"I'm always nervous when I'm with a new woman because I think my penis is small. No one has ever complained, but ... I just really worry that she wants a bigger guy."

Does Penis Size Really Matter?

If your inbox looks anything like mine, then you get offers all the time that promise to make your penis bigger, harder, and stronger. And in the face of these hundreds of emails, you have to wonder - does penis size really matter?

The short answer is yes, but probably not in the way you think. Penis size is NOT the all-important indicator of sexual prowess that pop culture would have you believe. Really, penis size is a matter of preference. Some people DO prefer a large penis, while many more value girth over length or "the motion of the ocean" over size. Like with all things when it comes to attraction and sex, there is a lot of variety in preferred penis size.

Before we get to the facts and myths about penis size, I want to share with you my own views on penis size. I think size is greatly overrated. Sure, a few girlfriends have bragged about a nicely plump penis, but it's much less of an interest than you think. I share Goldilock's philosophy when it comes to cock - not too big, not too small, but just right.

The thing is that most guys think they fall into the "too small" category when they're much more in the "just right" size range. In all of my sexual experiences, I have only come across one penis that was too small for me, and one that was too big, and the rest were all pleasurable tools. And I assure you that I'd take too small over too big any day - too big is really uncomfortable! If my experience is any indicator, most men fall into the "just right" category.

So what are the facts when it comes to penis size?

Average Penis Size

The average penis is not like what you see in porn. Exact numbers vary, but the average penis size is just over five inches. Average girth (circumference) is over 4 inches. Only 3% of men have over 8 inch penises; only 2-3% of men have the definition of a small penis, or micropenis, which is defined as being 3 inches or under and about 1 inch in girth. Statistically, not that many dudes are swinging porn-style cocks.

Perceptions of Penis Size

Most men have a false perception of how they stack up when it comes to penis size. One study of over 50,000 people found that while only 55% of men were satisfied with their penis size, 85% of women reported that they were "very satisfied" with the size of their partner's penis. Only 6% of women reported that their partner was smaller than average.

Penis Size and Female Anatomy

The vagina is a very adaptable environment. The average vagina is between 3-4 inches in length, with the most sensitive areas being the vulva, clitoris, and outer third of the vagina. That means that a penis of average length is more than adequate. Men falsely believe that depth is the key to female pleasure, when in fact women experience the most pleasure in the first few inches of the vagina and the clit. That is why girth is important - because it helps stimulate the clitoral area. In contrast, many women find stimulation on their cervix to be uncomfortable, which is why depth of penetration is less important than many men think.

What To Do With a Small Penis

If you feel you have a small penis, there are a few things you can do to maximize your size.

• Make foreplay last. If intercourse isn't going to be the best dish you're serving, then get really good at everything else. Extend foreplay by touching, kissing, and exploring her body. The more aroused and eager she is when you enter her, the easier it will be to get her over the edge.
• 
  
• Get really good at fingering and cunnilingus. If you can deliver body-shaking orgasms before penetration even happens, by cunnilingus, then it takes the pressure off your little man to rock her world. Many women cannot orgasm from intercourse alone, so by developing other ways to get her off, you put yourself above others in pleasuring her.
• 
  
• Try the right positions. There are positions that allow you to go deeper and feel more filling. These small penis sex positions will also increase the stimulation for you. As a rule, you want to try positions that tilt her pelvis toward you, and have her keep her legs together.
• 
  
• DON'T waste your time with "penis enhancement" products. None are proven to work. Even surgery yields little in additional length, and many men report that they feel misshapen after.
• 
  

Penis size is really not as important as it may seem. Make the best of what you have, and enjoy your penis for the pleasure it brings you and others.
