Giraffes "battle" for females to mate with. The winner gets the dame and wins by bashing the other giraffe with his skull and horns. And, as physics tells us, the longer neck means more leverage, the more leverage means more power.
So the only reason that giraffes have large necks is to hopefully win females.
This happens all the time in nature. Bucks' horns are long and cluttered and often get caught on branches. They do not help in the hunt of food (since they are herbivores). They have one purpose: to win over females.
It seems that women are very picky (I touched upon the reason of this here).
So, in our civilized culture where beating other men to bloody pulps rarely warrants subsequent sex sessions and usually ends in arrest, how can we men prove ourselves amongst the endless hordes of others?
Well, our penises. And the term "bigger is better."
In our day and age, men "are" their penises. If they have a small penis, they are rendered to baffling unimpressive messes. They somehow feel inadequate and sexually inept.
Many of these reasons are simple: hell, look at porn. It is very rare for a man to have a dick larger than 7 inches, and some have guys upwards of 12 inches.
Even women (not all, obviously) stoop to this. They have been taught by culture to judge a man by his member's size.
I mean, when was the last time you spoke to another man about your penis? Have you ever done it? And doctors don't count. It is completely taboo to discuss our wangs with other men. We fear the mockery of our fellow brothers, laughing at whatever is wrong with our penises, when in reality, there is no normal penis. They are large, small, fat, skinny, bent, etc etc and they all function perfectly.
But even this logic cannot trump the overbearing psychological baggage having a small penis brings to the table for millions of men.
So what do they do? How do they cope?
Enter the forum based website, Measurection (Measure-Erection). A site that begun ten years ago to help men feeling too small to please has grown into an immense help group for men all over the world needing to reveal their sexual insecurities.
The forum has obtained a massive amount of members (no pun intended). Upwards of 65 thousand registered users (and hundreds of thousands of anonymous guests).
Discussions range from small dicks (the one that started it all) to erectile disfunction to problematic fetishes. But the consistent discussion is penis size.
It is sad, really, that something embedded into us by our culture gives men such intense problems. It is like the whole "perfect breasts" problem that women have, except there is much more demanding pressure on penal size. It is something that every single guy in America has noticed and/or worried about.
Everyday men go to rant about their member's firm grasp on their confidence. Women even post and try to lend a helping hand. Some girls have a fetish for small penises, actually. But our society has a true problem with sex. Guys could get all the advice in the world, all the inspiration in the world, all the support in the world, and they would still feel inadequate.
Why do you think that most people who have gotten penis enlargement surgery go back and get it again? Because you can never be too big. And in that sense, you will never be thoroughly happy with your penis, unless you can learn to cope and just be happy with out letting it haunt you.
A penis is a penis. Just learn to roll your eyes at Extenze commercials (they are definitely lame enough to justify that response).
In fact, in the ancient Roman's time, small penises were seen as ideal. Bigger did not mean better. Actually, Satyrs were mythological figures with large penises who always had major flaws. They were usually depicted with goat-like attributes. They were uncivilized, uncontrolled and were very rude. Contrasting them is the infamous Greek sculptures with very small "members." They were seen as representing the perfect male form.
But it seems that in our fast-paced world where competition does not revolve around intellect, things have changed.
Sex is a beautiful thing. It is a spiritual thing. There is no fucking reason this much stress, drama and pressure is being put on such a natural and wonderful thing.
Though as subjective as sex is, there is one dominating objective truth: true love will always overcome anything, even if that anything is very very small.
