Your package and how it looks

I have just come to realize that how our packages look to others compared to how we think it looks is very similar to how big our unit looks to others compared to looking at our own. Our perception of both is most likely less than what others see. I was coming in from the back after being out in the sun for awhile while wearing some bikini underwear (no one could see me and I like exposing "most" of my body to the rays). Coming up to our sliding door I could see my full reflection in the glass. I know I have a decent size package by my "numbers", but it doesn't seem when I look at it that it is all that much. The reflection told me a whole different story - I stopped dead in my tracks and was pleasantly amazed at how large I looked. I am quite sure the same holds true for most other guys as well.

It is true. I think part of the issue is that people compare their normal everyday perspective of their penis (looking down on it) against completely different perspectives.

I have one of those magnifying mirrors, and have noticed the same.
I think I heard it was called the Narcissus effect, but some confirmation by another may be reflected upon.

I'm the same way, when I look down it looks normal but whwn I see it in the mirror that's when I notice that it looks big

I have noticed this. I just told my girl I did pe a couple of days ago and explained what it was and how it worked and she was like "wtf why? Your dick is huge" I told her I wanted it to be bigger and she was like whatever you want. I honestly think my dick is "almost big" now. Give me another inch and I will be good.

Not to get off of topic, but I bet the vast majority of wives and partners feel the same way as your girlfriend (oh wait, it is my topic so I can get off it any way I want!!!)..

Unfortunately, I also perceive my package as small in my reflection even though my "numbers" indicate I have an average sized package. I guess I have been comparing myself to porn dicks for too many years.

I have been doing the same.

I do outdoor events and races and many guys wear bike shorts...I can't wear them unless I wear shorts over them...the bulge is comical.
