When did you realise you were over average and what did it change into knowing it? (18+ only)

[deleted21211041]

I am uncut and that was very unusual where I grew up, so I was shy. However, my cock got a great deal of positive attention in school from both sexes. They wanted to see it and measure it. All of a sudden, I loved my cock. This attention made me the exhibitionist I am today!

I was much older and faithfully married to my wife before I actually read the stats and realized I was a bit longer and more girthier then a lot of guys. Wish I had known it earlier because at one point my wife needed to go off the pill and we bought regular sized condoms (didn't even know there were sizes), but neither I or my wife could get the damn things on!!! As for what knowing I am above average means for me is simply an ego trip to enjoy. Didn't change anything between me or my wife (I did proudly tell her one day "how much bigger" I was).

I was in my mid 20s. I was bored and spent most of the morning rubbing one out. There was a ruler on a nearby table and I decided to measure. I hadn’t done that since high school. 8” shocked the hell out of me. It definitely gave me a confidence boost and made me a little bit of an exhibitionist. I no longer cared who saw me in the locker room.

In my locker room and gym experiences throughout my entire life, everyone was average, as everyone was always flaccid. Looong before the internet, and even VHS movies to watch on VCRs, the only way to watch porn was in adult theaters, or by buying hardcore magazines. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, there was actually a wide variety in porn actor sizes, with John Holmes and Ron Jeremy being the ones that stood out as being huge. But even the average to smaller porn guys looked huge on the big screens!

When reading Penthouse Forum and Penthouse Letters, all the guys described themselves as being 8, 9, or 10 inches long, so that was 'big' to me.

In the early days of the internet, one of the penis size research surveys was published online which has average size being between 5 and 6.5 inches. Some other studies said 5 to 7 inches was average. At a solid 7 inches long, I thought I was average to the high end of average. Most of these early studies didn't have girth numbers, but when those were finally published, it confirmed what every woman has told me as a compliment - "You're thick!" "Huge!", "Big!"

Real world:
When I became sexually intimate for the first time (18+) she said I was huge. I found out later that she had ~30 men before me, so when she kept commenting on my large erections, I believed her. Because of her experience, my time with her was invaluable in building my sexual skills and confidence. When she told me I was one of only a very small handful of men to give her orgasms, that was a huge ego boost. But in that case it wasn't my dick, but my mouth, lips and tongue that drove her to explosive orgasms.

When the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. women I was with all also commented on my size, it did give me confirmation of my larger size, and the confidence that I could please them (and I did!)

I was assigned one of those books during sex education. I swear it said 6" at the start of puberty. I measured under this so it had the opposite effect on me. I was pretty devastated. Felt like an outcast because of it.

I was also told that 6 was average growing up. It wasn't till later in life that 6 average ment 6 erect not 6 soft and flaccid.

I was 21 maybe 22, my older sister's best friend Tammy was about 10 years older took an interest in me. Tammy was known for being a real slut who was known for multiple partners and gangbangs. She seduced me and we became frequent fuck buddies. She would bragg to my sister and her friends that I was bigger than almost anyone else and that I was 1 of only 2 people who made her pussy squirte just by fucking alone.

I did not realize I was bigger than average until I was 20 yo. I had never had sex, yes I was a virgin. Someone had made arrangements for me to lose my virginity. She was probably 12-15 years older that me. Right after exposing my erection she made a comment that I was very big and would make some woman very happy someday. Of course this had a big effect on my ego. Fast forward many decades and two marriages later, one ended with the death of my wife the other in divorce. Both marriages resulted in much good sex. Again I was single. I began to play the field. I have had sex with many men and women. Comments have been made repeatedly about my "huge" size. I have been with people who have been around the block a few times. I cannot begin to tell how many times the comment has been made that I am the biggest they have ever seen. WOW! What an ego boost. I am now partnered with a man who is 70 and he has been active in the gay community for many, many years. He tells me he has only been with 2 men bigger that me.

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing.

in my formative teens, the porn industry was possibly at it's worst in exaggerating size, John Holmes was said to have a 14 inch penis and there was Long Dong Silver with his crazy fake cock. As others have said, "average" was often quoted as being 5-7 inches (that's a very big range), also, girth was rarely mentioned, it was all about length when I was young. So when my first girlfriends told me that my 7.5 x 6 was the biggest they had had, I thought they were being kind or that they were inexperienced. I am a shower rather than a grower too, so so back in the day before privacy shields were in place at urinals (I hang at over 6) I can honestly say that I am not sure I can recollect standing next to a guy with a bigger flacid cock. However, for many years I thought that everyone else was "small", that I was "average" and that 'big' guys were in porn.

I would say that my warped perception of my own size only changed when I found this site. Only then did I realize the extent to which photoshop and various porn tricks had miseld me. I have got a bit bigger over the years down to some pretty obsessive PE but in some respects I can't belive how late it was in life that I realised how lucky I am, and how my lovers' comments were genuine (I used to say things like "sounds like you have been unlucky in only meeting guys who are small") All that said, its my charisma, looks and confidence that's enabled me to sleep with so many beautiful women - dick size is my obsession not theirs'. But I guess on this site I am amongst many who are exactly the same.

From experiences through camp and sports I figured I was a little bigger than most of my peers, at least soft. One day the library was pretty empty so I had the balls to find a book on sex and anatomy and read that the average penis was 5.5" erect. I knew I was already past that so I just figured the book was old or wrong (or that maybe I didn't know what erect meant). Years later I was hooking up with an older woman (35ish at the time) I met in a bar. When she pulled out my dick she said there was no way she was going to be able to blow me and that I could try to fuck her but she'd rather just give me a handy. I figured the women I had been with before just weren't experienced, but she confirmed I was well above average. It was good news and bad news at the same time.

Didn’t realize it until I was 52 (55 now); always figured I was pretty average. Was looking online for comfortable underwear and stumbled upon r/bigdickproblems. This led me to CalSD, where I plugged in my numbers and discovered a new reality.

(Oh, and pouch underwear, as well!)

 

[DiomedesXVI]

Kind of a multi-stage thing, that when I look back in hindsight, I’ve ALWAYS had a big dick haha.

First realization is at end of high school, just started to hear how big my manhood is from others during play. But I didn’t take the comments to heart. Always been a modest guy.

Second, is when I hooked up with an ex gf. First time we did it, she only had regular condoms. They were a very tight fit, but we went with it anyway. I just could not cum, maybe because a mix of first time jitters and now knowing that condom was strangling my meat haha.

Anyways, I ended up getting her to cum but not cumming myself. Come to find out, the condom had pushed itself off my dick because the condom was too small while my dick was too big. So, I pulled out to find that my manhood was fully bare, and I had to dig deep to find the condom I had shed inside her haha. After that, we started buying magnums and big sizes.

Third and last revelation was that I moved to Japan, had a fair number of hook ups, heard a fair number of “omg it’s such a big dick”. I had begun to thought of it as certainly an above average size, but not as truly large as it really is haha. So, still hasn’t fully internalized what I was being told, that my dick is a huge piece of meat.

Until, met with a fwb, who was jerking my big long fat cock around, and he just happened to say “man your dick is so heavy”. I’d never heard that, interestingly enough. And it just caused something to click, because I thought, well why would anyone lie about saying my dick is heavy. Ultimately, that made me realize that every other comment I’ve been told about how large my wood is, was genuine too haha.

So here we are.

 

[halcyondays]

lol... when friends started calling me kickstand

At first I was embarrassed to be teased for it especially in front of girls.

Later I liked that it made some girls curious or interested in me.

It didn't change me into anything.

I lived in Japan for a number of years but was with my fiance. Was pretty popular with the local women (as most western men are) so the now wife always jokes I'd be on the next flight if she left me. Now we know my 7.5"er is not normal, I'm daring her to try (not really...but)

Ha! I was called kickstand by a small circle of friends too! It wasn't very often, but still. Seems like that nickname is pretty popular for high school.

 

[bonerjams03]

I’m average length hard, and pretty small soft. I didn’t really think about my girth until I joined this site. Before learning I was thick, I had terrible experiences with how regular condoms felt, because, well I assumed I was average based on my erect length.

 

[james_lo_mejor]

Not until I was 18 when I lost my virginity.

My brothers and I compared our dicks and I was the smallest. So I always though I was below average.

However, after hooking up and showing it to more ppl it turns out that I was below average in my house only lol and above average everywhere else

One time at band camp.

 

[pbmonkey]

When I was about 23 or 24 I hooked up with a "cougar" she was 41
The first time she felt my equipment through my jeans.
she said " Wow your cock Is huge! I have to see it!" We then went to her place and started to fool around . She instantly went for my crotch and unfastened my pants, and yanked them down. She replied, this is one of the biggest cocks, I have ever seen!
"Trust me I have been around the block a few times!"
On a Trip to Reno one time me and a buddy decided to see what an Asian hot oil massage was all about. I am in one room and
my buddy was in another, During my session when the happy ending time of the massage happened, The girl giving the massage removed my towel and her eyes got big and she just stood there staring at my tool. Then she said accuse me I will be right back, she quickly left, then came back with another girl and they both spoke to each other in their native tongue, for a few seconds,
The new girl in English said to me that the first girl was startled a bit about how big my penis was and wanted her to help massage me also has she felt that her hands where too small and four hands would be better.
I laughed about that one later!
These two times are the most memorable.

Actually, always dismissed all the comments from women, complimenting me on my size as politeness. I always assumed I was average and didn't take much interest. I stumbled onto this forum and CalcSD, and Reddit's BigDickProblems, and I couldn't deny it any longer. I'm somewhat hung! How cool! Other than having some fun online, it hasn't changed my life. Had I realized earlier, maybe some more confidence would have been helpful in meeting women? I'm happy with it.
