Info Reassures Men Who Think Their Penis Is Small

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Men worried about having a small penis are usually pretty average, but have a false idea of what the normal size is, according to a report in the medical journal Urology.

This best way to reassure men with penile concerns is to educate them, the author of the report says. Men should know that a normal-sized penis is 1.6 inches or more when flaccid or 2.76 inches when stretched out.

The findings are based on a study of 92 patients who went to the andrology department at Cairo University Hospital in Egypt over a 2-year period complaining of a small-sized penis. Each subject provided a sexual history and completed a standard erectile function questionnaire.

Penile length and girth were assessed with a tape measure in both flaccid and fully stretched states. The men were asked what they considered a normal-sized penis and then were informed about the actual normal size.

Study author Dr. Rany Shamloul, at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada, reports that all of the men met the thresholds for normal penis size and did not have erectile dysfunction.

However, on average, they estimated that the "normal" flaccid length should be to be 5.1 inches.

The education and measurement sessions solved the concerns of 79 men. The other 13 subjects still insisted that their member was too short, but with further psychosexual counseling, most were convinced otherwise.

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

I guess what I'm sayin' is if I've got my own life and property,
then your money isn't what I'm interested in ;)
so you'd better have something special for me to give you the time o' day ;)

[sirthomasthemore]

Well najida, with an eye towards the Moderators, lest light heartedness be misconstrued, I concede you argument.

Self sufficient woman, as well as those who aren't, certainly deserve something special before they give any man the time of day.

Size does matter....

To a certain extent, I agree. But often, it is not the size of the wand, but the skill of the magician.

[Feiny]

So says a guy named Joe....unless you gay, you don't really know. ;^)

[CholeraJoe]

GAAAAY? Have you read my profile? I'm about as hetero as FReepers can be. My conclusion is based on feedback from numerous southern belles, California girls, and midwestern farm girls.

[Feiny]

Joe, I was kidding about you being gay.
Girls have been known to lie to men about size not mattering. Normal is usually fine, but tiny is never OK. I went out with a wonderful guy a few times, but when I discovered his micro phallus, I never spoke to him again. I know that was mean & immature....but I was only 22.

[CholeraJoe]

Some years ago, a recently divorced woman I slept with, who had never been with a man other than her ex, whispered in my ear during sex, "My god, you're huge. I feel like an elephant is inside me."

I'm normal sized. She didn't know any difference. Whatever you want is OK.

[Ambrianna]

Though I agree with Joe (and suspect that most of those who disagree have never been with a truly skilled magician) I have to second your amusement at straight men announcing that for us.

[carolinacrazy]

This is where too much porn will take you.

Of course the study took place in Egypt.

Many little pricks over there.

You could have replied:

"Which brother, Stubby or Shorty?"

[Amore]

" 'normal' flaccid length should be to be 5.1 inches"!

Ok, obviously these guys have been watching way-too-many porno flicks.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but if I were to see that sight, like most women, all my brain would be thinking is "ow, ow, ow, run away fast!"
