“If a partner isn’t physically comfortable with a larger penis, it can feel like a deterrent as it causes physical pain,” sex and relationship therapist Janet Zinn explains to me in a phone interview.
The Journal of Sexual Medicine has verified the average penis measures at roughly 5.6 inches technically, that means anything larger is considered “big.” While research tells us that “ideal” penis sizes are much larger, less than 3% of the world’s population measures over 8 inches.īut while a big dick may be praised and envied, the reality is it can often be a detriment, especially for gay men who engage in anal sex.
