Insecurity about penis size (21 y/o)

35 Replies

I'm 21 years old. Since I stepped up in my college life, I noticed that I have sort of small penis compared to other men. When I go to restroom with my friends and see their penis from side I always feel that their penis is heavier than mine. I'm mainly insecure about thickness of my penis, when I tried to measure, It comes out to be 8cm while flassid and 12cm while erect. Length of my penis is 3 inches while flassid and and 5.5 inches while erect. This thing is making huge impact on my mind and when I look porn, I get into depression after seeing penises there. Due to this I feel insecurity with my girlfriend also when she makes friendship with other boys. She never had sex before with other man. Once I was watching porn with her and she wondered how big penis that man has and said that women must be enjoyed a lot. After that I'm more anxious and depressed. I am always worried about if my girl had sex with another man and she'll enjoy more and leave me. Please help me I'm in big depression. Am I normal? Is this any mental disorder? Is it obvious that we feel other penises bigger than ours? Even I'm very uncomfortable when using public washroom when men are around.

Hi there. Your penis is an average size. Don’t compare it to penises in porn - very few guys have penises that big. You are normal.

5.5 inches is bigger than average. Some women may think it is small, because of porn, personal preference, the massive number of lies they have been told by guys such that they think what is actually 4.5" is 6" since guys with an actual 6" told them it was 8", etc., and/or their limited past experiences.

There is no correlation between size and good sex. Know how to use whatever you have: control your ejaculation and get good erection 😊. You can go to lookuptothebest.net/go/edc ❤️ and get some magic help for that (with promocode: GET10). So! It's not about the size, but how you use it.

Man you should really be happy with what you have. Looking at porn is a shoot in the foot, they always have big cocks because it's porn. Period. Besides, is your girlfriend with you just for the sex? I don't think so.

My point is, you should be happy that you have a working little friend. There are many guys here who have complications post circumcision OP, and I think that's way worse than having a smaller penis size.

All the best mate.

Do not worry, size is not important to this degree, the important thing is how to satisfy your girlfriend with foreplay, but as for what you see in porn movies, who makes it, he chooses men who have certain characteristics, including a large penis and the majority of men have medium-sized penises, do not be depressed and enjoy your life the most important thing is honesty and love With your girlfriend .

I really wouldn't worry buddy. You have a normal size cock and bet it works as well as others.

When your in the locker rooms or washrooms, have you ever looked at men's feet and thought "why are their feet bigger than mine? Why aren't my feet that big? Does my GF think I have small feet??" NO... Nobody ever does, its because of porn that guys get hung up on cock size.

My younger brother has a bigger cock than me both flaccid and erect and I never wish mine was that big or worry I'm smaller. And YES I have bigger feet 🤣

Your body is what you have, love it, enjoy it, appreciate it.

Very sensible advice.

Ahh man, please don’t stress about it it’s a totally normal size, remember when you look down at yours it’s a totally different perspective, when you glance to the side your getting that view.... for example if you draw a 6 on the floor and you and a pal stood at the top and the bottom you will see 6 and he would see 9, it’s all about perspective... the porn industry select their actors based on their above average size and performance and it’s by no means an average view

I gloss you are mr average 5.5 same as me and I have never had any complaints and mines 60 year old now and still going strong and its not the size it how you use it keep safe

5.5 is actually the normal size for most so don't worry. Actually all women are different and some don't want a penis that is too large. Most of them enjoy the average side. If i were you i would be more so thinking about speaking with whichever woman you are with during sex and finding out what exactly she likes as far as positions and pleasures. It doesn't take a large penis to give a woman an orgasm. As they say it's not about the size it's how you use it. I have found that to be very true in my experiences with women. Some like my size, some say it is too big but i am only average and some are looking for other things but don't worry. Your size is well sought out by women.

Good advice.

WOW! Your bigger than me.

don't worry mate.

just like you, women also have their own sizes.

if you ever find a spouse for life, penis size will be the least issue to worry about. you'll mainly deal with personality compatibility and other issues.

but if you are talking about one night stand or casual sexual pleasure with strangers, then yes size does matter because the mindset of "big is better" is real out there, you just have to find someone who doesn't care about sizes.

I’m not sure a penis traction device is safe. What’s your experience?

Though it’s not true in every situation, in marriage sexual function frequently has to be something that is worked on over time. Your wife’s sexual satisfaction is not based solely on you. And your own sexual satisfaction is not based 100% on her. Each person brings something into sexual play and intercourse. I love large breast but if I dated a girl with 32 inch chest measurement and fell in love with her and married her, I would obviously have known what’s most important and married her because of the love and acceptance of who she is. Hopefully your dating practices allow for some exploration and a girl can get to know your penis before the relationship goes too far. Anyhow, besides all that, most of those guys here who say a 5.5 inch dick can give all the satisfaction a girl needs are correct. Besides, in truth, you aren’t totally responsible for your partner’s orgasm.

You are average size. Try to be confident in what you have. Most guys don't have porn size penises.

Ask yourself this question? When you look at a woman, do you say to yourself she has big breasts, I would rather be with her or do you just admire them and move on? There is a BIG difference between what we like to look at and what we really think.

I’m just over 5” fully erect, which is apparently the average size for a penis. I like to think of the positives of being average rather than pornstar. It’s easy to use, there’s no gagging, harder erections as you don’t use as much blood filling it up and you only need one hand to tug it off!

Flaccid size is no indication of erect size.

My own grows from 2-3" all the way up to 8 1/2" on a good day.

Checking out the locker room won't give you any idea the of erect size of your friends.

Also Porn gives a bad impression. I was born in the 60's and we barely had TV, never mind porn. When the internet came along and I could compare my erect penis wth that of other guys I thought I was a little below average. Remember that I'm 8.5 inches (21.5cm)

Porn gives a totally false expectation of reality.

Your girlfriend isn't with you only for sex. I can;t guarantee it, however, think that it's highly likely that sex is her sole reason for being with you.

Being worried that she might find another lover is a valid concern. I have had that concern myself at times. Worrying that she'll try a larger penis and dump you is less than likely.

Try not to be jealous of friendships with other boys. I'll wager money that she's not out looking for a replacement for you because you're not big enough.

I suggest that you have a chat with her about your concerns. My bet is that she will put your mind at ease.

Try and relax and take things in your stride. Enjoy the life, the body, the girlfriend that you have right now and let tomorrow take its own course

Size doesn’t matter at all pal! As long as your happy with how your penis looks and you enjoy sex who cares. 5.5 inches is within average and sure there’s people with a bigger one, and some with a smaller one. Don’t worry about your size and don’t let it get to you, hopefully it will wear off as you get older.

Penis size is a fleeting thing when it comes to sex, much as any other physical attribute would be. As others have said, breast size is a good example - I love large breasts and have had great times with women that have them (including my wife who is a 32F). However, I’ve also had great relationships and great sex with women with smaller breasts. It’s just different, not better or worse. The same goes for penis size - I’m a very average 6 inches. My wife has had sex with guys with much larger penises and while she enjoyed the sensation of feeling ‘full’, it wasn’t what ultimately satisfied her. As with many women, she’s much more clitoral driven than penetration driven. We have great sex and she will always have orgasms - often more than one. The size of my penis isn’t really a contributing factor to that.

There are also downsides to having a larger than average penis. Larger ones can be uncomfortable for a woman, especially if she finds herself being ‘bottomed out’ against the cervix. And some women enjoy anal sex which can be equally uncomfortable with a larger penis. My wife claims that mine is perfect for this purpose (she may be stringing me a line of course 😁). Same goes for oral sex.

I have friends with larger penises (including one who is very big at around 9.5 inches) and they claim that it can be very uncomfortable doing things like sport or even just walking any distance. On occasion they have even been declined sex due to their size.

I think if you got into conversation about penis size with a few different women, most would admit that average is probably better all round, even if an occasional large one is a fascination.

Waw chief its as if you are describing me. Me and you we are alike. The issue for me is more of the flaccid state. when I'm hard it's normal. Your 12cm is normal when hard. I hide mine from my GF when its flaccid, I feel ashamed about it, It's difficult to accept it 100% I don't even take shower at the gym just because of that. It looks like a 10yr old 🙈🤣

Funny thing I've circumcised it twice but still glan not fully exposed lol Dr doesn't understand my anatomy young guy.

I have the same feelings as you and also measure the same erect size as you

Bro, I was insecure about my size too. Google Micro Penis and be very, very thankful you're normal!

I can’t stress enough that it isn’t about the size, it’s about HOW YOU USE IT. And when you are in a relationship, there is so much more to sex than the physical, your penis size is just a part in a much bigger picture, so don’t worry! And plus, 5.5’ is average! That’s a good size!

Don't look at other men's penises. For one thing you are looking at theirs straight on, and yours downwards. Another thing is that flaccid penises vary in size more than erect penises do. Anyway penises work the same way whatever the erect size.

Don't look at porn. Those people have been chosen for their assets, and their greater visibility. A man with a typical sized erect penis would not be all that visible during coitus nor would the woman's private parts. So less erotically stimulating.

Just be happy you have a penis that works.
