Sex Question of the Week: How do I measure up?

Wednesday July 19, 2006
“All the guys I see in porn basically have dicks the size of my arm. Partly because I’m shy, and partly because I have scars from surgery when I was a kid, I don’t shower in front of other guys and haven’t seen a naked guy since I was a boy. I’m guessing that porn stars are just naturally bigger, but want to know how I measure up.”

Like you, I tend to be shy about my body. And even though I personally would have a hard time with it, I believe if we all lived in a culture where our bodies weren’t considered dirty, and nudity was more normalized, we’d all have far fewer hang ups about how we measure up.

The first thing you need to know is that most of what you see in porn isn't real , and you should never compare yourself to what you see I porn films.
