Study: Men May Overestimate Normal Penis Size

Researcher Suggests Education to Correct Misunderstanding

June 29, 2005 -- Some men may have the wrong idea about normal penis size, says a researcher in Canada.

Rany Shamloul, MD, studied 92 men who complained of small penis size at an Egyptian andrology clinic in Cairo.

None actually had a small penis. Most were reassured to hear that, write Shamloul, who works at the University of Saskatchewan. His report appears in the journal Urology.

Researcher's Advice

"Men complaining of a short penis can be treated using the basic principles of sex education with objective methods of penile size evaluation," writes Shamloul.

"This combination can correct any previous sexual misconceptions, relieve unnecessary anxiety concerning penile size, and decrease the desire to undertake still-to-be-verified lengthening procedures," he writes.

Case Studies

The men were 19 to 52 years old (average age: 25). None had erectile dysfunction.

Before their exam, the men gave a complete history of their problems. Most had complained about a short penis in the flaccid state (72%) and about a third (28%) complained about a short penis both in the flaccid and stretched state.

They were also told that a flaccid penis is normally at least 1.6 inches long, or 2.7 inches when stretched.

Then, penis size was measured. Because the men had already been told about normal penis size, they knew the doctors weren't just telling them what they wanted to hear.

Most Concerns Eased

After the measurement and sex education, 86% of the men said their concerns had been relieved.

Thirteen men still said they had a problem and were considering surgery to lengthen their penis. They were told to get a psychosexual assessment first.

Three months later, after the assessment, 11 of the 13 men weren't interested in surgery any more. No information was available about the other two men.

Some Worries Traced Back to Childhood

The men were asked when they first thought their penis was too small.

More than half (54 men) said the problem dated back to childhood. That's when they had started comparing penis size with their friends, they said.

Previous studies have shown a similar time line, writes Shamloul.

Misinformation's Sources

A total of 38 men said their concerns about penis size began in adolescence, when they started viewing erotic films and magazines.

"Many men approach the issue of penile size with information based on pornography and misleading hints from their friends and colleagues," writes Shamloul.

The Surgical Option

"Penile augmentation techniques have been described in many reports," writes Shamloul.

"However, supporting data are lacking because no clear-cut indications have been developed," he writes.

The importance of before-surgery psychosexual assessment "cannot be emphasized enough," writes Shamloul. Psychosexual counseling is "very important for these patients to avoid postoperative discomfort."

i think the point of this thread was to see if you dgn guys really care about the size of what you actually have in your pants.

Like do you really care or not how big or small your particular penis is?

Does your particular size bother you? and why or why not?

Never had a complaint, so I rarely think about it. Every once in a while I wonder what it'd be like to be truly BIG.. Then I remember that it wouldn't fit so nicely in other places... Hehhehe.

It doesn't matter to me, really. I know I can still "git 'er done" with what God gave me. And I have some skills to work with. As long as the "she in my life at the time" is happy, I'm happy. Having stamina doesn't hurt either. :whistling

As long as your fingers are longer than your ding ding, it's good.

I don't go to the Sex thread very often. So I didn't see any other post. I read this article and found it rather interesting. I also thought of it as a 'help' type article rather than a sexy one.

[bean]

It's all about the skillz.....seriously..... :woot:

[Homicidalheathen]

Good fingers and tounge make up for it however.....I can get that from a girl.....and don't like plastic....(dildos') so I prefer a man who is at least 7 to 9 inches not bigger or smaller.

Lord knows I understand that one. I don't need to be any bigger than I already am. All too often I would run into being TOO big for the girl i was with and end up running into her cervix or something... :erm Guys who are smaller don't realize what they have, they don't run the risk of hurting the girl, not to mention it makes anal a little easier.

[wheresmypiggy]

If I had a dick. No matter what size. The worlds asshole would be sore.

It is all about the delivery. I have had a smaller man hurt me and a larger man never hurt me, although a larger man can do more damage if he wants too, but why would he? If it is bigger it feels better but as a experienced S/M B/D player internal injuries are not cool. Keep the pain to the outside of the body and in certain areas.....

I really like a guy who is in tune with a woman. That is what counts.
