I'm not sure how many of you saw this last week, but a meta-analysis report was released on the topic of penis size:
http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/mar/03/the-results-are-in-study-reveals-average-penis-size
I found it enlightening, as I have always believed my penis to be unusual (it's almost exactly average when erect, a bit bigger actually, but quite a bit smaller than the average when flaccid). As a nudist it's one of the things that I stress about when around other nudist men, because I obviously am not in a position where I care to be seen to be erect and give the wrong impression, but I can be so small when flaccid that I get really self conscious. It's enough of a concern that (and this is embarrassing to admit, but here I go) I fidget with it in order to keep it stretched out somewhat. In it's "natural" flaccid state, it causes me a great deal of self esteem issues :-(
Curious to hear other men's (and women's, too) thoughts about size and whether it's something you worry about when you're in a social situation nude.

Having said that, it's taken me lots of years to accept that! In the past I'd love to have been better endowed, but it's out of my control. I'm ok with that. I just like to be naked, natural, free. I don't need to compare.ReactReply - MT

It just doesn't make any difference. People come in all shapes and sizes. If you attend a large event you will notice that your concern is in fact a non concern because others just don't care. If they do, you or they are at the wrong gathering.

SamMar 25, 2015My thought about penis size. You don't get a choice about the size of your penis. So, to fret about anything outside of your control is a waste of energy. Enjoy what you have and focus on things you might have some control over.

luxorsecurityMar 29, 2015Hold on. He did ask for input from women so the reply was appropriate. I1m quite under-endowed and because I've been taking testosterone injections for about two years now my testes have drawn up as well, no longer producing testosterone which has always seemed low in my case.
Even when erect I probably don't exceed four inches. With a belly my flaccid penis practically disappears.
I used to receive jokes from my wife about my large balls of which I was quite proud, and "no concou" (if I'm spelling it correctly. It's Vietnamese for penis).
I do think it's pretty much normal for men to compare their size to others but we all must become comfortable with whatever size we are because there's nothing we can do to change it.

JoeyMar 29, 2015One of the greatest benefits of social nudism is body acceptance.
We've been brainwashed by the (adult) entertainment industry to believe that only certain body types are preferable. That only certain sizes and shapes of the male penis, female breast, butts, etc. are beautiful and satisfying.
The truth is that we come in all shapes and sizes. And in a true nudist environment all types are acceptable.ReactReply - FIfirstime10Mar 29, 2015Size is one of the main reasons that I have held back from going to nude beaches more often. It makes it very awkward when around others as mine is quite smaller than others have referenced in this forumReactReply

ManOfWicklowApr 2, 2015Scientist say the average size of the male penis has gone down to 5 inches. This just shows how big the Chinese population is getting.ReactReply - SMsmash12Apr 4, 2015The problem with these surveys is they are still self selected, so the results are higher than the true average since it's most likely only those confident will volunteer.
As for size, well there's little you can do about. I've spent enough time in locker rooms and naturist environments to notice that I am in fact average and normal, and that nobody actually cares anyway.ReactReply - OZ
OzblokeApr 5, 2015I'm not sure how a penis can be accurately measured anyway - the discussion sems to be around two binary States - flaccid and errect. I'm sure most guys would have experienced what George Costanza aptly described as 'shrinkage' in cold weather. The corollary for many guys us that in warmer weather when one is relaxed and the genitals arent constrained by tight clothing, the penis appear larger than usual even though the male isn't necessarily aroused to any degree. My point is there are so many variable that determine an individual's penis size at any given time.

It seems odd that they should measure a flaccid size, since that is where there is most difference on an individual. Cold, anxiety, exercise all means everything gets smaller and tighter, and that's where insecurity lays. But perhaps that is where the discussion should be, we all know it, but seem to fixate on appearing small because it's cold.

paulApr 12, 2015Personally,i have no issues with mine,it does what it's supposed to do and have never really had any real concerns about being happy or unhappy with it.But that doesn't mean i would put down anyone elses concerns about theirs.Yes,we are brainwashed into having these concerns,but then our everyday lives revolve around what we are brainwashed into believing what's right.Women can be just as bad in their concerns about breasts,so many will take the time to ensure they displayed right,before they go out in public(i'm talking about when clothed),they assume they are an important part in attracting a man(unfortunately in a lot of cases they're right lol) and how many female photos on here are taken from the shoulders upwards?I,like a lot of others,wasn't brought up with nudism and it takes time to change the way we think,it would be nice to think that others would be supportive rather than criticize people who have already taken steps to change the way they think of nudism
