Supposedly those of us with 5.5 inches are "average." So to those of you like me who are around that size - why do I feel so small? Do you also feel small? Or for those of you that are larger, does 5.5 seem small to you? Or for women, what do you think?

I think that you spend too much time on the internet looking at big dicks. When big dicks become normal to you, average ones become small. Its all perspective. To me, my benis seems normal becaude its the only one i have seen in person and because its similar to ones that i see in porn. But statisticly speaking its bigger than average. Its similar to how i dont see many other mixed race/brown people in media here in the states, but i know that there are more brown people in the world.
At 5.5 I am small. I've been told I'm small by partners and have been turned down due to my being too small. Before I married my then girlfriend and I split up for a bit and she started dating this goofy dude who weeks before she belittled him when I asked why she was seeing him her response was "he's got a big dick and knows how to use it". Of all the attributes she could have liked and shared with me, it was his cock.
I'm also a 5.5 inch guy. And while i now know I am statistically average, I too have always felt like a smaller guy. I attribute that to 3 reasons:
1) when I was in high school and college, the average was said to be 6.5". So I was well below that. Later, the average was said to be 6". And more recently it was dropped to 5.5". I've even seen some stats that say it is 5.25". But since I spent so many early years thinking it was higher, it sort of got ingrained that what I got is below average.
2) I'm a pretty built guy--thick chest, broad shoulders, big arms. So looking in the mirror and seeing how my bone sticks out from this built frame, it just seems short, thick, and stubby.
3) even though I am average in length when hard--and maybe even above average in thickness----soft I'm well below average. In the locker room, I don't have much hang. It's such a contrast being a built confident guy and then in the locker room being one of the smallest guys there. So even though I've never had a complaint about my bone from a woman and know that statistically it is average, it still seems smaller.

I'm probably gonna get crushed on here for responding, but oh well, here goes: I'm a little bigger than you guys (6.5"×6"girth), but I also have always considered myself to be average/ smaller and that was FAR before I ever joined this site, which doesn't help that basically the average size on here seems to be somewhere between 7-8", respectively. However, no matter how many times I say it, I'll keep saying it: size doesn't matter; its what you do with it that counts.
Bullshit! I've seen first and heard hand what a big cock can do to a woman. Sadly, things that I've never been able to do. For me, I have learned I am sexually naïve and am working on fixing that but I do know that a short dick can't reach back rattle their world.
Well I'm living proof that an average to above average dick CAN fuck the living shot outta someone. My cock has never been called small, inferior, thin, nor have I EVER gotten a complaint about my cock or its performance. I think confidence has a lot to do with it as well and the sexual prowess to use your cock how your partner likes and responds to it also has a lot to do within how they view you sexually
Brandon, we average guys can easily put our dick in a TP roll and have room left over but you, from your pics, are larger than the TP roll. You have the above average part down. Personally I don't have any confidence anymore but like I said above I'm working on that. To the OP, sorry to side track your thread.
Totally agree with Brandon1.
I don't think there is anything wrong with my size (5.5 x 5). I've made many partners orgasm and several lovers have said I'm the best she's been with.
At the same time, I feel like my bone is smaller--or at least smaller than it seems to be statistically. It is that crazy contradiction--built masculine man who deep down feels like is bone is smaller than most other guys--that is the reason I come to this site some.
If a woman insults you based on your physical appearance and tries to make you feel inferior, she is a jerk and you shouldn't care who she's with. On the other hand, if you are into that and it is your fetish, then more power to you. But it doesn't make the "if your not big you're nothing" attitude true for the vast majority of other men.
Remember: if 5.5 is the average, then there a millions and millions of men SMALLER than that. And they are able to get up in the morning, shave, dress like studs, pick up chick, father children, and feel like complete males just the same.

I think this has to do with the fact that it IS an average and not a percentage of how many people have what size ducks. Yes the AVERAGE is 5.5", but that does not necessarily mean that any of the guys that participated in those studies were actually 5.5"; thus giving a false hope that many many guys are 5.5". Most guys i have seen, both real life and elsewhere, are usually closer to 6"-7".
My first bf was about that size but always referred to himself as 'small' which I didn't understand, at all but he called me 'big' and to my eyes they didn't seem much different. We were together for years but he was and is quite popular with the boys, like his dick size was no issue but for him.
I'm this size, and visually it just looks small. I'm around 4.5 thick, so when a partner stokes my cock and their hands very easily encircles my shaft at its thickest, hardest, when they stroke me with just their thumb and first two fingers while their other fingers are open and don't touch my cock, those all definitely contribute to feeling small. I'm muscular and athletic so it also looks smaller compared to my frame. Luckily I'm short so having a short, thin cock doesn't stand out too much. Being deep throated and being able to do anal are huge pluses, but when you know sometimes it's because you're smaller than a lover's ex's, it's a mixed feeling
I'm a bit bigger than you, at least in length, but good points that make sense!

5.5 feels small because it is small. Average is a lie. There is only big and small. Bigger is better. Small is bad.
