    Is this it? I'm nearly 21 and my penis has been the same size for the past 3 years or so. So is this it then? Can I expect to see it get any bigger in the next few years? Im a bit flabby around my pubic bone, I've heard the skinnier u r, the bigger it looks.

    no it won't get bigger, it's already a normal size

    Honestly, who cares how big it looks?

    Yeah, if you lose some overall bodyfat that area will probably get less flabby... two points just from reading the 'fitness' board here is that [a] you can't spot-reduce fat, so don't be doing sit-ups trying to make your cock look bigger, you'd probably be better off jogging... actually a bit of cardio could well improve your circulation (helps strengthen erection? I dunno) some flab around that area is normal enough, to offer some protection to the treasures within... so it usualy takes a while before you see fat loss there.
    There again, I'm no fitness expert and haven't really tried this... you could try starting a new topic on the fitness board asking for tips ;)

    What way are you measuring? AFAIK you're supposed to measure with the ruler (or whatever) pushed in more towards your body... to reduce this pad-of-fat effect? I guess people do it different ways.
    Or if you can't be arsed excersizing, just give the bush a bit of a trim.

    I think all guys experience this, you reach a certain age and you're like "naw, it's definitly going to get bigger!, then a few years without growth and the denial wears off and you're like... "but what about that 10-incher I wanted?!".
    One of lifes secret dissapointments I guess. ;)
    But as Beruthiel said, it's a normal size, so don't freak out about it... I'm sure you could have been far worse off.
    Try to think more in terms of "Isn't it great that I'm not 4" hard" and less in terms of "Man it sucks that I'm not 7" like I imagined I'd be".
    I blame porn-stars tbh... making everyone think they should have big floppy donkey-dicks... it degrades men more than it does women in some ways. (or so I hear :p)

    Anyway, I think the point is, you can still make your lover squeel like a pig with 5 1/2 inches, so don't sweat it. :eek:

    not sure if its any consolation or not, but from talking to girls about it, men with big knos tend not to be that great at satisfying a woman in anything other than straight sex because they've never had to try hard because they think having a massive cock is all it takes to get the job done.

    whereas the majority of us average joe's tend to make more effort because we're always conscious of not packing a monster in the trouser department.

    all girls will probably want to get down with someone with a big'un, but we're the ones who get to have long lasting and fulfilling relationships because we're more sensitive to a womans deeper long term needs.

    or so i'm told, mines huge, so i don't give a toss either way. ;)

    I'll never look at you the same way again... small dick

    hehehe

    It's a perfectly normal size. Trust me, I've seen plenty.

    Yeah, I'd appreciate that... it was making me slightly uncomfortable.

    For the record I'm hung like a horse and can't play sports because they don't make jock-straps in my size.
    I tried to measure it the other day, but it kept flopping off the end of the ruler, I had to use a meter-stick.
    The bottom line is that you'll never know either way.

    I suppose it was too much to expect this thread to be treated as a serious question, with serious answers from people grown up enough to discuss it like adults.

    I'm always amazed at how much discussion this kind of topic gets, but I'll wade in with my 2 cents for what it's worth.

    Size is relatively irrelevant for a number of reasons, mostly biological which I'm not going to get into too much detail about here. If you take a purely logical point of view, (think of it this way), the vast majority of women in the world (and I may be wrong but I'd think it must be higher than 90% at least) are more than capable of orgasming using just their fingers and minds. There aren't too many women out there who have fingers that are longer than 4-5 inches!

    So with that being an established fact, it's fair to say that penis size is not the real issue here but rather ability and use of same. A second fact is that women generally need more than penetrative sex in order to orgasm, certainly penetrative sex forms part of the overall picture but is not the be all and end all of the subject.

    Think of your penis as just one of many appendages you have that you could and should use in order to satisfy your partner. You also have fingers, lips, tongue and perhaps most importantly your brain. Stimulation is not just physical, it's mental, emotional and oral. what you say and how you set it up is almost as important as the act itself.

    If you spend enough time on foreplay and paying attention to your partners needs then whether your penis is 4 inches or 9 inches shouldn't adversely affect her/his enjoyment of sex with you. get into their mind and the rest will come naturally

    I've yet to have a partner who orgasmed easier through penetrative sex than oral sex...

    Put it this way; a 15" hard-on will make you feel faint, and women seemingly don't like anything bigger than 12".

    Is "I'm hung like a stallion." a prerequisite to posting? ;)

    Men with larger penises tend to become impotent younger due to the amount of blood required. The biggest problem you're going to face with you're average penis, is your attitude toward it. It also depends on the girl very much, I've been with women who do not like deep penetration (and I'm average enough) at all.

    Then again I've been with women, who like it, positioning is the key.

    You got to work with what you have, and believe me, that if you can build your stamina, technique and positioning, it's much more important than an extra inch or two.

    A woman will much prefer a long haul in the sack with 5 1/2 inches ahead of an 8 inch that is stabbing at her womb lining. I'd say practise on your oral, I'd say a girl will achieve orgasm 90% of time if you're good, also, the female orgasm not from deep stimulation it's a much more physcological process. Also bear in mind the use of sex toys and mini stimulators too.

    Also the smaller penis thing does open up *ahem* doors with certain women, that other men would frankly perform exceedingly large amounts of damage to.

    I mean a ten inch would be great but imagine the pain an inverse angle erection (you know the ones) would cause.

    We're all so oversexualised, I mean look at Asian men, their average is smaller, look at African, they're larger. It's all irrelevant. A penis is a penis is a penis. It come in all shapes in size, just like a vagina, but I've never heard a women discuss the depth and girth of herself.

    You've got a penis, and a fairly useful one at that. Just thank God you're not a hermaphrodite or a stubby, or have a 12 incher that cant stay hard for longer than 5 minutes, head to Amazon.com and pick yourself up a few books on tantra, and show those ladies what you've learned.

    That's an interesting facticle. Got link backup?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,513 ✭✭✭BrianD3


    Average erect penis size is somewhere between 5 and 6.5 inches depending on which survey you believe. Surveys which involve a doctor measuring the cock usually come up with an average of around 5-5.5 inches, surveys which involve men measuring their own cocks usually come up with an average of around 6-6.5 inches. This higher average is probably because even in anonymous surveys, men tend to exaggerate and lie about their size.

    Currently trying to find a worthwhile source, I dont trust a lot of the web. The logic behind the argument is due the fact the amount of blood required to maintain erection, 90% of all impotency is in fact physical, not physcological. I'm sure a physically fit man of 40, with low cholestorol, and a of reasonable low body fat would not be, however, people like Ron Jeremy do often complain that maintain a full erection is a difficult task in itself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,817 ✭✭✭✭po0k


    Monster penes require alot more blood to keep em erect. You'll only attain "granite status" for a few minutes, unless you've got the heart of a race-horse.
    What use is 12" of flesh if intercourse is reduced to shoving a trout through a letter box?

    And anything over 8 or so inches is kinda pointless.
    You can tickle her cervix with all but the most modest penes in a certain position.

    Girth is something which may be more important to her enjoyment.
    The first 3 inches are what counts.

    I dont personally have a 5 1/2 inch penis, and while its more then that, I'm not pretending to be Mr Black here either. There are days when I think, man, it'd be sweet to have a 9 inch dick, but then I think - to hell with it, I should be just lucky with what I got, I know I get the job done fine so why wish for more, when there are probably millions who haven't even got what either you and I have!

    I know people say its irrelevant, and you think, oh yeah, easy for you to say, but honestly, its true. What alot of others have said already really says it all, so unless you have a remarkably tiny one, you're fine! Dont sweat it. and 5 1/2 inches is WELL clear of the tiny mark.

    Think of it this way - there are probably millions of men that say "man, I wish i was 5 1/2 inches!" Have faith in yourself!

    Dick size is only one part of the whole picture!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 414 ✭✭Uthur


    Measure along the top and push the ruler into the flesh til it stops. That's
    how doctors do it. I bet you're actually a good 6". Even if you are
    not, anything above 5" is into the normal range so be proud - you got
    everything it takes :)
