Those of you who started out big - what motivated you to do PE?

**thecrowing** · 05-01-2014

I can't remember where I read this, but somewhere on this site is the claim that a large percentage of men who start PE are above-average in size. I find this fascinating. I would assume most guys start out small, but judging by a lot of people's starting stats, that doesn't seem to be the case. I just don't understand why anyone who's already 6.5x5.5 would devote so much time and effort to getting bigger if they're already big to start with. I'm not trying to insult anyone; I'm genuinely curious. Enlighten me. If you were already hung, what made you want to hang lower?

Not feeling big in the first place, despite stats...

See, that blows my mind. I would kill to have what you started with. It's interesting to me how so many men share the same dissatisfaction despite having vastly different sizes.

No one wants to be average and most everyone believes the average is higger than research states. Men are competitive and want to be the best, so they want to get to a size that they are comfortable knowing they will never be consideree small/average. Its all relative to the individuals perception.

Why do people believe this? Are the studies unreliable, or is just a general perception?

I think a lot is based off personal experience. Whether they have been told they are small or have had been influenced by others that larger are more common than they thought.

I started close to those stats and I just had goals in my head that are currently just numbers.

I guess guys who start on the bigger side do not realize that and they just want to be bigger.

Mine was porn induced but since I quit porn it doesn't affect me. I do PE for myself and make myself happy since I enjoy this journey.

You have a baby and it is very small. You see your child every day, every hour. Your friend comes over the first day you bring your new baby home. He comes over a month later and says he can't believe how big it has grown already - except you don't see it because you are with it every day. Another example: I am 6'5" tall, and I know I am tall because I am around other people all day and very few are as tall me. I can read a stat and it will confirm that indeed, I am tall. If all the people I ever encountered were always sitting down, I wouldn't know how much taller I am then the vast majority of them, and reading a stat that says I am taller than most of them doesn't really tell me anything. I have never been around another male who had an erection, let alone a lot of men who have had an erection. Just because the stat says I am large doesn't give me the same access to that info as if I was around dudes all day that had hardons. Your wife or girlfriend can tell you how big you are, but unless she is a bitch she sure as heck isn't going to say you are small.

Sometimes it's ignorance. I had no idea about size until my last 2 years of high school. And around that age you run into ignorant girls who have no idea what an inch/centimeter is. I never knew if I was big or small until my first sexual encounter. I don't agree with most penis size surveys because the sample size is too small and the distribution is too limited.

Many women I have talked to you have actual sexual experiences (i.e. not ignorant girls who only watch porn or listen to what friends say) say that they can be satisfied with a 5" penis, which for most surveys is the lower end of "average". The only caveats are that they guy must know how to respond to what their body wants and be hard so it can create pressure inside them. Girth was also a major factor they mentioned. Length is usually last on the list. Which I find interesting because men seem to focus on length, in fact almost exclusively.

While I do want to get to a certain size, my main goal is to keep my penis in shape: harder erections, fuller glans, stronger, more voluminous ejaculations, and the ability to last as long as my partner wants.

I've told my story many times before. I started at 6" x 5.25". My ex-wife cheated on me and then, later, took great joy in telling me that her lover (one of her lovers) was much bigger than me (just to hurt me). I became determined to "fix" that issue. I don't know if I ever reached the point where I was actually bigger than that guy, but I did succeed in making myself bigger. After that I just found that I really enjoyed PE.

Men are naturally competitive. Men naturally put a tremendous amount of value on sex. Combine these two things and men want to be the biggest and best when it comes to sex. Add in how much our western society pushed the importance of having a big penis. I see references to this all the time in movies, TV shows, advertising, jokes, etc.
