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

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.

This. Exactly my experience. When I was younger, porn talked of 12" cocks and never really mentioned girth. From my perspective, my cock looked similar sized to most I saw in porn. There were plenty of monster examples that convinced me my cock was average.

I remember when the Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee video came out (yes, I am that old). Everyone was talking about how big his cock is. I saw the video and thought it wasn't special, a little on the thin side.

My girlfriend told me she was a little frightened when she saw my hard cock for the first time. I thought she was just trying to flatter me and I did not accept what she was saying at all.

It was only a few years ago that I realised my cock is big and I am statistically in the top 1%.

Your knowledge puts all studies to shame: Women's Preferences for Penis Size: A New Research Method Using Selection among 3D Models

Exerpt:
Women preferred a penis of slightly larger circumference and length for one-time (length = 6.4 inches/16.3 cm, circumference = 5.0 inches/12.7 cm) versus long-term (length = 6.3 inches/16.0 cm, circumference = 4.8 inches/12.2 cm) sexual partners. These first estimates of erect penis size preferences using 3D models suggest women accurately recall size and prefer penises only slightly larger than average.

I've read about this study but still can't fathom women wanting a guy with a cock less than 5.5" girth. My cock is 6.5" girth and this study suggests I would be outright rejected by most women, if they had to choose up front based on my cock size.

Luckily, I have found a few women who have met me for sex just because they saw my photos and wanted to be filled up. I guess they are outliers.

I am uncertain at how well this research is done, but it shows the average dildo girth is only 4.65”. I would expect this number to be bigger, if that is what the average woman likes.

This is interesting to hear everyone’s similar experiences to mine… the first porn movie I ever saw was at a buddies house, snuck his dads porn staring John Holmes. I remember thinking he looked really big on screen, but when flaccid he looked really similar to my dads cock size and shape (my dad was also built similar at 6-1 and thin). As I grew up my cock ended up looking just like my dads in size and as I got exposed to more porn with the “huge 12” cocks” and thought back to John Holmes I realized I was quite a bit above average and looked similar to all those big cock porn stars (except for the biggest like Mandingo…)

I actually had this dicks-cussion with @MDM8 which got me curious: Before that 1st comment about how big your dick is, did you watch porn and think, yeah, a couple of those guys are hung, but everyone else is like me or smaller? I had this seriously skewed view of what "hung porn actors" meant, because I was 6.5" x 5" *already*, and porn actors all supposedly have these monster dongs. This'll date me, but I worked in a video store back then (ahh, the 1980s) and had access to hundreds of porn titles, so I watched a decent amount, and couldn't help but think yeah, that John Holmes guy has a big dick, and maybe one or two others, but otherwise? Everyone looked "normal" to me, or SMALL! I remember even thinking that Peter North and I are about the exact same size.

Anyone else experience something like this? Porn has really rocked us all as far as body dysmorphia goes. Even those of us with big dicks!

yes... lol... I remember always being jealous of how long they could last and the ropes they shot.. But theatrics you know... split scenes... different angles... pizza break...
