Penis dysmorphia/Small Penis Anxiety

Yeah, I know that porn sizes are definitely exaggerated and that is part of what warps all our perceptions! I will say that 7-8 inches sounds right for Kyle Mason, but Lex Steel has to be over 8” imo!
He might be a little over 8 at his biggest.

Take care

I didn't know Mandingo was 4" soft and this is obviously his hanging measurement so that would definitely make mine in the same ballpark

Thanks for your input Greco, I agree with most of your posts on the measured pornstars?? Thread and glad you took some time to comment on this thread.

When I posted this thread I didn't know when measuring flaccid your penis has to be perpendicular to ur body those dimensions I posted for my flaccid were 'hanging measurements' which I learned can add extra length, properly measured now my flaccid BP ranges from I wanna say bare minimum ~4.5 (Shrunken) ~6 (semi flaccid)

It is very possible the women I've hooked up with have had partners bigger which would make sense why'd one of them called me average while the others said the opposite and my fatpad is ~2" so it makes my dick look much smaller if I push my fatpad back my cocks looks way bigger so maybe if I just focus on losing my fatpad I'll start seeing it from a different perspective and feel better, so 7" BP might seem nice but not if your obese.

Fully flaccid and fully hard. Am I Ave or..?
Dude, this is coming from a small guy, you're measuring wrong even perpendicular. It's going off to the right. You're measuring from the side also. On top of all that, you're bp. All of this gives you extra length tbh with you. Woman do not give a rats ass about bp. They don't know about it and just look at it and think meh average or small. Unless it's 8 inches nbp hard and 6 inches soft, truly soft, you're average or small. Don't get too hung up about it dude. It fucked with me for years. I've slowly, veeery slowly, begun to accept it. That and I'm getting old. I now have a case of IDGAF LOL

Hello, I just thought I'd share a personal experience with some of y'all that maybe you can relate with or just comment on and be a helping hand, whichever one... I didn't realize it until recently but I have been suffering from SPA and Penis Dysmorphia for as long as I can remember and honestly it did not really start becoming an issue until recently where I've had a couple instances happen that really shook my identity. Before I continue id like to say I am 7" BP measured properly top side and 5in girth, however wider-thicker down along the base.... However I am a lil obese ATM so my NBP is actually 6" ATM. I've had about 5 sexual encounters with women... My first GF said it was a 'beautiful cock' and that it was 'huge' with strong emphasis 'you have nothing to worry about' ... Second girl said it was 'average' (but then again she was trashy white girl who had seen a lot of black dicks and when asked her if black men are bigger she said yes very emphatically, however she was kind enough to say that I should never let a girl convince me I'm small because I'm not...and that kinda hurt a lil bit because I asked her if it was big and she said 'no'. Third girl said you have nothing to worry about multiple times... Not to sound gay but I let a gay guy suck my dick to get an honest opinion from a gay guy and he complimented my cock like it was the last Cock on earth, calling it lovely, fat, perfect, ideal, etc u name whatever compliment you can think of for a Cock i was given it. And one more experience with a woman whose bf was much smaller and she was saying how it's big and she's gonna be sore tomorrow...yadadada... Anyhow all these experiences have been amazing for my confidence if that's what you want to say but for some reason even though so many people are telling me otherwise i still feel 'small' and no matter what i do, i cant convince my subconscious mind otherwise...it is locked into thinking i am not big and unfortunately i don't even think my mind considers me average...which brings me to my next point!!!!

Growing up I was teased a few times by friends in my flaccid state which looks tiny sometimes when it's really shriveled up I am a grower but don't get it twisted...I am 5in-5in+ x 4in+4in+ girth on avg NBP (but when shrunken like 4in NBP x 3.75-4in girth...BP flaccid i am easily 5 shrunken - 6-6+x4.5 on a nice relaxed flaccid. One guy saw it when I was drunk I would imagine it looked small and told everyone I was small (stuck with me). Another time at work my manager saw me in boxers and said it was small and told his son to come up to me and called me pencil dick. Those are actually the only instances I can recall...also my sister In law kept indirectly and directly talking and suggesting I have a small or tiny penis just being a bitch but I think that's just that I think she was being a bitch because her brother and her were going through some shit so I think she just wanted to take her anger out on me...

Ive been addicted to porn for almost 15 years now...and let me just say I am not gay but for some reason I always just wanted to watch the biggest of the biggest cocks in porn fuck women..
your Shane diesels, shorty Mac's, Ramon monster Cock, etc...etc... Now don't get it twisted I always favored johnny sins, Chris strokes,etc.. and I said God I wish I had a Cock like strokes or sins because wanting to have a Cock like Shane diesel just was not going to happen let alone thinking I would be anywhere near sins or strokes but as it turns out i have the same as exact dimensions or close enough to sins and strokes!? Come to find out after 10 years of watching porn and thinking they were twice my size ... Phewwww what a relief and serious eye opener right ?? I mean I looked up to these guys now I'm in the same ballpark?? Go figure... So anyway watching the biggest subconsciously you compare and feel inferior without a shadow of a doubt....

I purchased a dildo my exact dimensions and keep it beside me for self image reprogramming however it's hard to get over my flaccid state and the idea others might have about it because when it's really shriveled up it literally looks tiny.. I would hate for a woman to see me in visible pants only to see a small flaccid and think I'm small because God forbid they should know that penises grow exponentially and what looks small to tiny can grow up to 7 inches...anyway I don't like to wear anything other than jeans when leaving the house so people don't get the wrong idea... If I do decide to wear something that shows my dick print id prefer to wear a ring or something to keep blood flow pumping so it doesn't look to small (I don't actually do this but it's an idea)...
anyway when not wearing jeans or something I always notice women and men in general staring at my crotch area.. I have a very confident walk, aura and swagger about me and some can confuse that for arrogance or a big ego... Anyhow I noticed that when people especially women notice my not so large bulge it's almost like they lose interest or attraction for me no matter how cool I may appear... Don't get me wrong I've noticed a couple actually like what they saw and give me good signals but for the most part it's almost like cause I'm so confident they expect Mandingo in my pants and they get upset when that's not the case (at least till I get hard lol jk... But seriously being a grower fucken sucks sometimes and you can't explain to every woman that it's not small because well that would be awkward to walk up to a chick and say that. I am always worried people are judging my dick and I'm being rejected because they think I'm small because of their perception of my flaccid and thinking I must be 'small' ... I noticed a couple times I walk confidently pass multiple women and they have to inevitably stare at my dick like always and they go like 'yaaaaaa okkk' or smile it off like w.e... and if i decide to try to talk to these women i get like the worst treatment cause in their head they think im small and there's nothing i can do about it and it sucks...

Just to recap... I am 7" BP x 5 (wider-thicker at base) and ATM 6" NBP maybe a lil less due to being borderline obese. I literally have like 1.5-1.75 of fat if I push a ruler hard into pubic bone. And at the time of those stories I was probably more like 6" + NBP definitely was never legit 7" with no fat pad at all I was always at least somewhat above average to lil overweight my whole life but I'm making it a goal to lose every .1 inch of fat pad I can. This is my story and how I suffer from dysmorphia can anybody else relate or want to throw in their 2 cents? Also I would like to note that because of this fucked up perception I hav in my head I'm very anti social and avoid social situations like the plague and especially women...if someone brings up the word 'small' 'tiny' or 'average'. For instance.. or anything relating to penis size for that matter even if it is not relevant to penises at all I still get like panicky it's weird and people notice it and they automatically must assume I have a small penis which further aggravates everything... Let me know what you think and if there's anything I forgot to post I'll definitely post it tomorrow..
This right here is the problem with BBC porn. The false expectations/standards set up are incredibly damaging. Not everyone is a shower - even amongst black guys.

But, you are a grower, and you do have a stealth weapon that stands up when a beautiful lady wants to take a seat, and you already have proof that you're enough. That's a lot of win.

Dicks in porn look a lot bigger than what they actually are. They're also claimed to be a lot bigger than reality, as you saw with the guys claiming to be twice your size. Your size is above average - even in your slight overweight state. Maybe shed some pounds in the gym or with a little cardio to gain that extra inch NBP, but do so while accepting the beauty of what your dick does. And it does its work while erect, not flaccid.

It's rare for flaccid grower dicks to be shown in porn in their sleeping state - I think a lost opportunity, as you'll see with the attached video I found somewhere else. I'm also a grower. My dick's just fine.

Sure buddy good luck lol no disrespect man. I just know the the straight hard ruler goes right on top of the penis not the side and definitely not bp ( some will debate). My opinion man. My apologies sir.
 
I recently came across this very interesting and insightful blog. And after reading many members feelings of inadequacy, and low self esteem was far more than I even imagined! We men depend on visual perception of mostly everything we do. Judging our masculinity and arousals by comparing the next man’s physicality, including the sizes of our own reproduction organs…

Honestly Gentlemen, size doesn’t complete the total man… For me, I happen to be born with an huge outsized endowment, and I’m the very complete opposite of what troubles you with what this thread is about - Having this huge dick that I live with, it truly isn’t what you think of something as to be prized!

For me most of my life, I actually believed I was this freak of nature, mainly due to having a long flaccid penis length. In the past when I was in the gym shower rooms in junior high school, I could see the nude guys soft dicks, and I was always longer than all of the guys I saw from then onwards in life… It confirmed to me that I truly was different. It gave me a serious mental complex of being abnormal, because I wasn’t like everyone else’s size.

Now overall for me on the flip side, after reading the many different posts here, I truly can’t comprehend what it’s like to live with a small to average sized hard cock? I’ll never known this experience; nor will a man which is completely opposite to me…

In 2006 I discovered this LPSG website and joined this great place for me to feel better about myself image a a man. By being here I’ve found a bit of relief about my persona… because some other members that also had extra large sized dicks similar to me made me understand I wasn’t the only one. We would share, and still do, the common problems with our issues of intimacy and sex. and living with a large penis that some men wish that possessed like one for themselves.

Let me be clear, I want everyone reading my remarks now, to know that I’m not here display my huge dick pictures to make members here jealous or envious of my size - I simply wanted other big men to see what I tell them what my actual dick size truly looks like. This place has benefited me the most, by changing my own thinking about myself… By not thinking of being a sad and abnormal man just because of my unusual size.

In my opinion, I truly blame the billion dollar porn industry for this affect, which has caused men everywhere to feel inadequate, simply because they don’t have the bigger dick size. Mainly through the constant supply of porn videos; and the video creators are subliminally making men in general feel less than, by targeting to the average to above average penis sized men.

I do believe the genesis of this all started with the Huge Cock Master - John Holmes. Most men saw his porn films in XXX Theaters during the 1970’s, and were amazed and enchanted by his never before seen huge cock! It was something to desire for and to see in action. However, that industry used this concept to sell thousands of theater tickets then. And soon later in time, the producers sought after other outsized porn actors as big or bigger than John, and the rest is history!

Decides later, with the advent of the VHS tape and the DVD, plus selling them at thousands of Adult Bookstores across America, that also included pay for Peep Show booths; we men became hooked! Either for seeing the hot babes fucking and/or viewing some huge cock, this is costly! That is how their money is made. Decades later we have the streaming platform; it’s never ending cycle of influence to want a big to huge cock thru programming to be like them in these videos

Today the industry seeks actors that are even bigger and larger than life sized cocks! This gives men a false belief that you don’t quite measure up, but you never will - Remember it’s for entertainment. Sorta like a slow brainwashing of wanting and admiring the needed to become bigger like those actor’s sizes are. And after years of viewing porn while masturbating to them, we can come to believe that’s what attracts the hot chicks. You do know they seek and desire a big one, right?

They continue to make tons of money off of us because of this affect I believe - Just look at how much money is spent on: Gadgets to increase your penis size or penis enhancement pills alone… But, they never quite work for you because it’s only for temporary gains. Even after spending hundreds of your dollars for guaranteed results! This industry is dangerous for men that get influenced by believing the super cocks abound everywhere, and if don’t have one as compared
to the them, well you could end up making a post here on this blog.

Thanks for your input, I've since posting this thread changed my thinking in a way. It sucks I'm still hooked on porn but I'm working on that. My belief system is changing because I am getting the truth on this site about actual pornstars sizes, what constitutes a big d, etc... looking back now or when I do watch regular pornstars (not the biggest porn has ever produced...jeez and u wonder why some guys are self conscious) you can see that they are clearly all around the size of abv Avg to big and the outliers constitute less than 1% of stars. I used to believe in porn inch claims past 10" and the whole optical illusion and camera trick be they use but it's obvious nowadays like you said it's just a business and they want your money and they don't care about your mental health
 
Im the same size and seem to be suffering from the same dilemma. I feel small and inadequate .The main difference is I don't think its just in my head. I have some serious doubts about thise size studies and what they say is average, above average, big etc. I seriously entertain the idea that 7" BP might just be scraping the bottom of the barrel of a average or even less. For instance when I was younger everyone of my friends were bigger. Two significantly bigger out of 5 friends. What are the chances unless what is thought to be average is way off.

Unfortunately I haven't had the pleasure of ever being complemented by a woman. Actually quite the opposite. Your experiences do make me feel a little better though. One of my experiences include having a girl suddenly become reluctant to have sex " coincidentally" right after seeing my penis. She was willing as hell right before this. While I have gotten numerous compliments here I can't be sure that its just my pics misrepresenting my size. However a few here have also said I am small and others said perfectly average. Who am supposed to believe?
This is what I believe. Who cares!! Stop worrying about what everyone else has in their pants and focus on yours. If you’re rocking a 7” penis then you are above average. Mine is 7” too and I’ve never had any complaints about my penis. At the end of the day it’s not all about the size. If you know what you’re doing with it then you shouldn’t have a problem. My girlfriend has multiple orgasms almost every time we have sex. And I’m not trying to sound cocky ( no pun intended) but get out of your head man. I promise you that if you’re working with a 7” dick and you said and 5.9” in girth you’re not small. You got me beat by an inch in the girth and I don’t consider myself small and you shouldn’t either. I hope this helps your self esteem some, but really don’t worry about other people who are probably smaller than you and just hyping their dicks up. Your good I promise.

Like what I see in some responses because your born with what you have in any department especially body wise. Women or men who boff at body image aren't worthy of the time of day and for lack of better terms are bullies. Physically I'm average and pride myself on my oral skills but in saying that lost weight and found my phallus got bigger physically because of my pad got smaller [less fat] was kind of neat to say the least! It didn't change my personality and did give me a little confidence but in saying that knew it could change lol. Would say one thing, the woman I was dating came over one day while she was on break and needed a quicky well I was up for that and she climbed on me and proceeded to fuck herself to a frenzy till I felt her pussy tighten up and her shiver with a somewhat large climax. That alone gave me a little more confidence and still never changed me personally. I am in my 60's and anyone my age knows you're not going to change anything and should accept what you have been given. I have a small group of people in my life and hope to find a woman on the same page but know with time passing it gets harder to find her so enjoy your life and use what you have to the best of your ability! Sorry for the rambling!

This video seems to have artefacts of dare I say... video manipulation... So, yes, I'll agree with the growers, even in porn/etc being ultra-rare... I'll call this video out.
I've been seeing a _LOT_ of AI imaging/videos on fakebook (Facebook) as of late, as well, as fake accounts/scams. I've been pretty much been able to pick them out at a glance now.

AI is becoming more popular nowadays and men use it on their cameras all the time and people fall for it so easily they don't even question it. I seen a guy claiming beer can girth but it was obvious the video had been altered but not everybody could see that
 
Another time at work my manager saw me in boxers and said it was small and told his son to come up to me and called me pencil dick.

WTF? First of all, how is it that your manager happened to see you in boxers? And secondly, this is straight up sexual harassment and you probably have grounds for a lawsuit. When did this take place? No way anyone could ever get away with something like that in 2024.

Yeah, sounds like it. Sounds like your were dealing with some sick people. It's crazy how much times have changed. I remember my first job as a teenager was at a diner. One time in the kitchen, the manager was frying up a grilled cheese sandwich on a skillet and smashing it down with a spatula so the cheese spilled out the side, sizzling on the hot surface. He randomly said to me "Hey, come over and stick your dick in here." and started laughing wildly. He was pretty disturbed and possibly a coke-head. But thinking about this now and realizing he was saying this to a 15-year-old boy is pretty mind-blowing. He probably would have gotten arrested in this day and age.
