A micropenis does not necessarily mean ineffectiveness, lack of sensation and impotence, contrary to some popular belief. On Europe 1 we deconstruct this cliché by telling you about this phenomenon which affects at least 1% of men in France. Sizes, misconceptions and remedies, we reveal three things that you may not know about micropenis.
How big is a micropenis?
The micropenis fascinates. Small in size compared to the average, it may surprise more than one. But from what size can we speak of micropenis? A penis of less than seven centimeters when it is erect is considered by urologists as a micropenis compared to the average which is 13.22 centimeters and 11 centimeters in circumference for an erect penis.
Can we provide pleasure with a micropenis?
Still, a small penis doesn't necessarily mean a poor or even nonexistent sex life. For, first of all, the penis may be small in length, but that does not imply that its circumference is not substantial. On the other hand, coitus does not only suggest penetration because many other techniques exist. This is at least the opinion of Marc Galiano, urologist and andrologist at the microphone of Europe 1: "We must really take into account the patients because we can have a small penis but we can also be very fulfilled sexually. not always a handicap because sexuality should not be confined to penetration. For example, one can have sexuality through caresses. Finally, it is not the length that counts when we talk about vaginal penetration but it is the diameter " .
Lengthening sex, is that a solution?
If the micropenis becomes a handicap, more or less effective remedies are always possible. The results are not always there and the risks are substantial. "It is possible to stretch the penis using penis extensions which are well adapted but beware of the risk of neuropathy (medical problem related to the nerve). Operations are also possible. It consists of making micro-incisions using heterografts. These are complex operations and the results are not very good, "concludes Marc Galiano.
A less radical solution is a little more accessible to all: the application of a heating cream on the penis, very often used by porn stars. It will allow you, according to urologist Marc Galiano, "to dilate the penis which will be a little longer. It will be in tumescence as after sexual intercourse".
