Back in those days, smaller was better, hence why none of the statues of that era were well-endowed. That said, I would be interested to know when and why this changed.

I came to my own conclusion that smaller was better for fighting because a larger size would hinder battlefield or wrestling performance. The Greeks did wrestle in the nude, afterall.

Thank you for posting the link to the study Akkarin. That should help for people who are actually interested in learning more about this. However, I am not as concerned with my penis size as I am with the discussion of the topic.

Snowy, I agree that at first glance, the topic doesn't seem very appropriate, but when I saw how much activity it generated, I couldn't help but open it to see what all the fuss was about. Your comment about this being a church sounds a little biased. Did you meant that certain subjects are taboo in church at large? Talking about penises and vaginas is not vulgar unless you have a dirty mind. :whistle:

Adi, lol. (edit:at your first post, I mean)

Proteus, I hate to admit it, but I feel like there is truth in your post. Sensationalist drivel draws people's attention away from topics that have more of an impact on more people's lives.

Goken, I don't care how big your penis is. Your mind and heart are yuge. That's all that matters.

My priorities are centered more around becoming a better person spiritually. I am no more concerned about my penis size than I am my eye color or my height. It's just one aspect of my physical body which is simply a vehicle for my consciousness. My body is just a tool that I use to accomplish my will on Earth. But then again, I'm weird.
I have met men who feel insecure about their penis size and I always tell them that women are not nearly as concerned about it as they think. But then, I met a guy who has an unusually small penis. I mean, there is no way to pretend that penis size doesn't matter to this guy. He knows it's tiny and he feels like it's a real handicap. What do you say to something like that? This study would only confirm his fears even more. With science telling him that he does indeed have a tiny penis and society telling him that size matters, he's really screwed (or not as the case may be). All I could do is remind him that most women are more interested in who you are than your penis size and the women who are concerned with penis size, are probably not what he's looking for anyway.

I have another friend who has the opposite problem. He loves showing it off, but it's actually a liability when it comes to sex. His main complaint is that he always has to be careful when having sex so that he doesn't hurt the girl.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that penis size is a lot less relevant than most men think it is. I would like to see a study that shows how relevant (or not) penis size really is when it comes to propagation of the species.

This is very much a real concern, there are those who have gotten reductions because of this very thing. It can be very hard on a man when he has to hold back and constantly be mindful and not really get into the moment during the act of sex because of that. One can not just let go and let things take its course and get the full enjoyment of sex because of that. It can be crippling, and not something very often talked about. Especially in relationships.

Please forgive me if this is taken out of context but a man is known by his... fruits, leaves and bark are only descriptions that make the fruit. When thought like this... we are our actions and speech rather than our thoughts... in this case that self displeasure, comes from a unhealthy train of thought that can lead down to places of self despair. Very dangerous when you see it that way. Wouldn't you warn a loved one if they were in danger? I would and so will I teach the man cub and my family well. The power of the individual!

I have seen it instantly turn friends to shame filled rage with the passing of one insensitive comment, though.

I think its grounded in instinct. "Am I mate worthy?" etc

When your primary genetic objective is put up as inadequate, it threatens a life of forced celibacy, at least, in the lizard brain.


Is it instinct, though? Or is it societal preconceptions of manhood?

In nature, an animal's worth as a mate isn't linked with penis size - they usually have some other physical marker/ritual to display.


Actually, It Is...

The Penis Size matters to alot of species as it follows the survival make up of procreation of strong, healthy off springs. A small penis means the seed must travel farther to the female egg than a longer one. Scientifically speaking longer a seed has to swim, the less potent it is.

As a result, it is natural for both Men and Women to question - Directly or Indirectly - such subjects when choosing a potential mate. And when a Male is asking a female out on a date for the first time with potential benifits questions of "Being Good Enough" is a jarring experiance for all young adults.

Yes, this is a church, and he is a council member, and maybe there is a serious reason for posting this.

However, all that aside, does this being a church mean that no one should have a sense of humor?

I thought it humorous more than anything myself.

Not sure what made me think of this but as I was reading through this thread I recalled a murder case from many years ago. Martha Dinkey killed her husband with an axe. To say he was a very abusive husband would be an understatement. At her arraignment she plead guilty despite her attorney pleading with her to shut-up and let him try and make a deal.

The judge asked her if she was sure she wanted to do that and advised her to listen to her attorney, but she said she was guilty and would do it again if she could.

The judge accepted her plea and set the case for sentencing. He told her he had a question but she did not have to answer it. He said, "You chopped off his head, you chopped off his arms and you chopped of his legs. How could you Misses Dinkey?"

So much for eleven benevolent elephants and pirates private property. How about saying pearly penile papules three times fast. At least this is an issue that something can be done about. They can even be removed at home.

This is YouTube but shows a real penis. Not animated.

A slightly different spin...

It almost doesn't bear saying, but I can only imagine how many fight, or all out wars, have been fought over this fragile masculinity of ours. We can be such paper tigers.

Moving on...

Let us say, for the sake of arguement, that my body conforms exactly to the description in the article. That would make me average; presumably adequate.

And in some many ways, in so many spheres of my life (we're no longer just talking about men or our penises) I cannot bear to be adequate. My ego cannot bear it.

In school, I was told that a C meant my work was average, but that average was halfway to failure. Bad math, there.

Walk up to someone and thell them, "You are unexceptional." Those are damned near fighting words.

I hear things about the Gray Masses, the Herd, The Sheeple, and I have met relatively few people who refuse to describe themselves as exceptional in some way. One is especially smart, athletic, funny, or something.

I wonder what it might take for me to overcome my own fragility that being basically average does not terrify me?

I think the discussion is about maximum possible size, not minimum possible size... I mean it does have quite a range. And further while there is maximum size, their is also even a maximum maximum size, lol. So I think its more psychological not so much about comparing themselves to others, but their partner's experience and preference. As I've never known guys to compare each other overtly, and so I guess its about possessive characteristics of dominant sexuality over ones partner... so often attributed to being 'alpha'. Which considering the nature of the vagina, all seems a bit silly, I mean it is a pretty flexible piece of hardware, both of them. Do any guys really know what women actually enjoy anyway? I mean we all have a rough idea
:lol:

That was my first thought, who wants to be normal anyway!!?

Or rather, why wish to be different.... but asking the question doesn't mean you cannot ask it or indeed wish it, heck or even have surgery to change it apparently. I guess it depends on what the partner prefers the most maybe, I dunno, strange topic Akkarin

This is a little off topic but there is a website where women can upload pictures of their breasts... the purpose being to show other women that there is no such thing as 'normal'... every person is different... same goes for men.

I remember that picture. :) It is true!

Dosn't stop people from feeling the way they do though XD haha. Me for example....I don't want normal or perfect...I just don't want to feel heavy and broken like I often do. Back aches, shoulder aches, neck aches, sleeping comfort, self esteem (Wearing size large shirts because of my breasts when my waist size is medium XD)....it all adds up. It may not be exactly the same physically Breast vs Penis. But the Insecurity is similar ^_^
