When you look down to your penis...

[2322]

I always see a smaller penis than anyone looking at me thats why it's always a shock when it creates such a fuss.

And we can see why! :wink:

When you are sitting the skin bunches up on your stomach so it seems fatter. That's normal.

When not erect I think I look average both looking directly and in a mirror. When erect I think I look above average both looking directly and in a mirror. After masturbating or sex I feel the biggest because the blood is throbbing and the penis is more sensitive, so it feels very heavy...a nice feeling.

Thanks Jason. lol

Eitherway, the reason I made the comparison is because the honest truth is this: when I look down, I see a slightly chubby gut and a smallish penis, but when I look in the mirror, I see a pretty lean, decently defined torso and a decent-sized penis.

OK, here's what you do: Go get yourself one of those fun house mirrors, then everything will look the same from all angles and you'll have a giant chub.

Solved. :biggrin1:

Lemac: Dude, you're fine the way you are. I'd love to have a stomach like yours. Just remember: More than a mouthful is a waste!

I gotta say this about the mirror... for some it's the only way they ARE able to see the little soldier!! (from an old Playboy cartoon)

I feel I look smaller when I look down at mine, as it is on the thick side, but when up beside anonther cock it looks big, thick and long.

I think when viewing it from above will always seem smaller.
From the front, side, or from underneath is what shows it best,
and is what is seen most by others. Close up is even better! :naughty:

I don't often shave my pubes, but when I do my dick looks huge from every angle.

This perception issue is why most guys don't have a good idea how big they are. Sure the majority of guys on this site have actually measured their cock (at lots of stages). But I don't think that's what MOST do. (I do understand that "most" is a statistically oriented statement, and I cannot really say it without data). So, how we see ourselves when we look down at the urinal or shower and how we look in a mirror are two radically different things.

It reminds me about how most of us feel when we hear our voice on tape the first few times. It sounds nothing like the voice we think we have because we always hear our own voice through the bones in our head AND through our ears. It's a distortion as to how we sound to most people. The voice on the tape is closer to what others hear.

Telling ourselves we're closer to what we see in the mirror or picture, or closer to what we hear on the tape is a fine exercise. But better still is embracing what we see and hear in those situations, and working on changing what we can change.

I know there was a guy at my gym whom I thought was built so awesome. I sometimes stared at him in the shower, not lusting (ok, maybe a little), but more admiring. He was about my height, and within a few years of my age, but he looked a helluva lot better than I did. So I was really studying him to see what I wanted to achieve. When I mentioned him to another guy I know, and told him I thought that guy had the total package--looks, build, endowed, everything--he went to look. He then came back and said to me, "Yeah, he's definitely got it going on. But, man," he said, "you're no slouch either. Why do you think guys cruise you in the steam room and women flirt with you upstairs?"

That was an ego booster for sure, but I still set my sights on looking like the guy at the gym, or at least my version of a better built me that resembles him. I think those external goals are good for us.

That's part of the issue I have. My penis isn't bigger than 6 1/2" and I'm like 6'1. I actually made a thread about this, how my penis would look pretty big/nice on a guy your height but not so impressive on a guy with my height. A few people pointed out though that this difference is only somewhat "important" in pictures, but not in person. Afterall, it IS the same cock, it's not going to feel any different for the person recieving it if it's on someone elses body.

Ohhhh - what I'd give to have that extra 1/2" You have.....and even moreso that 6'1" height!
You summed it all up with Your last sentence tho....if You're not a porn model, don't worry about how it looks....just worry about how it works & how Your partners enjoy it.
PS - You look just amazing as You are. :smile:

Hate to get lost in the chorus, LemacST, but you look great!

I think most men tend to see their penis that way when looking down at it v.s. sideways.
