I think a lot of us have a warped perception of what an average penis size is for a few reasons. First is porn, obviously. Just like women's bodies in porn are usually above average, men's bodies are too. I'd wager the only thing the director cares about from the male actors is penis size, how else would Ron Jeremy be one of the most recognizable, ahem, faces in the business.

The other is guys are rarely naked around each other. For my father's generation, the guys would all shower together after gym class but for my generation that just never happened. I think without seeing the average size of regular guys we can't accurately gauge ourselves and end up feeling inadequate if we're not the 9 inch monsters we see in porn.

I used to worry too but that was before I was sexually active, I was worried I'd get laughed at and nervous as all hell on my first sexual encounter (I was only 15 and it was with an older girl), but her reaction was nowhere near disappointment. I had beat myself up and worried about nothing but it was because I had a warped view from porn.

We pay a lot of attention to women's body issues but men have a lot of them too.
