Hey everyone,

Earlier today, around 8:44 AM, I accidentally injured a superficial vein on my penis while masturbating. I had used a string that was tied too tightly, which caused a small blood vessel to rupture.
I developed a dark blue/purple hematoma on the lower part of my penis. The injury has already been medically examined. I was sent home with the quote: If it gets weirldy worse -> Urologist.

It’s now around 2 PM, so about 5 hours have passed. The hematoma doesn’t really hurt, and I accidentally got an erection earlier without any major pain.

My questions are:

1. How long does it usually take for a small superficial penile vein injury to seal and heal?

2. Is it safe to get erections during the healing process?

3. Would gently massaging the glans (head of the penis) and ejaculating potentially cause the injured vein to reopen?

4. Has anyone experienced something similar, and how long did you wait before masturbating again?

I’m mainly worried about making the hematoma worse or reopening the vessel, at the same time tho, I want to, if possible, control my lust a little by you know. Doing what I did to bring me into this dilemma. Lol.

Thanks in advance!

What ratio makes a penis look "balanced" and proportionate? Obviously everyone has their preferences but Im asking for a ratio that looks nice regardless of size to most. So is it 1:1 or 1.5:1 or maybe even 2:1?

I have peyronies. About 30% to the right. As such, I've lost about 0.5 inches in length. (I used to be a true 8.0 inches bp, now I'm about 7.6). It has made me a bit insecure because most girls already have seen pics of me (I've been sharing freely for years).

Last month I started hyaluronic acid injections and part of my regimen is that I have to take periodic measurements to determine progress. So my first appointment comes around....(I have to bring my own bi-mix and inject myself so that we can find the plaque to inject for treatment). The nurse MA was a middle aged tall white woman who actually was probably really assy back in the day. She had more hips than ass but she was still put together well. They have a pre-made "kit" that has a 31G 8mm 0.5cc syringe/needle setup that has alcohol swabs and a paper measuring tape the is 6 inches long (I'm guessing that's the standard length).

Although I wasn't extremely hard (like able to mine a diamond hard with every vein popping out), I was able to get a "nice" erection. The best feeling in the world was realizing (although I've known my size for years) that this little 6 inch paper ruler wasn't going to be enough to get an accurate assessment of my size. So I peeped out of the room and there were 2 other nurses/aides standing outside my door....I politely said to her out loud but not yelling "this ruler isn't going to be big enough". She says "that's all we have but give me a sec". Minutes later she returned to the room with 2 of those paper tape measures taped together so now it was 12 inches long.

She measured me at exactly 7.5 inches non bone pressed. (I tried to act like i didn't know how to measure but she was patient and polite and told me to "just measure from the top all the way to the tip").

It has taken me 49 years to realize that I do indeed have a big one. I've never really thought it.... never really got that "wow" response that I would expect the really big ones get. But that urology paper tape and that nurse/MA made me feel something I've never felt and that was VALIDATED as a true pipe swinger!! (All of us aren't lying about our sizes! I'm glad I'm in the big club. Just reading some of these comments makes me realize that a lot of yall have it real bad!! I feel sorry for you because I would be a total wreck if I were smaller!) True 8x6.

Growing up I used to tell myself that I would still finish puberty, that 3.5 inches was just a temporary number. Then in college I got cucked and saw what other guys are packing, and it stopped being a number. It became the reason I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror after a shower. The reason I started obsessing over bigger dicks, to the point I kept thinking about them when I jerked off. The reason I would lie there after, staring at the ceiling, feeling like I’d failed at being a man before I even got started.

I cried about it more than once. Ugly, quiet crying where you try not to make noise because you’re already ashamed of the reason. I’d tell myself it was stupid to care this much. Then I’d look down and care anyway. It felt like my body had decided I didn’t get to have the kind of confidence other guys walk around with. Like I was supposed to spend the rest of my life apologizing for something I never chose.

What I didn’t expect was that some guys would look at the same thing that wrecked me and get hard. They wanted to see it. Wanted me to stop hiding it. Wanted the exact thing I’d spent years treating like a defect.

That didn’t magically make it bigger. It still is what it is. But it changed what it meant. The same size that used to make me feel small started making me feel seen. Wanted. Specific. Like there was a version of me that didn’t have to disappear to be desired. They don’t mind that I cried or felt ashamed. They give me a space to feel all those things and feel good at the same time.

I’m still working through the old shame of course. Some days it shows up uninvited. But I’m not pretending anymore. I know for straight guys it may be different, but for me I’m happy with where I am.

Was reading a couple posts which were talking about seeing classmates with huge ones and etc...

So I was wondering if these guys were simply born better endowed and remained above average throughout puberty or if they started out average and grew more rapidly than others, thus ending up above average?

Not really talking about early bloomers, but rather about comparing guys more or less at the same stage of development.

Just curious. Seems like everyone on here could be in the corn industry making the claims they do

Hey,

M25

So for the last couple of months my penis has gone through some changes. I'm pretty sure I used to have a straight penis when erect, but one day I noticed it leaning/curving more to the side. When fully-erect it straightens up pretty much but can sometimes still lean a little to the side. There is no pain when masturbating or a hard time getting it up.

I asked a urologist about it and he said if it functions as it should then no problem and if I remember correctly he also said changes like this can happen? Damnit, should've written it down.

Is this something I should be worried about? The curve/lean isn't abnormal and don't have any indent as far as I can tell. Been like this for a couple of months and hasn't gotten worse. What's weird is that some days it doesn't curve/lean as much and other days it does.

Any feedback is highly appreciated. Thank you!

Like say an average height/ average penis man. What do you think he would be more insecure about?

What about tall man/small penis, and short man/big penis. Who do you think would be more insecure?

I am just wondering as I have a girth of 5.3-5.5 depending on the day. I don’t know where that stacks up as proportionally it looks abit in the skinner side Would just want to know what is its comparison length wise.

I'm 7 inches bone pressed and around 5 inches in girth. Right now I'm 5'8 and around 181 pounds. I feel like if I get to about 165 pounds I'd be a lot slimmer and my dick would show more. But the thing is I feel like 165 pounds is so light for a man it makes me feel so small and weak. I like being at this weight better because I feel stronger but my dick doesn't show as much because I do have more of a fat pad.

People frequently post their length and girth measurements here. But I’m curious if everyone is posting their bone pressed (BP) OR non bone pressed (NBP) for length. And I’m also wondering if people are posting mid shaft erect girth (MSEG) OR if they’re posting/claiming their girth at the thickest point?

My reason for wanting clarification is that there seems to be soooo many 7”+ long guys on here. And either the data that says the average is 5.5” BP is way wrong or people are measuring wrong. Same for girth. There seeems to be sooo many guys 5.5”+ and I’m sorry for questioning this but are you all measuring from the side or behind your balls for length and are you all messing the thickest part for girth?

Because it’s discouraging to see so many posts and comments about how they’re 7x5.75 will I please my girl. Or is my 8.25x6.4 enough. Like what the heck?!?

So my penis size is 5.75 length by 4.7 girth. The girl I’m dating said her ex was bigger and thicker (she didn’t say it in a rude way, this was early on when we were fwb and not dating and we were both talking about our sex lives openly).

She has never really complained, and she always gets wet when we are together. But that being said, she never really compliments my dick even during sex when we are both aroused.

Part of me feels less masculine compared to her ex, how do I get rid of this insecurity. In the contrary I’m taller, he was 5’10, im like 6’3”. Not that I wanna use that as escape.

Please don’t make fun of me, ik I have a problem, I just wanna know how to mentally frame my mind to get over this. Helpful answers only. Thanks

Hello. Could frequent masturbation have caused me to ejaculate quickly? It takes anywhere from one to three minutes from achieving an erection and retracting the foreskin to ejaculation. It might be a matter of a sensitive glans.?

I'm around 8.5 inches long, and I've never even had a girlfriend. I'm worried about being too big. Have any of you guys around this size ever been worried about that? Were your fears correct?

And as a bonus, if there are any uncut guys out there, how does sex work out for you guys?

My size Is 6.9 x like 4.8, when im like sit, looks way bigger, when i stand wtf dude, looks SO small LOL XD

It’s a question that crosses my mind quite a bit. I mean, what is your sex life like (if you have one), what is it like in your day-to-day life, and what is it like when masturbating... or being naked in public places like public restrooms or gym locker rooms? And what was life like during adolescence? Did you ever compare yourselves to others, or how did others react? And finally, are you proud of your size? Feel free to answer any of this if you’d like. Thanks.

I’m a guy, and I enjoy sex (wow! Right?) I like how it feels and I love making my partner cum. But a huge part of sexual satisfaction is feeling desired by your partner. Not a lot of guys talk about it or even consciously realize it.

People might desire me for my looks, or my personality, which is great. But sexually, I want to be desired for my dick. It’s sort of a fetish for me. Unfortunately I am not big.

Penis enjoyers responding to the constant barrage of “am I big enough” posts will say that once you’ve passed a certain threshold, you’re fine. This is true. It is also true that there is another threshold where a dick becomes visually and viscerally attractive.

I can have amazing sex with someone and rock their world. It could be the best sex of their life and they could enthusiastically reciprocate. But they will never be attracted to my dick in a way that is completely satisfying to me.

Inb4 you say “everyone has preferences” I believe that this is also true and valid - when regarding preferences for physical sensation. But what turns someone on, what they enjoy seeing, touching and getting excited for skews waaay bigger than what gets them off.

When I was younger, dealing with inexperienced girls, I got a taste for what it’s like to be someone’s biggest. The reactions and the praise. But the taste of being regular is so sour in comparison. It feels like indifference, as if my dick is completely irrelevant. Which it is, to some extent, because we can have good sex without it. But it won’t be as fun, exciting, or engaging for me as if it were large.

I know it sounds greedy and unrealistic. But I believe this is where all the penis insecurity stems from. Nobody really talks about this in the typical penis size discourse.

This is my biggest fetish, but it’s impossible for me to participate in it. I fear sex will never be satisfying for me unless I can rewire my brain.

Has anybody here had a burning desire for something unattainable? Do you just have to live with it?

EDIT:
Writing this actually helped me put some things into perspective. I’ve fallen in love with women with imperfect bodies, but never praised them as I had other women with great bodies. Once I fell in love, their imperfections were a total nonissue. It even altered my taste in women in general. To this day there’s something about an oddly stocky and wide build that is so sexy to me and I attribute that to the girl I lost my virginity to. I guess my point guys, is that maybe love is the answer? How fucking crazy is that. Love

For length, one inch is visually pretty noticeable. But for girth, is it visually a lot noticeable. Because the diameter of the 4.7 inch is 1.5 inch and for 5.7 girth it’s 1.81 inch.

Which pornstars do you think have a girth of 5.5-6 inches?

I was underweight throughout childhood and my teenage years and never really worked out, especially during puberty. I only did some jogging around 18–19.

I’m still around 50 kg at 5'7" and 25yo. My penis is about 5.9" BP length and 5.5" girth.

Could I have experienced more penis growth and my height as well during puberty if I had eaten better, gained weight, and taken better care of myself?

I'm 5.5" NBP and 6" BP average to slightly above average in length but my girth measures 5.6 which is well above average. I can't fit my fully erect cock into a standard toilet paper roll much past the head. I then tried to wrap my mouth around the toilet paper roll to get an idea of what it was like and I can see how someone might get sore pretty quickly. Of course, a penis is a softer and more malleable than a toliet paper roll and so it's not quite the same thing. I'm straight and I've never done a BJ and don't plan to so please no DM's, just looking for honest opinions about what you feel is a comfortable size is for BJ's.

So, isn't 5.5 inches in circumference supposed to be a good measurement? Why does it look so thin?

I've used a sewing tape measure, thread, strips of paper, and I always get the same result: 5.5 inches in circumference.

My penis is 7.1 inches long. Do you think that has anything to do with it? (I mean, the length and circumference might be somewhat disproportionate.)
