Q. How Do I Measure Up? “All the guys I see in porn basically have dicks the size of my arm. Partly because I’m shy, and partly because I have scars from surgery when I was a kid, I don’t shower in front of other guys and haven’t seen a naked guy since I was a boy. I’m guessing that porn stars are just naturally bigger, but want to know how I measure up.” A. Like you I tend to be shy about my body. And even though I personally would have a hard time with it, I know if we all lived in a culture where our bodies weren’t considered dirty, and nudity was more normalized, we’d all have far fewer hang ups about how we measure up. The first thing you need to know is that very little in porn is “real”, and you should never compare yourself to what you see I porn films. Male porn stars either genuinely have larger than normal penises, or they use tricks to make them look larger than normal. I promise you that with the proper lighting, make-up, pubic hair design, and camera angle, your penis could look like most of theirs. One of the many oddities about penises is that they seem to actively defy all the attempts we make at figuring out which of them is “normal” or “regular”. This is one of the reasons I recommend people not even bother with what the average numbers are. On the other hand, some people find comfort in statistics, and if you’re one of those people, you can read more about what research tells us is average penis size. |
