Micropenis : it is a term that often arouses curiosity and is accompanied by countless questions and myths. In a world where the size of the male genitals is often the talk of the pub, we would like to inform you a little more about this subject that often ends up in the taboo sphere. Because let's be honest: men with a micropenis do not always find it easy to talk about it.

What is a micropenis? We explain!

Although you hear the word micropenis more and more often among friends these days, 'micropenis' is originally a medical term used to describe a penis that is much smaller than average.

While there is no official definition of what a micropenis is, it is often used to describe a penis that is less than 3 inches long (when fully erect). This can be a huge source of insecurity for men, but it is important to remember that size isn’t everything. A great sex life is about much more than just the length of your penis.

When do you have a micropenis?

It is normal to wonder when you actually 'officially' have a micropenis. Most men have a penis that falls nicely within the average, which is between 12 and 16 centimeters (in erection). We wrote about this earlier in our blog about the average length of the male genitals.

If your penis is much smaller than this average, you could have a micropenis. But hey, even with a micropenis you can have fun adventures in bed.

Micropenis length

As we wrote earlier in this article, a penis is usually considered a micropenis when it is less than 7 centimeters long when erect. However, this only occurs in a very small number of men.

The Cause of a Micropenis

The causes of a micropenis are different, so there is not just one fixed cause. For example, a small penis can be genetic or the result of hormonal imbalances during fetal development.

In some cases, a micropenis can also be the result of a medical condition, such as Klinefelter syndrome or Prader-Willi syndrome . If you think you have a micropenis, you can see your doctor, as some causes of a micropenis are treatable.

What are the best positions for a micropenis?

Now we come to perhaps the most important question: what are the best positions for a micropenis? First of all, it is important to emphasize once again that sex is much more than penetration.

In general, doggy, missionary, woman on top, or side-by-side positions allow for deeper penetration, allowing you to make the most of every inch you have with a micropenis.

Tip: It is advisable to stimulate your partner in another way during penetration, for example with an exciting toy or your fingers.

Conclusion about having a micropenis

A micropenis may not be what we are used to seeing in the hottest porn movies. However, you should know that size is not the only factor or the most important part of a fun sex life. Sex is all about connection, intimacy and communication.

If you are really worried about your penis size after reading this article, consider talking to a doctor. There are several solutions available to help men who feel insecure about their penis size and provide guidance.

Hopefully you now know a little more about what a micropenis is and that sex isn't just about penetration.
