> HN seems to have a small group of people who openly advocate for their own race’s inferiority on the basis of average penis size that crops up from time to time. it does?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
This vaguely reminds me of self-image problems vs. unreasonably beauty standards that we mainly associate with young women. It’s definitely quite different in that everyone in public sees a girl’s face and the shape of her body, whereas penises are hidden by default. Also the “toxic” standard for women is everywhere across media, whereas excepting pure pornography penises are rarely and briefly shown. But these stori…
With men it may be hidden, but it affects "measuring up" as you say in exactly the way that matters to most straight men: having more (or even any!) sexual partners, especially as supposedly they're having less sex than ever[0]. It's one of the many factors in the toolbox fallacy: "If only I was 'big' enough, I'd be more confident with women". [0] https://www.healthline.com/health-news/young-adults-especial...

I don’t know what you think a life coach does. But one that solves their own problems and is happy is probably a good one. I think one thing we have leaned over time is it is not always possible to change how one thinks. For example. Some men like women, and do not find other men attractive at all. No amount of conditioning may change this. Or even something as simple as eating, an urge so strong that reasoning about…
It sucks that some people develop such neuroses, but it’s pretty strictly detrimental to their lives and mental health.
These surgeries are largely unnecessary, solving imagined problems. If a life coach looks at this and sees a real problem and a positive solution… I would steer clear. I would say this person has a distorted, ungrounded perspective
IIRC 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…
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…
Back when I was a regular listener to talk radio, the ads for PE snake oil were absolutely ubiquitous. They aired more than any other product I can remember (except maybe Bose Wave radio). I never knew how to feel for this target audience. It sucks people are vulnerable to obvious snake oil ads. It also sucks that PE is a thing that's important to people. Male body shaming is weird and oogy.
Bose Wave radio adverts on the radio. Damn.

One of the funniest things is Reddit “evolving” to lock threads or downvote comments about people’s appearances on popular threads, but simultaneously embracing comments that associate a man with perceived negative qualities as having a small penis. And it will almost always be the top comment.
