Penis Size and Circumcision

Posted on by

A question from Yizreel:

Actually I have a question . Does circumcision have an effect on your penis size ? I’m 13 and want to be cut.

My reply:

Usually circumcision affects on your penis size no more than a haircut will make you look shorter. However, you are losing some skin, so of course your glans will appear to have a smaller diameter. Also, it depends on how much skin is cut off. If too much is cut, the lack of skin may restrict your erections, which may also cause discomfort; and some believe when infants are circumcised, and too much skin is removed, this restriction could inhibit penis growth. But at age thirteen, you may already be close to your full size.

This is an important decision for a guy your age to make. Think about it long and hard. If you’ve been teased in gym class or something like that, it would be tragic to give up your foreskin and then end up regretting it the rest of your life. And by the way, Yizreel, aren’t you supposed to be 18 to be on this site?

Side note:

Yizreel’s age points to an element of the human condition. This site is about human sexuality and the human body, presented in a frank and open manner, subjects we all are curious about once we reach puberty. If our society had it’s way, young people would be starved of this knowledge, picking up misguided scraps of information haphazardly. Our quest to protect young people from what has been labeled unsuitable for their age in effect jeopardizes an otherwise healthy lifelong perspective.

Consider the early American Indians, and various cultures around the world even today, families living in single room tents and huts. Nudity certainly isn’t an issue in these peoples lives, but what about the young people and even the children who wake up during the night and see their parents having sex? Or the ten-year-old that watches his mother breast feed a sibling? Are these young people detrimentally affected. Are they scarred for life? I happen to believe, as a whole, these young people growing up in these circumstances are far better adjusted to what should be the natural harmony of life.

Self-Conscious About My Small Size

This is a comment written yesterday by a man named Jay. Since many of us are walking the same path, I thought I would call it to your attention . . .

Since puberty I have been more or less self-conscious about the small size of my penis. This has not however kept me from enjoying many happy sexual moments with men whose penises have usually been larger than mine. I am now in my sixties, and a new factor has entered my life. I was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate and put on a prostate-shrinking drug. The drug relieves my symptoms (frequent urination) but also seems to have caused my penis to shrink, even though it can sometimes reach the size it had when erect in the past. I realize that some shrinking of penis size is normal as men age. But now when I look in the mirror naked, I see a really small penis and this depresses me (and makes me self-conscious in the shower room).

In short, I pretty well accepted having a small endowment, but now that endowment seems to be becoming even shorter! Groan. I feel that many older men, particularly those on prostate meds, may be experiencing this phenomenon. Sorry to say it, but it does affect one’s self-esteem at least somewhat.

Having thought about this for the past year, I have come to the conclusion that the great advice on this site also applies to me and men like me. Be happy with what I’ve got, appreciate my penis as a beautiful part of me, and pay no attention to anybody who might turn a disapproving eye on it. But let’s be honest: it’s hard to stay positive about this. A loving partner can be very helpful. And I think it’s also helpful to be upfront with any partner, to let him know that “Hey, I’m still in here, still the same sexy guy I always was.” I plan to visit several old friends this summer (who have been sex partners of mine in the past), and I intend to be very honest with them and be proud of who I am and what I still have to offer. We might even have a good chuckle about it, and then get on with all the intimacy we can muster.

And it should go without saying, good sex is far more than penis size. The whole body is capable of amazing sensations and pleasures. The “blessing” in this may be that it de-emphasizes the focus on the penis during sex and leads us to new vistas. Like so much in life—as we grow more mature, we can become more mindful and sensitive towards ourselves and our partner. Good wishes to all who find themselves on this path.

If Jay’s message impacted you the way it has me, your heart has gone out to a thoughtful man. A man in his sixties, based on the all to familiar size matters comments, the jokes and teasing, has endured an unwarranted emotional dilemma by simply seeing his penis in a mirror. The emotional pangs are even present by being with or seeing larger size men. Jay is a man many of us can identity with.

Jay is also a man that has gone beyond the superficial mores of human intimacy so common in those who are basically out for no more than a piece of ass. He has discovered the essence of life’s most valued gift, that sex is so much more than being penetrated by an enormous penis, that human intimacy does not begin and end with a man’s dick.

Reread Jay’s last paragraph. It reflects a profound and basic truth.

I’m Anxious About My Penis Size

I am a male in his twenties and I have been searching for a site that gives an accurate portrayal of the male penis. For over a year now I have been anxious about my penis size, despite the fact I have been in healthy relationships with women. I am a little over 6 inches in length and exactly 5 inches in girth when erect. I know these measurement are considered average, yet I have found it increasingly hard to accept what I have. No women has ever said she was unsatisfied by it, yet I still feel a great sense of inadequacy. If men are reading this who are smaller than I and who are equally concerned about their dimensions then I don’t mean to cause offense, we all have insecurities and this happens to be my greatest one. Are there any guys on here who are content with the average size? I feel like my penis size should be larger as I am 6ft 1,even tho I know height plays no role in penile length. Thank you.

My Reply:

God only knows how many men feel the same way, whether their penises are average size or smaller. Porn is rife with men sporting weighty fire-hoses. Everywhere you turn you’re hearing size matters. Many guys guys have suffered embarrassment in their high school locker rooms. You see pictures of attractive men with their handsome swinging dicks, and you can’t help but wonder what it would feel like to be like them. Is it any wonder? Try as I might, I can’t seem to find the words to put this issue to rest in the minds of many men who feel they are too small, myself included. Alex is a bit bigger than I am … I can see why he feels the way her does.

But then I think about it. What about the pictures of smaller men? Are they not equally attractive? A good many people think so. In fact, many of the hung men I’ve seen are too hung, to dis-proportioned. And I also think about my own personal preference. Though size matters hardly a whit compared to a guy’s persona, had I choose to live my life with a man instead of the beautiful woman I married, I would have preferred a man with a smaller penis. Then, if he saw things the same way, we would be perfect for each other. And consider the countless keywords used on Google that bring visitors to this website; by far the most common are two words, small penis (three times more common than the second most popular). Not average, small. Getting right down to it, the hype has little basis in fact. Intercourse for both men and women is the emotional experience of feeling a man’s penis inside you, knowing what you and your body are doing for him, the connection; not necessarily the means of having your anus or vagina stretched to its limit.

True, some men and women prefer larger penises. But that’s the point. For many others, penis size simple doesn’t matter, or they prefer smaller ones. Just take a look at the following pol. So Alex, if you have a mindset, if you simply can’t look in the mirror and be happy with what you see, if knowing there are countless men and women out there that would prefer you just the way you are, there isn’t much I can say that will change your perspective. But work on it, buddy, things could be much worse.

Does the Length of Your Finger Determine Your Penis Size?

From Global Post

All those jokes about the size of men’s feet…or hands…

Well, new research demonstrates that there might actually be something to the idea that there is a correlation between length…and length.

A team of South Korean researchers studied 144 men, and came up with what may be a reliable guide: the ratio of the length of a man’s index finger to that of his ring finger. The lower that ratio, the longer the penis may be, the researchers wrote Monday in the Asian Journal of Andrology, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The team, led by Tae Beom Kim of Gachon University in Incheon, said it investigated this apparent correlation because it believed there was a lack of research on the male appendage, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. “To date, there have been few studies that reveal why men who undergo normal puberty have different penile lengths,” it said.

The researchers studied the men’s right hands. Digit ratio, or the length of the second, index finger relative to the fourth, ring finger, was calculated. In most women, those two fingers are about the same length, but men’s index fingers tend to be shorter than their ring fingers, giving a lower digit ratio.

The length of the penis was measured both when it was flaccid and when it had been stretched to its full length, according to the Los Angeles Times. Stretched length is thought to correlate to erect length, the researchers said. They found that, in general, the lower the ratio of the lengths of the two fingers, the longer the penis was in its stretched state.

Men With A Small Penis … Chapter Two

How many boys in the throes of puberty look around the locker room and discover they have a small penis, only to suffer an unfounded emotion that haunts them the rest of their lives.  They look on the Internet and see countless pages of well-hung men, and they come to believe they are the only one with such a small penis.  They read articles that declare ‘size matters’, and then they stare into space feeling inadequate.  If this is you, you are reluctant to shower with other men at the gym, to undress with your partner with the light on, to spend a day at a nude beach.  You believe every man you see has a bigger dick than you.

In actuality, you are among the majority of men that have a small to average size penis.  Perhaps you haven’t heard from the countless men and women who prefer smaller dicks, who think they look better and more proportionate, who think they’re more practical and versatile.  In actuality, you are one among some very beautiful men.

The Beauty of a Small Penis

.

A small bird peeking from its nest.  An acorn lost in the grass.  A curious anomaly that protrudes from below the belly that dignifies its owner as a male.  It accompanies him everywhere he goes, lost but not forgotten behind the fabrics of his clothes.  It routinely reminds him of those he finds attractive by stirring to life.  Like no other part of his body, it provides exquisite pleasure. It seeks and patiently awaits new adventures.  To play with it, two fingertips are all that’s needed.  Ah, but what happens then?  It rises and grows, attains lofty though somewhat modest heights.  Three inches or four, some even more.   The acorn is no longer quite that small, rather a nice warm diameter eager to pair with an  accommodating palm.  And just like its larger brothers and cousins, it is anxious to spit and spew a few streams of creamy white semen.  It doesn’t matter if its small, it stands proudly and as stiffly as any other.  The caresses it receives feel just as heavenly.  Its potions just as potent, equally laden with little swimmers.  So who is concerned about its small size, other than perhaps it’s misguided owner?  Who would not be fond of it and appreciate it for all its mystery, other than those few that have locked themselves into the ill-conceived notion that size matters?
