What Are The Disadvantages Of Having A Big Or A Small Penis?

Penis sizes vary widely. But a large number of men have average penises. Still, there are outliers. These are men whose penises are either too large or too small. This category forms less than 5% of the male population. From both ends of the spectra, there are drawbacks. What misgivings do men falling in these two ranges face? Below are some of the disadvantages of having either a big or a small penis.

Men always complain that their penises are short. So many of them want slightly longer penises.

On the other hand, men with above-average penis brag about their baggage to all and sundry.

In fact, studies have found that men tend to lie about their size. According to a study published in Frontiers in Psychology, men lie not only about their actual penis size but also about their height and this happens more if the men are paid less at their workplace. The smaller the confidence, the bigger the lies.

It is as if the pride of a man is the size of what is hidden underneath his underpants.

As such, we have this impression that most men are always wanting a bigger penis if only they could.

Men are always in a competition amongst themselves. They are always trying to one up each other in the nether department.

Quite funny because it’s not like they can see each other’s actual penis size, right? Men are grossed out by other men’s junks…

But then it becomes a real dilemma when the same men think women would get as excited as them about penis sizes. They want to impress the females.

This is why male enhancement pills and devices are so well received.

MDPI published a very important paper on the social study of people’s perceptions of male enhancement treatments in Ghana in 2022. The study found that although males tend to like the idea of using male enhancement treatments, women actually do not really like the idea due to concerns about health and other risk factors.

So, what is a small and a big penis? Numerous studies state that, on average, 95% of men have penises between five to six inches long when erect.

Similarly, their circumferences are between four to five inches erect.

Only a small proportion have penises longer than six inches and shorter than four inches.

They are just outliers that can brag about having unnaturally large penises.

With that in mind, you can consider men with such sizes as a ‘minority’; they do not represent what is normal and average for the average Joe.

As you can see, most men are actually doing just fine and their penis size is not at all what you would call 'tiny'.

So, what is the deal with wanting to be above 6 inches?

Many experts suggest that such an influence is mostly obtained after watching too much porn, which renders men have this unrealistic expectation of what they see as 'normal' penis size.

A scientific journal published in SAGE Publications suggested that excessive consumption of porn can really affect the male audience’s perception of their body image. This could lead to unhealthy comparisons and cause a negative perception of their actual sizes. Meanwhile, the female audience is hardly affected by porn. Only men would suffer greatly psychologically.

Being exposed to other men’s penises which they are meant to imagine as their own, of course, when they go back into reality and see their actual size, they suddenly think they’re ‘tiny’. This is a misconception of reality.

In reality, men with very big penises are not even that common in the wilderness of society.

There’s also another fact that porn movie makers tend to select actors with very large penises. So, it’s intended to look like that.

Meanwhile, men fear that they have a small dick, but a truly small dick is also quite rare as it could indicate a medical condition.

If your penis is less than 3.5", then you have a genuinely small (or micro) penis.

Believe us, this size is super rare and although it is indeed very small, there is still some knack to it if the man who has it knows how to swing his thing.

What are the disadvantages of having a penis on either extreme of the average? Let's take a look at our overview.

Small penis: Penis size creates significant psychological stress. So having a small penis causes mental distress.

When you are having sex, your range is short, hence you have fewer sex positions that really appeal to your woman.

You can't perform a standing ovation; doggy is slippery, and woman on top is tedious due to limited reach.

Another disadvantage is that a small penis can cause embarrassment. Some women are size queens, and their interests may dissipate on seeing how little you are.

Sometimes, it doesn't even fit well and keep slipping out at the time of need, which could be frustrating to your partner.

In terms of stimulation, some women prefer all-around sensation, including the clitoris, G-spot, and cervix.

A small penis doesn't bring the right amount of pressure on these erotic zones (even though you thrust much harder) and certainly can't reach the cervix. 

Does this then mean that you can't ever please a woman if your dick is small?

Unless you have an actual micropenis, this does not have to be the case and you should not just fall into depression. There are tricks you can employ to improve how you perform in bed.

For one, since your penile reach will be very limited, you need to focus more on stimulating the clitoris with the shaft of your penis.

In order to do this, you need to position your pelvis higher than your partner's, this way, when you thrust your penis shaft will touch the clitoris and this will give your partner a great deal of pleasure.

Before even penetrating her, you need to remember to stimulate the clitoris with your fingers as well.

If you like to give oral, try to lick the clitoris instead of getting deep into the vagina. It’s pretty much the same. Your tongue does not reach that deep anyway.

Big penis. Even though women claim that they love a large endowment, it's yet another psychology.

They like to touch and feel it to get mentally aroused. But handling it becomes a problem, especially during oral and anal sex.

Even for vaginal sex, it may bruise if the session is intense. Most women don't like it when their partners who have a large penis thrust so hard and so deeply that their abdomen gets whacked.

This sensation is painful and can significantly drop their libido.

This situation may eventually make a woman think that sex is a pain in the actual vagina. If they come to associate sex with pain, you’re doomed. She’s never getting excited again.

That's why sex becomes a bit tricky for such men because most of the time they can't thrust as hard as they want. The trick here is to go slowly until your partner gets super wet, too.

With the tip of your penis, you need to stimulate the clitoral area more.

When you do this first, later on when you are inside of her she will be more relaxed and can open up more space to take in your phallus.

But there is still a bit of an issue with the powerful and deep thrusting, so this is definitely something that depends on the patience of the man.

If you enjoy variety and furious sex acts, then a big penis could end up feeling creating pain then excitement.

Lastly, a big penis is conspicuously evident when you erect in a public place.
