Why do men worry so much about the size of their penis?

Here me out here, okay? I'm of the opinion that you're given what you're given and you should just work with it. So, why do you worry so much about it? Also, why lie about it? I read somewhere that guys add 1-2 inches when telling a girl the length. Why do this? I mean, if you lie, she's going to know as soon as she sees you naked and then she might leave. Why not just tell her the truth and she can take it or leave it? Also why be ashamed of it? Just some questions I have. I guess I don't understand why guys care so much about it. Care to shed some light on it?

Oh, and when I said that she might leave, I was talking about if she were truly that shallow.

  • Much discussion about penis size...and it will always go on, and on and on.

    A lot of reasons...and at the risk of sounding like an egocentric A hole...I have had sex with a number of married women, who are not bashful about talking about what they like, want, desire etc to each other, with regard to the size of a "lovers" penis... A married woman I know/ knew, told her married Girlfriend about the size of my penis, and, the married Girlfriend and I had sex for THAT REASON ONLY. We had sex in HER apartment, (on the floor) and I found out later, that her husband was there...watching from the bedroom door.

    Men's penises size range from the size of a "roll of dimes" when erect, to a length of 8-9 inches long and 6-7 inches in girth. The "average" size ranges from 5 - 6 inches long and 4-5 inches in girth...Women that have a lot of sexual experience know the difference...and men are SENSITIVE to that...and it is not realistic to think that they should not be.

    Women don't fall in love with, marry, or have a long relationship with a PENIS...Mature women are not that shallow...Very young men, cannot get their head around that concept, and probably NEVER will.

    Women suffer some of the same problem with their breasts, and their labia... I know, I read their inquiries about it...

    Sexually active young women...fantasise about being penetrated by a large penis...They tell me that...AND men fanaticize about suckling on those HUGE breasts shown in that 'terrible word' that begins with P and ends with Y...and means dirty movies, and the monitors on this site, for some reason edit to P*rn.

    When a guy takes his pants off, and stands there in front of you with an erect penis that is 5 inches long, and the girth the size of a roll of quarters...how can he not be insecure, or worried about what you think...?

    • You have given a very sensible answer. I see it is psychological. And much of the blame goes to the media. Stupid media.

  • A lot of p*rn, and the fact that guys want everything big.

    I don't worry about what I have. The penis is different from breasts...breasts you can see. The penis is kind of like a "secret weapon"...a guy can build suspense until you unwrap the present.

    But no matter how big your penis is or how small, it generally it's not something you bring up. It makes the guy look like a sleaze.

    • Well apparently lots of guys are blasting this information about and lying about it. So, my main question is why lie about it? I mean, you're given what you're given so why worry?

    • For some guys it's an ego boost...but she's eventually going to see it anyways. Even if it's small, the girl will usually just sleep with the guy because you don't want to feel stupid for taking your clothes off. That's another "checkmark" on a guy's list. Guys lie because they want to feel masculine...and nothing is more masculine to guys than a big d***.

  • Amen sister! I don't see penis size a big deal, like for example say that I fall head over heels for this guy and I find out later that his penis is small it wouldn't change how I feel about him. Work with what you have guys, if a girl cares that much about your penis size then she doesn't deserve you :)

  • I also think guys shouldn't put such heavy weight on their penis size, but since it's the most masculine body part, they think that bigger = more of a man. But like you said, lying about it is dumb, because some girl will eventually see it and know you were lying, and that's worse.

  • Every man I have ben with that told be beforehand how big they were was right on the money or told me they were smaller than what they really were

What Girls & Guys Said

0 11

  • Penis size among men is used by men to judge manliness. If a guy is seen as having a small penis he is seen as less of a man perhaps even not a real man.

  • why do girls worry about breast size?

    I guess guys just link size to sexual arousal and pleasure

    so they think they might not be able to impress or satisfy their partner

    • Trust me, girls feel any foreign object down there. No matter how small. All girls who say they can't are just BSing you.

    • I get that to an extent and I'm not insecure but but 3 inches compared to 7 inches would feel differently

    • Sure, but they'd still feel it and it'd still do its job.

  • You say a woman might leave as if that's no big deal. What if a man left you when he saw you naked?

    • Well...then we'd get divorced...since the only man to see me naked will be my husband.

    • Have you ever been penetrated?

    • Wouldn't one have to be naked for that to happen? Look, all I'm saying that I don't care if the man I marry has a 2 inch penis or a 10 inch one. It's so low on my list of requirements in a spouse. And just so you know, my friends who have had sex don't care either.

  • Because girls care about it.

    Girls are turned off by small penises, so guys naturally lie about it.

  • www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q1556885-do-you-worry-about-your-penis-size

    The answer is "no". Go figure.

  • Well females have their insecurites that blow my mind and blemishes on her face or how her vulva looks is at the top of my list...but I am neither very long nor very big around...and I will admit to some insecurity over that..yet most of my female lovers have been wiliing to come back for seconds...I would not be surprised to find that some woman had passed me over based on sight...but I have had my share... and there is not bitterness in me..lol...at least on that issue...(:(:(:

  • Why don't women tell men what size penis they prefer? That way guys can decide if they want to be with that woman? It works both ways, but women seem to want honestly in only their direction. :)

    But you are right when you say, "You are given what you are given", so why not give that to a woman who prefers what you have?

    • Exactly, so why lie about it? Why not, upon finding out her opinion and what you have to offer, differ, just leave? Why lie? Of course, I never understood why women feel they're entitled to their man having a certain sized member anyway. I think people should just base whether or not they'll date someone on their feelings for that person, but what do I know?

    • If it goes both ways, I completely agree with you. If she prefers a big guy, I won't stand in her way and I do leave. She can find that big guy and I can find a woman who prefers what I have. And you're right, there is no point in lying about it, but to be fair, it's easy to find out if men are lying, but it takes longer to find out if women are lying.

    • What would women be lying about?

  • SIZE MATTERS!

  • The idea that size matters is conpletely illogical and utter bullcrap it's simply deeply rooted in insecure machoculture and pornography and is therefore only an insecurity amongst the uneducated or those who believe being a "real" man is a good thing.
    Women don't care unless they are inexperienced, shallow or yet again, uneducated.

  • We are often told that bigger is better. Then we get the vocal portion of women that are size queens. We don't want to encounter any of that. I think many of us take pride in being about to please a woman, and if we don't believe we have the proper equipment to get that done, we worry. Personally, I'm not that worried about it, but I am still put off by some comments that are said.

  • Men worry about it so much because of the fear of being rejected or made fun of, which is what the media (entertainment) reinforces.
