Before you knew you were hung, did porn actors seem "normal" sized?

[NYC8"]

Same boat here. I'd seen A LOT of porn, there were a few guys who looked exceptional but the rest mostly looked like me so I figured that was average. I had one really close JO bud and compared with him a lot during our porno parties, and we both sort of figured I was average and him on the small side (when it turned out he was average). When I first started sleeping with girls the reactions were unexpected and very illuminating.

Same. Sometimes I'd watch videos with friends and they'd be like "his dick is huge" and I'd be thinking, "looks normal sized to me." But I kind of naively assumed me and the porn guy were normal and my friends were just small, instead of assuming they were normal sized and I had a porno dick.

Once I realized, I was like, Oh, duh.

 

[jackie_p]

omg yes, exactly this!

 

[janzae]

Well not normal, but smaller. It felt really weird why it was meant to be exciting, when I couldn't get into the vids because of the disparity. But it then made sense with the realization of "They aren't small, I'm just way bigger than them!"

I had a feeling most, if not all, hung guys in the age of porn have had the exact same experience. Since we’re only 1%-10% of the male population (depending on your size), how confused we were makes total sense.

I had received compliments from partners on my size and for YEARS I thought it was just flattery… and since I’m not around any hard dicks as a straight male, all I saw was porn and assumed my size was about average.

It really wasn’t until a few years ago that I accepted the size was unusual. So funny and good to hear others were in the same boat.

 

[deleted324044]

Yes I experienced this too. Took me a while to realize it isn't just "the norm".

 

[Henry the horse]

Most of them, although a few like Danny D and Mandingo seemed huge and bigger than me

 

[deleted20311111]

A lot of porn stars seemed small to me. That’s when I realized, shockingly, that a lot of guys lie about their size lol.
“Huge cock” would be smaller than me soft.

 

[bigboules]

yes same thing, at the beginning I thought they were really big, of course there were some very big ones, Rocco Siffredi, the beginnings of Ian Scott, then I understood the use of lenses in the videos and I am quickly realized that a lot were average I was a little disappointed because if I have to watch porn I want to see big dicks lol

 

[halcyondays]

No. I grew up in the 60s & 70s. Porn access was print--primarily Playboy & Penthouse. Not much cock in those.

I learned I was big when friends started calling me kickstand, donkey, firehose, etc., lol, from sports, locker room, swim club and skinny dipping. This was well before I saw any big dick porn for the first time in the 80s.

John Holmes looked normal to me bc my size was normal to me. I didn't even know who he was until someone compared me to him.

Rocco was another one I was confused by: First time I saw him (“The Italian Stallion” days), I thought yeah, he’s kinda thick but only my length. Uhhh, yeah, dude is 6” around, which is only 1/2” thicker than I am, and we’re both just over 7”. But that was back in the days of guys thinking 5-7” is average…which is like saying the average male height is somewhere between 5’8” - 7’8”.

I felt the same way - ripped off! where are the true, genuinely huge ones?! There are only like (back then) 5 guys bigger than I am!

More or less. Most guys in porn still don't look that big to me.

Initially, I actually thought I was small to average. The only real mention of penis size was in Penthouse forum and those were almost always 10, 11, or 12 inches. When I measured mine, 8 and a fraction seemed small.

I remember when my mom found porn in my room and her boyfriend specifically talked to me about a black guy in one pic. He said "I want you to know not all black men are like that." I later figured out he meant the size. The guy's dick really wasn't any bigger than mine, even then.

John Holmes looked normal to me bc my size was normal to me. I didn't even know who he was until someone compared me to him.

I had a friend that nicknamed me John C, which I learned stood for John C Holmes. Even after I learned that, I didn't know who the guy was or see what he famous for for years.

Same here. One of my former coworkers in the early 90s always called me Holmes. I didn't get it till years later. He must have seen it in the men's room. The sink was right by the urinal, and no divider.

 

[SmallDguy]

Wait a minute, do you think yours is "big" at 6.5 x 5 inches? Hard or soft? Cause if hard...bwhaahahah. Get real. If soft thand gd yea it's really big. If you think the size I mentioned hard is big...uh NOOOO! Not trying to be rude or burst bubbles buuut hahaha

 

[Bigone3333]

Think initially back then I was thinking are these guys actually bigger than me but because they were (mostly) in pretty good shape with a big build, they appear average. As I got older and in better shape I realised I probably am bigger than a lot of dudes in porn

 

[mako shark]

Only dirty magazines back when I was young. However I knew that I was bigger erect than most other guys when I tried to bang a couple of "well travelled girls my age" and I just couldn't get it in. Mostly due to the lack of experience on my side and the fact that their previous partners could slip it in without much effort...

I've seen tiny pussy cam girls take in huge dildos. Maybe you are scaring them dry sir.

I first saw porn movies in 1979, age 16, I was about 6.5"x5". The cable provider would run an X-rated film at midnight on Saturdays. Peter North and Tom Byron, Rocco and Nacho seemed normal, John Holmes looked huge, but most looked small. As in, "Did no-one else show up to audition?" small, like Steve Drake. Since my porn video access was limited to one random film a week, it would really disappoint and anger me when the actors were smaller than I was. This was before video rental.
By 17 I was closer to 7" and able to sneak in the back door of a porn store with stalls, like a public bathroom, and watch movies high on the wall from a projector for quarters. (Spending my video game money on porn!) Guys would watch and crawl under the stall, offer me money and beg to suck my "Amazing" cock. I didn't think I was special, just thought they were pervs.
