The irony of the locker room

Truth is, if you spend a lot of time in gym locker rooms, you realize nobody is really that big, and the 5.8 inch average size thing you hear is probably pretty accurate.

How can you tell how big a mans penis will be when hes hard .. you cant. I mean people always give me that "wtf thats huge" look and probably think im way bigger than 7". I mean i have a big flacid and only grow to 18 19 cm and i was 17.5 cm before i started seeing length gains so no im not that big but its people like you that stand in the locker room and make people feel insecure while you constantly soap scrub ur dick with soap like no one notices what your really doing lol. I mean im living proof flacid size dosent co relate with erect size but i get insecure people always tryinf to make me feel insecure about mine because of jealousy.

Sorty pegym not trying to be an ass but im venting

And if u gym hawks want proof go look at my albums

Grower or show-er my flacid album

And

My measurements

It's all mental. Try and concentrate on the fact that most of the other dudes are also self-conscious about it and it does wonders.

At least at the locker room of my gym, it seems most men have a decent flaccid length, around 5" or so - either only the guys with good flaccid size strip, or maybe flaccid avg is higher than people state they are.

jcarrier, it may well be that guys with smaller flaccids are are more likely to get changed quickly and in such a way that no one will see. Also consider that gym rats are going to generally be in better than average cardio shape therefore more likely to be showers than growers.

One does not need to be gay to care about being big to other men.

You should probably follow that with, "No homo." lol

You shouldn't care about what your flaccid size looks like in a locker room full of men. One, you've just worked out and likely are no where near your erect size. Two, you shouldn't be standing around naked long enough that everyone should notice your penis. Three, most men aren't staring at each others penis in the locker room - you do what you need to do and you leave, you don't hang around naked all day. Four, men don't discuss size so what's it matter if they see you flaccid; it's not like their going to go around blabbing to every girl you know. Five, ever heard of a towel. Six, it's rather gay to concern yourself with how you appear to men in a locker room. Seven, if this is a concern for you PE is not going to allay that. Deal with this issue up front, because concern about how other men view you in a locker room, does not bode well for your sexual confidence with females. Eight, Nine, Ten... I could go on forever, but ultimately, you just need to forget worrying about your penis among other men, it's definitely not the time you should be troubled about your penis size. Of all the times its in full view of the world, this is the time it should matter the least.

Now, from a PE standpoint, if you want to keep blood in the penis while you workout then try wearing a cock ring. Use an adjustable one so you can slip it on and off easily. You will still get some turtle, but nowhere near the amount you would get otherwise.

I'm also curious, what gyms have public showers. I know this was common when I played football in college, but I've never been a member at any gym since that doesn't have private stalls.

[MrPriapus]

Gayness isn't a disease that you suddenly catch from looking at a penis. The insecurity of American men is absurd. in Asia men bath together all the time, ass naked, and have long conversations in the same tub. It's normal for them. I can't handle this immature bs of, "Ew don't look fag!" If you are that insecure, wear a f@$ing bathing suit (talking about you priapus) and stop projecting your childish concerns onto other men who are comfortable with their sexuality.

It was kind of a joke trying to point out the gaping security flaw in someone's confidence to be concerned about how their post-workout flaccid looks to other men. I don't understand why anyone would be concerned about how their dick looks among other men. It doesn't make sense to me. Like you said, in many cultures its common for men to be naked around other men so you shouldn't be concerned about what your penis looks like.

Is a woman who compares her chest size to other women a lesbian? Not necessarily. In fact, I found an article that said men are more concerned with their size in the locker room than the bedroom.

It's natural to compare yourself to those around you. I'm also a very competitive person so I have this need to look and feel "bigger" than others if I have to expose such a private part of my body.

You are right, a woman would not be considered gay, and neither are you for looking at a man's penis. However, concern about how your penis appears to other men was the reason behind my attempt at levity. I didn't think you were gay, but if you say you are a competitive person then you must not be "winning" much. Competitive people are confident people who compete in things that require skill and talent. You are not a competitive person if you go around comparing things outside of this context - i.e. post-workout flaccid penis size. The competition of penis size is the conquest and dominance of the bed room - straight or otherwise - comparison outside of this is futile.

I dunno ive only been to one gym in my life and the shower was a big open room so it can be weird sometimes especially with hammer hawks. Ive been to jail a couple times and strip searches and showeres in the open happens alot and you can see some guys are insecure about it. I guess it feels good to have a big flaccid when you need it but i dont gi flaunting it or wear clothes to show it off. Im also on the methadone program and i have to pee infront of a camera which goes to a room full of female nurses so i guess i have t o sn how mine quite regularly.i like when i can see the exprsion on the girls face because they think i have a monster penis.. its awesome. I guess flaccid state can be competetive sometimes.
