00:00Doctor, I really don't know what to do.
00:03I'm too embarrassed to even think about getting married.
00:07My size, it's just too small.
00:11I'll never be able to satisfy my wife.
00:14How can I live with that?
00:16I understand how you feel, but let's take a closer look before jumping to conclusions.
00:21Why don't you let me examine you first?
00:24Well, I've got to say, you're perfectly normal.
00:29There's absolutely nothing wrong with your size.
00:32In fact, it's right around the average.
00:35What? But how can that be?
00:38I've always felt like I'm too small.
00:40Everyone made fun of me in college, and it's been stuck in my mind ever since.
00:45It's common for many men to feel insecure about this.
00:49But let me explain a few things that might put your mind at ease.
00:52The average erect penis length is typically between 5 and 5.5 inches.
00:57For some, it might be a bit less, and for others, a bit more.
01:02But your size falls perfectly within that range.
01:05But, Doctor, I've heard stories of men being much larger.
01:09Doesn't that matter?
01:11You're not alone in thinking that way.
01:13But the truth is, size isn't as important as people think.
01:17In fact, over the last 30 years, the average length has increased globally by 25%.
01:24This hasn't made a significant difference in sexual satisfaction.
01:28What matters most is the emotional connection and mutual understanding between partners.
01:34Really? I always thought I was inadequate.
01:38There's a common misconception about it.
01:40Allow me to explain how to measure size correctly.
01:43When standing, the length is measured from the pubic bone to the tip.
01:47The thickest area in the center is where girth is measured.
01:51You shouldn't be concerned because your dimensions are normal.
01:54But what about things like genetics? Can that affect size?
01:58Yes. While heredity does play a part, it is beyond your control.
02:03It's interesting to note that your mother, not your father, has the genes that control penis size.
02:09Size can also be influenced by other variables, most of which are outside your control during pregnancy,
02:15such as nutrition, age, and environmental exposure.
02:19I've heard that certain ethnicities have different average sizes. Is that true?
02:24It is. Different studies have shown varying averages across ethnicities.
02:29But remember, these are just averages and don't necessarily apply to everyone.
02:34What's more important is how you feel about yourself.
02:37So, there's really nothing wrong with me?
02:40Absolutely nothing. You're perfectly normal.
02:43The idea that bigger is always better is just a myth.
02:47In fact, some studies have shown that being too large can be uncomfortable for both partners.
02:53I never thought about it that way. I've been so worried for nothing.
02:58Exactly. It's important to focus on what truly matters in a relationship.
03:03If you're still concerned, just know that conditions like a micro-penis,
03:07which is under 3.7 inches when erect, are very rare.
03:11And you don't fall into that category.
03:14It really helps, doctor. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
03:19I'm glad to hear that. Just remember, you're not alone in feeling this way.
03:24But there's no need to worry. You're perfectly normal and capable of having a happy, fulfilling life.
03:31Thank you so much, doctor. I'll definitely keep this in mind.
03:36Anytime. Stay positive, happy, and healthy.
03:40And remember, size isn't everything.
