Penis size: researchers provide the long and short of it

http://news.yahoo.com/penis-size-researchers-long-short-065620878.html

Paris (AFP) - What is an "average" size for a penis?

The enduring question now has a scientific answer: 13.12 centimetres (5.16 inches) in length when erect, and 11.66 cm around, according to an analysis of more than 15,000 appendages around the world.

In a flaccid state, it found, the penis of the average Joe is all of 9.16 cm in length and has a girth of 9.31 cm.

The numbers should help "reassure the large majority of men that the size of their penis is in the normal range," said British researchers who had assembled data from studies where participants had their member measured by a professional.

2. Body Dysmorphic Disorder

It's there in the article.

Beyond that, well, the jokes I see here about "lack of size" relating to ego, even amongst those who proclaim to rail against sexism and gender insults in all forms keep creeping in....

4. well

Well, this question is asked all the time, and usually asked by men who have a smaller penis then the ones with bigger penises. I am not saying it is earth shattering if your penis is not 9 inches long, but for men who are on the smaller side and think that porn penises are all women want, it can be very depressing. Large is not always the best.

5. Here's an old joke

A man and woman climb into bed for the first time:
her: "That's all? Who do you think you're going to please with that tiny thing?"
him: "Me."

7. Smaller?

How big is it?

I am small when soft but it grows when aroused....luckily I am on the thinker side so that makes up for any short comings.

If it's not less than two inches, it's a normal size. You can read about it here http://potencyup.com/what-is-a-micropenis-syndrome-conditions-disorder-and-treatment-options/ . Only a small percentage of men with this condition, so probably everything is ok with your size.
