The message pop culture puts out about dick size

[wnjcwjkk]

When I was young, and much less hung (I'm 7 inches now, at age 29), I had a big insecurity about the size of my cock. And the media and pop culture did not help.

From what I've seen, the message that pop culture puts out about cock size is:

A Big Dick is desirable, pleasurable, what every woman wants, powerful, masculine, etc.

A Small Dick is inadequate, makes you "less of a man", not pleasurable, and worst of all, something to be laughed at and made fun of.

A penis is a sexual organ, something that is kept hidden, private, you can't tell who's hung and not just by looking at them clothed. So, it has that mysterious element that people, especially young and curious people, are gonna be fascinated with it. and, at that age, the messages you get from movies and whatnot, has a big impact.

These are just a few examples I can remember off the top of my head, from my youth, that had some sort of impact on me.

Remember those Big Johnson T Shirts? They had cartoons of a nerdy looking guy surrounded by buxom women, with an obvious innuendo that he had a huge cock, which they found desirable.

Seems they had one for every sport, occupation, hobby, like a fishing one that says "You Won't Have To Be A Master Baiter When She Sees The Size Of Your Big Johnson" or like a baseball "You'll Score A Home Run Every Time When You Step To The Plate Swinging A Big Johnson"

And the more confident (or possibly insecure) guys would wear them. I would NEVER wear one, at the time I didn't want any attention whatsoever being drawn to the size of my Johnson. One time, a guy got in trouble at school for wearing one under his uniform shirt, and I remember over hearing a couple girls "He must have a big dick!" Which is obviously what you're trying to advertise wearing the shirt. If he did or not, I have no idea.

Me, a couple guys and a couple chicks went to see Scary Movie, a spoof on those teen horror flicks. There's a scene where a guy gets a Polaroid, and it actually shows the photo of a guy with a tiny penis, that says I KNOW. The hot chicks in the film see it and point at him laughing. Somebody says "You're not the only one who got one." Referring to an I KNOW letter, and he says "What, you mean Bobby's got a baby dick, too?"

The hot chicks we were with were all giggling about it. I pretended to laugh, but that shit wasn't funny to me, it was pretty close to the size of my junk at the time, and laughter was the last response I wanted to get, it was part of the reason I was afraid to even show it, much less use it, until my early 20's.

When we were younger, we hung out at this skanky Skating Rink on Fridays, that played the exact
same playlist every night. One of those songs was called Short Short Man by some women called 20 Fingers, which is bad enough to make a short guy feel like shit about himself.


Well, one girl found out it was actually an edited version of the song, it was actually called Short Dick Man. So she played it for a bunch of us, several hot chicks I had my eye on, they all laughed and giggled, played it again, sang it to each other, while I felt completely insecure and anxious. With lyrics like:

"Don't want no Short Dick Man"
"What the fuck is that thing?"
"Aww, isn't that cute? An extra belly button!"
"That has GOT to be, the smallest dick I have ever seen in my life"
"You need some tweezers to put that little thing away?"
"You need to put your pants back on!"

I'm sure there's guys out there into sph who J/O to that song everyday, but what a messed up, stupid ass song haha.

Smaller guys take their dick size very seriously, the media takes a really jokey approach to the subject, but that kinda shit can really affect somebody's body image in the same way that these kinds of things can have a terrible impact on the self esteem of young, overweight kids.

Thankfully, my dick has since grown to a respectable 7 inches. But, that isn't the case for everybody, and I know exactly what it's like to feel small and have it thrown in your face everywhere you look.

yes it seems to be an Achilles heel of western culture. When it comes down to it-who cares really. I use to brag really, i was never worried but more felt as if i was a blessed person in some way, as though all my friends and strangers were less than me in some way other than penis-ego tripping. Then come to find out that was what society would have you believe and you realize youve been a dick on the outside the whole time. It has nothing to do with nothing.

It's like anything else. Some people like big ones. Some don't. Some people like large breasts and some prefer smaller. People equate big dicks with automatic masculinity and a great lay. Erroneous. People assume average to smaller dicks can't get the job done. Erroneous. Girls with large breasts are stupid. Erroneous. The bottom line to it is and always will be this: Be happy with what you have because you can't safely change it. Be more focused on finding someone that will love you for the person that you are, rather than what may or may not be swinging between your thighs. As life goes on, and sex becomes less and less a focus, you'll be glad you've got a person by your side that you truly actually care about than anything else. Period.

I didn't read half of the posts. But I can speak to the message of pop culture: it emphasizes showers over growers.

I myself being a grower, can totally relate to the havoc pop culture can cause a man's mentality. I'm by no means HUGE when hard, though I am pleasing. However it has taken me years and a few partners to accept this plus many online pics. But I used to be terribly insecure about my penis because when I'm soft...I'm like 2" it's tiny. But I grow to about 6.5in and have a girth that easily takes up a whole hand.

So pop culture is bullshit.

Nice post. Yeah i rememeber hearing short short man but i try let these stupid things brush over my head. Pop culture is as bad as some porn in how it glorifies size

People get mad at my posts, but am I really saying anything too different than what society and pop culture tell us about penis size?

This is one of the reasons I'm a feminist.
You can't be more or less of a man. Not in any imaginable way. And especially not because of a bodily characteristic.
Fuck the patriarchy.

I am a grower. Once in the shower I was being ribbed about my tiny dick. A few friends who had seen it long came to my defense. But most of the basketball team said, "Put up or shut up." So, I got under the warm water, closed my eyes, thought of sexy thoughts, and my little cock grew. I didn't bone up. Just to the point of the plateau stage where its hanging long and staring to move out from my body. That was the last time I was ever teased for having a tiny dick. And there was no repercussion about growing in the shower.

I got a shirt years ago as a gift that said "I'VE GOT A BIG ONE" on the back... on the front it said ABERCROMBIE LONGBOARDS in much smaller letters. I was careful where I wore it.

Dude, you're a chipmunk.
