Why are some men so insecure about their penis size?

For example I like 9 inches maybe 8 but 9 is definitely perfect (many black men have this size) and for some reason I get judged and labeled by small dick men. Some men like thin women, some only date certain races.. everyone has their own preferences but I would NEVER judge or give a fuck. Yet I get judged because I don't like small dicks and that's my preference.

  • There are a whole host of reasons. However, believe it or not, part of it is rooted in evolutionary psychology.

    Our male prehistoric ancestors were looking to impregnate as many healthy females as possible. Instinctively, a woman with large breasts was seen as being healthy and able to take care of babies.

    Our female ancestors were looking for a male that could produce healthy sperm to make healthy babies and who could find food and ward off rival males and predators and basically protect mom and her baby.

    There is a lot more than goes into the evolutionary pair bonding process, but that is the starting point. Thus, for the male, a large erect penis was a way - again at an instinctive level - to attract females. The larger his penis, the more likely he could mate with a healthy female.

    Now we are well past our evolutionary starting point, but that basic instinct still remains. It is why you get the gym locker room scene where guys are discreetly comparing themselves to other guys. At an instinctive level it is competition for females.

    Now, to be sure, evolutionary instinct is not the main reason. There are a host of other factors ranging from the cultural - which nevertheless reflects (and tames) that evolutionary pattern - to individual psychology. Every man is a little bit different as we are not merely the sum of our evolutionary development.

    Long story short, at a very fundamental and evolutionary level, in evolutionary terms a man's penis size reflects on his ability to attract and impregnate females. So, suffice to say, to a guy - allowing for individual psychology and culture and such all other things being equal - penis size becomes important and in some guys even a preoccupation.

  • Most tend to equate dick size with manliness and are scared shitless to be found to have a small one for fear they'd be laughed at for it or called, gay, especially if a girl he likes (or any girl, really) makes fun of his plonker. The odd thing is, most girls are only about 4" deep and also scared to take a dick bigger than 6". In a way, it's kinda the same thing as a girl being obsessed with the size of her tits. They seem to think that bigger tits makes her more womanly and attractive. It IS nice to have a girl with huge tits, but there's plenty of girls out there with smaller ones that are much more the catch of a lifetime than some of the ones with bigger tits. Personality is a much bigger attraction factor than tit size. Bigger tits are just a bonus. Having bigger tits CAN be a detractor for a girl, too, if she has a huge pair and thinks she's the best thing since sliced bread just BECAUSE she's got huge tits! It plays with her humility and she thinks the world revolves around her tits instead of her personality and, in the long run, BECAUSE she feels that way, she's left out in the cold. Most adult (mature) guys don't exactly want a girl that's all about herself and her looks. Pretty and sexy are one thing but obsession is another!

  • All guys are insecure about their dick size, if you prefer big dicks then good for you, it doesn't mean a thing to anyone of us your preference, it's questions like this that make guys more and more insecure, especially when there's no need to broadcast what you prefer.

    • You have never known or met me then.

  • Size is overrated... what a guy really needs is cleanliness and a high level of function.. these are the keys to good sex. And there are penis health cremes available that improve the penis in these areas so all guys should be using one... they are basically multivitamin and protein cremes made just for the penis. Keep them in mind.

  • Honestly it’s not even about the size it’s about pleasure if you can satisfy her then your good I mean the penis grows when it’s hard so... lol

    • You look like Kylie Jens

    • @Nathansixfootthree hm is that a compliment? If so then tnx 😂❤️

  • I was dating a 30 divorced woman. I am over 8.5 and very thick. I only saw her about 4 months... then I had to leave the state... she whined and cried to me over the phone for over a year.

    She said no smaller cock could hit the spots mine did

    I would sex her up over the phone but just made her more frustrated.

  • Some men who like big boobs, or skinny women, also get judged, because of their preferences. Many women don't want their guy to have a large dick, as it's uncomfortable, or because they perceive men with large dicks as not being attentive lovers, expecting their large dicks to do it all, and awe the girl. And, no, I don't have a small dick. I'm somewhat larger than average, but not so much so, that a girl would find it a problem.

  • You've made a judgement in thr context of your text... I'm confused.

    Also you get judged by small dick men... Does everyone that labels you drop their pants in orser for a measurement? This makes no sense, also psychologically you do care.

    If you're ready to openly have a conversation, I'll start over...

    Also, am saying this to be straight up, not horrible to you. 👍🏼

  • This is why. This is precisely why

  • They compare it to the donkey dicks in porn

  • it's the same thing as why women are insecure about their breasts.

  • Hahahaha because a penis is what makes a man a man in our eyes and in science. That's the one thing we cannot change and we know how girls are these days very open and sexual social media doesn't help too, just keep ur opinion to certain people and keep to ur BBC ahaha

  • Because those, who do have no other worth.

  • If you saw your brothers penis and he looks scared and embarrassed would you say anything rude or mean to him?

    • Lol no..

  • Because dildos are so big.

  • They watch too much porn.

  • It's simple just math. Most women prefer big dicks. Most men don't have big dicks. So most men are insecure about their penis size.

  • Men who judge and label you are inadequate as people, they probably feel inadequate because of their penis size, but they should learn to actually enjoy being smaller, then they would be more respectful, both to others and themselves,,,
    Personally I find it a big turn on when women only like sizes much larger than mine, I've never had a problem with girlfriends seeing other guys as well as me, as it means they do actually want to be with me as a person,,,

  • If that is what you like, so be it! I am sure that size isn't the only thing that makes sex great to most women.

  • I’m going to be honest: you’re overestimating their sizes by 1-2 inches.

    • Naw she is speaking facts my ex was 9 “

    • @Breeeeeeeeeeeee women consistently overestimate penis size. It’s a well-documented thing. If you don’t believe me, go look up pornstars like Danny D and Mandingo, then tell me what size you think they are.

    • How are you telling me about my boyfriends penis
