Hunks with small cocks

I've had an epiphany! I've felt for a long time that many of the men in "Hunks with Small Cocks" aren't really that small; they're what you see every day at the gym. Not big; average.

Today I realized that it's just a matter of perception. Although the average penis is somewhere around 5.1" erect and 3.6" flaccid, porno and modern media depictions have shifted our perception of that upwards. In other words, we now class most cocks which aren't large as small; that is, average is the new small.

We wonder why so many guys today shower in their underwear. In my father's and grandfather's generation, they just looked around the showers, saw how they fit in, no big deal. Now young guys check things out on the internet, feel the pressure, and do the towel dance. Not only guys, but girls. I read the other day that girls check men out on the internet; lots of searches of gay sites (for the male pics) and, interestingly, black sites (checking out the BBC rumors, perhaps). This obviously places more pressure on young men to measure up.

So, yep, I guess most guys post average-sized cocks here because, well, they're not big, which makes them, in their eyes, well, small.
 
I agree with some of what you say Jock… but I’d disagree about the reason communal nudity declined.

In my generation, young men did not casually get naked. There were no after PE showers or anything like that. The only time there was communal nudity was when it was unavoidable… and then it was still often avoided.

So the change happened a lot earlier than the internet. Perhaps you could make the argument that the onset of porn available in the home on TV and video…. But personally I think the shift happened as culture became
More overtly sexualized.

Men, in general, do not like themselves to be viewed as “sex objects” except on their own terms. (And, in terms of the traditional ear I grew up in, by women.) and single sex spaces (such as swimming) disappeared and popular culture became more specialized, nudity—even if it was a single sex space—became more sexualized.

The older generation that didn’t have a specialized view of nudity were thought of as my generation as somewhat creepy. WHY are they insistent of standing nude in the locker room and shaving when they could just get dressed? Must be because nudity WAS the point…. Ned therefore creepy.

This went somewhat hand in hand with a “no homo” thinking. Since nudity was by nature sexual, then the only reason anyone would care if there WASNT nudity must was that as a sexual object. So no one had any social incentive to challenge it.

Perhaps a byproduct of this was that men’s self impression got skewed. Certainly men don’t want to seem weaker or different in that context. (Again, I’m generalizing here about male perspectives.) and the further their self appraisal got form their impression of “normal”, the more incentive for modesty.

As someone who finds the psychology of size in men interesting, it’s why the “college wrestlers in singlets” thread is interesting. Because there are the macho athletes who, even though modestly is fully entrenched, still get photographed with their VPL on full display. And many of them seem very small relative to the social norm. So it’s a complete 180 from how most men behave these days.
 
@Jjdov27_2 I'm probably skewed on this. My school still had open showers (only 15-20 yrs ago). Plus, I was in sports. Then the Navy. Nudity was fairly commonplace; no big deal. Only later did I hear of people having hangups about nudity in showers or the gym; thought that very weird. It probably depends on the local culture.
 
thought - shaving your tiny cock actually makes it more obvious and make it look even smaller.... Any one else got any thoughts?
Kind of agree, but i think it makes smaller cocks look smaller and prepubescent but think it makes bigger cocks look bigger and resemble geoducks. but its usually smaller guys desperate to look bigger that shave it smooth. just my observations. i've always preferred thelook of manly pubic hair.
 
I think shaving makes a small endowed man look tiny… basically because it has an air of desperation and removes the most obvious sign of his maturity.

While shaving to an average guy might make him look bigger, it still feels “performative” to me.

Again, I think this is a generational thing… as a middle aged guy. Shaving was something very few did. Trimming was more my generation’s speed… and I did that with an eye to look bigger all through my 20s and 30s

Totally agree on that. And that's why I never shave myself fully, makes me look like a schoolkid... But those bigger shaved ones actually do look bigger. Matter of perception I guess...?

A man with a tiny cock and its completely shaved bald just draws attention to it

I can say this is true from my experience. I tried shaving in college and, as others have said, it just ended up looking boyish. I'm personally a fan of pubic hair no matter the size, but I will admit that shaving makes big guys look bigger (at the cost of looking manly, in my opinion), but also makes small guys look smaller. As others have pointed out, I think it just emphasizes what's already there.
