Wow! What a community you have here. 53 pages and I can finally post my own thoughts. My long story starts in high school (I am now 6 months from turning 40).
I always knew I was lacking in penis size but was never sure how much until a gf I had at 14 was in my room and we were making out pretty heavily and she stuck her hand down my pants and I let it all go without it ever making out of my pants. I was thoroughly embarrassed and tried to talk my way through the situation to which she replied “its alright, you’re probably too small to do me any good anyway”. What a confidence killer.
I was reluctant to let another girl “knock” me down like that again so nothing happened for a long time with anyone I went to school with. I don’t think she blabbed to anyone else but I wasn’t putting myself through that again. About a year later staying with my grandparents there was a girl(now my wife of 18 + yrs) that I would spend most of my time with. We always had a blast and her parents loved me so much they invited me to spend the week at their house ( about 3 hours from mine). One evening we were watching a movie and one thing lead to another an I lost my virginity to her. I still remember that night like it was yesterday. I never asked if I was big enough already knowing the answer. I just let it be.
Later during my senior year of hs I was sharing an apartment with a guy in his 20’s and we had parties all the time. I was pretty popular being in hs and hosting parties with tons of alcohol and drugs. I still never tried to take anything further than a heavy make out session till one night I thought this one girl I really liked wouldn’t hold my size against me stuck her hands down my pants and immediately got out of bed and said “I can’t do anything with that”.
Fast forward to about a year after joining the navy and my old gf (current wife) had sent me a letter explaining she had just had a baby. We had a quick yet unsatisfying weekend fling roughly nine months prior. At first I was flipping out. 3 pages later she tells me the baby is not mine. Afterwards I wished it was. She explained the “real father wanted nothing to do with a baby. I soon proposed to her from 3000 miles away over the phone. So our marriage started for the wrong reason. Mostly because she didn’t have an issue with my size. But I still did.
Our marriage started out rough but we still had our good moments. About 6 1/2 yrs in I decided for whatever reason to not only cheat on her but abandoned her. Sex with this new girl was just that. Sex. Nothing less. Nothing more. She always complained about my size. 6 months later and I could take no more as I was never happy and I couldn’t get over what I did to my wife and our three kids. After I left the other girl my wife, whom we had not yet finalized our divorce, began talking about reconciling and she did take me back. Amazing woman she is.
After my bout of unfaithfulness things are pretty great between us but about two years ago they began to get stale. I start smoking pot on a daily basis and become numb to everything around me. Now mind you my wife could be classified as a nympho and she had several partners before we married but I’ve always known her to be faithful and honest. She still is. My own personal hang-ups with my size always kept us from having sex on a regular basis.
I had to travel out of town for work a couple months leading up to this past thanksgiving and we talked every night on the phone. Although the conversations were fairly dry. About 2 weeks before I am supposed to come home I notice she is sounding different. Like the conversations are forced and she wouldn’t even mind if I didn’t call. I’m sweating bullets but feeling like shit for thinking she was capable of cheating. A few days after I get home I ask her if she is getting bored with me. She said yes and I asked if she was cheating and she said no. I then asked if she was considering it and she said “if things don’t change I can’t make any promises” this broke my heart more than anything because I found out she was starting to fall for the guy who left her and her first daughter 19 yrs prior and only came back in the last two years to start a relationship with his “daughter” whom I had adopted shortly after we married.
To finish this up I have let my skewed view of what masculinity is supposed to be keep me from becoming the husband and father my wife and kids deserve. I have quit smoking pot and quit being a lazy ass around the house and committed myself to my family again. My wife has since quit talking to the “other” guy and recommitted herself to me. We have had more sex in the last two months than any two year period of our marriage. But I still had issues with my size. I always thought if any ten year old stood at the urinal next to me he would get a good laugh. My wife, god bless her, thinks I’m silly for seeking PE. But I’m doing this for myself first and hope she enjoys the gains along the way.
I know this is all over the place but I have also quit letting my old views of masculinity keep me from sharing my feelings and being embarrassed of stuff like this. He’ll I have cried in my wife’s arms countless times in the last two months. She probably has only seen me cry a half dozen times prior. You people are great and I am looking forward to what PE can do for me.
