Sorry Guys, Your Penis Is Not As Powerful As You Think
Celebrating the penis as a symbol of masculinity and virility actually hurts men, women and society, a new book says
A few years ago I dated a man who was, as they say, well endowed. This actually worked well for me, but I am not here to brag. It’s more about how his generously sized and girthed penis gave him what might be considered a superpower — what he jokingly called BDS, aka Big Dick Syndrome, which has also been called Big Dick Energy.
Joke as he may, it’s actually a real thing. No matter what others thought or said of him, his “secret” gave him a certain attitude and confidence — dare I say cockiness?
He’s not the only man who has spent time thinking about his penis, especially its size. Women aren’t nearly as concerned about size as men are, but you might not know it. Why? Because people who are possession of a penis have long dominated the research about such things and thus have driven the narrative. (In fact, most women indicate they need four things to enjoy sex and have orgasms — gender equality, partner-specific learning, commitment and “technically competent genital stimulation.” None of which have anything to do with penis size.)
