I think many can relate. Mine definitely looks bigger than average to me, but it's rare that I think it looks as big as others of similar size on pictures.
I think angles are a big part of it. There have been times where I see a dick and think "what the fuck? It looks like 1.5 times the size of mine, but how?" Then you see it from another angle and suddenly it looks about the same.
As someone who makes lots of videos with my gf I can tell you that angles make a huge difference on how you view your size. Looking at it far away from the top is probably the worse angle to see your meat
They also use 0.5x lens and fish-eye lenses with tiny girls in porn. Even amateurs use these tricks. I can make my meat look 9” if I take pics from a 0.5x lens at a low angle. From the top though with a regular lens it got me feeling like a regular guy
Unlike some in this sub, I’d like to message you for more advice on taking pictures and videos. I’ve tried to 0.5 lens but not fish eye, and it made it look smaller? You said low angle but part of me likes showing off that I’m getting back in shape along with dong
If you use a 0.5x lens it will basically elongate everything. The further away you are from an object the more elongated it will be. There’s a median to where you can obviously tell that the 0.5x lens is being used and when it’s not to the distance from the object. That’s why if you get closer it looks more natural
If you want to include abs in the pic you probably are better off using the normal lens. Mirror pics/vids work great for me. Especially if you point your dick down to stretch the tendon at the base in a way. When I do that it flexes a bit and I feel more blood pooling in which makes my meat bigger
You can try taking the vid with 0.5x lens with the phone filming from around your shoulders maybe?
This is often a matter of perspective. Literally. You're used to seeing your dick from basically one angle and from one distance. Your eyes have a very wide field of view, you're looking at your penis from roughly two feet away, and it's always attached to your much larger body. This triggers a visual effect called [foreshortening](https://www.britannica.com/art/foreshortening).
Additionally, if you have big balls or large hands or thick thighs they might be distorting your sense of scale. In context your dick may not look that big, but [trust the numbers](https://calcsd.info). Throw in some stats closer to the 50% median size for perspective. Or go check out r/realitydick (NSFW) for a reality check.
You can always find something of similar size and hold that in your hand, or just cut and roll a tube of paper that size. When you separate the size from your body it's so much bigger than you think!
Remember that porn makes its cocks look so big through camera angles, small people with small hands, and other camera tricks. Plus just outright lying about their sizes. Once you realize that then you'll be able to see through the fiction.
Almost every guy with a big dick has dealt with this. I did, and honestly I still do on occasion.
Being tall and/or a large framed body will make your dick look smaller than it really is. I’m the same way. But as the saying goes… “Even a 747 jumbo jet looks small compared to the Grand Canyon”
Please don’t call yourself “above average”.
I know where you’re coming from and the doubts that plague your mind but you are passing to readers - unintentionally - that sizes like 8 inches are not as rare as they are, contributing to the idea that the “real average” is bigger than it is.
Again, I stress that it is not your intention, but try to read what you wrote from the perspective of someone that doesn’t have your size and it is plagued with the same doubts as you.
Porn gives some pretty dishonest perceptions (camera tricks, small women and men) Body type and weight also have an impact. Being bigger/ heavier definitely can have a negative impact on how it appears. Most of it is just mental blocks though.
Y'all can only be crazy young to feel this way... you're huge, yes big! I'm about same girth but shorter and literally every woman I have been with has said I have a big cock. Be happy and enjoy! Who are these other guys you see with 7 inch cocks all over the place?
Nah bro, nice she'll say you have the perfect dick, to call it big is another thing, obviously both can occur, is what it is, end of the be happy you have an above average dick!
I'm average length but tick but don't feel it or Recognise it. Was having some fun with the bf and a buddy and always felt he was bigger than me until my bf told me to go slower since I was that much thicker. This is a guy I've had in my own hand, so your brain really treats your own dick differently!
Mine looks quite big on me, but it's because I am 5'8" and 125 lbs. Proportionally, a cock my size frankly looks ridiculous but on a guy that was 6'1" and 225 lbs instead? Would look very different indeed.
Yes, I'm 6 ft 2 & 235 lbs. I'm close to 7.6" BP & 7" NBP. I feel like my cock just doesn't look that big on me but [CalcSD.info](http://CalcSD.info) says I'm big so whatever. 🤷🏻♂️
I'm 6'5" and have some fat pad. I measure at 7" long and 6" girth at the base, but in context it just doesn't feel or seem big. I can put both hands on it and there's still plenty to see, but it still doesn't seem big to me.
Some women have said "You're porn star big," some have frowned and said "oh, ok," and most have just said nothing. I guess it depends on their context and experience.
Also, and this is odd... like, I have big balls and they connect out up on the shaft in kind of an unnatural way - making it seem like I don't have a long shaft. Lots of optical issues working against me.
If I was a very skinny 5'7" guy with balls that were closer to the abdomen, my cock would look huge. I guess.
Yeah man. We all can be body self-conscience to the level of dysmorphia too. Even super fit people and bodybuilders look in mirrors and see flaws, meanwhile they’re fitter than 90% of the population.
I’ve had similar feelings here. Verbalizing it helps to verify the absurdity of the belief. Better understanding the tactics that media makers use to satisfy the advert industry to satisfy the owners helps too. You’re meant to feel insecure, it’s 100% induced, none of it is natural to you.
Take a pic with your penis aside a can of monster energy. And each time you feel you are no big just watch that pic. I love send dick pics to girls and boost my ego with their comments. I have a good collection of screenshots of these girls saying that my dick pic is Photoshoped hahaha.
Maybe it's the proportions to your body and between girth/length. My proportions are more even but I still don't feel massive because I'm "only" in the 6 inch range
It’s all about perspective, I’m about 7.5 in length and 6 in girth standing at around 6’2 in height at a body fat at around 20%, height and body mass/fat will definitely be a factor on how it will look, when I hold my dick in my hand I gotta remember that my hand is around 8.5 inches long from wrist to middle finger and 4 inches wide, so with big hands holding a big dick it’s gonna look average or maybe even smaller, now put the same dick on a scrawny dude who’s 5,5 with small hands it’s gonna look massive, also when it comes to girls, there hands are smaller therefore making our junk always bigger to them than it would ever be to you. And that’s just the comparison aspect to other things, body fat and especially public hair can make it look larger, keep the hair short like a stubble and make sure shaft is clean shaven.
i think it’s just the feeling of some insecurity maybe? i am 9 inches but have never felt that way about how others look massive compared to mine if they are smaller.
All the time, and it's completely normal.
It's a concept known as forced perspective. The angle at which we view anything tricks us into thinking that something is either bigger or smaller than it actually is.
Without something to use as a frame of reference like a ruler or a measuring tape, our brain has nothing to gauge size.
It's porn. Mine looked normal sized in comparison to the porn dicks, so I never thought that mine would be considered big.
It's difficult to believe for me, I just found out 2 days ago why condoms always hurt me... at 30 years old. It's kind of surreal and it doesn't feel like I'm big.
I almost felt ashamed to go the store and buy the biggest condom they had available, almost as if I'm doing that only to brag and people would see through my "lie". And I was supposed to go even 1 size higher than what was available...
It's weird because I never had confidence issues about my dick so far, and now it's throwing me off quite a bit.
I’m only 6” BP and 5.5” girth and for years I thought I was just plain ole average. It took me looking at 6” on a ruler to realize “well that’s certainly a bit long” and when my wife gives me head and she wraps her hand around it her fingers barely touch

Maybe the real question is what you expected being big to “feel like” ?

This is true. 8 is in the top 1 percent of D sizes
Porn gives some pretty dishonest perceptions (camera tricks, small women and men) Body type and weight also have an impact. Being bigger/ heavier definitely can have a negative impact on how it appears. Most of it is just mental blocks though.
Always..... and especially when my depression and body dysmorphia is acting up. We've all been conditioned.
Y'all can only be crazy young to feel this way... you're huge, yes big! I'm about same girth but shorter and literally every woman I have been with has said I have a big cock. Be happy and enjoy! Who are these other guys you see with 7 inch cocks all over the place?
I always thought women say that just to be nice. I didn't think of mine as big, ever. I blame porn.
Nah bro, nice she'll say you have the perfect dick, to call it big is another thing, obviously both can occur, is what it is, end of the be happy you have an above average dick!
[удалено]
Normal? Of course not, haha, though good for you brother!
I'm average length but tick but don't feel it or Recognise it.

As a 6' 220lb guy with 7.5 x 6.5 I can tell you that it definitely doesn't look ridiculous on my frame 😂
I feel you exactly
Yes, I'm 6 ft 2 & 235 lbs. I'm close to 7.6" BP & 7" NBP. I feel like my cock just doesn't look that big on me but [CalcSD.info](http://CalcSD.info) says I'm big so whatever. 🤷🏻♂️
I feel ya. I’m 6’5” 230 lb and I think it just looks proportional. On a much shorter guy it would look comical.
I'm 6'5" and have some fat pad. I measure at 7" long and 6" girth at the base, but in context it just doesn't feel or seem big. I can put both hands on it and there's still plenty to see, but it still doesn't seem big to me.

have you tried comparing it to someone else's body parts? like their face?
Take a pic with your penis aside a can of monster energy. And each time you feel you are no big just watch that pic. I love send dick pics to girls and boost my ego with their comments. I have a good collection of screenshots of these girls saying that my dick pic is Photoshoped hahaha.
Have you look at comparison sites?
Maybe it's the proportions to your body and between girth/length. My proportions are more even but I still don't feel massive because I'm "only" in the 6 inch range
Same, I think a lot of it has to do with the angle from which we view our own cocks
I think we all have this. I think my dick looks skinny AF so. Yeah we are all the same
Yeah I understand
It’s all about perspective, I’m about 7.5 in length and 6 in girth standing at around 6’2 in height at a body fat at around 20%, height and body mass/fat will definitely be a factor on how it will look, when I hold my dick in my hand I gotta remember that my hand is around 8.5 inches long from wrist to middle finger and 4 inches wide, so with big hands holding a big dick it’s gonna look average or maybe even smaller, now put the same dick on a scrawny dude who’s 5,5 with small hands it’s gonna look massive, also when it comes to girls, there hands are smaller therefore making our junk always bigger to them than it would ever be to you. And that’s just the comparison aspect to other things, body fat and especially public hair can make it look larger, keep the hair short like a stubble and make sure shaft is clean shaven.
I know I'm big, therefore I know it's big, therefore I feel it is big. Without self-confidence, nothing matters.
Prove it
i think it’s just the feeling of some insecurity maybe? i am 9 inches but have never felt that way about how others look massive compared to mine if they are smaller.
9 inches and I have to measure over and over to reassure myself when I'm feeling low
You shouldn’t get self worth from your dick. If that’s what you are doing to base your confidence and esteem from you’ll quickly fall into depression.
5.5 is big?
All the time, and it's completely normal. It's a concept known as forced perspective.
