Are men obsessed with penis size?
It's not just their own size that bothers men - they're also concerned about the length and girth of other men's penises. After all, a four-inch penis is not a problem if every other man you know has one that measures just under three, is it? And this, really, is the root of male penis angst - the fear that the next man possesses the kind of meat and two veg that makes your tackle look like a button mushroom.
Sex therapists are always telling us that size doesn't matter, it's what you do with it that counts. Yet as much as most men would like to believe this notion, there's always this nagging insecurity that their willy is not up to scratch.
Many myths surround the male genitalia. Black men are always massive, oriental men have penises the size of cocktail sausages and Dutch men can keep going for days. Strange, considering that no one seems to be sure what the average penis size is meant to be. Some reckon it's five inches. Some say six. Others, gulp, claim it's nearer to six and a half. And please help us if we discuss size with a European man - exactly how long is nineteen-centimetre penis anyway?
So yes, all men are inherently concerned about the size of their penis - in the same way that many women have issues with the size and shape of their breasts - but exactly how much does it bother them? Most learn to accept what Mother Nature blessed them with. After all, a penis is something you're stuck with for life. Unlike a puny body that can be built up with weights, there's no gym to help build up your penis. It's enough to make your button mushroom shrivel even further.
