Penis looks extremely small in pictures/mirror

[onetwothree4 Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close onetwothree4]

I'm about 6.3 inches BPEL and 5.2 inches girth. About 5.9-6 inches NBPEL

I guess that's average but when I look in the mirror from the side or take a picture from any angle it look like it's no bigger than 5 inches. I've read on here that it's supposed to look bigger when you look in the mirror or in pictures and small when looking down but for me it's the opposite. When I look down it looks like a good size.

I've seen pictures of 4.5 inches that look the same as mine, so I'm like WTF when mine measures more but looks just as small? Could this just be in my head?

I'm 5'9" and in good shape, not overweight

Measuring tape never lies.

My stats indicate that my dick is low average, but when I see it in a mirror it looks well below average.

Everything looks smaller in a picture or mirror, unless you're talking about a blown up picture of an ant. Doesn't mean things actually are smaller.

Stop working out and eating and you will have nice boney pencil legs then you're dick will look nice and big, but women will be turned off.

It's strange to see the difference in size perception. I think my peen looks pretty small, but the numbers are above average.
Actually, I look very similar in pictures to guys who are much smaller than me. I saw one guys photo of a low-end average size who honestly looked bigger than me, when i was 2 or more inches larger.

What you need to consider is the distribution of size, i guess. Like, how curved are you? What shape? Are you more cylindrical or oval? What size is the glans? How much blood is in the shaft?
I know when I'm fully erect, I'll be at my max. Then I'll do an rk and it will look bigger than it previously did, even though the numbers have not changed.

Keep all of this in mind plus the angle of the photo, your own position when taking it (were you standing or sitting, were your hips pushed out or tucked in) and you have a lot of factors that influence the look of a captured image.

How big are you? are you tall? do you have large thighs?

Height, weight etc. will distort your perception as your penis mightn't look in proportion.
That is why most male porn actors are short, and also why the female actresses are short and petite, preferably having small hands, it makes the guy's penis look bigger

EDIT: skimmed the OP before replying, just reread it and saw your height

The one pic my wife took of my unit is in my photo album. I got lucky with the angle and I grabbed just past mid shaft and pull down all the way to my balls. Looks a lot longer than what it is. It's all about the angle and how you stretch that sucker out lol

Seriously though. Who cares what it looks like? What you should be asking is, do you like how that feels inside you? Now that's the one that counts.

Isn't there anything better to look at? I mean are we getting a wee bit obsessive?

Take a picture with a fish eye lens, with your fore arm strategically placed behind it, it will look like you have a monster cock, problem solved

If I am going to spend several hours a day stretching, extending, and pumping it, i am certainly going to check it in the mirror now and then to see if I am making any progress. Otherwise, why bother putting in the time. After more than two years, my wife has not made any explicit comments regarding my growth, so how else can I rationalize all the effort I have put in to make it bigger.

Come to think about it, why am I putting in all the time?

Because you are not happy with the reflection? Seriously?

I have made some serious progress in my flaccid hang. It hangs at 6" often, sometimes another half inch. 5.25" flaccid girth. The "problem" is that I am very tall and large framed. Not fat, but stocky. I was a lineman in football, so I have very large thighs. It looks small on me. The way it looks on us is only a partial reward. The big payoff is our lady gasping when we push that baby in her. That is what drives me.

Proof to you that your women (like most women) don't put much stock in penis size
