Or atleast that's what I've noticed. For aslong as I can remember guys have always exaggerated or bragged about their penis' and it's outlandish size. Maybe it's just me, but I've always been content with my little buddy even though he's maybe 5 and 1/2 inches. And every girl I've ever talked to or ever had sex with said size really isn't that important as long as you aren't microscopic. Of course there are girls who like massive penis's, but I'm pretty sure most would be fine with an average cock. So why are guys so obsessed with dick? It can't just be insecurity, can it?
I think it can be insecurity. My gf loves the size of my penis and it is also about 5.5 inches. It is perfect for her she says. She says that even at my size i hurt sometimes. It all depends on the woman.
Yeah, it's probably insecurity and the fact that the average man has been lead to believe that his penis size is directly proportional to how much of a man he is. Whereas the average woman is perfectly happy with the average-sized penis, men are much MUCH more concerned about their penis size than women are. The number of 'My dick is too small! How can I make it bigger?" threads in this forum attests to that fact.
I personally prefer a larger penis. But if my SO was average or just below it would not bother me too much. A larger penis is nice to look at but only feels good if it's owner knows what to do with it.
I'll vote insecurity as well. I have to admit I've been a little unsure of my size as well, especially since I'm in the 'grower' category. But at 5.5"-6", I think I'm pretty average. My wife certainly doesn't complain, and I can 'bottom out' in her (which she finds painful), so any bigger would not be any real advantage to me.
Insecurity has been booted around here. It has been asked here how big you are and then you say how big you are and automatically everyone assumes you you are insecure just because you answered the question truthfully. no we don't all have 5" cocks, far from it. some are smaller some are larger. And the ones that have a larger one is generally very secure about their size and we also know how to use them.:sf
The reason I think she says this is like heelfetish, I can bottom out "which is painful for her" but not always. So being any bigger would just cause problems. Now she can take all she can get and enjoy it.
