Docs: Many Men Have "Small-Penis Syndrome"

[Deja Q]

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/06/01/health/webmd/main2876963.shtml

(WebMD) Eighty-five percent of women are pleased with their partner's penis proportions — yet many normal men suffer "small-penis syndrome," urologists report.

Small-penis syndrome is the anxiety of thinking one's penis is too small — even though it isn't. It's a totally different condition from having a truly tiny tinkler, a condition known by the cold, clinical name of micropenis.

(SNIP, sorry for the poor choice of words)

Few men suffer this condition. Yet 45 percent of men want a bigger penis, the researchers find. No wonder the Internet is rife with offers of "miraculous" penis-lengthening schemes.

:eyes:

And, oh look, they encourage us to whip out our tape measures! Damn pervs!

The average erect penis is about 5.5 to 6.2 inches long and 4.7 to 5.1 inches in circumference at midshaft.

What a shame that article won't allow reader comments...

1. I notice that NOBODY is touching this one with a ten foot pole.

7. Uh-oh - I've opened up a can of worms and I didn't even realize it!

Heh heh! :rofl:

3. *touch* runs away...n/t

[Lethe]

4. here's to being average!

a lot of guys probably think that cause all the male porn stars are very well endowed. I mean, how often do you really see other men's penises except in pornography? (ok don't answer that) :P

edit: so nobody but me will admit they actually went and measured?

[bigwillq]

6. That's very true.

Although are alot of average guys in porn too but the large penis sterotype does come from porn I believe. But in actuality, the large penis' like the ones in some porn is rare.

28. CBS's website announced this article is one of their most popular articles!

:kick:


(go figure)

[BlueIris]

31. Good. Maybe now we'll see fewer articles about Small Penis Syndrome:

The Hidden Tragedy.

[realisticphish]

32. For a semi-serious response

I'd hesitate to call it a "syndrome." That word is bandied about so often that I think it loses meaning.

It's more of a simple lack of knowledge; porn and the internet has grossly inlated the perceived average size. If more men knew the actual statistics, it might change things. I see it as simple misinformation, rather than some obsession

[baldguy]

33. Do they still sell Hummers?

[Orsino]

34. But most men don't start Mid-East wars to compensate. n/t
