Q2. I feel that my penis is too small and because of this, avoid communal changing rooms: is there anything I can do about this?

A2. This is a very common reaction amongst men who feel that they are lacking in this department and feel embarrassed about this. They tend to avoid any situation in which other men will see them naked for fear of ridicule or feel a sense of inadequacy.

But in many of these cases it is a case of difference rather than bigger or smaller. By that we mean that men who have a long, thin penis appear to be better endowed compared to men with a short, fat penis but this isn’t always true.

Looking at a penis from a particular angle can make it seem smaller but it will appear a normal size when looking in a mirror.

Other aspects include excess growth of pubic hair which can hide some of the penis and being overweight. Excess weight around the stomach will result in a roll of fat which can hang down and hide some of the penis. This tends to be a problem in men who are obese who find it very difficult to see their penis.

The thing to remember is that your penis is likely to be of average size but just different to another man’s. There is also the chance that other men in the changing room feel exactly the same as you and are reluctant to appear naked in front of others.

One option is that of penis enlargement surgery. This can give you the result you want but there is no guarantee of this and like all surgery, is no without its risks. You need to consider this option very carefully.
