These societal expectations often create performance anxiety, as many feel the need to live up to this ideal,\u201d says DeSeta. \u201cThese expectations can increase their risk of sexual dysfunctions like erectile dysfunction or even lead them to avoid sex altogether.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to DeSeta, people with bigger penises often experience a mix of emotions about their anatomy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn one hand, they feel pressure to live up to the societal expectations of impressive sexual performances, and on the other, they are worried about hurting their partner,\u201d she explained. \u201cThis combination oftentimes leads to feelings of shame or being misunderstood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.emotionstherapycalgary.ca\/psychologists-therapists\" target=\"_blank\" data-skimlinks-tracking=\"8010959\" data-affiliate=\"true\" rel=\"noopener\">Rod Mitchell<\/a>, a registered psychologist specializing in sex therapy and trauma recovery, says one of the more heartbreaking patterns he\u2019s witnessed in therapy is how those with larger penis sizes have genuinely developed trauma from repeatedly causing their partners pain during sex.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI call it an empathic injury,\u201d Mitchell said. \u201cEvery time your partner winces or says \u2018wait, that hurts,\u2019 you\u2019re absorbing a micro-trauma. These men carry around the weight of having hurt someone they love, over and over, with their own body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mitchell explained that what might look like performance anxiety is actually a trauma response \u2014 their nervous system trying to prevent harm. \u201cYour body treats repeated sexual discomfort or pain as a threat,\u201d he said. \u201cGuilt rewires your brain to see intimacy as dangerous, then anxiety kicks in before sex even starts, triggering a stress response that redirects blood away from your genitals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others might finish in seconds because their bodies are trying to escape the threat. Either way, says Mitchell, the \u201cfailure\u201d deepens the shame, and the cycle continues.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Shame Of Having A Big Penis (No, Really)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The common societal stigma that having a \u201cbig penis\u201d automatically means amazing sex, \u201cputs a lot of pressure&#8230;to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":521850,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[2095,210,517,45533,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-521849","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-health","8":"tag-evergreen","9":"tag-health","10":"tag-mental-health","11":"tag-syndicated-huffpost","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115908339712378932","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=521849"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/521849\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/521850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=521849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=521849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=521849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
