Howdy!

This is weird I suppose? Anyway, I've had a few girls tell me I'm big, one even continuously telling me I need to switch condoms (which may be a good idea, I need to use too much force to put them on, I think) and when I measure it's somewhere between 18 and 19 centimeter in length, which is pretty much a bit over 7 inches long when it's erect and about 5.5 when it's flaccid. The girth is 5.5 inch at the thickest part (but I go from little girth at the base to quite a bit in the middle).

Thing is.. it doesn't look special at all. On pictures or when I'm looking down. And it's not like I have much of a bulge at all. It all looks kinda 'small' to me.

I've measured like every few months (sporadically) since I was 15 and it's always above 18 cm. I measure at the top of my penis from the tip to the base. Am I measuring it wrong? Am I cheating or is it a psychological thing where it just doesn't look that big to me because it's mine?

No pictures!

Thanks!

I think this is common, it's because your use to seeing it all the time.

I know I'm well hung yet I feel and think I look small even when I know I'm not.

I'm not really bothered by the lack of bulge at all. I was just sayin', my cock doesn't look really big at all. Small even. But when I measure it.. yeah, it's a 7 incher with a bit of girth in the middle. I was just curious if it's a psychological thing or if I somehow measure it wrong.

Judging from the reply I suppose it's a psychological thing, though.

Yes, and that's normal. Well I hope it's normal.

Just remember numbers don't lie. Keep this at the back of your head next time you feel small.

You are big on the verge of huge. 20 CM is just shy of 8 In. 18-19 is 7.25-7.5 The average is 5.9 with standard deviations of half an inch, or three quarters, or something, you are more than two standard deviations away at 7.5 inches. SO ENJOY THAT BAD BOY.

Well I am about the same size (19cm), and I know I have a nice cock and had lots to appreciate that... BUT... when I was a kid, around 12, a school docter once told me I was small for my age and somehow that always stuck to me. Of course years later I started to really grow but still thought it was smallish. Only years later did I understand my friend's joking comments during a holiday... and only years later did I understand I am blessed.

I am definitely a grower and not much of a shower, in terms of bulge or at the urinal I am pretty average, yet I always feel a bit small... it's all in my head cause I know that once in the bedroom people are drooling over it and love its size. So be happy with what you have and use it safe and pleasurable.

Oh wow, thanks for the replies, people. I guess it's just a matter of me having to look at it from a new light.. if that makes sense. When I started watching porn online (9 years ago when I was 12) it was for some reason a lot of porn with the likes of Mandingo (I had this "crush" on Obsession and she did a few scenes with him). I suppose that kinda warped my view on penis size ever since then.....

Weird, though. When other guys with 7 inch cocks posts pictures of them, they look so much bigger than mine when I look at it. No one commented on how I measure it so I don't seem to be cheating and it should in fact be a 7 incher....

What an insensitive thing of your doctor to say at that age. What prompted your doc to say it? You'd think a school doctor out of all people would understand that kids that just hit puberty would be self conscious enough as it is...

Haha well maybe it was small and I was tall I don´t know, it's crazy you remember these things for all your live. let's just say I made up for it as you can see in my gallery ;)

I'm hoping your doc meant your body size cuz it's not just insenstive but a meaningless statement unless you had a full erection which he measured. I've heard about doctors examining their boy patient's cocks as a matter of routine. Unless the boy had a previous injury or a foreskin problem I just find that bizarre (yes there's the hernia/cough/hold your testicles test bit they reach under your gown).

As for how men's cocks appears in pics had a lot to do with how the pic I'd taken (angle of shot, lighting, scaling with objects in the back and foreground and how hard you are; anything less than a 101% erection can really make a difference -but don't hurt yourself-).

As for the whole bulge issue (teehee), a large role in how a guy's package appears has not so much to with size as does position. Some guys have cocks placed high up from their groin. Even guys on the smaller size have great "presentation" especially in a Speedo! They get the 'banana hammock' effect no matter what. In jeans, their cocks get a lift; whereas 'lower-positioned' men get pulled groinward especially if he's on the hung side. Further some guys nuts ( I think younger more often) stay to the left and right whereas some guys nuts rotate one in front of the other or one over the other. If your balls hang low and wobble to and fro and you can tie them in a knot or tie them in a bow and you can sling 'em over your shoulder like an old banjo, well... they're gonna hang low and contribute less to package presentation.

As for being a Shower or Grower...I'm the epitome of a Grower. I'm like 5cm soft and spring to 18 cm. Which for here is positively tiny (I may start a social group called 7Down, a group for guys 7.5 inches and under! But case in point, I think my pics make me look larger.

Also, lookin down on your own penis definitely looks smaller than looking over at some other guy.

Lastly, I definitely think there is too big. Anything over 5.5 inches works for me for penetration sex. Anything over 8.5 I don't need and becomes harder to work with orally but sure do look great. Anything under 5.5 still works great but with my bubble-butt (genuine Italian) it becomes difficult to maintain a 'connection'.

One final thought: I've noticed, as have others, that those with big dicks tend to get a little lazy sometimes, perhaps too used to easy attention and relying on their cock size to carry the day. Which is why guys who perceive themselves to be less remarkable in the genital department tend to work harder in the sack to please. Give me a passionate hot sex session with a guy whose under-hung than someone who can't even stroke your hair while you give a slurpingly hedonic blow-job but has a big 'fabulous' cock, any day!

Exactly how I feel about myself and think. But numbers dont lie. And also proportion matters. I'm 6'2" so in full body shots it may look smaller.

We have almost the same hight and penis size so the proportion thing makes sense as we are both thinking alike.

Haha, I'm 5'9". I guess it's all between my ears. There are times where my erection's bigger than what they usually are and I'm like '...the fuck?' and then it looks really big, but I suppose I've just gotten too used to what I have between my legs.
