Like someone buying expensive cars to compensate for their smaller dick.

Just so you know, there's some evidence this isn't actually a thing and that the people who do that kind of thing are actually very self-assured in their penis size. Now, that doesn't mean they have a large penis, it just means they are happy with it and unconcerned with how others feel about it. Which, if you think about it, tracks. Because the guys who drive wanker sports cars or giant fucking trucks usually don't give a shit if their partner feels good, only if they do. So the size of their dick is kind of irrelevant to the whole equation. They could have a tiny dick, they could have a giant dick, either way, they're perfectly fine with it because it's not about how anyone else feels, it's about them getting off and being in control.

Might take me a while but I'll try to dig up the old /r/science reddit thread about it.

The weird thing about this comment is that it equates dick size with partner's pleasure. I can't speak for everyone, but I feel like that's only true for people who fetishize size and I only personally know like two people who actually do lol

Actually it doesn't. The point is that their partners pleasure is irrelevant to them. The comment literally says nothing about whether their partner enjoys a big or a small dick, rather that the men's dick size has nothing to do with how the men feel about themsleves and their penis size, because they are self-assured either way.

To my knowledge, most women don't actually love large dicks at all because they hurt.

Why would the fact that their partner's pleasure is irrelevant to them be relevant in this circumstance, unless it was related to the whole 'compensation' thing? I guess I'm missing something here, that seemed like the clear implication to me.

Maybe I shouldn't hear what you didn't say though, sorry if I overstepped.

But yes, the latter thing is often true. Though I'm fairly sure it's a little more popular with AMAB people cuz of how the prostate works

Re-reading my original comment, I can see how you got that implication. I guess the point is that these men aren't actually compensating for anything, that's potentially a misreading of why they do what they do. Also only men seem to be concerned with the size of their member, in relation to equating it to partners pleasure. It also seems to be mostly other men who want to ascribe the idea that these men are compensating for something, which returns to the idea that mostly only men seem concerned with this issue because men equate "bigger dick" to "women like this." There's a lot of assumptions being played around among the varied groups of men that are all tied to this perception of the size of their penis impacting the pleasure of their lover, and it basically has fuck-all to do with women's opinions on the matter. The men who are seen as "compensating for something" may actually be the men least impacted by these perceptions, ironically enough, because they simply don't care.

Ah, I getcha now! Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for having the patience to explain! I love when something like this doesn't devolve into argumentation ☺️

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Because the guys who drive wanker sports cars or giant fucking trucks usually don’t give a shit if their partner feels good

I bet you just made that up.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would love to hear it.

Any recommendations on what new snarky comment to make when I see the aforementioned type of vehicle next time though? :/

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Have you tried not projecting, creating an invisible enemy to hate, and just minding your own business?

It's life changing. Just let that hate and anger go.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe i should start appending /s on lemmy as well

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

No, I understand. I think it's you who missed the backhand of that.
