Runco, you are an idealist I see which is what we should all aspire to be, however most of us haven't attained this view yet...unfortunately.
Plain and simply...as you said yourself, you enjoy looking at and having sex with men with bigger than average penises. Men want to be desired and if having an average or bigger than average penis will help, then they measure to see if they are bigger than this "average", which is pretty vague to begin with and helps to creates to all the confusion and the never ending saga.
And just like women dress up and wear make-up primarily to impress other women as they "compete for femininity" primarily subconsciously of course, men like to compare their penises to other men looking for masculine affirmation. Obviously none of this matters in the grand scheme of things, especially in the modern world we live in...but these primal insticts remain.
I really dont feel this is that hard of a concept to grasp and for the record, I've measured my penis dozens of times knowing it wont change.
Actually, there is nothing vague about the size of the average penis. It is well documented that the length of the average erect human penis is between 5.08 inches and 5.9 inches (according to measurements taken at three separate studies) The typical girth is approximately 4.85 in when fully erecthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erection. The average penis size is slightly larger than the median size (or, put another way, most penises are below average in size). The confusion comes in when men measure themselves because they tend to overstate their measurements for a variety of reasons. But rest assured, these are the averages and a guy who measures above this can confidently say his penis is bigger than average. I have looked at psidom's gallery and he appears to be well above average, hence my inability to understand exactly what the problem is. Remember - at least 85% of women would be thrilled with what he has to offer.
I wouldn't describe myself as an idealist. What I am is a realist. I see what goes on around me in relation to, for example, cosmetic surgery (which some women of my age might be thinking about having around now). The reality from my point of view is it is going to take more than some oversized and perky tits to improve the quality of my life. This is why I will never buy into the bullshit that we are all being peddled. It isn't about idealism but keeping things in perspective. I know my body isn't perfect but I really don't care! And then there is the whole penis thing. What are guys going to do? Tattoo their penis sizes on their foreheads to help women make up their minds who to choose? And then what? I just wish people would stop kidding themselves or allowing themselves to be kidded about what having a bigger dick/bigger boobs or whatever is going to do for them. From where I am sitting knowing this info is not going to make a lick of difference to any of your lives. Seriously.
