Penis size obsession

I have this problem too. Back when I was skinny my dick was 7 1/4, at least, that was me at full erection, maybe could get X amount bigger with a cock ring or a pump. Now, usually my max, without pushing into my pad is 6 - 6 3/4 depending on how hard/aroused I am. I also have huge girth. Every girl has commented on it, even a ex pornstar said holy shit your dick is fat. Biggest I ever measured for girth was 6.2. However, when I take a picture, it looks small. It never looks big to me. It never looks attractive or impressive like stuff in porn. This does extend to porn a bit too. Anyone heard of Lena the Plug? I watched a video of hers recently, not to fap just for context, her bf is probably bigger length wise than me, and probably same thickness around but, his dick still looks small to me.

In my head, unless I've got at least an 8 inch+ monstrosity, it feels like a woman will always be disappointed. I've never been proud of a dick pic I've taken. In part because I'm shy, the moment I see it in a pic and I see it doesn't look impressive to me, boner gets killed, so I've never actually taken a fully erect pic before. Some things to take into consideration though. That Lena girls bf is a massive guy, if he were much shorter/had a smaller body, it would look bigger. Its part of why for example some transexual porn actors look enormous. Yeah, they're big, but not all of them are as big as they look, they find good angles and relative to their very skinny/tiny bodies they look bigger, enhancing the effect.

Still an issue for me. I've joined some PE websites and I think once I get to 30 days of Nofap, and have curbed my appetite a bit, I'll try out the beginners routine and see if it can bring me any "gains", temporary or otherwise. I've never measured beyond 7.25 so, if I get over that all, I'll consider it a success.

 

I dont subscribe to a particular regimen. I just do them if I'm standing around not doing nothing. I might knock out a set of 5. Each set hold the PC muscle for 5 or 10 seconds 10X.

But porn will definitely fuck up and distort your body image, more particularly your weiner size. For the longest i was on a quest to grow my johnson with jelqing, but that shit dont work, at least not for me, all the while, no females I've been with ever had any complaints.

 

For some context on size and what women want, google this:
"Women's Preferences for Penis Size: A New Research Method Using Selection among 3D Models"

 

Thank you for the link. It seems to confirm what I already assumed: women are generally more concerned with girth than length, but when it comes to length, they prefer a man to be "slightly bigger than average" though I think that 6.3 inches is quite a bit bigger than average . . .

 

Yes, it might be a bit bigger than average.

 

Damn! My first thought when I read that is "this guy must be twice as big as me" (and yet we all feel small compared to pornstars)!

The article that @tuxy quoted used tapered cylinders instead of penis shaped models, and if you were to treat the penis as a cylinder, then you can estimate the total volume in cubic inches. I probably shouldn't have done this as feeling small can be very triggering for me but here it is:

At 6.0" length and 6.2" girth (r=.99"), your penis volume is 18.47 cubic inches*
At 4.5" length and 5.0" girth (r=.80"), my penis volume is 9.05 cubic inches

So, yes, mine is literally less than half as big, and that's on a short day. This also really illustrates how very important girth is in overall penis size and how length makes less of a difference.

*at 6.75" L and 6.2" girth, volume would be 20.77 cubic inches, and
at 7.5" L and 6.2" girth, volume = 22.3 cubic inches.

Yes, I've heard anything from 5.1" to 6.3" for average, but most studies have average at about 5.5" The study that you linked suggests that average length is 5.5" and average girth is 5.0"

It also found that women preferred 6.4" L and 5.0" G (vol = 12.86 cu in)for a one night stand, but 6.3"L and 4.8" G (vol = 11.55 cu in) for a long term partner. Any thoughts on why women might prefer a slightly smaller penis for their partners?

 

I guess you'd have to ask a woman that. But the study results show no real difference between the two.
I think guys are generally (a lot) more concerned with penis size than women. What does that mean? Well, I think guys should just focus on good strong erections (no porn, minimal (if any) masturbation, be fit, be healthy, etc) with what you have got and enjoy sex with your partner.
