Morgentaler on Penis Size and Male Sexuality. Surprizingly insightful.

Nice article....I've read similar things... The good news that goes with it is that "most" women don't have the big "O" during intercourse anyway.

Womens satisfaction starts with the drive to the nice resturant etc....

PDA,

Thanks for posting that interview.

Men have no voice. Women have a voice to talk everywhere, and men don’t.

This was the subject of the discussion I encouraged at my support group last night. The two psychologists in the group thought that it was embarrassment that kept men from talking about such subjects as penile shrinkage with their urologists. I think that outside of a supportive support group or anonymous internet forum setting, men are just bad about articulating their fears or even admitting we have them. Women are naturals - they get together and love to share feelings with one another, in general. We men have to take a page from their handbook if we ever are going to convince our doctors to study and address this.

It's not all on the patient. Most of our doctors are men and many seem reluctant to initiate conversations about such issues. The ones that do want to discuss it are in a quandary: how do they create an environment conducive to a frank discussion? How do they initiate a conversation without having the man withdraw or run screaming from the room? Should wives/partners be part of such discussions, or will that inhibit frankness?

Kinsey started his work in the 1940s and Masters & Johnson in the 1950s - you'd think we'd have gotten further with all this by now. Evidently, there are large cultural barriers.

How to seduce a man: show up naked, bring beer.

actually, beer is optional...

One more thought on the subject. I read a very interesting comment on some website (can't cite, as I'll never find it now, having come across it while site-hopping at 3AM one morning, and half asleep) to the effect that there really is a sure-fire way to discover what really appeals to men and women respectively.

The argument went like this. There are "men's magazines" out there (Playboy probably being the prime example) and "women's magazines" (Cosmopolitan likely being the prime example there). Now the publishers of these types of magazines are putting them out there for one reason: to make money. But the only way they'll make money off of them is if they sell. But the only way they'll sell is if the people who buy them are genuinely interested in the content of those magazines. Thus, the people who put these kinds of magazines together and publish them will do everything they can to assure that the content is what people are genuinely interested in.

Okay, there are some flaws in that logic, granted, but, still, a comparison of the content of a typical Playboy issue with that of a typical Cosmopolitan issue probably does reflect to a large degree what's on the minds of men vs. women.

Women from the 'beginning' have just 'herded' up & waited for the 'male'....

That's while the males were fighting to the death just for the right....

Getting back to the main topic - I notice that movies generally disparage 2 groups - overweight women and men with small penises. Males villains are often alluded to having a small dick or having "to compensate for something". This has even crept into some kids movies, such as Shrek. Not the most important problem, I know, but just one more thing that may affect some men suffering with prostate cancer (among others).

While it is not fair, they likely get away with the overweight jokes because excess weight is something, to some extent, that can be reversed. However, I don't think they could get away with filling the media with jokes about small-breasted women without a women's group raising complaints. But who wants to be the man to lead the small penis movement?
