There's no such thing as a 'normal' penis.
When you think about your penis, lots of things might come to mind: "Do I have a normal penis?" We've all heard the jokes, the blatant references in our favorite movies, and seen the phallic imagery peppered into pop culture in general.
In our society, penises are basically everywhere in a way that vulvas and vaginas just aren't . While penises may be more openly talked about in our society than, they're often talked about in ways that are harmful and downright inaccurate. There are tons of societal pressures that say penises should look and behave a certain way, and that can lead to insecurities. In other words, we have this idea of a "normal" penis.

There are men without penises, and there are people with penises who don’t identify as men. “Being a man has less to do what’s on the outside and everything to do with how we feel on the inside,” says Hodder-Shipp. “Having a penis means you have a penis, something you pee out of and probably gets erect and also probably feels good when you touch it. That is what it means to have a penis. What it means to be a man is way more layered than that.”You often hear that penises are simpler than vulvas, but there’s a lot more to penises than pop culture might have you believe.
