Great question! Most guys have questions about penis size, but they�re afraid to ask. Our society makes such a big deal about penis size. We get all these messages from the media -- that penis size is a measure of your manliness, the most important part of good sex, and what people look for in a partner. No wonder guys compare themselves to one another.

But don�t believe the hype! Just remember the saying: "It's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean." In other words, it's not the size of your penis; it's what you do with it that matters. And being able to satisfy a partner has little to do with penis size, and more to do with talking about what feels good, learning about your bodies, and building a trusting relationship so you both feel comfortable. 

Penises, like faces, all have the same features, but look very different and that's OK. But most guys, at some point in their lives, think their penis is too small. Chances are, you have nothing to worry about. When erect, most penises are between 4 and 7 inches. The size of a penis when it�s soft or "flaccid" has little relation to the size when it�s hard. Sometimes penises curve a little up, down, or to either side. Some are wider, some are thinner. All of this is normal.

One reason guys may think their penises are too small is because they�re usually looking down at them from above. They appear smaller from this perspective! Try looking at your penis in a mirror and you may find that it looks more like its actual size.

And remember: when you ask teens what they look for in a romantic/sexual partner, very few put penis size at the top of the list. Most want someone with a good personality and a mind of his or her own. Most want a guy or girl who is attractive and fun to be with.
