Q: Do I belong here?

A: Yes! This subreddit is for anyone interested in discussing penises and male sexuality in general. All penis sizes are welcome, and in fact women or others without penises are also highly encouraged to participate. If you have a question or a problem, or want to share an insight, thought, or opinion about penises or male sexuality, all are welcome. The "average" in averagedickproblems is not about size, it's about average "dickproblems" we all face.

Please note, while this community strives for open and free sharing of opinions, it is also meant to be a place for constructive discussion and support. Things like penis size and other body shaming (overt, covert, internalized), misogyny/misandry/bigotry, overtly disrespectful behavior, personal attacks, and other rules violations will be removed at the moderation team's discretion.

Q: Can I ask non-size related questions here?

A: Yes, and it is highly encouraged to do so! There's so much more to a penis than just its size, and it would be a lot healthier for people to explore these other aspects of penises and male sexuality without such singular focus on size.

Q: OK, but society is still kinda hung up on size currently. So what is the average penis size?

A: Yes, it's true many people are focused on size and mainstream perceptions are also often inaccurate. Please see this chart for statistics based on scientific studies with sound methodology.

Q: How do I measure my penis size properly?

A: Please see this wiki entry on measuring. Also, for more details on the differences between non-bone-pressed (NBP) and bone-pressed (BP) measurements, please consult this post describing the uses for both.

Q: Why am I so insecure about my penis size?

A: General public perceptions of penis sizes these days are often skewed, and this coupled with the strong social stigma surrounding penis size causes many men to have size insecurities and size dysmorphia. For some additional perspective on this, please check out this post: On penis size dysmorphia - The NBA Analogy

Q: How can I deal with my insecurities?

A: This section is under continued development, as it is a vast topic with many points to consider and resources to assemble. For now, please refer to the wiki section that has some resources that can help with this.

Q: I have more questions! Where can I find answers and discussion?

A: You can feel free to make a post to this subreddit and ask the community. There is also a more in-depth list of frequently asked questions in the averagedickproblems wiki. This covers some basics on other frequent question topics like:

• Has my penis finished growing yet and how big will it be when it finishes growing?

• What condom size should I wear?

• Is there a way to enlarge my penis that's safe and effective?
