The Dick Sitch: Penis Enlargement and Historical Significance.

Concerned about the size of your member? Fear not, you’re not alone. Men everywhere, and since the dawn of mankind, have shown preoccupation with the dreams of penis enlargement.

The age old question: Does size really matter? According to science, and women almost everywhere, the answer is a resounding “no”, but that doesn’t stop men everywhere from agonizing over their manhood. That reference alone can explain why some men feel a little disappointed with themselves when confronted with a glance down south. In contemporary society, a man is told his self worth and very masculinity is defined by the size of his penis. Much in the way that women tend to worry about their figure, men are classically trained to identify with their genitals. From historic monuments, to widely accepted verbiage and colloquialisms, we are a phallic centric society. There are a million ways to contend with the dreams of penis enlargement and garnering satisfactory sex esteem, but the question still stands – why do men worry about it?

One Size Fits Most

Size, shape, smell, girth, and color are just a few of the concerns that many males have. And that’s just the shaft. Men everywhere also contend with concerns about their testicles as well. Something that needs to be called into focus is the fact that vaginas are only so big. So penis enlargement can really only do so much for the lady in question. The average vaginal canal is only about three to four inches long, with the elusive G-spot situated a mere two ish inches inland. So even if you were swinging around with equipment that would make John Holmes blush, there’s only so much size a girl can take.

The Average Johnson

Most straight guys get their idea of the average size of a man’s member from porn. Occasionally you can take a gander in the locker room, but as far as I know, it’s not like you’re all walking around at attention. Penis size and shape vary greatly, not only from person to person, but also from erect to flaccid. Science itself even reminds us that small flaccid penises lengthen by a much greater percentage than those of flaccid large penises. Essentially, most penises reach an average size of five to seven inches, regardless of how large they look in casual company. It turns out that being a grower and a shower just isn’t a thing. So, before your penis envy turns into a green one-eyed monster, keep that tidbit close to mind.

On The Balls

I have to say, that as a heterosexual female, I was shocked to find out that men actually worry about the size, shape, color, and general appearance of their ballsacks. As a woman, as long as I’m not having to cleave my way through the Schwartzwald of pubes or rest my chin on a grapefruits worth of testicle, I’m happy. Testicular implants are almost as popular as breast augmentation following surgical removal of the respective body part. Injury, torsion, or cancer that results in the removal of a testical has been shown to be a psychologically traumatic experience for men. Testicular implants have been utilized since the 1940’s and aid in safely restoring any lost mass or confidence, that can be incurred through the aforementioned traumatic happenstance. Even outside of the occurrence of such physical insult, men have a tendency to worry about their perfectly normal scrotums. Moles, skin tags, freckles, disproportionate sizes, and angle to their personal dangle can all cause concern and mental trepidation for men when presented with the vulnerability of getting nekked. So in conjunction with penis enlargement, there are also specialized treatments that can make your beans look a little less baked.

If we know that women don’t care about girth or appearance, and science says your perfectly equipped why is it that so much stigma is applied to penis size? What is it that compels men everywhere to search for penis enlargement solutions? All of these well researched condolences don’t seem to assuage fears about the radical differences found in the male member. Perhaps it’s not the the quantifiable aesthetics, but the way society has taught men everywhere to concern themselves with penis enlargement and other not so small matters.

Built on Phallacy

The symbol of the phallus, or the penis (generally seen as erect) has been used in art and architecture throughout the world and throughout history. What was once meant to be a proud sign of male fertility and confidence, now has men more concerned about what they’re packing as opposed to honoring forgotten gods. Ancient Greeks and Romans used to build giant schlong shrines to Hermes, hoping that their desires could one day be delivered by him to the feet of the gods he served. Romans would incorporate vaguely phallic designs into their architecture, as would the Egyptians, Babylonians, and even many ancient cultures in the Far East. Obelisks have been an iconic type of architecture employed throughout the ancient world, spanning not only thousands of miles and hundreds of years, but also found throughout starkly different cultures. Figurines have been found from the neolithic period depicting women with phallic heads – talk about penis envy. Phallic shaped amulets were worn by women to ward off evil. Even as recent as the 18th century, women would worship phallic objects, kissing them before placing them upon altars in churches. Making it completely understandable that any contemporary male would consider penis enlargement. As a society, both ancient and modern, we have ingrained penis envy into men the exact same way we’ve ingrained body image issues into women. Worship of these symbols, clearly designed to resemble your trouser snake, have slithered their way as far back through history as the Stone Age. Many buildings today still echo the song of the bishop in your pants. The Carnation Revolution Monument in Portugal, The Gherkin in London, even The Washington Monument in the good ol’ US of A all have a not so modest salute to the morning captain.

The Language of Love

Even the language we use in our everyday life is pretty penis-centric. Man Made, manpower, right-hand-man, man up, are just some of the gender binary language used commonly. In society, we’ve come to a gentlemen’s agreement that these common turns of phrase are not negative in nature, being used by non-misogynists and women alike. But what does this do to the male psyche? In order to have the balls to exist in common culture, a man is constantly reminded that what’s in his pants directly correlates to the power structure around him. Being reinforced in language, men are subtly reminded that strength, power, and ability are all dictated by his masculinity and his manhood. Maleness, being the default setting in our vernacular can have some pretty devastating effects on self-esteem. While we often hear feminists cry rage at these terms, by not being included, men have the linguistic world on their shoulders. The responsibility that is subliminally applied to men through gendered language is crushing. It’s no wonder that men have become hung up on their hang down. Being the dominant sex throughout most cultures since roughly the dawn of time has placed an importance of one’s “maleness”. Where by being a good person, kind, hard working, thoughtful, or intelligent isn’t enough, one also must be strong, capable and hung like the draft horse the traditional male sex role models itself after.

Bigger is Better
In the capitalist societies of the worlds leaders, bigger is always better. We want bigger cars to fill out the driveways of our massive houses. A larger refrigerator for our cavernous man cave. More tools, more land, more money. We are onto bigger and better things. Size is a sign of affluence and status. About the only things we don’t want to be large are our waistlines and our computer chips. In all fairness, this has been mostly true throughout the ages. It’s rare that something small discloses the idea of exclusivity or importance. Skyscrapers were built to showcase power and money. Shrines, colosseums, and temples were all historically erected as a sign of an empire’s wealth, power, and worth. A subtle incantation telling us over and over, since the dawn of the empire, that big is best and the root of all things powerful and desirable. Growth is not only a historical signifier of prosperity, but a biologically ingrained one. The concept of attracting a mate and proliferating your species is biologically coded into almost all of us. We have hormonal and neurological drives to procreate. More kids = better for the species, whereas also more kids = more man power = bigger empire. Bigger empire = triumph. Unfortunately, in contemporary society, bigger empire and more children aren’t exactly what they used to be, so instead, we supplement these historic longings with a fixation on owning bigger things, looking for penis enlargement to go hand in hand with your new V10 Range Rover.

The Man, The Myth, and The Legend

So even though it’s been scientifically proven that women care more about the shape of your body than the digle to your ling, it seems to be perfectly understandable why men still seem to be so concerned about the size of their member, given societal pressures and norms that have been impressed upon males since the dawn of time.

Now, much like cars, houses, and boats, you can also afford to upgrade your penis to impress the flock. A number of different options for penis enlargement are available, ranging from surgical to non-surgical, and expensive to affordable. Penis sleeves and pumps are some great non-surgical ways to introduce a bit of King Kong fury into the bedroom should you or your partner not agree with that age old, and ever important, adage of less is more.
