Body Dysmorphia Of The Dick

[deleted1118872]

Does anyone else think they have something like this?

Body dysmorphia particularly regarding dick size- dicksmorphia? You feel like you have a problem and you know you don't. At least not physically. You don't believe the ruler.

Particularly if you do PE or are addicted to showing off on cam. Why can't we get any satisfaction?

I'm not aware of any mental health professional that would actually diagnose this. But it really feels like that's what's going on.

I'm putting this in the "health, fitness, and bodybuilding" thread because, for me at least, I also work out a lot for reasons I can't explain. It might be different facets of the same thing. Plus, it's mental health.

I cant find much on mental heath on this website at all...that is kind of sad. Today was the first day in a long time I had time alone, and I tried to masturbate and for the first time in my life I couldn't get it up. Just the other day I went a few times. Twice a day is normal for me for my entire adult life. I have a larger than average penis(I think I'm average or small) but since I was a kid I was obsessed with my penis size. Maybe it was seeing honey I shrunk the kids, or some sci fi stuff I always fantasized about my penis growing larger than my body, even bigger than a house. From the moment I got a credit card I started secretly ordering penis enlargement stuff, extenders, pills, pumps, I kept a size journal since I was a teenager. I think I'm still obsessing over my penis, and this is leading to depression, and today the first time (unless I'm getting sick) impotence(while masturbating). My wife is very satisfied, but sore after so we only go about once a week or so. I don't guilt her about it, and I don't pressure her for sex, I simply masturbate when she isn't around or after she falls asleep watching tv. I'm not hiding it from her fyi.
Has anyone on here found a sex therapist that has helped with similar issues at all? I feel like I might need help but I cant find any info on this. Has anyone gotten help for this? Does anything help? Am I crazy?

I think "dick dysmorphia" is a real thing...some of it I blame porn, but because it seems to persist even amongst larger than average individuals, I think it's a subconscious understanding that at least visually, bigger is generally considered better, or at the very least more attractive. I think men try to mitigate the situations in which they would be subject to rejection, and most have accepted they'd much rather be rejected for having too much penis than denied or ridiculed for not having enough.
I think the sexual frequency in relationships also contributes towards this attitude as after a time where our sexual efforts may not wane in the least, women by in large seem to lose physical attraction for their partners gradually from the time a commitment is established, typically marked by less enthusiasm and opportunities made available for sex. Much like women tend to look at their physical appearance 1st if their men wane in attraction, I think men look at the one thing they think would visually hold a woman's attention in a sexual way.
