Do You Really Need To Enlarge Your Penis?
To enlarge or not to enlarge?
That is the question!
If you’re taking the time to read this then you clearly have some issues about your current penis size – issues that may well be having a significant negative impact on your life. Before I go any further, let me at least put your mind at ease on one point – you’re not alone. In fact, as I’ve mentioned in previous articles, psychologists suggest that about half the entire adult male population feels nature left them cruelly short changed when it comes to the contents of their boxer shorts (to some degree at least).
But despite the very common nature of penis size anxiety, you may find it helpful to first ask yourself a few core questions before you commit to putting in the effort to supersize the little fella: - questions that’ll assess your attitudes and assumptions about the importance of penis size; and that’ll determine whether being hung like a proverbial horse really will make the positive difference to your life that you’re hoping for.
After all, what exactly is the point of doing anything if you don’t need to do it? If for example, your desire for a larger penis is based on inaccurate preconceptions of ‘average’ or alternatively, misguided believes about the significance that the fairer sex place on penile size in relation to male attractiveness or sexual satisfaction, then a few comforting facts may be enough to relieve your anxieties and save you months of effort.
Likewise, if you’re thinking that a couple of inches would make a positive difference to your confidence levels, isn’t it a good idea to at least try to examine the validity of that assumption before you start? After all, who wants to invest their effort in a goal that’ll take several months to accomplish just to find out upon completion that they don’t feel any more confident than they did before?
So, let’s now briefly look at some of the above issues one-by-one objectively – and in so doing you’ll be able to decide whether enlarging your penis is a valid goal for you personally: one that you’ll then be able to say with some certainty that you’re attempting for the right reasons and with a realistic attitude as to the benefits you’re likely to see in return.
Smaller Than Average?
Let’s start by dispelling any false notions you might have about what you should have dangling between your legs in order to be considered of average endowment, because there is always some comfort in knowing that whilst you might not be impressively big, at least you’re not abnormally small.
If you asked a random sample of the population what they thought the average erect human penis measured in length (without letting them dig up the statistics), I can almost guarantee you that you’d get some pretty depressing and/or alarming responses. I’ve ask that question numerous times (purely for the purposes of research I must add) and both men and women tend to give the same distorted responses – they’ll guess the average is around 7 – 8 inches.
Now obviously, if you're currently seven inches in length, but popular culture has lead you to believe that anything less than eight inches is entirely inadequate, you may well have developed a bit of an inferiority complex over the years. Worst still, imagine the ruinous state of your self-confidence if you’ve been under the ‘8 inches is averages’ assumption throughout your life and your little guy struggles to make 6 inches – you’d probably be in a constant state of deep anxiety, with an associated urge to do anything in your power to rectify your little buddy’s stunted growth.
But the truth of the matter is the average size of the human penis, with very little divergence between races is…..a meagre six inches in length when fully erect. This little fact has been proven time and time again, in numerous studies. You will find a little bit of divergence between studies, but not much. For example, the famous Kinsey study placed average penis length at 6.21 inches, whilst a study conducted by Lifestyles Condoms placed average erect length at 5.87 inches.
But the bottom line is that the combined averages of all these scientifically conducted studies into penis size give us a figure of around six inches…..give or take a little. What’s more, most reputable research suggests that the majority of men (around two thirds / 66 percent) measure between 5.5 – 6.25 inches – which provides as close as you can get to an indisputable ‘average size range’.
So do you fall anywhere within in this average size range spectrum? If you do measure around the six inch mark and the above statistics have put your mind at ease, then you may well decide that you don't need to take the idea of penis enlargement further. That's not to say though, that you have to be happy with average…you may decide that you want more, which is entirely up to you – and may well have some benefits as you’ll learn below. But the point is you shouldn't embark on anything, including penis enlargement because of a false preconception.
Women Like ‘Em Bigger?
What about the average woman…is she really more attracted to a man with an eight incher? Will a pendulum for a penis make you a better lay and leave women gagging for more of the same?
An old Durex survey sticks in my mind here which stated that "sixty seven percent of women are unhappy with the size of their partner's penis". But the interesting fact is that we presume that they were unhappy because their partner's penis size was too small. Maybe some of those sixty seven percent were unhappy because they were too large.
But forget for one moment Durex’s alarming revelation above, because a 2006 study by psychologists at the University of California tells a different story. In this study, researchers found that out of a survey of over 52000 men and women, 85 percent of the female respondents said they had no issues with their partner’s penis size. Yes, out of a deep rooted sense of obligation to their blokes, some of those 85 percent might have been telling a tincy white lie – but it’s fair to assume from such a high percentage that most considered penile size to be a relatively minor issue.
That’s not to say that a larger than average penis can’t be a visual turn on for many women; and there's also no doubt that there are a fair few "size queens" around for whom anything less than a barge pole just isn't enough. A 2002 study published in the medical journal European Urology for example, which looked specifically at women’s attitudes penis size, found that 21 percent attributed significant importance to penis length when it came to having a fulfilling sexual relationship.
But from personal experience, I can say that I never had any complaints with my original six inches. Having elongated the old fella to eight though, I can say I've experienced more of the "Oh my God…it's MASSIVE" factor, which does give the old confidence a bit of a boost, particularly when you unveil Mr Jumbo for the first time.
But in the long run, most of the women I've been with have after that initial excitement, been more interested in emotional fulfilment as opposed to showing a constant preoccupation with the size of my penis. None of my relationships suffered when I was 'only' six inches, and I doubt that any of yours will either.
