For starters, as long as you use your other bedroom talents to good effect, most girls will tell you that size doesn’t matter. They might even actually mean it. If you’ve ever been out with a girl with small breasts, you’ll know how pert and sexy they can be. Does that stop you wishing they were bigger? Probably not.
Then there are the statistics about what 'average' really is. According to just about every study out there, the average erect penis stands at five and a half inches, which sounds pretty unimpressive. It’s certainly nothing like the size of the dicks on male porn stars. But that’s okay, because most other men are in the same boat as you.
It might not always seem that way. The locker room experience of looking around the shower room and then down at your own little man with a new sense of inadequacy is well documented. But psychologists tell us that this is partly an optical illusion, and partly due to our own insecurities. Your dick isn’t really smaller than everyone else’s – you only think it is.
Bigger Penis, Better Sex
It’s often reported that men worry much more about penis size than women. But when a woman says that size doesn’t matter, how much does she mean it? Small may be okay, but that doesn’t necessarily mean bigger isn’t better...
We all know that men and women have different ideas about penis size. While many men worry that their manhood is not big enough, the official stance from most women is that "hey, it’s ok – it’s not the size that matters but what you do with it that really counts".
There is certainly a degree of truth in this sentiment, which is held (or clung to) by owners of small penises the world over. But not all women are so keen to reassure guys that they have nothing to worry about. For some, there is just no hiding the fact that a bigger penis means better sex.
The mechanics of sex itself suggest that this is indeed the case. Penises with more girth (i.e. with a thicker shaft) cause more stretching of the vaginal walls near the entrance to the vagina. This area is home to most of the nerve-endings that need to be stimulated to produce sexual pleasure. A thicker penis is able to stimulate more of these nerve-endings, and so is an advantage during sex.
Length is also important, for a number of reasons. A longer penis can stimulate the vagina more easily, in the same way that a thicker member can. On the other side of the coin, having a shorter dick can affect a man’s confidence and as a result, hamper his sexual performance.
Is Penis Girth Important?
When talking about penis size, most people think only about length. A large dick is usually anything over six inches long, but is this ignoring the bigger picture? Evidence shows that perhaps girth, not length, is the key to sexual satisfaction…
If someone asked you how big your dick is, what would you say? Six inches? Seven inches maybe? The chances are that, if you were feeling cooperative, you would give a measurement based solely on the length of your penis.
When looking down at your member, or when it’s on display to others, it may seem that length is the most important factor in measuring penis size. This is because a longer penis has the appearance of being larger than a shorter one. No surprises there. But to measure your penis in this way is to ignore another important factor – girth.
More girth, more stimulation
The term girth refers to the thickness of your penis. Most men don’t give a moment’s thought to this, but when it comes to satisfying your partner, evidence shows that the girth of your dick could actually be more important than its length.
It turns out that on the female sexual organs, most of the sensitive nerve endings that need to be stimulated to produce pleasure are located close to the entrance of the vagina. It’s the stretching of the vaginal walls in this area that excites these important nerve endings. So when it comes to giving a woman an orgasm, girth may really be more important that length.
This theory is backed up by the experiences of many real women. In both medical research and popular journalism, women say again and again that girth is important and in some cases, that they even prefer fatter dicks to longer ones.
Women prefer girth!
As one expert from the Sexual Health Network has remarked, "Everybody has their own tastes when it comes to turn-ons. But most women prefer girth over length, especially since the lower third of the vaginal canal has the most nerve endings."
This information is all very well if you already have a big dick with plenty of girth. If so, you’re probably feeling pretty happy with yourself by now.
For men who want to increase the thickness of their penis, there are two options – surgery (expensive and usually unsuccessful), or trying one of the latest penis enlargement systems, which have grown hugely in both credibility and popularity in the last few years.
As for those men with short, fat dicks who are used to feeling inadequate in the locker rooms – the chances are, you’re making up for it in other areas!
