From ridicule to alright, cool.

Hi everyone!

It's good to be here. I'm glad I found this site - which came about through going down a rabbit hole of 7 inches being the reported and boasted average of the country I live in. I'll talk about that later.

My story began with my first sexual encounter at 16 years old where a girl played with my penis. She promptly told all her friends I had a small dick. For the next year or so I had girls saying things like, "I heard your dick is small. Like tiny." and other girls would just ask me to see my penis - like they were really curious if what they heard was true. I measured myself after that and I had a 4.5 inch erect dong (non-bone pressed cuz I had no idea). Even in my 20's I had problems wearing briefs because my penis was like an inch flaccid and would weirdly visibly poke straight out. I remember overhearing my female doctor and a female nurse talking about my penis and saying, apparently in jest, that it was a pituitary thing. This is a gland that has to do with growth. Another time a girl I was going to have sex with saw my penis for the first time and said, "Oh. Don't worry. I'm over my big dick phase." So, at an early age it was imprinted on me that I have a small penis. This was reinforced over the years with my encounters with women.

So, out of desperation I started tugging on my dick. I didn't know anything about PE at the time. But I was doing manual stretching and jelqing. I did this on occasion through my 20's and 30's. Now that I look back, over time, my penis stopped being an issue. My size wasn't mentioned. At some point I started getting positive things. The first was a girlfriend who wanted to clone or create a cast of my penis for a dildo she could use. I actually took it negatively - I felt so self-conscious and that it was really a joke at my expense. But the next girlfriend and others after were very positive, saying things like I was the perfect size for them or that my dick was great.

I always took those things with a grain of salt. And it brings us up to about four months ago. I live in a different country and was having problems with condoms slipping and sometimes breaking. I researched it online and found out that the average penis size is 7 inches here! So, surely, my dick is just too small for the condoms. Right?

The condom manufacturers say to measure your penis. I measure mine and I'm at 5.5 erect and surprisingly I'm 5.5 girth (base shaft). They say I need a condom at least 60 in nominal width. So, I try and buy one and can't. They don't sell anything that big here at regular stores. I eventually find one that size at a porn shop. So, I use it as a lark. And it fits great. Doesn't slide or break. Feels good, too. I do some more investigation and the condoms they have here are just too small. They won't stay on my base and slide down to my mid-shaft and then bunch there and the friction from sex pulls them towards the top of my penis and eventually off.

I think a lot of guys are wearing the wrong size condom. And the 7 inch average here is BS.

I did some more googling and somehow ended up on this site. I started an exercise plan and bought a bathmate a month later. Three months and now I'm at 6.1 inch erect easy and increased my girth. Most surprisingly is my flaccid hang is 5.5 inches! I did injure myself so now I'm taking it easy. Now it's about EQ and good feeling sex. If I gain more that's just a bonus.

So, a huuuge thanks to everyone on this site and I hope my story inspires someone.

Cheers,

Arlos.

Hey arlos,

really nice story and welcome to PEGym.

I've heard rumors saying the only country on this planet that has 7 inchers as average is Congo in Africa. Who knows if it's true.

Young babes around the 20-30 marks can be cruel. I blame the dildo industry pumping out monster dildos that make everyone look like a joke lol.

Nice to see you gained 0.6 inches in three months.

That's really impressive.

I am a mod on a dick site . So far as I know there is no reputable study that shows any country in the world having an average dick size of 7". If you know of one send me a link.

Thank you Alex! I'm very happy with my progress. I want to put it down to increased EQ and maybe tendons or something. I'm trying not to expect the same growth

I moved from the U.S. to Colombia - South America. I did a lot of internet searching and the first results said 7 inches but more searching found a scientific study that had a more realistic average. In the 5 inch range.

As for the babes - I also blame the porn that they watched. The same stuff ruining the minds of us guys.

Man, 8 is my dream goal. You're so close dude!

Yea I've seen that sort of thing cited on the web in various different forms. I don't think it's that reliable. Like here's one of the top ones I found just Google searching

https://www.worlddata.info/average-penissize.php

And some of the figures to me just don't make sense.
Apparently Ecuador has the biggest average length at 17.61 cm, but then you look at some of its neighbouring countries like Colombia and they're at 15.26 cm. So right next door but a massive 2cm difference??
And go along to Venezuela and it's 13.33 cm??

Doesn't add up to me. Maybe I'm massively ignorant about the peoples of those countries and how they were founded and populated, but to me, if there is a genuine genetic variation in dicksize you would surely expect people who live on the same continent and neighbouring countries to be more closely related (and therefore similar in characteristics) than people thousands of miles away, when for most of history overseas travel hasn't been possible, and certainly not at the scale and ease we have today.

Anyway yea, I'd take it all with a big bowl of salt

I's a well know scam done by 2 guys over a couple of beers . They put the counties they were from as big of course

Man, 8 is my dream goal. You're so close dude!

I'm confident to make it this year. I was very lazy in the past and couldn't stick to different routines. Now, at least pe became a lifestyle for me so I won't have to worry about stopping. Pe is all about the long game just like bodybuilding. If I didn't work out for a week or more I feel like crap. Same thing now for pe.

I hope you achieve your goals. Keep the gains coming!

Enjoyed reading about your story, and those are some great gains! I have considered a bathmate myself, I've had a pump before but tended to overdo it and hurt myself, doh! I'm in 2 minds with the bathmate, I also worry that when I have guests around my dog will find it and run up with a penis pump in his damn mouth haha
