The Truth About Penis Size

Myth #1: Bigger is better. Not necessarily so. Because most men become aroused visually, men have concluded that the larger the sexual organ, the bigger the turn on (the media, including the porn industry, perpetuates this myth). Most men are surprised to learn that the average size length of an erect penis is between 5.1- 6.2 inches depending on the study. The reality is that some women are actually frightened by very big penises, and most women just don't attach very much importance to size. When it comes to turning on a woman, technique trumps penis size every time!

Myth #2: I need a large penis to please a woman. The vagina is very elastic, so a woman's vagina can accommodate a big or a small penis. Most vaginas are only 3-4 inches deep and all vaginas remain collapsed when nothing is inside of them. Because the most sensitive part of the vagina is the opening, where she has a concentration of nerve endings, the sensations that a bigger penis may cause aren't that different from those produced by a smaller penis. Additionally, a woman who keeps her pelvic floor toned and vaginal opening tight with kegel exercises wont even feel the difference.

Obviously if a man has an unusually small penis, a woman may not feel it very much, which is a problem, however still not insurmountable as most women need direct clitoral stimulation to achieve an orgasm which is most effectively done with a vibrating toy, tongue or hand. As I said earlier, a man who enjoys pleasuring his partner with a toy or various other body parts has little to worry about.

Myth # 3: I can make my penis larger with gadgets or supplements. Men often ask me, “How can I make my penis bigger?”. There actually is one way to achieve a larger penis (excluding surgery). It is available for all men find themselves at least 15 pounds overweight. Although most of the penis is visible, part of the penis is buried beneath the skin and is called the crus. If a man has excess fat in his pubic area, then part of the length of his penis is buried beneath the skin. With weight loss, a man will expose a greater portion of his penis, thus his penis “grows”. The approximation doctors use is one inch of erect penis length gain for every 30 pounds lost.

For a fresh perspective, and more accurate perspective, on your penis size, try looking at yourself standing naked in front of a mirror (instead of looking down). You might be surprised by how much larger you penis looks from this perspective (as its seen by others). When you look down, foreshortening (a trick of the eyes) occurs, which is an optical illusion making your penis appear smaller than it really is.

Myth #4: My penis is misshapen because it's curved. Finally, if your penis is curved when erect, your penis is perfectly normal! Men who don't know this often think something is wrong with their penis and feel self-conscious about it. Trust me, penises curve and bend in every direction when erect. If you are concerned, however, see a Urologist for peace of mind. The ratio of crus (penis under the skin) to exposed penis will cause variation in the direction that a penis points during an erection. Men with a shorter crus, thus a longer penis, are more likely
to have an erection that points downward, while a penis that has a longer crus will point outward or even strait out when erect.

Bottom line, your sex appeal is determined by many factors, least of which is penis size. Focus on improving sexual technique, increasing emotional intimacy and developing confidence as a lover and youʼll have a fully satisfied partner!
