Katiecav, there's a sexist subtext to your question.
If you google "female body image" you'll find thousands of sites devoted to making women feel comfortable with their bodies. And deploring how women are held up to an impossible ideal.
Google "male body image" and you'll find a lot of articles which say how surprising it is that men, nowadays, might be even a little worried about how their bodies stack up. The first such article quotes a snide remark from a woman: "I think it's only fair that men get a taste of what it's like to be us." Meaning, I guess, that she wants even attractive men to be insecure about how they look, the impression they make, and the gifts nature gave them.
Even incredibly attractive women seek reassurance that they're desirable. They get it from female friends, and seek it from their (often exasperated) partners.
Men need some reassurance that they're OK, too---all of us, gifted or not. But in our culture, we're told to suck it up and get over it. Thank god there are places like the LPSG where we buck the trend.
Katie, if you've ever asked your boyfriend "Does my bum look fat in this?", and he's told you that it's a stupid question because you're an obviously attractive, desirable beautiful woman so stop being silly, then you know how we feel when somebody says "why do you need a large penis support group?"
