I have read this thread with quite a bit of interest, and although I am relatively new here and have posted very little, I would like to share my thoughts on the subject.
I’m 54 years old, and still have my urge to make size gains, truth is I don’t need any and am very happy with what have- which one would think is my size, quite a bit above average (and for that I am thankful,) but more importantly for my beautiful partner who is hopefully my life mate. Now this lady is extremely sexy and when turned on, I have it all. However..
Most of the time she is not turned on due to pressures of work, daily grind etc etc, and being a Sicilian Catholic she is unlikely to give out more than once a week. She has not had many partners (I have had many) and by all accounts she is still quite frightened of me when I am aroused. Going back even ten years before we met I was less lengthy an a little less girthy, and I know with confidence I would have satisfied her just as much with a size the same as her previously lovers.
PE has it’s place, I still practice regularly, but partly because I don’t get sex as often as I would like (this is her “issue” and not mine, previous partners have been extremely forthcoming in that area, and so I turn to a blend of PE/self pleasuring to get by. I love my partner dearly and the thought of straying just to get penis adoration kudos seems like the ultimate form of self depreciation to me.
But that’s my point. It’s all about what’s going on in one’s head, and truthfully, unless you are below average then one should be putting zero effort into self depreciation and maximising the development of a positive mindset. I would take a bet that women are secretly worrying far more about the size of their tummy, arse, breath, technique and if you will hang around to daylight than how long your todger is, than whipping out a tape measure! Confidence is the biggest thing one needs to carry into the bedroom. All this crap about ideal size is quite frankly ridiculous, and I can tell you that my partner would have trouble accommodating a pencil unless she has had a few glasses of wine, but when she is ready to “go flying” she suddenly forgets about my potential to cause hurt and I have to just smile to myself as suddenly she is a couple of sizes bigger, and that is the key, understanding that women are actually created to function this way and NOT letting it get you down!
There are plenty of ways you can get larger, it requires persistence, determination, and a positive mental attitude. I personally feel that for someone who is 5-6-7-8 inches erect, and could add reasonable length, are the ystill going to go on about the ideal size being “X,” or are they going to formulate a new value for X so they can keep beating themselves up over it?
