Size matters when you're a guy

Hi,

Unreg for this...

Long story short...

I'm over 30, have had many relationships with very successful sexual experiences etc.

However, when I go training, or for a swim etc, my penis seems gets very small. It basically goes back into my body for those couple of hours.

I'm in the best relationship of my life, it's long-term, my girlfriend is happy, I'm happy and other partners in my history were happy. So, in bed, I'm not worried or stressed.

But, when I have generic showers after sports training, I notice that I'm a lot smaller than other guys. Now, if I knew that other guys are aware that it's possible for a guy to APPEAR small in a non-sexual environment, then I wouldn't be so worried. But, when I see their...tools...for want of a better word, I can't help but think that they think that I'm smaller...all the time. But I'm not.

I really amn't. It's just that when I go training or swimming or go into a public place, my penis is smaller than a lot of other guys. I've even measured it and have even taken off half an inch in my "calculations" just so I'm not deluding myself and it comes to...6 inches - when erect.

Is this small? I have plenty of girth, in my opinion, and to put it into context, my thumb length is less than half of my penis length and my thumb width is less than my penis width.

But my penis seems so small in a non-erect situation compared to other guys who I see at training or in a sauna etc.

So, is there any other guy who has a similar inferiority complex to me?

Like I said, I have had 3 long-term relationships where I know for a fact the girls in question enjoyed our sex lives. But it really gets me down the way my penis seems smaller in a public/shower setting.

One last bit of information...when I'm at home in my apartment just relaxing and lying on the couch or walking from the shower to the bedroom, my relaxed penis is bigger than after exercising or in a public shower.

But I know for a fact that it's not a psychological thing that it gets small when I'm out and exercising or swimming, I just think that my body likes to keep it tucked away safely for contact sports, cold environments and the like.

Anyone else out there that this happens to?

I think you're seriously overanalysing this.

First off, it's entirely normal for the penis to behave like that in cold water or other similar scenarios.

Secondly, the size of your penis when flaccid has very little bearing when it's erect. Some men have penises which are small when flaccid, but quite large when erect. And other men have penises which may appear large when flaccid, but don't grow much more when erect. Of course you get the odd person who is very well endowed and simply large no matter what state of arousal they're in, but put simply ................ everyone is different.

Average erect penis size is commonly quoted as around 6 inches, so it doesn't sound like you're 'small' by any means. Stop worrying!

you're not small. as a woman who knows what she wants and likes in bed, i can tell you that giving a woman that 'full' feeling comes from girth more than length. length even becomes a problem for some women.

the opinion of the men in the shower shouldn't matter, but i know what you mean. all i can say is that if they don't understand now that some men are growers and others are showers, they will figure it out eventually. try not to worry about what they think, and focus on your happy lovers instead.
