The New Naked: The Ultimate Sex Education for Grown-Ups by Harry Fisch, Karen Moline

telling him how much you love his penis, just the way it is. It’s part of him and you adore every bit of him. Repeat this often enough so that he believes you, because this topic can bring out the worst of a man’s insecurities.
    You might also want to tell him that in a study done in 2005and reported in the Journal of Urology , ninety-two men who’d come to a hospital clinic convinced that they had a “small-sized penis” were evaluated by researchers. Not one of them was actually “small.” They were all perfectly average and perfectly normal. The men just thought they were small, and once they were told by researchers to stop worrying, they did!
Does Body Type Have Anything to Do with Penis Size?
    Are larger or taller guys naturally more well-endowed? That’s another question that I frequently hear. My answer is always the same: A man shouldn’t worry about his height correlating to his penis size because that’s a myth. All of the scientific studies about penis size I’ve ever read (and that’s been a lot of reading over the years!) found no correlation between a guy’s height or build and the size of his penis.
    In Masters and Johnson’s classic studies, the largest penis of the 312 men was about five and a half inches long when flaccid and it was hung on a guy who was 5'7" and weighed 152 pounds. The smallest penis, measuring just two and a half inches when flaccid, was on a guy who was 5'11" and weighed 178 pounds. You’d have thought those statistics would have been reversed!
    Dear Dr. Fisch: My Husband Is Still Too Small for Me
    Dear Dr. Fisch,
    I’ve been married to my husband, Tony, for two years and love him very much. But his penis is only about threeinches long, even when it’s erect. This is really a problem for me because I don’t enjoy our lovemaking. And I’m also trying to get pregnant, and this isn’t helping. What can we do to make sex better?
    Signed, Need a Magnifying Glass
    Dear Need a Magnifying Glass,
    I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you. Your husband is on the lower side of normal but still considered medically normal. So I suggest you stop thinking about the size of his penis, or lack thereof, and work on having orgasms through other means, since most women do not achieve an orgasm through penile penetration alone.
    I’m not saying size doesn’t matter, but that there’s no reason your husband can’t give you plenty of pleasure. You both just need to experiment with different ways to approach foreplay and lovemaking.
    Before you get to that point, however, you need to both talk openly about this issue. Yes, it may be embarrassing at first, but, believe me, that’s the only way you’ll make progress. Having that tough conversation with your husband could be the only way you’re going to be able to save your marriage. Like I always say: the answer to any emotional problem is communication, communication, and more communication!
Debunking Bogus Claims (No, He Can’t Make His Penis Longer…But He Can Make It Firmer)
    I’ve often seen ads in men’s magazines, usually with a handsome, smiling man and lots of exclamation marks, telling men that yes, they can increase their penis size. Sometimes, patients even bring in these ads and look at me hopefully. I hate to tell them the truth. In fact, I can’t tell you how many men have fallen for this age-old scam, and it’s time we set the record straight. Sadly, no, you can’t make your penis longer than what your genes and Mother Nature have endowed you with.
    Various vacuum devices can produce an artificial erection, but they can’t make the penis “bigger.” However, they can make a man suffer tremendously because excessive use can leave blood trapped in the penis, leading to gangrene and even death…and that is not the way any man wants to go.
    There is also a surgical procedure that can increase the apparent length of the penis by snipping the suspending ligaments. This lets a flaccid penis hang
