    In this thread, I'm not referring to gay men. I'm referring to ALL men. Sorry if the thread sounds like I'm horny, but I really think the best way to showcase this problem is to be direct but not use vulgar terms. So here's my point:

    Since when it has become so common for men to think their dicks aren't big enough, even if they are the only ones who think so? I believe that finding a guy who's satisfied with his penis (not just the size, but the shape of it as well) is just as hard as finding a girl who believes she doesn't need to lose weight. In the gay community, I see a lot of examples of that. Like I said before, I read erotic fiction. In ALL of them, the guy mentions how many inches he has, as well as his partner. I don't think gay men use rulers before having sex, and even if they do, it doesn't need to be mentioned. Who the fuck cares, we can't see anything!! The same goes for guys who are looking for sex online. If I get honest about my size on ****** or other hook up website, I would never get any dates. Even though, at around 15 cm, it's pretty much the average size detected in researches all around the world.

    Honestly, if I feel attracted to a guy, going to bed with him will be so exciting that I won't even think about how big he is (unless he's HUGE, because I can get hurt). I find penises to look very attractive when erect, and even if your dick is horrible, just think about all the good things you can do with it: you can pee, get an erection, which feels really good, and have wonderful orgasms.

    What else can anyone ask for?

    This is why I'm starting this debate, because I'm tired of knowing boys even younger than me complaining about their equipments. I love men, which means I also care about them and the way they feel about themselves. If you want to love yourself, them learn to love EVERY part of your body.

    Maybe gay men should gather wearing t-shirts where its written "I love my penis on their backs" ;-)

    Well, this is my weird rant for the day. :lol:

    Hahaha amazing post!Im wondering the same,i mean most of the men want to hear compliments about their size no matter how big they are.To me personally..i got so many kinky fetishes that penis does not matter soo much to me.Although i wouldnt like someone with a penis in a size of a shrimp,but i wouldnt like a penis like elephants either :lol: I believe that size matters but not always,to me its not a big deal,since you have so many ways to enjoy sex,and have multiple orgasms with different methods :wink:.

    I don't know why, but it's clear that regardless of sexual orientation, many men think the bigger the penis, the better.

    Personally, I think get turned off by size. Part of that is just due to stories about problems being too big can cause.

    Years back, I regularly changed in a locker room with a guy that wasn't particularly well equipped. The funny thing, though, is that he sticks in my mind because he seemed very comfortable with his body. That is more of a turn-on than a penis so big it makes a baseball bat look like a toothpick.

    For myself, I'm actually a bit under the supposed "average" (or rather, on the lower end). So I'm self-conscious not because I'm not huge, but because I don't measure up to the majority of men. That I feel is a slightly more legitimate concern than just not being porn-star huge.

    On the other hand, from what I understand I'm still big enough that I could satisfy my partner (read: hit the prostate) if I were to be topping, so I'm a little less concerned. It's just something I need to remind myself of.

    No body issues here except some weight loss. Which is happening.

    pssh...total bunk

    I am of slightly better than average size but it works and it's enjoyed....totally vulgar I am sure but I just want to be honest

    I have no qualms whatsoever about size, I am happy...so you can count me as one

    To be honest, I'm not even particularly attracted to penises. I certainly like male bodies, and I don't consider penises to be particularly unattractive, but they aren't what is important. Size is irrelevant.

    Hey, look at me, I'm talking like I've got first hand knowledge of these things...

    I guess some men think the bigger, the better. But I can't really say from hands on experience. *sigh*

    If I magically grew one over night though, I'd certainly not complain about the size. No, I'd be very nice and take good care of it. :lol:
    Okay it got a little weird there, but it's true. xD

    I wouldn't say I'm ashamed, but I'm not really proud either. I've never had a good intimate relationship with anyone, and I think that it's a problem for a lot of us.

    A lot of you will say "oh it doesn't matter!" But you've probably had sex and feel like you can do it.

    It's been driven into our minds that the bigger, the better.

    So, frankly, I think this is a point that just can't be fixed until you actually go through it.

    Sorry. I wrote it without thinking about the implications of it. After all, I do believe there isn't such a thing as an ugly penis. (I'm gay, after all)

    I also 100% echo these sentiments.

    This.

    I don't think guys are ashamed per se, just more so nervous, anxious, self-conscious....Hell pick one. :lol:

    To be honest, I never felt ashamed or feared rejection of my penis size when I'm hooking up with guys. I've had some shares of "malfunction" but I feel 2 guys can relate and it's not a big deal. If I was straight though, I would definitely feel ashamed and embarassed. I feel girls can't relate to the "mind of the penis" so they are more likely to be judgmental. Just my observations.

    Hm. Ok, speaking from experience...

    Never been ashamed or self-conscious about penis-size, although I am of the 'grower not a shower' demographic. Am of average size when that's required (ahem). Find penises extremely attractive and don't understand why any gay guy wouldn't.

    Was in a relationship with a guy who was very well endowed. Visually he was quite impressive. Unfortunately, he really only cared about whether or not he was having a good time, so the novelty wore off rather quickly and then I didn't care.

    Most of the other guys I've been with were around my size or smaller. Had a good time with them based more on what we were doing, how we felt about each other, and how interested they were in whether or not I was having fun too, rather than how big they were.

    To rephrase something I posted here a while back:

    If you're bottoming or giving oral, it doesn't matter how big you are.

    If you're topping or getting oral being average or close to it (in either direction) is going to work just fine for everyone concerned (really big guys make your jaw tired after a while btw. I can get...creative with an avg. guy much more easily and keep going longer without having to pause to give my mouth a break).

    Most anything else you're likely going to do, it doesn't matter how big you are. And there are a lot of possible (and fun!) things one can potentially do :grin:

    My 2c worth,

    Todd

    Most of my straight female friends don't care about penis size as long as they like they guy and he finds other ways to pleasure her.

    I know this doesn't mean much from me because I am a lesbian but I think confidence is the sexiest thing and a guy won't have a hard time hooking up if he is confident and conscious of his partner.

    I do think men on average tend to put more stock into physical attributes, and wouldn't be surprised if somewhere out there were a group of guys who'd run and never look back if someone didn't meet their size 'requirements', though, confidence would yield a larger size of potential hook ups, so it probably wouldn't matter at that point.
