I'm quite satisfied with my penis, even though I used to be teased about its lack of size when I was younger (even though it is quite average according to all the surveys). I don't know if there are specific qualities that I like better than others. I must mention that it curves slightly to the left – something that many people worry about – but I've grown to rather like its shape. Besides, if it were straight, masturbation wouldn't feel the same, and my penis would have all the identity of a porn star's (that is, none). Also, the curve and slight incline makes having an erection in my trousers really easy and enjoyable.

This Week's Wackiest Response:
The dang thing writes out my monthly checks, shells peanuts, sips beverages through a straw, and gives me a lifetime of countless pleasures...I would say I'm pretty happy with it.

My penis, Bubba, has many friends. That is his best quality. Bubba is attractive and outgoing. He likes to meet strangers and often performs for them. His close friends like to play with him or watch him on his web cam. Even though Bubba likes sunlight and the outdoors, he usually does not complain about being kept in the dark. Bubba is a happy penis and he has brought me much happiness. Even when he rains, I believe Bubba has also put some sunshine into the lives of a few other people.

Personally, I think of my penis as my little friend. It's always there for me, I always know where to find it, and it always knows how to make me happy. I love my penis. I'd have to say it's my best friend.
- age 15, Georgia
I just love my penis! It's slightly bent, but that actually comes in quite handy when I masturbate because it fits my hand perfectly. I don't actually have a preferred masturbation technique; I'm just glad I'm a man!
- age 28, Switzerland
I guess I like my penis – although, like just about everyone who doesn't have a 9-inch penis, I'd like mine to be a little longer. But I do like its width, which at about 3 inches I find very arousing.
- age 16, Ohio
Really, it's silly the way some of us guys worry about penis size. If there were some exercise we could do that would make our penises bigger, that would be one thing. I can understand worrying about abs, because you have control over what they look like – but when it comes to your penis, you have what you have; you just have to deal with it. The largest I have ever seen mine was a little over 6 inches, but I really don't care. I am, however, fairly happy with the size of my testicles: They are rather large, and when I work out or sit in a hot tub, they hang loose, which I love. So I say, don't get worked up over something you can't change easily.
- age 18, Georgia
People always seem desperate to have as large a penis as possible, but I think the complete opposite. When I was 13, my penis was already 6 1/2 inches flaccid and 8 1/2 inches fully erect. It was a major embarrassment to me and a huge joke to all the other boys in my class at school, especially considering my generally small build. Unwanted erections are a nightmare for me. I am on a swim team, and the bulge in my swim trunks is quite obvious if I have even a very slight erection. I dread taking school showers because the water pressure on my penis can give me a full erection. All my friends think that I'm gay. I would give anything to have a very small penis (less than 5 inches).

The only thing I would change about my penis is that I would love to have my foreskin back. I don't like the way it looks cut [circumcised].
- age 22, Florida
I don't really know how I *feel* about my penis. I have never really considered it in that way. It's like saying, "How do you feel about your finger?" or "Which qualities of your forehead do you like?" Each has its own purpose and use. So...use accordingly.
- age 15, California
I love my penis. I wish it were a couple of inches longer and maybe a bit thicker, and I wish I could change back and forth between being circumcised and intact. I love the sensitivity that being intact gives, but a circumcised penis just looks a whole lot better.
- age 48, Missouri
I feel okay about my penis. I wish it could be bigger right now so I could enjoy it more during masturbation, but I just need to finish puberty – I started late. The thing I like most about my penis is the head. I love that part the most because it is the best feeling when I rub it for a while and then I have an amazing orgasm and ejaculation from it. I also like how smooth it is. It has some veins, but it doesn't have rigid bumps or any pubic hair all the way up the shaft, only at the base.
- age 15, New Jersey
The best thing about my penis is that it gets erect easily and often. I never have a problem with that. While I enjoy it, like a lot of guys, I wish it were longer and thicker. It's about average; but most people aren't satisfied just being average. I also really wish I were uncircumcised. I feel I am missing out on a lot because of that.
- age 24, Illinois
I am almost 16, but I look like I am 13, or maybe a young 14. I am short, too. So naturally, my penis is smaller than most guys my age. It is around 5 inches erect, which isn't tiny, but it looks small because it has no girth. I am not that self-conscious about it, though, because I am not near done growing. So in general, I would say I feel neutral about my penis – it isn't great but I don't mind. Now if it doesn't grow anymore, I won't be as happy.
- age 15, Texas
I love my penis! I wouldn't trade it for the world. The only thing I'm a little embarrassed about is that it's pretty small when it's not erect. But when I'm aroused, it grows and grows and grows! It's kind of weird, really. Sometimes I wonder where all of that penis came from!
- age 23, Missouri
Although my penis does not yet have a large diameter, it has grown significantly in the last 6 months or so. When erect, it points straight upwards – almost in the 12 o'clock position. All the other boys in my class have penises that are still very small, as mine was when I was 11. So they all stare at me in the showers, which makes me feel good. Sometimes I can feel it becoming erect just because of this.
- age 13, Sweden
I'm very unhappy with its size – 4 1/2 inches when erect and tiny when soft. I would love to be one of those guys with an "average size" penis and not have to worry about what people would say if they see it. It is extremely humiliating knowing that 12-to-14-year-old kids who are still growing usually have penises larger than my adult one.
- age 30, Canada
I adore the shape and appearance of my penis, which is just like a banana. It is thick in the middle of the shaft, has a slight curve, and tapers down at the end. Most of my friends have more of a bulge at the end, and they think the shape of mine is cool. And of course, when I pull back my foreskin, it looks just like a delicious banana being peeled!
- age 16, United Kingdom
I feel connected to my penis, and in turn, it feels connected to me. I base this statement on the fact that I get these powerful vibes from it whenever I give it a bit of attention, and of course it gives me a "salute of approval." We've known each other for about 60 years, never had an argument, been through prostate infections, produced fine, powerful erections, and brought pleasure to a number of women – plus, it helped to create 3 wonderful children. Every now and then it needs a bit of a boost with the "blue pill"; then, we have the sense of being 16 again. My penis has never called in sick, had a headache, or not been up for an adventure in all our years together. We are close friends, and I hope this continues for years to come.
- age 59, North Carolina
What I like most about my penis is its color. I have quite pale, white skin, but my penis is dark brown. So I always get noticed and looked at. Although some boys joke about it, I really enjoy this difference of mine, and I love the surprise on people's faces when they see my penis for the first time in a changing room or toilet.
- age 17, Netherlands
After 35 years, and a relationship with it for at least 25 years, I am so content with it! Oh, the places we go, the things we see, and the adventures we embark upon!
- age 35, Massachusetts
I am happy with my penis. I'm 16 years old, circumcised, and it is about 6 inches long. I get a lot of pleasure from it (masturbating), and I can have great orgasms and ejaculate decent distances. I am happiest with its size, I think, even though it isn't huge. It works well for me, and I'm happy it's not any shorter than it is. Overall, I think I'm a pretty lucky guy.
- age 16, Canada
I am quite pleased with its size, shape, and overall look. Erect, it measures a good 6 1/2 inches, though others have said it looks bigger than that to them. And it has a good thickness that I can really get a grip on when I masturbate. When fully erect, it looks and feels great, and of course it gives me great pleasure when I stroke it. These days, I wish it would become erect more often. Still, even in a non-aroused state it feels good swinging between my legs, especially when I'm nude or not wearing underwear.
- age 46, Tennessee
I used to think I had a large penis until I discovered that some of my friends who are only a little older than me are anywhere from two to four inches longer. Right now, I fear that my penis is too small, although most sources insist that penis length is not that important. However, being only 14, I think that I am self-conscious. For now, I can just hope that my penis will get bigger.
- age 14, New Jersey
I love penises. They never fail to fascinate me. They seem to have a mind of their own, and it gives me a feeling of power when I can just look at one and it becomes erect. I love the shape of an erect penis, especially looking at it from the side. I also find circumcised ones much more attractive than uncircumcised ones in the flaccid state.
- age 55, United Kingdom (female)
I am not really happy about any qualities of my penis. It's not quite big enough (5 inches) and I'm circumcised, so masturbation is not really the pleasure it would have been with an uncircumcised one. However, it is a penis and it does its work!
- age 15, Bulgaria
My girlfriend says the following qualities of my penis make her happy: (1) the uncut foreskin, due to the many things that can be done with it (such as ease of insertion and different possibilities for oral sex); (2) the thickness of the head, because it can better penetrate the walls of the vagina; (3) its length, because it can reach farther up into her; and (4) the thickness and length coupled together allows for feeling of "fullness." The best thing is that I am always clean and ready for whatever she wants to venture toward.
- age 41, Illinois
The only thing I don't like is that hair grows up the shaft. I think some girls might be turned off by it. Other than that, my penis is great! I am happy that it is as big as it is, which I think is rather large. I don't think I would change anything about it, other than the hair on the shaft.
- age 15, Pennsylvania
My lover's penis is of average length and girth, about 6 inches long when hard. His penis is circumcised, with a perfectly shaped, smooth head. I am attracted to the veins and always amazed at how red his penis can get.
- age 47, New Jersey (female)
I like my penis more since it grew quickly one summer. It became not only longer, but also harder. I think that is what I like the most about it. My penis curves slightly upwards, so when I slide my fist around it, back and forth, I can feel its shape guiding my hands. I love it! I love the feeling of its hardness in my hands. I also enjoy its natural lubrication when I'm watching something that excites me and I feel it starting to get wet. I like to play with my foreskin when that happens. I also like the way the veins make it look. I simply love everything about my penis!
- age 19, Mexico
How can I possibly answer this question in fewer than 8 sentences when there are so many qualities about my lifelong friend? I admire its reliability, its agility, its resiliency, its eagerness to please, and its commitment to my happiness. Whether it's a quickie or a two-hour session, my penis is always "up" for whatever I want to do with it. It fits beautifully in either of my chubby hands, responding positively to whatever demands I make. It is always well behaved and out of sight when external conditions require – but when I want it to come out and play, it cannot wait for me to undress. It never has a headache or wants an expensive night out before it will soothe away the cares of a hectic day. It is the last thing on my mind and in my hand at night – and again, the first thing in the morning. How many friends are as loyal as one's penis?
- age 62, Michigan
I actually think my penis is perfect in every way possible. It could use a few more inches, but I'm still growing. I see that I have a nice shape, a nice color, and being circumcised is good. But also, it's *my* penis that I grew up with. It's just what has been engraved into my mind as a good penis. Okay, I've been saying "penis" too much....
- age 13, Virginia
I like my husband's penis because it fits me! It is not too small and not too large, but just right. It's as if it were made for me. What more could a woman want?
- age 37, Minnesota (female)
I am actually happiest with the pubic hair at the base of my penis. The hair on my head is dark red. I was pleased to find last year that my pubic hair started to grow with exactly the same color (my friend had me convinced that it would be a lot lighter in color). Initially, my hairs were very fine and completely straight; but in the last few months, some of them have become thicker and very curly, like my father's pubic hair. I am so proud of this growth that I have been taking digital pictures of my genitals each month so I look back on my sexual development when I am older.
- age 14, Ireland
I'm sure I'm not the first to say I love my penis. I wasn't too happy with it before I got circumcised. The foreskin was a constant nuisance. But now I love how it's dry and the glans has grown since the foreskin no longer constricts it. Now I think it's safe to say that it's my favorite part of my body!
- age 20, Ontario, Canada
I love the fact that my boyfriend's penis is so tiny! His penis is about 4 inches long when it's erect, and when I give him oral sex it is the funniest feeling. The head is large for the length, though – it is about 2 inches wide and feels terrific in me. Would not want it any other way!
- age 16, New Jersey (female)
I've always liked the contrasting personality of my penis. In its flaccid state it can be held tightly in place with little discomfort and is so handy for urination. As it becomes erect it seems to silently scream for attention by pushing at its surroundings. Once released, its hardness begs to be held and rubbed and always gives me such pleasure in return for my attention to its needs. Although I don't have a foreskin to play with, I can still enjoy moving the skin over the inner hardness and enjoy how it bunches up under the head and then becomes smooth and shiny as I pull it back tightly and increase its sensitivity to touch. It's the most practical and pleasurable body part I have.
- age 57, Ohio
I've not really liked my penis for a long time. It's always been too short, too hairy, and too thin. But lately, I've begun to lose weight, and my penis appears to have gotten longer. Other than that bit of good news, the thing I really love about my penis is that it secretes a *ton* of "pre-cum". I almost never have to use lube because, after a few minutes of dry stroking, I have more than enough natural lube flowing to get me through a satisfying session. It's very convenient. It kind of turns me on, too, to know that I can produce so much fluid.
- age 17, Tennessee
Overall, I'm quite happy with my penis. I'd like it to be a little longer, of course (actually, just when it's flaccid – it's quite long enough when it's erect). What I like most is the fact that it is pretty straight and looks good. I've seen guys with penises that are different colors, bent, or twisted. Mine is nice and straight, and points just as I think it should. Vanity, I guess.
- age 28, Oregon
I love my boyfriend's penis. It's just the right size – not too small for sex and not too big for oral sex. It's got a great upward curve – for those "hard-to-reach places" (wink) – and a nicely shaped head for extra stimulation. It seems to like me, too; it always perks up when I'm around!
- age 21, Tennessee (female)
Honestly, I wish my penis were bigger. I'm about 5 1/2 inches erect. I know that's in the normal range, but I'd like to have more. What I do like about my penis, though, are the orgasms it gives me. I get really strong orgasms all the time, a lot of semen, and I ejaculate really far. I've masturbated with friends who all have penises bigger than mine, but I can ejaculate farther. And I think I enjoy my orgasms more. Size or pleasure – if I had to choose, I guess I have it the way I'd want it.
- age 15, California
I've never had any reason to complain about my penis, which is about 6 1/2 inches when fully erect. It's been a reliable source of masturbating pleasure for a long time. It gets as hard as ever and feels as good in my hand as when I was a teenager. I think that unless there's a real physical problem, guys should just relax, keep stroking, and not get hung up over penis size or comparing their penises with others.
- age 50, Canada
My boyfriend's penis is wonderful. The quality that makes me happiest is that a penis is just so different from anything female – the look, taste, touch, the way it changes size – it almost has a life and personality of its own.
- age 18, Australia (female)
I feel great about my penis! I am almost 7 inches erect, and my testicles are the right size. I might like having a bit more hair; I am somewhat lacking in that area. The other thing I have seriously thought about is getting circumcised. I don't know if I would like it, though. I really like having my foreskin there. I wish there were a way I could "test out" a circumcision without actually having it done permanently.
- age 22, Idaho
I dislike my penis. I have a small mole on my shaft. It doesn't look too bad, but I still don't like it. Also, I have a big vein on the top middle of my penis. What's more, it's only 5 1/2 to 5 3/4 inches; but then, I'm only 14. Still, I just don't like it.
- age 14, Arizona
Probably the thing I like least about my penis is that I am circumcised. Unlike most males, I had it done when I was 11, which I remember quite clearly. I sometimes wish that I still had a foreskin because I think that since I was circumcised, it has become less sensitive. Also, I go through a lot of lube. Otherwise, I am not complaining. I don't get that kind of pleasure from anywhere else in my body.
- age 17, Australia
I felt good about my penis until I started surfing the net and checking out other guys. I've come to realize that I'm quite small and perhaps inadequate. So to compensate, I've taken some of the suggestions and have completely shaved my pubic area. This has given me a much better outlook on my little penis.
- age 44, Pennsylvania
One of the strange things about my penis is how much it varies in size. When it is not erect, it is quite small; after sports, it looks like almost nothing. But when it is erect, it is over 5 inches, which I think is quite normal. I sometimes feel a bit embarrassed being seen naked or in underwear, but I'm sort of okay with my penis as it is. I am not circumcised, which I like, and my penis works very well. The only really annoying thing is that it gets erect too easily. I have had two very embarrassing experiences – one at school, and one at the doctor's office. I wasn't thinking about sex or anything. Just the act of undressing can cause my penis to rise sometimes.
- age 14, Arkansas
Before getting married, I had flings with several men and so got to know different penis types. Yes, size matters – too big hurts. On the whole, circumcised is nicer, as it gives a more slip-slide feeling. The best thing is seeing a penis become hard and erect just from the guy looking at me. This makes me feel quite good (I must be attractive!). Lucky for me, my husband matches up to all these observations; plus, he has the brain to use what he has lovingly (the most important bit of all).
- age 39, United Kingdom (female)
I am quite comfortable with my penis and it is quite comfortable with me. I don't think that penises are particularly attractive to look at, and mine is no exception. I am only average in size – maybe even on the small side. It curves slightly to the left. I have a circumcision scar that stands out against my pale skin – and a lot of unattractive pubic hair. So visually, I have nothing much to brag about; but it is the most sensitive, private, and pleasurable part of my body, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
