Sexual self-esteem is incredible important & you’re very wise for checking this out before spending your money. Men often think having a larger penis is important, so wondering if they are smaller than “normal” is a very common question. Unless you are willing to have cosmetic surgery there is no way to permanently increase the length or width of your penis. This is a drastic option with serious potential complications. You might be interested to know that many men who’ve had this surgery say the results are unsatisfactory & if they had the chance would not do the surgery again. Let’s clarify what is normal penis size. Most men, around 90%, have erect penises between 5” – 7” in length. Ever watch pornographic movies & feel inadequate comparing yourself to those men with large penises? Now you know why: they were chosen because they are much larger than normal. Depending upon why you are concerned, you might be surprised to learn some of the following. A good lover has nothing to do with penis size. "Ideal" penis size is often related to a particular sexual activity. For example, even a person who enjoys larger penises for, say, oral sex could actually prefer much smaller ones for anal intercourse. Most women don’t consider a man’s penis size important because they have orgasms more easily (or only!!) by having him perform oral sex on her, NOT by vaginal intercourse. You should also consider why you are thinking about this. Has anyone said something to you? Are you concerned completely on your own? Good sex starts with self-honesty, direct, clear, sensitive communication with potential sexual partners & keeping an open mind. If you have all that going for you, there will be no need to waste your money getting ripped off by useless products or unnecessary surgery. If you are still not content with your penis size I recommend you read Bernie Zilbergeld’s book The New Male Sexuality. In the chapter named What Is This Thing Called a Penis? he writes, “I guarantee you that the size and shape of your penis is not what makes for a good lover.” Thanks for visiting our website.
