fallacious perception. Secondly, women who do not understand the perfect workings of their own bodies tend to fancy bigger members as it embodies the image of 'being filled up completely'.
8. How large is large enough?
According to various studies and universal perception on the length of the average penis size, it has been found to range between 5.6 inches to around 6.3 inches.
The girth should also average about 12 centimetres in circumference. It is common knowledge, however, that larger penises maybe more attractive to the ladies because they cover more ground- who wouldn't want that?
