I swear boys are so hilariously insecure and dishonest. I know so many guys who are clearly 5'11 swear that they're 6'2. And cock size is the same. Most of the guys in this thread, were they telling the truth, are so ludicrously above the average. Guys delude themselves into thinking 6 inches is average, and that they are least 7 or above. Which is complete crap.
Longer is not automatically better. And to be honest, from what I've observes. Their concern for the size of their dick is much less about what women will think and much more about what other men will think.
Poor boys, they're so sensitive and emotional about this stuff. Guys, any girl worth seriously getting involved with won't care about your dick size unless it's massively outside the norm on either direction.
Really? If you think all guys are like this, i would suggest you're hanging (no pun intended) with the wrong fellas.
People of both genders can be irrationally hung-up on their physical attributes, especially as they relate to sex and sexual attractiveness.
Equally, some of us have a healthy amount of body acceptance and perspective when it comes to our perception of our reproductive organs and physical appearance.
I think a lot of the anxiety over genitals in some western cultures (some - namely the more puritan ones - are worse than others) is a result of the shame, taboo and censorship of the human body.
If your cultural upbringing considers genitalia to be obscene, vulgar and dirty - it makes sense that people (male and female alike) are going to develop complexes, weird attitudes and strange fixations towards their (and other people's) reproductive organs.
To use a really basic example, hollywood films are so filled with violence and murder that it is an obligatory plot device of some (if not
most) genres - but the sight of a penis on screen is somehow still "controversial" or "risqué" - comparatively uncommon, and enough to earn a film some kind of 18+ rating - as if all nudity (and therefore the human body - something the entire [human] audience of such media has in common) is somehow sexual and obscene.
Violence on the other hand is so completely normalised in film, that it has long been a staple of film and television made for children's audiences.
I'm not saying kids' shows should necessarily make a point of depicting cocks and vulva - but i sure as hell am less disturbed to see a naked person than i am to witness an act of violence. To me, human bodies are, in general
normal and
inoffensive - whereas gratuitous violence is far more distasteful.
Our media standards help instil strange values in people by having (what i consider to be) a strange set of values in terms of what is, and what isn't acceptable.
If human bodies weren't so taboo in mass media - and nowadays commodified by sexualised, pornographic representations (as opposed to realistic ones) - i think guys and girls alike wouldn't be so obsessed over things like penis length and breast size.
Also, anyone that thinks you need a huge penis to stimulate a woman's g-spot is presumably ill-informed about female anatomy
