Size doesn’t matter at all

- DR D. NARAYANA REDDY

“Doctor, please make my penis grow. I have to drive my wife crazy with ecstasy on first night itself” pleaded the new groom Robin. He also reeled out Websites and Newspaper advertisem­ents, which promised to help increase the size of the member, of course for a fee. I had to disappoint him, because once the penis has grown to it’s adult size, nothing can make it bigger.

When a man feels he is not on par with others, his sexual anxiety starts. This anxiety has its roots in the well establishe­d myth — “Men with larger penises have a stronger sex drive and are capable of greater sexual performanc­es”. The path breaking studies of Masters & Johnson, the pioneering sexologist­s, on Human Sexual Response found no relationsh­ip, what so ever, between penis size and sexual prowess. When a penis is not erect, it averages about three and half to four and half inches in length and one inch in diameter, though every one differs.

The size of the penis can vary from time to time in the same man. These variations occur because of various factors like the weather, anxiety, preoccupat­ion and the context. An erect penis is usually between five and seven inches long with a diameter of one and quarter to one and half inches. A ‘ small’ flaccid penis can show remarkable change in size as it erects, and a ‘ long’ flaccid penis changes very little when it gets excited. A man’s weight, build and height bear no relation to the size of his penis either in the limp or hard state. Another belief prevalent is that a large penis can give a woman more pleasure. The outer or the first third ( approximat­ely two inches) of the vagina has maximum number of nerve endings and hence this area only can give maximum pleasure. Inferentia­lly all that a man requires is only two inches, and that too after erection.

Our ability to make sex enjoyable for ourselves and our partners is dependent on our comfort, awareness, skill, sensitivit­y, imaginatio­n and ability to communicat­e — all of which are a matter of learning and experience.
