With men it may be hidden, but it affects "measuring up" as you say in exactly the way that matters to most straight men: having more (or even any!) sexual part

  I don't think it really impacts how many sexual partners you will have. Maybe repeats? But even then, doubt it. Preferences are disparate.

    Like mumblemumble said - it's not about the reality. It's the assumption of "I'll be enough when X". "Repeats" are more likely an outcome of overall performance beyond size (though depending on the partner's preference, it will assist).

    Maybe, but probably not the way it works out in the stories we tell ourselves. I vaguely remember a study making the rounds in the news a while back that found that, while women certainly do sometimes dump men or refuse to have sex with them over penis size, it's almost never because they think it's too small. I've certainly had to course correct over that sort of thing before. Fortunately good sex can be had without penetration. Though I appreciate that it could be socially costly for a straight man to suggest such a thing in public. But it might be good if it happens more often? The number of times that article mentioned suicide is deeply disheartening.
