Hey Chonky
This is a great thread. You’ve gotten some awesome advice so far - I agree with all of it.
I think your goal is great, and well thought out. That’s an excellent length which should do the trick, and holding off on extra girth is probably wise in your specific scenario.
Regarding performance anxiety, and the fear of not being a great lover, etc: I want to tell you to just have fun. Performance anxiety is a toxic mind game and the more we dwell on it, the more it affects us. Guys around here joke about their penis getting shy when the ruler comes out. It is so much worse when we pressure ourselves to perform great for a new lover, etc. My message to you is that PRESSURE IS TERRIBLE FOR EQ. So don’t put pressure on yourself man. Go into your marriage excited and in love and ready for fun. Approach sex from a “just having fun” standpoint. It will be a long and deep learning experience. The best thing you can do is keep it fun and light (no pressure, no anxiety) and communicate with your partner. It may not feel like much to you in the very beginning, and she will undoubtedly experience discomfort in the very beginning - but it will blossom into a very big and very amazing thing.
Sex is crazy. Women’s bodies are miraculous. They can orgasm at least 5 or 6 different ways physically, basically an unlimited number of times (my wife had 107 the other night - we counted on a tally counter), and I believe they can also experience energetic orgasms, but I have not fully cracked these just yet. I have no idea how many times I’ve had sex, but I’m still learning all sorts of stuff. I’ve been with my wife for 12 years, and if I do some quick math, I’ve probably had sex with her almost 2,500 times. I am STILL unlocking new levels of pleasure in her. Over the last year we’ve slowly stretched and broken-in her backdoor and now she is absolutely begging for it - having whole new types of a-spot orgasms and making deeper moans and sounds she’s never made any other way. Also, once she had an a-spot orgasm, she suddenly figured out how to squirt, so she’s been having these big gushing orgasms too, which are a totally different type of orgasm, with different sensations than a regular g-spot or clitoral orgasm. Sex is crazy. Amazing. Women’s bodies are amazing.
So my message to you is to absolutely 100% forget about performance anxiety and putting pressure on yourself. The best advice I can possibly give you is to go into it excited and ready for fun. Communicate with your girl and keep the mood light and playful. Be patient as she works her way through the initial discomfort, and check in with her to make sure things are working for her (and not just you). As your sexual encounters progress, focus on your control - withholding and delaying your orgasm until she’s had plenty of orgasms and you’re both ready to finish. This control is what separates the men from the boys - and the rock star lovers from the two-pump chumps. Sex, for a man, is 100% about orgasm control - while making your woman lose all control and have a bajillion orgasms. If she has trouble reaching clitoral or g-spot orgasm, dedicate the bulk of your time working with her to figure out her spots and how to make it happen - a lot of women need clitoral stimulation/vibration along with g-spot penetration in order to unlock their g-spot orgasms in the beginning. Don’t be afraid to take little cool-down breaks if you’re getting too turned on/penis too sensitive (and tell her she is so ridiculously hot you’re getting too turned on - she will always take this as a compliment). And if you find your bladder refilling during sex is causing confusing sensations that interfere with your orgasm control, don’t be afraid to take pee breaks (and make it seem like it’s a sex marathon you two are having and tell her to stay busy til you get back!)
Just some key points I learned over time. I hope it goes great for you man. Wishing you luck. Zero pressure on yourself. All fun!
