To all the men out there who are overly concerned about the fact that they don’t pack a monster inside their pants: It’s time to chill. As I discuss in an original article posted on Ezinearticles.com, despite the incredible play that penis size gets in modern culture, and despite the fact that so many guys in porn videos sport massive endowments, the fact is that penis size does not have a real correlation to sexual performance and satisfaction. Indeed, assuming he takes care of his penis health and develops appropriate skills, the man of average size can give above-average sexual satisfaction – often very high above average – to his partner(s).

Average penis size

Recent studies indicate that the average penis size is around 5.2” when erect (not the 6” which was for many years the accepted standard). Men who are much, much longer – or much., much shorter – are truly the exception. And even a man with a penis size of, say, 4” is perfectly capable of satisfying his partner.

Assuming penis health is adequate, there are other factors to for the average man to consider to achieve great sex. Some tips in this area include:

- Give foreplay its due. The simple fact is that most men tend to orgasm more quickly once intercourse has begun than do women. (There are exceptions, of course.) This is one reason why an attentive male lover will engage in a decent amount of foreplay. The more highly receptive the partner is before a man enters, the sooner she will reach orgasm. Men should be sure to approach foreplay as an important part of lovemaking – not as a duty, but as an opportunity to explore their lover’s body and to extend her pleasure. And remember – oral sex can also be part of one’s foreplay.

- Change course. Too many men think that once penetration has been achieved, there’s no changing course. In fact, if a guy can tell that he is approaching ejaculation and doesn’t want to reach that pinnacle yet, there’s no reason he can’t withdraw from his love and go back to performing oral sex or masturbating her.

- Keep going. There’s also no rule that says it’s a crime to ejaculate before one’s lover - provided that the man doesn’t consider his job over and done with. Many men remain hard enough post-ejaculation to continue intercourse. Those that do not can still please their partner with their hands and/or mouths.

- But not if she doesn’t want to. Sometimes a woman may feel like she’s being forced to orgasm, and the pressure can work against her achieving that state. If a partner indicates that she doesn’t need to be further stimulated but would instead prefer to cuddle and kiss, definitely respect those wishes.

- Be open. The physical aspect of sex is fantastic, but the emotional connection it can provide is equally important – and more so to many people. Being open and communicative about one’s feelings before, during and after sex can make the sex even better. And it also allows both partners to feel that they are allowed to communicate about their physical needs in a productive manner as well.

The average man with average penis size who wishes to be an exceptional lover also needs to attend to his own penis health regularly. One easy way is to daily apply a top drawer penis health creme (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). Take the time to look through the ingredients on possible cremes. Find one that contains both vitamin C and L-arginine. Vitamin C, famous for fighting colds, is also a key component of collagen, which gives tone and elasticity to penis skin. And L-arginine is an amino acid which is involved in producing nitric oxide; this in turn helps penis blood vessels to expand when an inrush of blood is expected.
