The size of the prize
Dr. Rix, I have always been a little shy about my size and my partners have always been bigger than me. Is there a penis enlargement drug out there that will make my penis larger or are they just blowing smoke up our butts. I have asked my doctor if there is such a thing and he told me there is nothing out there that will make the penis larger. What can you suggest. —PP
PP, your doctor is right and you, too, are right about all that smoke up our asses, not to mention all that damn spam in our email boxes. You can’t pop a pill or herb to make your dick actually transform into a permanently larger organ. How do all those late-night info-liars get away with saying “research says it made it grow, blah, blah, blah?” Listen carefully to what they say. Yes, there are now all kinds of drugs and herbs that can help to make you have a hard cock and feel more horny. Is your Love Pump bigger when it’s hard as opposed to when it is soft? Of course— that’s really what they are pushing. Listen for it every time and you’ll discover that they are skilled deceivers. They may say your penis grows, but ultimately they are referring to the size of your piece when it’s erect as apposed to when it’s soft.
I had a Professor in Grad School come to class one day saying he got a package in the mail that had something in it to actually make his dick look bigger. He then pulled out of the package a magnifying glass. The problem, PP is not the size of your Joystick. The problem is our insatiable capitalistic belief that more is better. Why do I firmly believe this? Because just about every guy suffers from the belief that his Pink Pickle is too puny — regardless of it’s size. We are programed by consumerism to never be satisfied with what we have, and it’s bull shit! Hell, I’ve been meeting a lot of big dicked guys who feel bad that their Gravy Givers are too big. We can’t win for losin’! So I say stop playing the size game altogether.
Every study I have read on erect penis size has the average falling between 5.3 and 5.9 inches (13.5 - 15 centimeters sounds bigger). Do you get that? It means that there are just as many tallywackers smaller than these numbers as there are bigger ones. However, who cares what the average size is, cuz, guess what — you can’t do anything about your size anyway.
Of course, all those athletic models that grace the screens in porno movies tend to be on the large, if not monumental size. This is because porno will make you go blind and it gets progressively more difficult to see the thrusting muscle — psych! Just kidding. It’s porno, for cummin’ out loud! Of course they are going to show off the biggest and the most beautiful. The down side to this is that we begin to compare our personal reality to what we see. Oh! But did I tell you: There’s nothing we can do about the size of our Corn Cob so quit comparing and stop torturing yourself.
Besides, I prefer a more bite-sized noodle that fits comfortably in my mouth, not to mention up the wazoo, and I am not alone in this. Got a gag reflex? Quit trying to shove a Redwood down your throat. Bless you for giving it the ol’ college try, but go for something a little more accessible if you have the option. Don’t get me wrong. If you’re into big Trouser Snakes — great! But, did I forget to mention, there’s still nothing you can do to change your own, so don’t even worry about it.
To drive it home one more time: There’s nothing any of us can do to change the size of our Zipperfish, so why put ourselves through such agony? Let it go. Play gleefully with the toys ya got! And you boys out there that like suckin’ on smaller Cream-filled Lollipops, speak up more often, ’cuz you have the potential to be very popular!

As someone who suffers from S.I.D.S. (Small Irish Dick Syndrome) - and is quite happy to have this "infliction" - I can tell you that you either get your head correct on this or live your life thinking and acting ridiculously about it.
Does it get hard? Does it cum? Do you play with it, use it, flaunt it, engage with it, enjoy it?
Better start...that's what it's there for.

Just like there are (big) size queens out there, there are also guys who get into "bite sized" or smaller cocks too. I agree with Joe -- i personally do not want some big honkin cock to try and swallow... I like them more manageable.
Posted by: GT | December 26, 2008 at 07:09 AM
i am in agreement. i am larger than most guys i meet and they all said they are larger when chatting online, only to be smaller.i am 6 1/2 and thick and seem to make my partners happy. i like not to gag when going down on a guy, so yes smaller is better. my current partner is petite and i have to take time when we have anal intercourse. i am quite happy with a mans personality and not his size. thanks for the info i shall certainly pass it on.
Posted by: james | December 26, 2008 at 07:17 AM
I am lucky. I always think of mine as not being big but I am over the average size. I used to tell my x I wish mine was bigger. and he would say if it was any bigger he wouldn't touch it. I guess noone is happy with the size of their twinky. I am 8" and wish it was bigger.
Posted by: Jason | December 26, 2008 at 07:20 AM
Guys be thankful you have the 5 to 5 1/2 inches you have. With age comes all sorts of problems for some people. I developed peyronies disease last year and lost about 2 inches and girth. I not only have to deal with that but also about a 90 degree bend when erect. I am thankful most that I have a partner who loves me no matter what

Sex is "mental." When anyone begins to raise their "intellectus," they will find that much of reality is a novelty reality--what is trendy, what is expedient. Again, we have moved this into our own bedrooms, to be expedient--quck fixes for selfish gains that never fully actualize the moment to withstand its own climatic era.
I have found that most hung men use their size as an excuse for not raising their intelligence--would it hurt? Likewise, most horizontally short men, use their size an excuse to not be a great nor an aggressive lover.
Sensory. Our brain recognizes only symbols and shapes. We are the ones to link and fatally synthesize endowment with pleasure. We have forced the most beautiful and unusual practice of "selfish-love" (which is a good thing) into some type of myopic sensory interplay that foregoes deep brain activity--to appreciate, to undersand and to "know" someone beyond their physical dimensions.
We are a callous nation using callous causes--and we look around and point and say, "Oh my, look at that...what is this nation coming to." The pointer becomes the pointee.
We are the object's subject.

I've been telling people for years that the average size erect penis is 5.5 inches. Finally someone who agrees!
Posted by: Roger | December 26, 2008 at 11:37 AM
Men come in all heights, shapes and sizes, and their penises do, too. What's the big deal? To each his own on preference, and enjoy what you have to work with.
Don't our preferences change over time and with our mood? Sometimes you may want larger, sometimes smaller, but I'm willing to bet that most times men are not primarily concerned with a partner's size.
Posted by: David | December 26, 2008 at 11:37 AM
When I was in High School I had 11 inchs. Then I worked in a Hospital around X-Ray for five years now I have 2 1/2 inchs. If there was a pill you now I would take it.
Posted by: Wayne | December 26, 2008 at 11:52 AM
I am big down there, I have had all kinds off offers for sex over the years because of this and not my looks, It would be nice to meet a guy who likes me instead. Secondly I don't care about size myself as I see it I get whatever that guys has it's called a package deal. You like (or attracted) to a guy you get "him" all of "him". I also wanted to mention the best sex I had was with a guy who was small down there.
Posted by: Louis | December 26, 2008 at 12:00 PM
You can't change the size, but there are a few things that make it seem bigger.
First, quit smoking. Smoking causes blood vessels to constrict and reduces circulation. If you quit, and your circulation improves, you'll get harder and "bigger".
Second, lose the gut. Getting rid of the extra pounds around the waist helps you use what you've got to its full potential.
The best part is that both of these things will improve your overall health.

While Penile PILLS don't work, there are Penile Exercises that do! You can Google Penile Exercises. Be prepared to spend a hr or 2 each day though. It's like going to the gym.
A lot of the exercises are based around what Alex (previous poster)said. You have to have good diet, exercise, musculature, body fat percentage, etc.
What the exercises accomplish is MAXIMIZING your penile size. Think about this: if people in other countries can stretch their necks, earlobes over the course of years, certain we can do the same to the most stretchy part of our anatomy.
The idea that a pill can make you gain 2" in 3 weeks is a bit of a stretch (pardon the pun). But the idea that ongoing daily exercises over the course of several years that can get you an average gain of 1/4" to 1/2" in length and girth per year should be a realistic claim.
Now before you get all emotional (over angry or over joyed) let me step back and say these exercises are designed to help penile FITNESS. Your penis (corpora cavernosa), testes, PC muscles, gluts, etc will be trained. The result will be better better ejaculatory control, higher ejaculatory volume, harder erections, etc.
You can train the scrotum to hang loose instead of crunch up making your dick HANG. You can train the dick to hang while flaccid. Regular blood flow to the organ will make it look more full like people who work their muscles have stronger looking relaxed muscles.
Basically, you'll have a well trained sexual system which is by far more important than a BIG DICK that doesn't work. Knowing you have 6x4 power tool that can perform by fucking as quick or as long as you want, cumming multiple times, separating orgasm from ejaculation from erection from arousal, etc. will you give MUCH more confidence than having a 9"x6" twizzler.
Again, just Google Search some keywords like Penile Fitness, Penile Exercises or maybe amazon.com has a book on the subject.
A Maximized Penis is available for those who are willing to do the research and the grunt work! ;-)

Thank you thank you thank you for this column. I am an average sized guy who really goes for those who are under average size. I wish that we could see those in porn. I'll take a small one any day so that I can spend a lot of time sucking and licking.
Posted by: Scotto | December 26, 2008 at 01:41 PM
For my part, the size of my penis completly destroyed my sexuality.
Compare with those of my dad, brothers, cousins, it looks to a kid one.
It's why for a 27 years'life, I had two sexual partners. And not my dream kind.
Maybe one day I will go through this mental gap...
Posted by: Lilive81 | December 26, 2008 at 01:45 PM
great article. I myself am just under 6c, but I have never had too much issue with other guys wanting bigger cock. I am very passionate though and have never had a complaint yet, actually I am surprised by the number of guys who have asked me to have anal sex with them because they comment I am the perfect size. Its all how you feel with your size, but really doesnt matter to most. good luck guys

Does anyone know if pumps work? I have been told they can stretch the skin and, consiquently, add inches. Is it true?
Posted by: redwinboots | December 26, 2008 at 02:38 PM
Well, I'm larger than most (7" L, 5.75"C), nobody's complained, and I am a "size queen".
I also like a matching personality with similar interests so we can build a life of more than just orgasms.
As much as I love the peen, I like the brain too. Perhaps more.
BTW: Pumps can do permanent harm - I'd recommend not using them.
BTW2: Get and stay fit; your willies will get to their full potential thanks to a stronger heart. I'm not fit anymore and am working to rectify that. Just in case Mr Right does exist.
Posted by: HT | December 26, 2008 at 02:51 PM
I agree with those who recommend losing weight to help your penis look larger. Mine is 6" and when I weighed 160 guys were always commenting on it being "big." Now I weigh 265 and compared to my gut, it looks like a vienna sausage. So sometimes, it's all about perception...

i personally like the small penis. i can have more fun and do more to a penis thats 4 inches. I would love to be able to reduce my size, if i found a way to do it i seriously would.
Posted by: brad | December 26, 2008 at 04:11 PM
I liked this article but do we really need "wazoos" and "gravy pickles"? i mean, really? Call a penis a penis!
Posted by: mike | December 26, 2008 at 04:20 PM
I've learned to become pretty content with my about-average size of 6 inches over the years. The guys I've been with have all been smaller (around 5-5.5) with the exception of one. And I don't believe that it's the penis that makes the man, either.
But somehow, which I don't remember now, I managed to come across something pretty interesting on the net. It's a simple device that has documented proof of adding to a guy's size over time (not a short time at all). It's called the Jes-extender (google it) and it works on the same principle that allows tribal people to have ridiculously large gauges.
When a part of the body is subjected to a lot of stretching on a daily basis, it makes the cells divide (and double). And this little device does just that, with a "double money-back guarantee". Check out the site to see how many hours (1000's) it takes to grow, it's actually pretty interesting.

every man has a extra 3 " they can't see the operation is about 6,000 bucks they cut and release the extra inches this is fact...
Posted by: regulator | December 26, 2008 at 04:58 PM
Well, my size is about 6-6.5 inches in length. Like all the guys before me, I too, always wished for a bigger size dick and wished there was a pill to use to get it bigger. But I agree with most of them, be happy with what you have and also for what you get in the wazoo, because a large broomstick up the butt is truly painful, and I know, I have experience in it, it is not enjoyable! So, better to get a size up your butt smaller then you or the same average size. And another thing, to get the "real thing" is so much more enjoyable then a dildo.
Posted by: Peter | December 26, 2008 at 05:06 PM
In the place where I live, they advertize with these pills, costing about $60.00 a bottle or pack, called Extenze. I'm wondering if I should try it and see my money being worth it or not. And a bottle should last you approx. 2 months and they say, after a couple of weeks you should see results......question is? If it does, how long will it remain in that size and if you stop taking it, will it go back to its original size? Does anybody know?
Posted by: Peter | December 26, 2008 at 05:14 PM
I'm a grower not a shower--it bothers me sometimes that I don't show more--but my small soft one grows to about 6 inches in length and 5 inches around--it works--that's what's important. George

Posted by: jimmy | December 26, 2008 at 06:59 PM
I like my Cock.
Personally – If I met a guy and decided to sleep with him and he had a little dick then I wouldn’t care if he had skills.
It has been my experience that skill is a factor where quality is concerned.
And I have to say – after having a few men with small penises it’s easier to keep going with them than it is dealing with a dude with a huge dick and NO skill.
No skill – is the deal breaker.
The best thing about men, to me, is that they have hands and an ass and a mouth and a brain and maybe some muscles – you know - all that.
Otherwise we’d all be dating dildos – wouldn’t we?
Dildos don’t cause nearly the amount of grief that a boy can. They don’t talk back when they shouldn’t, stay out late, smell like some other dude (another deal breaker) or lie or fart when they shouldn’t or spend too much money or any of that sometimes unsavory crap.
Alas we are all of us – less complete if we stick to dildos and forgo an opportunity to share real love with someone.
Who doesn’t want to be trapped in the men’s locker room with a bunch of hot looking men – like firemen or whatever turns your crank. You know what I’m saying - the kind of scenario which usually entails pornographic sex and a nice white wash to go with it.
It’s true that a nice big 9 inch cock – thick and straight – is always fun to bounce of the side of your face a few times before attempting to swallow it like a sword.
But in the end – it can, like a British friend of mine always likes to say, be punishing.
So if you want to be punished – go get a big dick.
If you want Love – any dick will do.

The ONE that got away didn't know what he IS missing.
I am slightly above average along with most other aspects in my life.
Damn the luck
He has most issues with his Deeny Weeny.
That FOOL!!
I will always love and be in love with him.
(That Stupid Bitch, lol, I KID)
as he does more for me then he will ever let me make love to all of him in eternal gratitude.
All I want him to do is tell me with moans & groans to feel him up to where he needs US to go...
Push & pulling all inches of me with him to bring both of us tied in pretzeled knots to the point of edging again & again...
Where seconds more then momentarily count...
More to where only 3rd & 4ths only are sloppy
for days...
4 days
Is that too much to ask?
Or does someone ele need to Screw some sense into me.

Note to the author: Most men in the world do not have PINK peters. And for those of you who don't understand that statement, the majority of men in the world are not white men.
Posted by: Andre | December 26, 2008 at 09:56 PM
I have gone through sufficient experiences to forward the following thoughts of mine. Firstly, I simply think what matters most in picking a man is his fully dressed expression.Secondly, perhaps the way he communicates. Eventually how he performs in the intimate act will make me feel the desire to perhaps maintain the friendship for more good times or just let him go.
What I do not care is the size of his penis.Infact I always think smaller ones are much more enjoyable to handle.
Therefore, why bother about the penis size. Accept it as it is and it is a GOD given thing anyway.
Posted by: roshan | December 26, 2008 at 09:59 PM
I like how there's people stressing their huge cock, and how they're a size queen, and then go into 'but I'm in it for love, and a relationship!' lol @ your priorities.
I'm hung like a flea, but I can take it like a champ. So that's really all that matters.
Posted by: xtubeaddict | December 26, 2008 at 10:36 PM
I gotta say, I have a small cock (maybe 4.5 inches max), but I'm strangely proud of it. I can play with it, it can get hard, I can get it to cum. What more do you want? Sometimes I think that I may be an anti-size queen, because big cocks actually scare me...
Posted by: hongkong_chinese | December 27, 2008 at 12:59 AM
I'm on 5 inches, and never cared about my size until I met my current boyfriend (2 years and going). He's 8 1/2, for goodness sake!
Posted by: a_spanish_guy | December 27, 2008 at 01:03 AM
I'm about 7.5" and thick. There isn't a chance I'd be able to anally take a penis the size of mine. I've had several encounters where my partner at the time couldn't take it and that'sa real let down when you're hot and heavy for the big show. An average size or even smaller is perfect. A huge penis may be fun to look at but it's a real problem when it's too big to do anything with... Be happy with what nature gave you and be careful what you wish for.

Posted by: Sid | December 27, 2008 at 01:09 AM
I've got a average size cock (or so I think), but I have always believed that as long as it WORKS I don't give a rat's ass about how big/small it is!
I didn't get a choice about the size of my nose, ears, hands, or feet, why worry about something that is seen by less people less often than those?
Love yourself and love your cock!
That's what you were born with, and that's what you'll die with.
Now, go give your cock a single handed hug!
Posted by: Erik | December 27, 2008 at 01:12 AM
The first problem is guys who state they are bigger than what they're actually packing. I'm 7" uncut pretty thick. I'm only disappointed if they say 9 and I see 6.
And then the asian myth which I have endured for a long time. While I don't have to, I start posting pictures of it online and guys are shocked. Just an f.y.i guys, stereotypes can be deceiving.
No matter what the size, if you know how to use it, and it shoots a creamy load, what's the diff?
Posted by: Justin | December 27, 2008 at 01:42 AM
I always thought you could get enlargement surgery. I was thinking about doing it myself a few years ago when i was tryin to get into porn. I know it starts at like $10k but I am sure plastic srugeons can do it. they cut the tendons and when you get hard you are longer cause more of your dick comes out.
Posted by: jason | December 27, 2008 at 01:44 AM
love what we have being thankful what we posses. It is truely right.in this world people are extremely greedy. even for dick want a bigger one than ever. yet the truth is the smaller it is the blood can easily pump them up. and the function is always the same. Mental and mind set always relate with the joy and satisfaction. so love yours and take a good care of it. louisliu pengfei

Well I believe it's not the size that matters but who it's attached to. But on the same hand to say that it is impossible to increase the size is not true. I am proof that it can get bigger. The only reason I tried was to see if certain things worked and I went from being 6" hard to 8" hard so to say there's nothing a guy can do is a lie. Just felt like pointing that out. But it still doesn't matter how big it is.
Posted by: Alex | December 27, 2008 at 04:50 AM
I forgot to ad to my comment that having a big penis is not always a plus when it comes to anal sex, I have on many occasions been asked to pull out because its to big (wide). So yes nice to look at but that's about it.
Posted by: Louis | December 27, 2008 at 04:56 AM
Hello everyone,
First, I would like to say, please leave the author of this article alone. He writes with a great deal of wit and his articles are enjoyable to read. Don't be so critical.
Secondly, I've enjoyed reading the number of responses to the article. I am on the shorter side of average and uncut. So many guys have a problem with size as well as uncircumsized. I can't believe how many guys are unaware of what circumsizion does to your nerve endings. You should read up on it instead of making a face at someone who is not circumsized.
It seems that when I was back in high school and had to shower in gym class, it was made a big deal on size, when flacid mind you, and being cut or uncut. I had two counts against me. Now that I am older and realize so many guys out there can't even get hard, I wonder who really has the problem.
I agree with so many in here who point out the ability to make real passionate love far outweighs size or shape. I'm still looking for someone who knows how to make love.
Regards, Michael
