Why is penis size so important for some men?

I swear, I never thought about a man's penis size until I came on here and started reading all the penis size questions. So, what's the fixation with it? Why does your size matter, what does it symbolize or accomplish? Is it the whole "large size= masculine".. or what?

  • Its taboo... and the p*rn industry doesn't do the average joe any favors either... according to a study at the university of conneticut... the average erect penis is 5.7 " ... that makes me happy... why? Because i dont feel like a boy anymore... its a symbol of manhood... its no different than females being disgruntled over their cup size...

    • Well women are different... I'm a busty girl and I hate it. We always want what we can't have. I wish I was like a B/C.. B/C girls wish they were a D/DD

  • Yes, it is exactly the whole "'large size = masculine'".
    Guys, even the ones that know better, equate penis size with ability to please a woman.

    • Interesting. Oh, men.. what a mysterious abyss you all are.

    • ... Did you, a woman, just call men "mysterious"?

    • Men are extremely mysterious. You guys do weird shit all the time that doesn't make any sense.

  • It's the thing as a girl's boob, butt, waist &/or thigh size matters to a woman :)

    Like a lot of woman wish they had bigger boobs and/or smaller waist and/or smaller/larger butt etc men have but only the penis to think about (luckier on that count I'd say lol)

    I'm pretty well endowed but though I don't think about it obsessively I sure would love to be 2/3" longer ;) lol

  • The whole thing is ridiculous. It's about as dumb as boob size. My penis (over 5") is probably a little smaller than average or maybe average. My size has had zero effect on my female relationships or my sex life. When it comes to boobs, I have known/dated girls of different sizes. It has zero to do with how I feel about the girl. It is truly difficult to think of a more useless subject that has been more overly-hyped than size.

  • You got it right pretty much. Even though its superficial, its a big part of our "manhood"or our sense of self. Some guys care more than others, it really just depends on the person. I know that it doesn't particularly matter much to most of the ladies so I don't get too worked up about it.

  • Deeper penetration for ensured impregnation, homie.

    • but if you're too big you're just bumpin wall, nigga.

    • Nuh uh. I have seen videos where hot girls look into the camera and shame small penises, as if she were talking to me! There's your proof. Bigger is always better.

    • it's all a scam. the guy below you told me.

  • Some are very insecure and some are genuinely concerned about pleasing their SO. Its just imbedded in guys brains. Try to have patience with our dumb asses.

  • Being cognizant of our penis size (and how it relates to others) is something that's gotta be hardwired into our DNA. It's just kinda an intrinsic part of the male experience.

    It's almost embarrassing for me to admit it, but I know for a fact that if I had a small penis it'd affect my self-esteem quite a bit.

  • for some men that's all they have... They have no real substance or "character" so all that cock is compensating for them being complete wastes of space

  • I don't know really. I'm happy with size of my, and it's not even super, uber huge. It's not the size that only matter, it's more about what can you do with what you have. :)

  • Honestly don't think about it besides size is only half the battle doesn't do you any good unless you know how to use it.

  • Is it important? I think what is important is that a man feels like he can please a woman or many women. From what I have heard thickness is important more than length and as my gramps says "it is not the equipment but the skill of the person who uses the equipment that makes the difference."

  • I know. The penis questions do get annoying.

    Even if it may not be true all guy think that having a small penis will not pleasure the girl as well as having a larger penis.
    And It is a man's job to pleasure the girl. So people with small penises feel inferior because they are afraid of giving the girl an unsatisfactory sex experience

  • Bigger badder penis= like a rpg
    small penis= a pee gun

    So basically bigger is better.

  • Because girls nowadays have a savage attitude. It's like they take pride that they can handle a big fat dick. They get all happy knowing a guy has a big dick and would have sex with him even if he's a complete douche bag. I don't think most girls understand how big a dick really is to begin with. When you ask most girls (from what i've seen on YT) they claim 7 is average and not realize how big 7 is until it's buried deep inside them. It's an ego that some girls have, especially the ones that is on social media acting like thots. Shit like that make guys who are average size feel insecure. I once read a comment on facebook of this girl I know. She broke up with her boyfriend and went on facebook to say he had a funny looking small dick. Another girl, who wasn't someone I follow, but somehow saw her feed, posted a dick pic and humiliated it because it was small. That's they type of shit that makes us guys feel insecure.

  • Its more like u get make fun of or feel embarrassed showing it to ur gf. Ur gf will tease u dat u got such a tiny weenie lel

    • What type of awful women are you dating that they'll laugh at you over something you have no say over?

    • Everything is based on society and meidas dat makes u feel embarrassed looken at urself. Also da cuties on here says dat small size can't pleased them lel and one also says she embarrassed to show his bf naked with their friends cuz his size are small. LOL! It juz amusing x)

  • Because, regardless of how true it actually is, the general consensus is:

    bigger penis = more of a man.

  • It's important for women not men

  • Just like a female with a bigger ass is more desirable to us men but not all women have a nice good looking ass.

    • So you're saying women desire a bigger penis? (just trying to clarify)

    • You're the female, you tell me.

    • I don't care about penis size.

  • Some guys just don't have a lot going for them, so they just need something to be proud of, their dick. Not all of them mind you, some worry because p*rn has told them that a big dick is the only way to get a girl off, or if its not a 10 inch monster all women will laugh at you.

  • Some guys literally get dumped over their penis size, so yeah, it’s kinda important.

  • just to boost their ego. Even when i small penis can satisfy any women some men may think that since they have big penis they can satisfy any girl.
