I just finished watching two films. I found both very interesting, and it made me realize that men don’t talk about their bodies as much as women do.
The first film, My Penis and I, is about a man who goes through a personal journey about finding out why he dislikes his penis. At the end of the film, he decides not to get surgery to enlarge his penis and realizes that his issues are psychological and not entirely physical. At the end of the film, he finally accepts himself fully and grows as a person after years of feeling insecure.
The second film, My Penis and Everyone Else’s, takes place roughly two years after his first film, and he wants to find out why men don’t talk openly about their genitals and why it’s such a taboo subject. He attempts to interview many men, most who are very reluctant to talk about the subject at all, and meets a man who does go through a penis enlargement surgery. I’ll warn you now, the scenes of the surgery are very graphic (and if you’re not a fan of surgery types shows then skip that part of the film and move on to the next section). At the end of the film, he does end up getting men to talk about their penises, and it’s very interesting once they do.
After I watched both films, I decided to chat a bit with my fiancé about the subject, he said pretty much the same things that were said in My Penis and Everyone Else’s. He couldn’t really come up with a straight explanation of why men don’t talk about it, except that it’s taboo and men only see other men in locker rooms or in pornography.
We talked briefly about how the actors in the porn movies are specifically chosen for certain looks, and real men and real women don’t necessarily look like that in real life. The closest I can compare the issue of penis size is how some women feel about their breast size.
Both films also touched base on the subject of what men perceive women to believe what an ideal penis size is (the film about the vagina also had touched base on this too). Personally for me, I’ve never cared what a man’s penis size is. I’ve found from personal experience, that the larger his penis is, the less pleasurable it was for me (do to discomfort, or because men with large penises assume that if they are well endowed that they just need to stick it in and actually have very little or no talent in pleasing a woman whatsoever).
I would highly recommend theses films to anyone who is interested in the subject, and especially to those men out there that feel that their not up to par with the rest of the male population.
It doesn’t matter how big it is, it’s what you do with it. :)
