Help! My Man’s Penis Is Too Small
Your partner’s small penis needn’t condemn you to a life of sexual dissatisfaction! On the contrary, read on to find out how to rev up your sex life by turning this anatomical peculiarity into a real source of fantasy and pleasure.
Your partner's small penis won't prevent you from enjoying a fulfilling sex life. In this article, the LOVE TEAM explains how you can strengthen your intimate bond and enjoy amazing sensual experiences together.

​Our perception of penis size has been largely influenced by pornography and media portrayals, which showcase bodies that are often far removed from reality. Repeated exposure to such images cause unrealistic expectations, for both men and their partners, fuelling irrational complexes. In reality, diversity within bodies is the norm, and pleasure doesn’t have a universal standard either. Freeing oneself from these ideals is a great first step in rediscovering a more serene, authentic sex life.

What Size of Penis Could Be Considered “Small”?

How small is too small? It's all a question of average size. The figures are clear: the average size of an erect penis is around 5.25 inches (and about 3.50 inches at rest). If your partner's measurements are close to these figures, there's no question that he's within the general average.
On the other hand, a penis measuring less than 2.75 inches when erect is referred to in medical literature as a "micropenis".

These figures will allow you to judge whether your partner really has a micropenis or whether his penis size is just slightly below average, so that you can proceed accordingly.

​It’s also incredibly important to distinguish between perceived and actual penis size. Stress, fatigue, the cold or even a lack of self-confidence can influence their erection, giving your man’s penis the impression of being smaller than it actually is. To the contrary, a relaxed atmosphere teeming with desire and emotional security favours a better sexual response and a more positive perception of one’s own body.

The Benefits of a Small Penis

​Being on the smaller side down there often pushes people to break away from the idea that sex is all about penetration. This is a much more global approach to pleasure that encourages different forms of stimulation that are often neglected, yet essential for a fulfilling sex life. It’s precisely this variation in sexual practices that transforms a couple’s intimate life.

The benefits of having a small penis are undeniable. Here are just a few.
Benefits of a Small Penis
  • When performing oral sex or enjoying anal sex, a small penis will seem less impressive to you, making you feel more confident and ready to take on the challenge. The experience will be more relaxing and you'll feel more pleasure.
  • Less endowed men tend to be incredibly attentive to foreplay. He will have developed a very special prowess when it comes to other types of sexual stimulation and will have a desire to satisfy you.
  • After childbirth, sex is often painful. A small penis will help you get back into the swing of things.

What Are the Best Positions to Try With a Partner Who Has a Small Penis?

If your partner has a particularly small penis, try the following positions to enjoy deeper penetration:

  • Doggy style: For guaranteed deep penetration and G-spot stimulation.
  • Girl-on-top: For clitoral and G-spot stimulation. The woman sits on top of the man (who is on his back) and controls the depth of penetration at her own pace.
  • The Anvil: For the deepest kind of penetration and intense G-spot stimulation. The woman lies on her back with her legs on the man's shoulders.

Penetration is simply one sexual practice amongst an endless array in the world of intimate fun. Oral sex, caresses, erotic massages, manual stimulation or even the use of sex toys allows couples to vary pleasure and intensify sensations. By diversifying practices, couples can discover sources of pleasure that they never would have imagined, thus strengthening relationship bonds.
