Hi guys....I'm like the rest of us here. I like measuring, comparing, studying, thinking about, talking about and admiring my nice penis! BUt whenever I read te threads on this site I wonder....why do we care so much? It's certainly not because our partners will like us more, because that's a very small minority of people. Do we feel more dominant? Do we consider it a surrogate of our abilities in this world?
What do you think?
Heck, deer compete on antlers. When the penis really is a surrogate for a guy's masculinity and, somewhat through social norms, a good portion of his sexual identity I would imagine there would be some degree of competition. At the least, it would be good to be told you are superior in this attribute.
A more practical view might be my own experience. Being a straight guy, I have had a limited number of times - five, to be exact - when I have been in a sexual situation with other guys where a comparison of erect organs was inevitable. By sheer luck I was the biggest in these groupings each time, by a significant margin twice. I can tell you that I got a little charge just out of being the "stud male." Even better was swapping and knowing that you were fucking the other guy's girl deeper than he could.
One other thing, which I hope you excuse if it is mildly creepy. Cock size has certainly grown as a fetish. You can even see that here with some of the weird posts that are cleary just the masturbation fantasies of probably smaller than average guys. Many, many guys covet what I've got. Poor bastards. Like my ego needed another boost.
