What It's Like To Have A Micropenis!
My Penis
My penis is approximately ½ to 1 inch long when flaccid and 3.3 inches long when fully erect. When fully erect it has an upward angle and a slight banana curve with a twist. It is proportionate to its length with a girth of (2.8). According to calculations my penis has a volume of 36.19 ml / 1.22 fl oz (us). Various studies suggest that the average American penis is 2.8–3.9 inches flaccid and around 4.7–6.3 inches when erect. According to online information at SIZEMEUP, in a room of 1000 guys only 1 would be shorter than me. The first time you read that kind of statistic it can hit you pretty hard. Eventually you adapt!
In an adult, the average stretched penile length is about 13.24 cm (5.21 in.). An adult micropenis is a stretched penile length of 9.32 cm (3.67 in.) or less. Growing up I remember reading that a micropenis was defined as any penis shorter than 2.8 inches in length. But have been subsequently given new information that slid me well under the 3.67 inch upper limit.
Where Do I Stand On The Penis Size Chart?
All this to say: the majority of average flaccid penises are longer than mine when I am erect. I have gotten past being deeply ashamed of my penis, but certainly I have experienced a lot of shaming with regard to my size. I can still say that I am extremely self aware of my penis size. This is largely because of the of things I hear men and women say about small dicks, the all too frequent small dick jokes in popular culture, and people’s reaction to my own small penis.
I can only speak from personal experience, but the number of times I have heard women making fun of men for the size of their manhood is staggering. At one time, I actually overheard three or four of my colleagues at work (and these were nurses) all agreeing that "men with small dicks should be required to wear a warning sign."
In school, especially high school and as an undergraduate, I was subject to a lot of hazing and bullying that was directly related to my having a small penis. As a sophomore in high school I was depantsed at the pool by three bullies when I got an unwanted erection. They lifted me up and held my arms behind me to prevent me from covering my erection so the entire PE class present could see my erection. The coach had left the pool area when it happened, of course. While the three boys were penalized, the damage was done any my “secret” became known through out the school before the end of the day. The teasing commenced immediately and was unrelenting. Even my family got calls from some friends who had heard about the incident. My mother reacted in anger filtering the incident through her Christian morality, and in her mind I was responsible for the situation (and to blame for her subsequent embarrassment). No empathy there. I was depantsed three more times before I graduated from high school and it was clear to me why I was being targeted.
I felt like a pariah.
I am 29 and have had multiple sexual experiences though only long term relationships with three different women. I have had shorter encounters with many more men. Along the way I grew a sense of humor about it all.
In high school, my first consensual sexual encounter was with a boy named Billy. I was 13 and he was 15. He was interested in anal sex, and wanted to top me. I was willing to bottom despite the fact that he was very well endowed. He did tease me about my penis, but it seemed to be good natured teasing he seemed to accept it. I was not prepared for how painful the experience of bottoming would be, but he continued to be interested in me, and treated me well (we even kissed) so I was willing to continue to have sex with him as a bottom. I fell in love.
My first sexual encounter with a woman happened during my Junior year in high school. She was a sophomore and I was a Junior. Even though she was a virgin and had never seen a man naked what she saw did not match the selfies and dick pics she had seen. She was well pleased with my digital and oral skills, and actually squirted into my mouth (something I didn’t even know was a “thing” that might happen). My small size and premature ejaculation conspired against us. She got up and douched. I was too embarrassed to speak more than an apology. My next time at bat went much better… much, much better!
I decided after that to become a master of cunnilingus so that any future women I encountered would be satisfied, if not by my penis, then my oral skills would more than make up for it. And I did master the art while at OU.
While in graduate school at the University of Texas in Austin, I met and married Sally. However our marriage was short lived. Since that time I have mainly had sexual experiences with gay men, though I had a threesome with a woman that went very well.
Aside from personal experiences, the media doesn’t help my self-esteem. Men with small penises are an ongoing source of amusement in TV shows and movies. I noticed that penis shaming was mostly reserved for villains, victims, and comic sidekicks who were never taken seriously. There are more TV shows with “little dick jokes” than shows that don’t have them. No shows make fun of women’s breast size, but targeting men with small penises as a source of humor seems to be socially acceptable. All that tells me that the writers don’t really care if men with small penises are offended or hurt.
Men with small dicks can search long and hard for pictures of smaller dicks but by and large you will find 10 large dick pics for ever small dick you locate. Smaller guys don’t post their dick pics so smaller guys have no role models to look up to!
The way the media treats the body-shaming of men compared to the body-shaming of women is wildly different. When Donald Trump makes questionable comments about the looks of women, he rightly causes outrage. Lists and videos decrying his sexist remarks have gone viral. Yet when a naked model of Trump with a micropenis was displayed in public in New York City, it was treated like a punch line rather than an attack. Some publications even called it a wonderful piece of art. Hundreds of Americans now have selfies of them laughing at Trump and his micropenis. We defend Heidi Cruz and Megyn Kelly, but where are the people defending small penises? I am no Trump supporter, but targeting him because of his small penis seems wrong.
Culture changes. In Victorian times large women were valued over slender women. In ancient Greece and Japan, small penises were valued, and the most handsome athletes had rather meager equipment that in their cultural sensibility was far more aesthetically pleasing. Times change.
I shared my unicorn story elsewhere, but will repeat it here. I was discussing my size with a boyfriend and said I felt like a “freak”. He corrected me saying I was more like a “unicorn”, graceful and very rare and unique. He told me he was lucky to have found his unicorn. The metaphor stuck with me and I started to see myself differently through his eyes!
Guys with smaller penises know we are not well-endowed, we don’t need to be reminded of it. If I’m attracted to a sexual partner, then what they have in their pants doesn’t matter to me; I care more about what that partner has in his/her heart. My extreme self-consciousness about my body makes me feel like everyone else's opinion must be right, that there is something wrong with my size. I just wish people could look past it, so I could too. Because intellectually I know my size is just a variation.
I try to look at it this way. Not everyone is attracted to red hair, or freckles, or blue eyes, or black skin, or hairy chests. People are attracted to differing qualities. As long as I can find some people who are interested in the qualities I possess, and are also interested n me personally, than I am gratified.
