From time immemorial, men are too conscious about the length of their organ that is hanging around. Psychologically men are too insecure about penis size and researches confirm that men are too obsessed about penis size and many of them worry about it irrespective of having an average size.

Men are made to believe that women are attracted and long for men with long penis. Though it is true that size does matter to few women, but what several sex surveys conducted across the world have time and again proven is that substantial majority of women don't care about the size of the organ, rather they wanted to be with men who are warm, kind, caring and funny and those men who can respect their space, share their values and interests.  

Historically penis has a lot to do with symbolism. Several cultures across the world values penis as a symbol of masculine identity, strength and potency and insult to a male's penis is always seen as a threat to the existence of an individual. More than women, it is men who are too judgmental about the size of the male organ.

For many men, the deeply symbolic and psychological attachment to the penis starts early in the life and cultures reinforce importance attaching the size as a representation of the masculinity making it always a source of great anxiety for men.

It is an age-old issue that many men struggle with. The ideology is deeply ingrained in their minds that it is difficult for men to believe that size doesn't matter at all.  The answer is more complicated. However, the problem is more centered on male's perception than with their partners.

Penis Size: Facts and Misconceptions:

According to a study reported in the journal Psychology of Men and Masculinity,

-          the erect penis size of most men — 68% — is between 4.6 and6 incheslong.

-          Only 16% of men have an erect penis size longer than6.1 inches,

-          for 2.5% of men have over6.9 inches.

-          About 16% of men have an erect penis size that’s shorter than4.5 inches,

-          only 2.5% of those under3.7 inches.

So, scientifically only 2.5% of men can worry about their size, and rest all can relax and feel good about themselves as they have normal size, similar to what their colleagues, peers, neighbours, relatives have.

Psychological consequences:

Men who believe their penis size was too small were less likely to undress in front of their partner, more likely to hide their penis during sex, and more likely to consider themselves unattractive. They will have low self esteem. On the other hand, men who thought they had a large penis were likely to be more self-confident and believe themselves to be attractive.

Women's perception:

Penis size does matter to women, but it turns out that when women talk about penis size, it’s usually about the width, not the length. A very long, skinny penis is not as pleasurable as a shorter, fatter one for most women. Researchers have confirmed that the thickness of a male's penis is what makes women to feel lot fuller - the feeling of fullness that's produced with an object or a penis inside the vaginal wall."

Penis size is not the final determining factor in a man’s ability to satisfy a woman or enjoy sex. The two of the most sexually sensitive areas for a woman are clitoris and G-spot. The G-spot is located at one-third from the entrance of the vaginal barrel. Even with a short penis, the job of stroking the G-spot can be done quite effectively.
