In this episode, Dr. Brandon and Dr. Morgentaler talk about how men perceive their penis size, why most overestimate it, and how social pressure, body fat, and even evolutionary psychology influence confidence and self-image — while reminding listeners that satisfaction in the bedroom is more about vibe and connection than size. 01:02 Understanding Penis Size and Measurement – Dr. Brandon and Dr. Morgentaler talk about how penis size is measured, what affects it, and why losing weight can make it appear longer. 08:04 Psychological and Social Aspects of Penis Size – They also discuss how men often overestimate their size and how shame, humor, and cultural pressure shape male self-perception. 13:52 Evolutionary Theory and Male Hierarchies – They talk about how men's concern about size may stem from deep evolutionary instincts tied to hierarchy and competition. 15:02 The Psychological Impact of Penis Size – They also discuss how men's confidence, relationships, and self-worth can be influenced more by perception than reality. 19:05 Reassurance and Modern Comparisons – Finally, they discuss how doctors can help men feel reassured about their normal size and compare this to how women often feel about their weight.
