    Penis size... what is normal?

    Hi ladies,
    let me just say I am new here, and I have a question alot of guys I know often brag about penis size but I wanna know from women, my penis is about 4.5 inches soft and approximately 7 inches when hard, thing is I am black so it is alot of pressure to live up to the hype. Once I started to fool around with a girl I was talkin to, she pulled down my pants when I was soft and started to laugh since then I was skeptical about gettin into sexual encounters. I just wanna know if that is small to you all and what is normal to you cause this thing is really bothering me.

    There has been a lot of discussion on this in the past. Really it depends on the woman. Some women can't handle a very large man, others prefer it. You are a good size, what's important is how the woman feels about and how good you make her feel. Foreplay, responsiveness and awareness are vital. How large you are, or aren't, becomes meaningless if you aren't a caring and attentive lover.

      Average adult male in the US is between 5.5 and 6.5 inches erect. So i'd say you ahead of that curve. It is irritating when people have foolish expectations based on appearance. I myself am not black but I am a big guy, so there's this stigma that I should be hung like a bull elephant.

        Flacid size and erect size really don't have much relationship. Any woman who doesn't know that probably isn't very experienced - that or she's only been with teens who by the time you get to that point are pretty much Always erect.

          She was laughing? Because you were still soft or because she thought that four and a half inches when soft is too small?

          Like WC said, there isn't much correlation between flaccid size and erect size. Someone can be five inches when flaccid and grow to six inches erect and someone can be three inches when flaccid and grow to seven when erect.

            And I have read that there are two types of erections-one where the penis lengthens while firming and one where it thickens without as much lengthening. The first is the more common, according to the article.

                I am guessing you are fairly young. Your size is great, trust me, you could be doing much worse. And about people having misconceptions, yea, my ex was 6'4" and 300 lbs. and he wasn't more than 4" rock hard. Once you are with women with a little more maturity and experience under their belt, you will find you have nothing at all to worry about.

                  Normal is in the eye of the beholder. Any girl that would laugh at the site of a flaccid penis, is not mature enough to be viewing one in my opinion.

                  There are national averages a google search away that would comfort you as you will find you are well above the norm when it comes to size.

                  But size means nothing without the ability to operate it in a manner that is pleasurable to your partner. You may meet women that will think you are too big and too uncomfortable... you may meet women that watch porn all day and think you are too small... bottom line is , size usually only matters to a woman if there is absolutely nothing else good about the sexual experience with the person.

                  In other words... a guy that is horrible sex, but has a decent size will be better than a guy that is horrible sex and has a very small size... But a guy with a smaller size who is good sex will trump a guy with a large penis that is bad at sex... any day of the week.

                  My advice is, don't worry about your size... when you meet a girl thats into you she's gonna love whatever is in your pants.
                  Scars remind us of where we've been...they don't have to dictate where we're going.

                    Lol... That last sentence was funny.

                    Anyways, I would also say that you are above average erect. It may not be by a yardstick but it's definitely there. I know that this has been said a lot in life but I find that it's rather true. You can have the biggest penis and it wouldn't matter if you didn't know how to use it. I think size is truly a bunch of bull unless of course you're an inch or two. That would be a little bit difficult. There is always oral though. I'm getting a little off topic. Point of all of this is that you have a great size and you shouldn't worry about it.
