When It Comes To Sex, Does Penis Size Matter?

The penis size doesn't affect male physical health but can it affect sex?

When it comes to sex, what matters more, size or motion? In society, more people value size. Research shows that the average length of an erect penis is 5.1 and 5.5 inches. The majority of people believe that the average length is 6 inches. 45% of people wish they had a larger penis. Individuals get hung up on size since time immemorial. From the Eiffel Tower to pop culture, the myth is perpetuated that size matters most.

Pornography also lends the belief that the best penis is a big penis. Penile enlargement has become a successful cosmetic business.

How do you measure penis size?

The top of the penis starts at the pubic bone. To fully measure it, place a tape measure from the pubic bone where the penis is attached to the tip of the head, also known as the glans. For an accurate reading, press down fat in the pubic area. If you want to measure girth, measure around the middle.

What matters most

Penis size doesn’t affect health, desirability, or function. Size doesn’t affect sex, urinating, or reproduction. Penetrative sex isn’t the most isn’t the end-all and be-all of sex. Most people who have penetrative sex don’t achieve orgasm with it alone. If you’re insecure about penis size, you can achieve pleasure through other means, such as oral sex or mutual masturbation.

Emotional connection is the most important part of enjoying sex with your partner. Having sex for the sake of routine is a recipe for routine. Being concerned about size can lead to feelings of stress and anxiety. This can cause erectile dysfunction, poor confidence and reduce the enjoyment of sex.

When suddenly experiencing erectile dysfunction, you should see a doctor. It can be because of psychological or physical reasons, and there are treatments to help with that. Erectile dysfunction isn’t common, but every man can experience it a few times within their lifetime.

Can penis size be increased?

Most methods to augment the penis only offer a temporary or slight increase. Pills, oils, and other herbal treatments are mostly cons. One of the more popular methods is the penis pump. This device enlarges the blood vessels in the organ. It makes it temporarily more turgid and erect. Using a cock ring also helps blood remain longer. This equipment is safe when used correctly.

Penile traction devices are also used to straighten a curved penis. Studies show that extended daily use can increase the length slightly.

Massaging the tissues and skin creates micro-tears, making it look bigger and thicker when healed. However, more scientific research is needed to prove its effectiveness.

Surgery and hormonal treatment are the only permanent ways to increase size. The procedures aren’t recommended unless you have a medical condition or the penis measures less than 1.5in flaccid and 3in erect. It’s important to consult your doctor before signing up for the surgery.

How to manage anxiety

Challenging society’s notion that penis size matters most is one of the main steps in helping most people overcome anxiety. Taking the focus off body image and focusing on the connection between you and your partner helps relieve some of the tension.

Research shows that most people in relationships are satisfied with their partner’s penis size. However, you can improve body image by reducing comparisons to others, especially in pornography. Work with your bed partners to determine the most comfortable and pleasant positions during sex. Getting physical exercise will also boost body confidence and stamina. If your body image concerns affect your mental health, consulting a trained psychotherapist or counsellor can help you manage the anxiety.
