Why are men so obsessed with penis size?

I understand that there's the stereotype that bigger dicks are preferred but I dont get why men are obsessed with it as its not true with every woman. Can you guys and girls shed some light on this?

  • Some women feel more confident with larger breasts. Some women are just fine with the smaller size of their breasts. In some cases, breasts are not perfect, they can come in many sizes and shapes. Some women get correctional breast enhancements to fix the size and/or lack of size. Most of the time, its about the confidence the woman needs.

    Well the penis is the same for men. There is a lot of pressure for men to have at least a decent size penis. So many factors come up when talking about the size of the penis. Some times, men measure pride and bravery with the size of their penis and/or balls. A man feels more confident in life based on the size of their penis. So this affects a mans attitude and personality. This also causes rifts and behavior issues between males. At times a man with a smaller penis, feels he has to make up for his size in money, anger and/or showing off. So really a mans life can be directed by pressure and/or size of a penis.

    Lastly, women. Women can make changes in their body to satisfy their confidence. As explained in breast augmentation. Though, a man is stuck with the size of his penis. This is something he has to life with, this is his best friend and he can't just say, oh well ill get a larger one. So step one is acceptance. Then based on the size, most men will act out what they feel best based on their size of penis. Women also dont make it easy for men with smaller penises, as they feel left out and/or made fun off. Imagine, someone tell you, your labia is a meat flap and looks like a bomb blew it off. Hurtful and distasteful, but still a surgery can fix. Yet again, a man is stuck with his penis. Its one size, and that one size must fit all types of vagina. Hoping and praying the person you are in love with, accepts the size of your penis. Hence, why its such a huge thing for a man. :)

    • MHO right here.

    • Why thank you good sir!

  • Well, imagine two men of equal sex skills. One has more girth and just a bit more length, enough to make you feel fuller and more satisfied. Which experience are you going crave more?

    It's not that size is everything, we just know that if all else is equal, size separates the best from the typical. Many of us aspire to be sexual virtuosos and provide an experience for our lover that will override our deficiencies in other areas. Although money is important in a relationship, nothing makes a woman more tolerant of our BS than a good dicking with a penis that fills her up better than anyone ever has or ever will. We've all seen that unmatched couple. A beautiful girl with a goofy looking guy with a banana in his front pocket. She's not after his looks, that's for sure.

    The fact that this is for the most part, an unrealistic expectation is why insecurity persists.

    • Honestly I prefer smaller less girthy penises as do many of my friends based on what I've been told by them. So while I in a way understand what you mean I also disagree that thicker always equals more pleasure. Every girl has different nerves and ideas of what is and isn't pleasurable to them. Too much of a stretch is very uncomfortable to me and removes the fun of sex. I do agree with your last statement though.

    • Is your butt rather big? Just wondering.

  • I think guys think we're all bothered because of the comments that some people make or what's on films/ adult films, but guys should know that we're not all bothered. I mean, I can't speak for all girls but it doesn't bother me. I'm a virgin so I guess some would say I haven't really got an opinion but I wouldn't break up with someone because they thought they were 'small', I'm sure we would be able to make it work. I hope that just being with him would feel good, & if I like him enough to sleep with him in the first place I wouldn't make fun of him or anything like that. As far as I'm concerned what goes on in the bedroom should be a private matter between two people, it's people who openly talk about what they do & criticize people that may cause insecurity or the idea that size matters. I would hope that a guy wouldn't judge me either.

  • It's the same reason that us women are known to obsess over breast abd butt size. We are all told bigger is better and want to attract good mates, so we obsess over being able to attract those mates.

  • Guys do brag a lot but their genitals but so do woman.

    • But why do you think that people think the size of their penis matters?

    • I don't think it does. I just thinks its funny when they brag.

  • Men are obsessed with penis sizes for the same reason women are obsessed with their breast sizes, because of the stereotype that bigger breast sizes are preferable.

    There is no logical reason behind these. Only insecure people obsess with their penis/breast sizes.

    • No there's logical reason behind. Heightism not THAT has no logical reason to it.

    • Why do you think this is?

  • Because women want sex with the guy they are emotionally attached to. They care more about emotions while males care more about physical appearance. Naturally.

    Then the other reason is that penis size does matter in regards to maximum pleasure. Sure a small/average one can still be pleasurable, but many guys wonder if a big one can. A big one does have more potential to be more pleasurable, so it makes sense.

    One last thing females care about their physical appearance just as much or more than guys do. "Am I too fat?" "How are these measurements?" "Are my boobs too small?" "Do you like a girl with a small butt or a big butt?" and a really really good one "Do white guys like black girls?"

    • @bubble_tea

    • haha.. yeah.. I wonder why girls are so obsessed with their boob sizes xD

    • I disagree that men or women naturally care more about personality or physical appearance but I digress. Is your second point about being more pleasurable to the one taking or giving the pleasure. And i also completely disagree with your last point. 100%

  • girls aren't obsessed? i thought girls were the ones who are LOL

  • it's called insecurities.. women have them too.. is my boob too small? are my feet to large? are my lips too thin? is my booty too fat?

  • I can tell personally, I obsessed over it all the way into my mid 20s. It was because every guy in p*rn was huge. Then I found out that's not the norm, I'm normal.

    And then I realized that women almost never care, as long as it's not like a micropenis. And I was fine.

  • Women are obsessed with breast size.

    Both are obsessed with height for varying reasons. And weight. And appearance in general.

    For the penis thing - it's a physical indicator (supposedly) of how masculine you are, just as breasts are of how feminine a woman is. This is complete horseshit, but people still worry they don't mess up if their dick/boobs aren't up to 'standard'.

    • Why do you think this is?

    • They think it makes them less desirable to the opposite sex, and less able to please them.

  • I am fine with mine thanks

    • Thats awesome. Im happy that you are happy with your genitals :)

    • genetics and self-confidence FTW

  • Probably because of p*rn .

  • Society has seem to deem bigger is better. There is also the idea of vertility.

    • Interesting. So people think bigger means more virile?

    • Yes and know. Evolutionarily speaking it seems to look that way. Consciously we know it does not mean that. Think the longer it is the better chance of getting pregnant. Personally it is tied to attractiveness for me. I think it is for some men too. I see it as how some women are obsessed with their breast size.

  • One bragging rights, two they automatically assume that the bigger it is the better it is for a woman during sex. I could care less if other men have a bigger penis than me or certain woman prefer a bigger penis than what I have. I'm proud of the size I was born with.

  • It's our very own play toy that we've had since birth.

  • I don't obsessed.

  • Sex life is important and since it's something that can't be changed and society sheds lots of subliminal importance on it. That's my best guess. When I was going through puberty I used to measure frequently and when I became above average, I stopped measuring.

  • Same reason girls are obsessed with having big boobs/butt

    • Which is what?

    • It's what's seen as better in our society.

  • Most women would choose 5 to 6" over 4". So, as a guy with 4", of course it's going to psychologically affect me in a very deep, negative way. I'm sexually unattractive to most of the female population of the world. How would that make YOU feel?

  • Some men yes. Me? I have 2 inches and I flaunt it!

    • Lol.

    • Step aside bitches while I bang my neighbor's hamster.

  • Now is not the time for dick measuring

    • Said it right after telling the guy he's fully checked him out before letting his daughter live with him. Lol.
