  • Visual Perspectives - How do you see yourself?

    We see our penises everyday and it gets hard not only to notice any visual changes that may occur but also sometimes it is even difficult to detect actually physical changes - in feel.
    There are guys here that are in the 7.5 x 5.5, 8 x 6 + category and i wonder: forget what the ruler tells you, do you see your dick as being big when you look down on it, when you look at it facing the mirror and when you look yourself in the mirror sideways? Meaning, if the rules did not give out your measurements, would you think you are big?
    I'll be getting in that range very very soon (i hope) and i do see improvements both when i look down on it and when i look straight into the mirror, although its hard to say how much. looking at it sideways i can't really see any changes (btw, i've gained 1.1 inches in length in 7 months).
    But still, when i look down at it, it doesn't really seem "big". I'm overweight, so that also seems to detract from a "big" look.
    I wonder if one can ever have a visual idea of what your penis really looks like size wise from a third's person perspective.
    How do you see yourself?

    I don't see myself as big at all. I am about 7.4x5.25.. I have a big mirror in my room, and looking at myself from the side I actually look short, really. Doesn't look thick either.. In retrospect, I've seen 7x5 objects and laughed at the thought of the entire thing going inside of someone. Perspective is reality! I've been trying to learn to take pride in my size, I'd consider myself on the small side of large, or the high side of medium
    I have no problem being with just one woman, but I can't not eat all the donuts.

    Current: 7.2" x 5.25"
    Next stop: 7.5" x 5.4"

      Hey, its like you said, perspective is reality. I'd much rather look at myself at a 7x5 than my current size lol

        But do you guys think that someone who sees your dick from a third person perspective would find it big? That's what seems funny to me: why it's look short to me and maybe big to someone that its looking at it other than myself.

          I dont see myself as that big to be honest, I would need a good 6" girth to feel that way. Even when I look down I dont think it looks long at all even though I am around 8" BPEL. When you look at it every day you get used to it i guess
          Starting Point: September 2010: 6.5" x 5"
          Goal: 8" x 6"

            Stop staring at your dick. Stare at your gf/wife's perfect body. That's were your eyes should be. Then let nature take it's coarse.

              I feel the same way....plus I have done experiments with dildos to see what length can be handled without pain...Many dildos are harder than real penises...so this has some effect...but 7 long is plenty...8 with any thickness - too much.............and I have taken pics of things I thought were big next to my cock...they look about the same...but I still felt small.......That is why believing the measurements are so important....it takes time for perception to get in line with reality.............this site helps that to take place.

                When I look at myself from the side, it doesn't look thick either. But if you look at it from the front... well, it's a different story

                  I like looking at my dick, specially in the process of getting bigger. And i like looking at my girl's body (perfect or not). I like looking at them both, and there is no problem with this - on the contrary.

                    Self-perception is important. There are at least two optical illusions that affect how we view our own penises. One is foreshortening, which is just our natural eye angle makes it look less, and looking in a mirror would correct that. The other is the length to girth ratio. When I stand sideways with an erection and look in the mirror, it does not look as long as photos of shorter ones. My wide girth makes it look much shorter. Then there is, like you said, when you see an object the same size as it is, and the object looks much larger than it does, until you put them side by side. Many times in my teens I would think I had found a bottle or tube that it would fit into, only to find amazingly that it was too big to fit.

                    I always took my size for granted until last year when I got into webcamming, and was amazed at how many people were wowed, even by my flaccid size. Slowly I began to realize that compared to most of the ones I was seeing online (not porn), mine indeed was much larger than average. I have since quit webcamming because it was addictive and ruining my life. Two good thing came out of it, and one is a clear realization that mine is very wide and quite long. We do indeed get used to what we have, and that can be good or bad, depending on the attitude we take. The other webcammers had to comment about my cocky attitude, which gets into my philosophy about what it means to be a man and to enjoy being one. Realizing how important attitude is was the other realization. Most people will notice your attitude first, and if there is occasion for your penis size to figure into the evaluation, then that can make you look even better.

                        Though I have gained over 3/4 inch in EL and 1/2 inch in girth, I am still not considered above average. Yet when I look in the mirror, it does not appear that i have gained anything. Were it not for my ruler, I would swear it is still the same sub average size. However, it does feel bigger.

                          I think this is quite common

                          If I see a picture of a penis the same size as mine (either flaccid or erect), it looks tons bigger than mine. Its easy to recognize your own penis and hand in a picture, at which point your own self image takes over. I definitely don't look down and see the size that the ruler tells me, but I've learned that its no big deal and that its a perception issue.

                            Id probably consider myself big if I had 7 or 8 inches of length. But at my current stats I don't feel big at all.

                              Reminds me the clinical case of anorexia nervosa, just in the opposite direction. Those skinny girls see themselves as fat when they look in the mirror or directly down at their body parts. Most guys look down or in the mirror and all they see is a little skinny dick. Some can't even see a dick because of their bellies or fatpads. So it creates anxiety in a guy, like the anxiety of those anorexic girls.

                              The funny thing is that when you gain, after a while you completely get used to those gains and still think that there is a lot more extra room to grow lengthwise and girthwise.
