What is “small penis syndrome”? In fact, there are two types of penis shortening: first, the penis is really small; second, the penis is originally normal development, but just paranoid self-perception of short. The causes of the former include congenital developmental abnormalities such as gonadotropin secretion disorder, gonadal hormone secretion disorder, primary or secondary hypogonadism, androgen insensitivity, and acquired diseases such as penile sclerosis, penile trauma, spinal cord injury and other causes of penile shortening. The latter is what we call “small penis syndrome”. Some adult men, despite having an average penis size, have chronic anxiety, low self-esteem and fear due to excessive concern about their penis size affecting their sexual satisfaction, which even leads to erectile dysfunction and significantly reduces the quality of life, and such patients can be diagnosed as “small penis syndrome”. The “small penis syndrome” is actually one of the manifestations of “ugly phobia” and should belong to the category of mental illness. Are all men who want to have a bigger penis a mental illness? Of course not. According to a 2005 University of California survey, 45% of men would like their penises to be bigger. And Utrecht University concluded through a survey that most gay men prefer a larger penis size and believe it involves self-esteem. In general, men are visually misjudging other men’s penises because they mostly observe other people’s penises from a side angle and always look at their own penises from an overhead angle, thus causing the phenomenon of object shortening on the principle of perspective. In addition, Paul Fussell in his autobiography that the penis of men who are obese or have a large belly will be partially hidden in the abdomen, and the fat accumulation at the pubic bone will make the penis look shorter. Of course, those men who are keen on pornography will inevitably be the male protagonist of the film that live shocked, in fact, most of those belong to the male of the alien, can not be used as a measure of the size of their own that live standard. They use their own baby to compare with those huge penises in porn, and then conclude: mine is much smaller than theirs. They have received countless spam emails about penis enlargement. They see ads for casual sex partners that often say “big dick”. Men believe that size is the key to pleasure and orgasm for women because a large penis fills a woman’s vagina and penetrates deeper. And, if you add up all the scientific information men have read about penis size, it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the porn they’ve seen. What the porn tells them is that hot sex all requires a huge penis. The results of the survey show that many men believe that their penises are not of average length. Sex therapists believe that most of this concern stems from subjective misconceptions. For men who mistakenly believe their penis is short due to the wrong perception, they can easily get rid of the psychological shadow after proper science education, and this group of people cannot be categorized as psychiatric patients. If, after expert counseling and education, they are still obsessed and their psycho-psychological symptoms are quite serious, then they should be referred to a psychiatric hospital. Modern men are becoming more and more sensitive to ugliness, fearing that they are ugly and that others think they are ugly. The human gaze has evolved to focus more and more on beauty and ugliness. The mirror is a product of human civilization, a window through which people observe themselves. The image of a person in a broken mirror is conceivably fragmented, incomplete or imperfect. But rational people know clearly that it is the mirror that is the problem, not our own image that is at issue. Our mind also has a mirror, and its integrity determines the integrity of our perception of our own image. When this mirror in our mind is broken, the self-image we perceive must be deficient. When we fix this broken mirror in our mind and make it a pattern of mental activity, or a habit of self-perception, then we are not far from a psychological disorder related to aesthetics of appearance and are likely to become victims of this psychological disorder. ”The psychology of excessive focus on penis size makes many men feel ashamed of not being perfect,” says sex educator Dr. Betty Dodson, “and I think men should make peace with their penises. It’s the best way to go. Enjoy what you have, and you’ll be a happier lover-even a better one.
