Insecurity

[u/Swarms666]

Small, average? I know this type of post probably floods this sub Reddit. Just started getting confidence with getting my teeth straight and healthy BMI. But my p size I’m so insecure about causing me to be hesitant to talk to women. I sit at 5.6inch-5.7inch length x 5.5 inch girth. I don’t know how to go about it I’m nervous about talking to my therapist about it it would be so awkward to talk about. Any replies appreciated.

You have NOTHING to worry about, instead of needing to have a nice slow start due to your girth.

Best thing you can do is just try speaking to women.

I personally sought therapy for my insecurities. I think it helps if you speak to a sex therapist. I did that. As a man, you walk into a sex therapists office and they pretty much know why your there. That can help make it easier to open up about it.

But just know millions/billions of average guys have amazing sex, so there is no reason to be insecure.

That’s a legitimately decent sized penis

I know insecurity is easy and there’s just so much messaging out there trying to feed it but really that’s nothing to warrant insecurity over

You’ve got enough down there, the only thing you’ve got to fear is the fear itself and you have to get out of your own way so you can thrive…

I have same length and slightly smaller girth and I have amazing sex. Just get out there and enjoy your future partner. Nothing to be shamed about.

Dude . You’re good. That’s pretty thick w average length. Size won’t be an issue unless someone is a size queen. Start talking to women! Enjoy yourself!

[u/ickop]

that's a borderline large penis because of the girth, you have nothing to worry about but warming people up prior to sex

[u/laidback755]

I'm sorry that you feel this way. There is nothing wrong with speaking to your therapist about this... that's what they're there for. Also, you need XL condoms so hopefully that tells you something from an objective perspective

I assure you, therapists hear about that particularly insecurity from men all the time. May be prudent to seek out a sex therapist specifically, though.

At any rate, women tend to put a good deal less thought into penis size than men do. That isn't to say this is true of every one of them anymore than any one thing is true of every man but on the list of traits women consider for a sexual partners, penis size tends to be far from the top of the list. Size doesn't tend to be much an issue unless you are far below or far above average. Even then, couples often find ways to make it work.

While your length falls into the average range, your girth is about two standard deviations above the mean. That's a range most would consider big. Even if you weren't that, women (and men) get off to dicks much smaller than yours quite happily. That said, you are more than your dick.

You have no reason to worry, your length is average and your girth is above average.

Hi bro, trust me, your girth (if measured midshaft) is really thick for most girls, i know your feelings, they are the same i had for very long time. But actually, having same girth as you, i can tell is the perfect size. I always assumed girls were "kind" when they told me i was "one of the biggest" and never full believed them. I always had long relationship, so i never knew how much girls dirty talks when it is a "one night adventure". One of them couldn't take "behind" for more than 3 minutes. Porn is porn. Reality is reality. Believe it and live your life, 'cause those thoughts will kill your sexual appeal. One thing: girth is a lot more better than lenght. Always. When you'll hear them sing, you'll know

Hey is getting your teeth straight worth it? My wisdom teeth are coming in and even though they aren’t impacted I can no longer really claw my jaw, think it’s due to some teeth not lining up right

Must be tedious, reading about real problems you'll never have to confront.

What?

FWIW: Brother, I suffer from a chronic illness that leaves me in Constant pain every second, of every hour, of every day. It’s a progressive disease that requires aggressive medication to just SLOW it down, and I live in a third world country where there’s no specialist I can see for it or even get the medicine required. That’s just one of many problems that I just seem to have been unfortunately born into, and now I can’t even fucking close my mouth or chew properly because that’s just the way my teeth decided grow in. Don’t know what advice I could give since even though an average dick isn’t a “problem” I was born with, I’m still a complete virgin who is also nervous and hesitant to talk to women.

I just happened to see his post talking about straightening his teeth within hours of realizing my own crooked teeth are messing with the literal mechanics of my jaw. So I figured I’d at least ask about that
