I think it's a lot more challenging for guys these days when it comes to penis size. "In olden days a glimpse of stocking / Was looked on as something shocking, / Now heaven knows, / Anything goes!" -- Lorenzo Hart. Our grandmothers most probably never saw another cock before their wedding night. And afterward they were told to lie back and bear it. Sex was only to be fun for the husband. "In your pursuit of pleasure, you / Have mistresses who treasure you. / They have no ken / Of other men / Beside whom they can measure you. / A flock of sheep and you're the only ram. / No wonder you're the wonder of Siam!" -- "Shall I Tell You What I Think of You?" (Oscar Hammerstein II) Things had changed by the time I grew up (which wasn't that long ago). I'm pretty sure most girls had a good idea about what to expect size wise. I lost my cherry in my senior year of high school (to my first wife). After such a long drought, I got a little cocky (in more ways that one!). There was a freshman girl next door who'd been mooning after me. One night we started necking and with a great flash of bravado I whipped out my iron-hard cock. She looked down and said, critically, "You're not so big! My uncle's a lot bigger!" It turned out her uncle's bedroom had once been the back porch. Sometimes in the morning she'd peek through a chip in the painted-over window between their rooms and had seen him with a morning wood. So her being an inexperienced, teenage virgin just sprouting boobies didn't shield her from the knowledge of comparative cock sizes. There were occasional references in movies, but nothing like today. Now it's in the movies, on TV, in music, in presidential debates. Female celebrities are declaring their preference for big cocks on radio, TV, and print. The internet and magazines are awash with studies proving that women are more visually turned on by big cocks than small, that women who enjoy better sex are partnered with better-hung men, that men in sports admire their better-endowed teammates over the smaller ones. I remember as a teenager pawing through a Playboy, Hustler or Penthouse with the cover headline "Women and Penis Size". It was a panel of six women. Some favored big, many were okay with average, but none had any use for small. Two told horror stories of going home with good-looking guys only to discover they were minisculely hung. But these kind of articles were not that prevalent then. Now they're all over the place, wherever you look. I'm sure they're on billboards in Times Square. So, yes, I think it's a lot harder for smaller-hung dudes nowadays. Thank goodness I'm safely married to my gorgeous wife and out of the fray. However, if my wife dumped me and I was back on the streets, I think I'd do okay. Good looks and a fantastic personality can make up for a lack of inches below the belt. I'm living proof. But she'd better hurry up if she's gonna do it! Tempus fugit. I'm expecting my first gray hair any day now! You don't want to be on the hunt with a small dick when you're collecting social security.

@RodEnuf I'm bi and oral versatile. I'm far more attracted to sucking cocks that are average (6") to smaller and not to thick. One that is 5" long, with a 4 3/4" to a 5 1/4" circumference is what I consider perfect. I have a small mouth and cocks that are too long, especially too thick, are not nearly as comfortable in my mouth. Besides, I can give the average to smaller cocks much better blow jobs.

@overthehill: I would like to know what and where you found the studies for this response, or is this your personal opinion. I cannot find any studies or surveys to justify this response. I believe everyone has a right to an opinion; and to belittle someones opinion, belittles the persons credibility that is criticizing said opinion.

Personally I’ve been around average since I was like 15. But that was also more than 20 years ago. It seems a lot of boys/teens are developing really big really quick nowadays. I posted a story here not to long ago about a 14 year old nudist who must’ve been 9” erect. It was definitely bizarre. I’m not going to be a fool and say that that boy was the new average for teens, but judging from my experiences and from stories I’ve read it’s much more common for kids to grow over average size even by the begining of puberty.

I've had a surprising number of conversations about size with friends over the years. However, for the life of me I don't remember how they started or suggest how you should approach the matter. To begin with, I don't ever remember deliberately trying to initiate talk along these lines with anyone in particular. Whenever it happened, it was serendipitous. So, with that in mind, I'd suggest that the best way is to set up the pre-conditions for such type of conversation. It was probably more natural for me because I've been into sports all my life. It's routine for me to be seen naked by many of my friends. As Red suggested, a bit of humor can help. I often make cracks (when appropriate) about my size. This lets others know I'm okay with the subject and not self-conscious. When I was overseas in the Navy, my wife had an affair with a buddy of mine who was much better hung. She told me about it when I came home on leave. When I got back to base, I confided this to a few friends. "Found out while I was gone my wife's been fucking a guy with a big dick!" This opened the door for a few private conversations later. When I was stationed stateside, a buddy and I had a series of 3-ways with chicks. The word got around, and one day a bunch of guys in the rec room peppered me with questions. I described how they went, and oh-so-casually threw in a comment about my buddy doing most the fucking because the chicks preferred his big cock over my small one. That also opened the door for some later talking, if not a subtle bit of self-SPHing! But I'd caution, don't go overboard. Choose the time and place and the right way to say it. It can too easily come across as just plain weird. Work things in naturally with your friend and see if he bites. If he doesn't, just call it a bad deal and fold your cards. Some guys jump for talk like this, others are just too shy.

I was 13 when my father and I had to share a bed one night while we were in the process of moving into our new house. I woke up to use the bathroom, and sometime within the night my father somehow wiggled out of his light drawstring shorts. So all I saw was my fathers hard dick sticking up straight in the air. From the looks of it he was somewhere near 4.5 inches long. At the time i was 4 inches, but he appeared to be a little thicker than me. A few years later (or so), I was using his phone to download picture for a school project. When I plugged his phone into the desktop, it downloaded all of his pictures. I didn’t think anything of it until I’m looking for my projects pictures and my fathers dick pops onto the screen. At this point, my dick is right at 5 inches, and close to the same girth. My dad has nice size balls, I’d say somewhere between loose hanging, and tight. My balls are way bigger than his as well. I never told my father that I saw him with a raging boner, nor that his dick pics ended up on the desktop.

@overthehill whatever...... and yes you do rant.....everyone understands the difference between average ( a single number) and what is meant by average range and you go on and on and on..... YOUR BEATING A DEAD HORSE. You repeat the same thing on average at least 8-10 times,

I'm Paul, and always naked! https://imgur.com/vvGa2Hq

I guess anything that exceeds our own noticeably, say by one or two inches in length and also clearly thicker will seem huge in comparison. As I said you're most used to seeing your own so anything noticeably different in size is um....... clearly obvious!

@Biggie Smalls LOL yes as that would be bigger than me

@Triasco9.5 My point was if you think they are "superior", then they are. Ancient greeks thought smaller is superior, now bigger is. It can't be both ways. As you said, perception.. and perceptions change (obviously). Its not their penis size, it my/yours/our self-esteem that is the issue. Our perception of superiority is skewed. Perceptions and erroneous beliefs to often go hand in hand Some still believe men are superior to women..... There are advantages/disadvantages to either end of the spectrum.

Being or feeling superior to another may come from a certain trait or size of a body part when we are young and immature because we have a lot to learn whilst young. When we mature we realise that superiority comes from respect and respect has to be earned, it's never given! Being or feeling superior to another in adulthood either comes from position of power which is not always earned thus false superiority. Or alternatively conducting yourself through life properly, working hard and earning a position of power and using that power responsibly whilst respecting everyone around you. Thats true superiority but only in a positional sense, never does a physical trait make one superior except in the world of some sports. To think otherwise is usually due to low self esteem. You are and can be just as superior as anyone else with the right mindset.

I agree with you. Unfortunately so many people in the US have intense phobias about nudity, especially within the family. I've found Europeans much more open and casual about nudity at home and at the beach. I found it liberating. I did grow up taking showers every day with my father until I was almost 12. My brother and I often showered together at home when we were young teens. Group showers at school started when I was 10 or so....I was very curious about other boys, I think we all were but never encountered any bullying at that age. I don't think cock size became noticeable until I was in high school.

I grew up in a nude household so I saw my dad (and mom and brother) naked many times, not just there but at the YMCA (where men swam nude) and camping. Our equipment is surprisingly similar.
