#22Only thing that actually works without horrifying side effects is a Bathmate. Even then, the results are quite limited, and very temporary. C’est la vie
Some good old-fashioned body positivity might work even better with even fewer side effects.

#23This is so sad. I think there is an underdiscussed crisis with some segments of men.
Men have a lot of problems that are under discussed and swept under the rug. Loneliness issues, confidence issues, perception issues, issues with men thinking their life doesn't matter to just name a few. The suicide rate among men is so high for a lot of reasons.

#24From a technology point of view there is a lesson in how a company controls the media it's customers consume. How alternative sources of data get discredited and how untrusted the information found online is. The result, when you can't trust anyone, is to trust the source you want to believe. Many men want to believe they'll get a bigger penis.

It will continue to be underdiscussed unless there is big money in it. Males are disposable genetically and evolutionarily.

when making fun of a man's penis size for whatever reason becomes normalized, it isn't surprising body dysmorphia becomes more prevalent. double standards galore. mens issues just don't matter.

#27IIRC the Kamasutra says there's 3 genital sizes for both men and women; big (horse/elephant), medium (bull/mare) and small (hare/deer). It says you can have great sex with up to 1 size difference, and although the woman being one size smaller is preferable to her being one size bigger, it calls equal unions the most perfect ones. And that's just refering to vaginal intercourse itself, of course there is so much more to sex.
I don't know what my point is, other than: don't fret! If you find someone you like, and who likes you, a lot of silliness and unfounded fear will fade away.

I mean I’m not tracking and classifying users by their neuroses. I get the sense it is mostly male Asian immigrants living in CA unable to get any dates in a competitive, underpopulated, mostly white female dating market.
I agree that this is a thing and one that I have witnessed but not on HN. And yeah, there are studies indicating white women as having the largest (or maybe second, black women were up there) racial ingroup bias in dating [0] [0]: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/okcupid-race_n_5811840
This looks like men dislike black women, and women like men of their own race.

What is this small group of people you refer to?

If so, they need merely read johnnyworker's post at the top of this topic to find that there are "plenty of fish in the sea" (possibly 2/3 of them!) that would be satisfied with their physique.

I wonder what the kama sutra's model has to say about surveys indicating that women who have sex with women tend to have significantly more satisfying sex lives than women who have sex with men. Presumably, for the purposes of the model that its authors are getting at, the magnitude of "size mismatch" between two mares is infinitely greater than that of a mare and a horse or hare. Which might imply that the model is deeply, fundamentally broken.
It seems to have a track record of breaking people, too.
