Do you see your penis as being larger or smaller than it is?

I know I have always viewed my own as smaller than it is. I don't see it as small but I see it as smaller than it is. For instance when I measured 8" I saw it as like 6" when I was 9" I saw it as 8". Now at almost 11" I am just starting to realize 9??? I wonder why this happens. Any insite?
 
Same here, I aint measured in like 6 weeks, I must be 8.60 inches erect now in length and DEFF' 7.50 in girth yet I don't see myself as big at all.
I find myself as average, I don't know why.
 
Oddly enough, I see myself as bigger than I am. I just look down and say, "Damn, I look huge today." Then usually when I go to measure, I am not substantially bigger, or I am the same size as usual.

So needless to say, I now avoid measuring too often, and I use the perceived size I see as motivation that my efforts are paying off.
 
I also see myself as smaller than I am. Only when I measure it do I think to myself "oh yea, I really am 7" non bp!". I relate it to body dismorphia. When I was into weight lifting it was the same thing. Even when I was ripped and 5' 9" 190lbs....I saw myself as my former 5' 9" 160lbs. I think a lot of guys who lift and have made big gains in muscle size/weight have the same issues. They never see themselves as big enough.
 
I too always tend to see and think of myself as quite a bit smaller than I am. This seems to be a very common thing here and while the bird's eye view may account for some of this I think there is more to it than that. Perhaps part of it could be due to the fact that we are all smaller than we would like to be.
This perceptual discrepancy I would imagine is also one of the reasons why so many keep setting new goals as they reach initial ones.
It would be an intersting bit of psychology to investigate I imagine.

Perhaps I should start a B.D.D. thread again.
 
Me too. :) Looking at the penis from the top makes it look smaller. I found that if the erect penis is pressed down towards the legs, it looks longer, if you lift it up towards your chest it looks smaller. I think that's why some blacks appear to be big in flaccid, if you lift them towards 9 o'clock direction, they would probably look smaller. In short, a 8'' dick becomes a 9 incher when pressed towards BTC and becomes a 7 incher when lifted to an angle 10-11 LOT. Also, looking at your penis from the mirror makes it look larger than your own angle of view.
 
I always view it as being smaller than it actually is. Looking down at it, gives a mis-perception of smaller. Even in a mirror, I view it as average.

I've read size data studies, and according to those it is large.

However, I feel it's not near large enough.

I tend to view six inches as small. Seven to seven and half as average. Eight to nine and half as larger average. Ten to ten and half as large. Eleven to twelve as huge.

When I reach nine, that won't be enough. Ten not enough, eleven not enough, twelve not large enough.

As a Penis Enlargement freak, my view the subject is flawed... *g*

Thanks for you involvement guys. I think this thread is a wake up call that most of us could benefit from sharpening out cognitive skills. If you have not taken this survey I created please do so. I spent allot of time developing this thread and it is a very good read especially for those who suffer with a skewed perspective of self view.

When i just look down at my dick i see it as smaller but if i look in the mirror then i see it slightly bigger but still small. Maybe its the angle.
 
I don't know.

I probably see myself as being smaller than I am and I do think the downward angle makes this a common phenomenon. However, there is no denying my flaccid length is pathetic. I guess I tell myself "Hey, it always looks smaller than it is", but there is no denying it truly is small.
 
I guess it's a lot like when I'm picking a shirt out. If I'm going to work, I stop and figure out what I can wear that will make me look thinner, or should I say less fat. However, sometimes I get frustrated and say "fuck it", because the reality is I'm fat enough that nothing is going to make me look truly "thin".
 
It depends for me, some days i see myself small and others I look at it and say I know i have a big dick. I have no clue why i see it small some days and big on others.......I'm 7.5-7.75 EL.
 
It really depends on my overall mode, but generally I think I view myself as a little smaller than I actually am. When bone-pressing, it seems like I'm about 6" even though I'm approaching 7" in reality.
 
OK ,
I look down and see myself as small , I look in the mirror and it still looks on the small size (which I am not large (yet)but in no way am I so small).
but I find that when I am laying awake in bed or when me and my wife are getting ready to have sex, and I cant see my penis in the dark, it feels alot larger than what my eyes see. so I think to myself that this is the size she is feeling inside her or what she takes into her hand, and I feel better about myself and the size of my penis.
Any way ,I dont know my size right now as I haven't measured in months, I feel like I have made some gains since then,so I will say that I am around 7.25X5.5 or in that area give or take.
but the point of all this is I think that my hands can show me my true size where my eyes only show me what my mind believes(which is I am way below average).

Over the past weeks and now I see myself as big.
My confidence is better with all this now.
But I get somedays where I am insecure.
 
It's because of your fatpads guys. You meassure 8" but only 6" is showing. That's why lenght looks less than it is. When it comes to girth I do not know. I am lean. My NBPenis EnlargementL is close to 7" that's great. When it comes to girth I'm inferior most guys. ((Yet)) :)
 
I'm .25" short of 8" and i see myself as about 6" , sometimes less.

Strangley enough when i see my cock in the mirror i can't believe the girth is only 5.1"

Wierd.
 
I feel the same way. I am 8.50 non bp. However, I feel small. I would feel really better if I was over 9.

DAMN! Red your girth is crazy at 7.50. How the fuck did you get that much girth? You are big as hell! What exercises did you perform? Good deal.

Similar here. I am actually kinda long and skinny, but I look short and fat when I look at it.
 
When I can get my head out of Penis Enlargement and adult entertainment long enough to see what a normal penis really looks like I am very happy with my size. I think most of us have a very warped view of the penis...If you want to see normality visit some of the nudist sites.
 
I think adult entertainment has skewed all of our viewpoints. I know my father kept girlie mags under the bathroom sink when I was little so we always had access to it. I suppose that an adult male penis would look huge to a youngster who shouldn't have been exposed to it. Has anyone else been exposed to adult entertainment as a child and do you think it had anything to do with our common distorted view of our own equipment. I am 7" bp and it looks very small to me, although I know that is a decent size.

I started seeing it when I was very young and most of the guys were in the 7-8" range and I was about 3" at the time. That definitely affected me. A I ever hoped for was 6" and at ~8"bp I still feel small.
 
my girl keeps asking me,who told ur dick was small.Why are u so obsesse with pe.I've always thought i was smaller than i actually am.I tried to have sex with my girl tonight,and she wouldnt let me stick it all in
 
One of the first adult entertainment movies I remember seeing starred JOHN HOLMES. I guess this may have fucked with my head a bit.

OMG - DLD...you and me both!!! This is so weird, because I remember finding a 'Swedish Erotica' video in my dad's closet and John Holmes starred in it. I remember thinking to myself, "Boy, I can't wait 'till I get that big."

Little did I know. :(
 
I see myself as BIGGER than i really am. That is the only way I can use my
6.25 x 5.15 penis and fuck a girl and belive I can fuck the shit out of her. When my mind truly believes that Im bigger then I know that the feelings are transmited into the other person. I can honestly say that when I fuck I see myself MUCH bigger and actually feel it. Now doing Penis Enlargement only makes me feel that it is truth!

I just use my mind to my advantage!!
 
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this but, we see our packages everyday! So, even large changes don't register. I personally see myself smaller.

Very true, this is why taking pictures is a great thing in Penis Enlargement...even if they are just for your own private viewing...you can easily see the difference over time.
 
My first hardcore adult entertainment mag I saw was John Holmes and Seka! I wound up stealing it for my own collection. Weird how Johnny Wadd wrecked all of us!!


I see myself much smaller than I am also. I have gained an inch in the last year and I still feel small. This friggin fat pad dosent help either!! ARGH!!!
 
Is it only me who day in day out, night in and out always fantisies about having a big pecker? I almost think i have sometimes for real.. because of these fantasies!
And i think that i have special powers, so that i can choose my size my-self. And my hight, i believe i can supply a whole world with money, and help them out of their bad, lonely, terrafying cercuit. I always wish that i had cars, so that people would noticed, i want to travel... But its all dreams i dont got any of those powers or money to buy any car. Or to help people just like that, but still my mind wont let it go it still dreams on...
Maybe i become a loony-toon in the future ;)

Does anyone else suffer from that syndrome?

I can kind of relate to that. When I focus on diet and body transformation, it becomes so engrained in my mind that I think of myself as thin and ripped, sometimes. I know I'm not as such, but sometimes it gets we walking with a little more confidence because it has such as obsessive place in my life.
 
Maybe like how anorexics see themselves as fat, we see ourselves as small, like a size complex disease!
