Is 5 girth a bit thin nowadays?

[Hopeful&dedicated Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Hopeful&dedicated]

I still can't fathom over 6" in girth, but I know that's just because of where I stand now at 5.2". Highest I have seen personally is around 5.75" right after coming out of the bathmate, and to me that seemed stupid huge. Hope is I'll see that without the bathmate someday.

It's also funny how the mind works and how we dwell on things -- I know I'm above average in length, but I still feel 'small' because of the girth, much in the same way Sean mentioned above. Without hearing it from others/positive feedback from sex, I think I'd need to hit 8 NBPEL x 6 MEG before in my own head I'd be able to consider myself big.

Yeah, I can't imagine having a 6 girth. My wife and I have toys and the largest tops out at a shade over 7 so it's not crazy but having even a 6 attached to my body would be insane.

I'm with you though about not feeling big. When I look down it looks thin. Partly because of my length and partly because I am more deep than wide and it's deceiving. When I tilt my head to the side and take a look from a different angle it's like a different unit. Crazy.

Also, although this forum and other like it aren't really representative of the real world, it does seem even the shorter guys all have 5.5" girth or better.

I have posted several time before that although I have increased my permanent girth from 4.4" to 5.25" and after an intensive pumping session I can enjoy a temporary girth in excess of 5.75", my wife has yet to comment on the increased girth. I believe this is due to 1) the fact that the increase in girth has been over a span of five years, and 2) I do not penetrate until after a lot of foreplay, including oral, such that she is always well prepared.

However, for me, I can definitely feel that it is a tighter fit.

Because PE is so gradual that, for me, my brain adjusted overtime to the increase in girth. I don't pretend it isn't big now as my reason for continuing PE, It is because I am used to it and although there are sights like this I feel like I am comparing myself to what I used to be which is actually hard to remember now.

I think in some ways it takes passing some sort of milestone or barrier to finally clue in. That could be anything from having a condom fit too tight that didn't before, no longer fitting in a toilet paper roll, not being able to close your fingers around yourself, etc, etc. At those instances your internal reality doesn't match the external, and you're forced to re-evaluate things to make sense of it all.

Also, given our nature, we don't want to be average or just above...we want to knock it out of the park, so to speak. I think that's why some of us are so sensitive to stats and numbers -- I know if I was 7x5.75 NBPEL I wouldn't really care if the average of 5.8 was BP or not, nor would I really care about the average girth being 4.6 or 4.9.

This definitely rings true with me. I wouldn't mind being able to look back someday and be well beyond the statistical average in both length and definitely girth.

I agree...Although the faces my wife is making now is just downright crazy. PE is working...I'm kind of sad, but happy to report that. Not sure how I feel about the whole thing...

I don't know how relevant anyone else will find this, but it just occurred to me that when it comes to talk of average, anyone who gained from PE should be left out of the equation. Actually putting in the work required for big, lasting, gains is probably more rare than a 10x8 penis.

If you've gained from PE, in any way, you're already in the top .5%. To the rest of the population, you have done the impossible!

I agree...PE is working

I am glad PE is giving you gains downthere.

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

Thanks bud!! It is working, and most of the time it's not at all enjoyable - it's actual work as you know! Sometimes it's even painful, as I had the misfortune of doing to myself when I collapsed the Bathmate onto my member sideways and cut the top of my unit. Blood and all...I want some of those 'pills' or 'cream'.

Hey guys. First time on the forums. Just saw this thread and wanted to add my 2 cents. I'm sitting at 6.5" length and 6.5" girth. It's actually depressing how short it looks just because of the blatant thickness, I actually thought i had a small penis for the longest time because of it. I would honestly give up an inch in girth to gain an inch in length. That being said the women I've slept with have all felt pain the first few times (usually saying it felt like losing their virginity again) but the ones that came back for more (surprisingly most of them) adjusted to the size fairly quickly. I honestly believe you're fine with 5 inch girth and i envy you.

It was actually eye opening seeing this thread
Great to be with the community though.

Right there with you. Oral treats from my Bride are very difficult.

Those racing stripes wounds on Mr. Winkie from her front teeth were not pretty!
It's more like a Lolly Pop licking! Plus she claims I caused her TMJ.

.

what you think is huge is normal thing for someone with a large girth.....


hard to get laid too it's just a waste of time even trying

At 4.5 girth this is a depressing thread.

At 4.5 girth this is a depressing thread.

You should go back and read my posts about Median Girth being 4.67" That means at 4.5" you are just shy of the 50 percentile, something PE will be able to fix. Hell, 4.5" is ~40 Percentile, or close enough to average that most women wouldn't think it was that thin at all.

Don't be depressed, 5" is not the average, nor 5.5+" Girth nearly as common in the real world as it is in Porn or this site.

Very true -- I'd hazard a guess that if the average penis is 5.8x4.65 BPEL, the average porn star is only actually around 7-8x5-6 BPEL. Of course this isn't counting guys like Mandingo, Shane Diesel, etc...just your regular run of the mill porn stars in various clips.
