Grower here - anyone else feel ashamed of that fact?

Return to Discussions

I've always been self conscious of my size when soft, because it gets REALLY small, almost hiding in my body, especially as I've put on weight as I've aged. On the one hand I love my body, and my penis for how it is (I certainly can't change it), but I've also struggled over the years with embarrassment and shame for others to see my penis when it's not at least semi hard, because of my size. I know that it sometimes feels like quite a feat of anatomy that I can go from tiny to an average sized erection, and I am happy that I get to see that much growth. Anyone else ever feel a sense of inadequacy around your smaller than average flaccid member?

These are funny answers, and reassuring. I have an unusual situation in that I've always been more of a grower than a shower, but hang reasonably nice at 3-4" flaccid when in nude situations. Because of some medical treatments a couple of years ago, my flaccid dick now just about disappears into my groin. It'a annoying when peeing, and I'm self conscious in nude situations. My erect size is like always. I guess I just need to get used to it.

It doesn't bother me. I am what I am. It's enough to fill a swimsuit pouch.

What did surprise me was the dedication to the cause. I thought wearing all eight of my glans rings at once would mean the additional weight would overcome the shrinkage. Once out in the open breeze, they did not. Still small when flaccid, with only a little additional extension due to being held out by the rings. All secure, though.

Yes. I do. 2 inches when flaccid. 6-7 when hard. And thick. I get complements on the thickness. I do feel embarrassed, especially when you se so many other men who are well endowed like at the beach or at a gay bathhouse. I cant measure job. Just yet.
