Default Embarassing question

I have a rather, um, embarrasing question. I am 16, and I am a pretty big guy. I weigh 215 pounds (not really that fat though). I have an abnormally small penis. Its only 4 or 5 inches when erected. I was wondering if any pills are shown to increase the size. I have seen some advertised but do any of them really work? I wouldn't mind getting some before me and my girlfriend decide to have sex. So please keep the laughter to a minimum

Cool

You're better off perfecting your oral sex skills (seriously).

Yah, but the first couple of times will suck, a large penis helps even the first time

Heh... 4-5 is not "abnormally small", its below average but there are guys that have far less then that.

People are far too concered with being "normal", being with the in crowd in general. What you have to ask yourself is why do you really care?

To answer your question, no they do not work. There was a fun episode of Penn and Teller's debunking program, 'Bullshit' which dealt with this subject among others. They took several men and each one tried a different method- enlargement pills, a penis pump, special exercises, etc. At the end, not one of them had gained so much as a millimeter. It's all hype.

I am concerned that I will pull it out and my girlfriend will be disappointed and I won't be able to please her at all.

Well don't be. Most of the pleasure we get out of sex is psychological. If she is aroused by you in general there is no reason to think that she will not be pleased.

Also... remember, you are only 16 meaning that your body is not exactly finished as far as major physical developments. It could still grow naturally.

Oh I see. I know this will sound kind of lame but if she can't accept you then good ridance to her.

Since you are here I assume you have freed yourself from the religion. I find rejecting the group mentality is important also. If someone accepts you then fine, but don't think there is something wrong with YOU if someone ELSE will not accept you for what you are.

I only hope so...

According to this survey the average size is about 5 7/8 inches, with 2/3 of college-age men between 5.1 and 6.2 inches, so as Elvithriel says 4-5 inches isn't really that small. Anyway it's supposedly width more than length that affects the woman's pleasure, and all but really extreme deviations from the average can probably be compensated for. As for methods of penis enlargement, this Straight Dope column from 1981 says "there are no known methods, surgical or otherwise, of permanently increasing penis size"; later this was amended in this more recent Straight Dope column which details some modern surgical methods of increasing size, but I assume there are still no non-surgical methods or they would have mentioned them.
