Are porn dicks shrinking?

[DataWonk Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close DataWonk]

As a side effect of PE, the penises I see on porn videos seem to have shrunk gradually over time. Before I started PE, all the guys looked huge. But now about 1/4 of the guys look relatively small, and the Matt Hugheses and Lex Steeles of the world look large but not huge like before.

Anyone else experience this? And is there some sort of psychological or evolutionary explanation for this illusion?

No, they aren't shrinkin, you are growing, mentally and even physically.
Now you are with a better mindset, more confidence and more rational thinking!

And if that is your gain, what's the difference you feel in girth?
Cause I am at your old size. And haven't ever started PE seriously. Sighhhh.

I am with you brother. I think the same you do.

Especially when you realize that most of the girls are like 5' 1". It's hard to tell IMO, they don't look so small in film.

You have a knowledge base that most of the population doesn't. You have seen and read of average sizes so you are more attune to what is more likely to be the case than what is perception. Tag on to that what an average sized woman's hand is as well as an average sized man's hands, you can judge for yourself where things actually are. A dead give away is when a woman can wrap her hands around a dick and her fingers cross on the other side. That tells me girth is probably no more than 5". Or if a man grabs his dick by the shaft and you couldn't fit two hands stacked. The clues are there and you just have to look for them. Can be motivating in some respects provided you do not abuse porn and it causes you issues.

There's a tumblr page called "porn measurements" (warning, NSFW), and there's plenty of evidence to suggest that most male porn stars are only 6.5-7.5 inches long, with a few outliers like Lexington Steele being 8.5 inches long and Mandigo being 9-9.5 inches long.

Factor in that the women are petite and the men are short in stature, and you only need the proper camera angles to make their penises look humongous.

Sorry Pensivepenis that my numbers weren't clear. I started in Sept. 2015 at 6.25 BPEL, 4.875 MEG (girth). Currently I'm at 7.5 BPEL, 5.5 MEG. Most of the gains occurred between Sept. 2015 and April 2016 though. I was stuck at 7.375 BPEL, 5.5 MEG from April 2016 until the beginning of this year.

Great point, TheZZMan! There aren't too many genuine "two-handers" in porn.

You left out Matt Hughes and Shane Diesel. I think guys in porn virtually all pump or hang; many may even be members of this site. Peter North visibly grew over his career, and recently seems to have developed Peyronie's disease - possibly from a PE injury. Ron Jeremy also clearly grew (and not from pills as he'd have you believe).

My post wasn't meant to be all-inclusive, I just wanted to shed some perspective on how their sizes are skewed for the audience.

I gained pretty quickly in girth - but all the gains occurred in the first 8 months. I'm convinced that all of my permanent girth gains are from extending and vac-hanging.

The problem with girth-specific techniques like pumping and jelqing is the risk of injury is high. I pumped briefly but had to stop after a pumping injury. I have never jelqed as it looks crazy to me (and there are medical reports of injuries on google scholar).

Of course! I wasn't trying to be critical - sorry if it sounded this way.

Your perspective is likely what's changed

No sir, like how does it feel, with partners, with your own self?| Is it actually something great or just 'okay' ?
