Size of the Times

Does penis size really matter? The answer to this question
largely depends on who you ask, but in today’s society
there does seem to be a direct association between the
dimensions of a man’s wood and the size of his ego.

Freud first coined the term “penis envy” nearly a hundred
years ago, but it really had nothing to do with
competition in the testosterone jungle (Freud’s theory
actually referred to the assumed reaction of a young girl
who, during psychosexual development, realizes she doesn’t
have a penis).

Despite the original meaning of the catchphrase, the
modern adoption of Freud’s theory is alive and well and
pervades our modern competitive society. “Close to 95
percent of men are dissatisfied with their penis,” says
Psychoanalyst Dr. Ana Robles. “For some reason they equate
size with manhood. Even men of adequate size often feel
there’s something wrong, that they’re small.”

This may be solely based upon the perception that some
women, gay men and bisexual men prefer a large penis over
a small one. There are allusions however, to the fact that
a sizable phallus is considered in many cultures to be a
symbol of high masculinity, dominance and power.

This massive member fixation is far removed from the
beliefs of many historic cultures. In fact, if you
traveled through time and asked a citizen of ancient
Greece or Rome if penile size matters they would probably
answer “of course, a smaller penis is almost always
preferred over a large one.” It is assumed that the
term “well-hung” never even came up back then.

This is evident in the sculptures, paintings and other
artistic remnants salvaged from the ruins of these times.
We may presently refer to the well-chiseled, handsome stud
as an Adonis, but it’s interesting that, like other
portrayals of mythic figures from ancient civilizations,
Adonis statues fall short in the area below the toga sash.

Historians have a few theories for the popularity of
phallic shortcomings in early art. At the time it was
generally accepted that an uncircumcised small penis was
coveted by the male population and large circumcised cocks
were thought of as comical.

But that was then and this is now and today’s men live in
a world of ever-increasing competition where bigger,
faster and stronger are the goals everyone seems to be
clawing for. It is worth mentioning, therefore, that there
is some methodology to measuring one’s member. The good
news for you “growers” out there—who until the mood
strikes up an erection, sport somewhat infantile phalluses—
the penis is generally measured at full salute.
