Is it weird to be insecure about your owne penis when your actually pretty big?

I am 8.5'' HARD, like max.
And around 5.5'' round.
But still I feel small and the need to get bigger, I am 18 years old and almost praying to let it grow just a bit more.
Is it because I browse this forum and seen a little too much porn or does the little guy just seem smaller from your owne point of view?


Sometimes I almost feel guilty to complain about it..
I talked to my gf, we both were virgins when we first had sex and not everything went so smooth, needed to hold back etc, but after a year, it went alot better.
She never says anything like ''ooh its so big'' or something, just when I ask she always tell me on a irretated tone ''Its huge'' or something simple and short like that.

So is it weird or wrong to think of it like this?

Yes, it does look smaller from above than it does from someone else's point of view. And you're getting a very unrealistic comparison from porn and this site.

And yes, get over it. Before you lose your girlfriend. Women stay with men, not cocks, mostly. Plus, I think you're near the size where intercourse becomes problematic for most women.

Oh, and post some pics. You'll soon get some feedback.

You'll definitely get a skewed view of things from porn (clearly fantasy) and this site (largely fantasy).

In porn, the average man is in the 7-8" range. In reality, the average man is more like 5" and less than 1 percent of men are 8" or more.

In porn, women crave large penises. In reality, SOME women crave large penises ... but most are fairly indifferent and have no patience with guys who are obsessed with their own genitalia.

Objectively, only 1 of every 500 or more men has an 8.5" penis. As it seems you've experienced, you're already at a size that many women can't comfortably handle ... so it's a bit illogical to wish for it to be any larger, no?

I do agree with you in some respects. I'm 8 inches long and 6 inches thick and am still a little insecure about it. It's a matter of visual perspective. We just see it smaller from above. But don't worry about it too much. You're big and just because your gf isn't vocal about it doesn't mean you're small. Women just tend to be less outwardly enthusiastic about a man's size. Inside they may be excited but for some reason they don't like telling us. And those are the one who like big ones. Like Steve said above, most just want a man with a penis. Size is a bonus.

So don't worry. You're ok. I'm ok. We're all ok.

I'm about the same size as someotherguy, and my experience is about the same. I've had a few women who I've told my size before sex and got the "yeah, sure" response, only to be told later that I'm not a liar. But women in general don't care a whole lot about penis size, unless it's way over at either end of the bell curve.

We all have seen our own penis one too many times. We know the size well but never fail to think it's actually a tad smaller than that. There are days one looks at oneself in the mirror and think "my junk doesn't look bad at all" and others when it goes "goodness, that is just not right".
