Hi there - first post...thanks for having me.
I've been struggling with a pressing problem since my adolescence that has created a massive social problem for me through my later teen years and all through my 20's. At present I've had sex with only one woman despite my age and as such lack much of the experience a person of my age ought to have in this field. I made up ground quickly when I was seeing this person, but we are no longer together and as such my sex life has been at a total standstill for the last 3 years. I have a very pressing complex here that I can't seem to overcome - though it's nothing i can really help. The fact is that I have less than spectacularly large equipment for the job. In fact I make up the apex of the bell curve - as average as humanly possible. Meanwhile, it seems that the average is way the hell off since it would seem everybody and their brother is walking around with 3rd legs these days - so much so that I feel I really can't compete despite the fact I'm very talented at "other" things since it seems size is ALL that matters these days. Going off this premise that the averages are wrong, I'm abnormally small, and most other men are at least moderately well equipped leads me to believe the only way I'll ever be able to secure the companionship of a partner in my life is to somehow eliminate the physical element to avoid ever having to deal with the size issue. I can survive just fine without physical intimacy - been doing it most of my life. I can't expect a partner to, however. It's a shame really to think I have to give up the chance at having someone in my life due to an unfortunately set of genetic circumstances - this would seem to be some sort of Darwinian proxy to keep me from reproducing my defective genes, and it's working VERY well.
My theory here is to try to pursue a one-sided open relationship where I would remain celibate and monogamous and she can pursue sexual fulfillment from another man that could satisfy her needs. I can see the problem here in this theory in the risk of having my partner leave me for the other man, but I'm willing to put in whatever it takes in the other areas of a relationship to mitigate that chance if at all possible. I know this sounds impossible, and it probably is, but is there any hope out there for something like this? I'm tired of being alone and horrified of rejection over this one issue. It's hard enough to even strike up a conversation with a woman these days with this lingering over my head which was already pretty difficult to begin with considering I'm not the most handsome or muscular guy in the world.
What's a guy to do here? I can't make up for this issue using foreplay and other alternative methods every time - eventually she will grow tired of this and move on, I'm sure. I'm thinking it might be better to just get this established from the get go to avoid disappointment down the road.
Thoughts?
