All of this is assuming the OP wasn’t posted by a bridge-dweller. I sense the possibility.
You are not below average. Even if you were, it REALLY DOESN’T MATTER. I don’t have the book for a cite (it’s in storage) but in a sexuality class I took we were told average was anything from about four to six inches, and that’s erect. Flaccid there’s even more variation.
If you and your girlfriend are happy, don’t worry. And don’t get your anatomical information from a condom site.
I was not talking about other aspects of my life, because these are irrelevan here.
Thanks for making me feel a whole lot worse. If it wasn’t for my child and girlfriend I’d jump out of the window. Guess I’ll settle for drinking then.
If you want a bigger dick all you have to do is use it more. I don’t mean maturbation either. If that worked we’d all be nothing but a bunch of huge pricks. :rolleyes:
Have sex often (at least everyday and for long durations) Stay inside that pussy as much and as long as possible. It’ll get bigger in time. When I first noticed this I was in my late teens and was about your size. Now many years later and lots and lots of sex, esp in the last ten years or so. Size is not a factor anymore. If you don’t use it…you lose.
Either way, I assure you there are lots of guys here that’d trade places with you. Any sex for some of these guys is worth giving up an inch of skin. Practice, technique, passion, and generosity…that’s the ticket. Always make sure she gets hers first and often. Then rest assured, size won’t matter to either of you.
Okay, Timestamp, I think you just crossed over from a little too worried to nutjob.
Right, and my opinion is that it’s too small.
I don’t know, by putting it in perspective. I’m in a crisis, and tought I’d post it. Talking about stuff generally doesn’t do harm.
One more thing, then I gotta bolt. If you should decide to take matters into your own hands {now now…that’s enough snickering from the peanut gallery}, do not – I repeat – DO NOT inject it with an unknown substance.
Or drunk.
Half of the men in the world, approximately, are below average in length.
Chill.
I’ll give you a serious answer. Accept it. First off, you can’t change it. Second off, I don’t think 5.5" is anything to sneeze at, not that I’m the resident penis expert. I’ve had SOME cough experience in these matters, and that’s a perfectly fine size to work with and be happy with. Honest. I’m not your girlfriend, so I have no motivation to lie.
Life isn’t a porno, and the vast majority of women don’t have the urge to be penetrated for hours by some huge dicked man. It’s just not a fact, no matter what you’ve heard. Most women want a lover who pays attention to them, is eager to please, and has self confidence. You can have a 12" penis and never have a satisfied woman, and that’s a fact.
So don’t sweat it, and try not to let it shake your confidence. Focus on making both of you happy in bed and realize that not every woman is turned off by particular penis sizes, lack of hair, or anything else advertisers try to tell you is wrong. Just be you.
OK, one more, then I really gotta go.
Perspective:
Your referenced website (which by the way, isn’t yours, is it?) says in its irrefutable opinion that average is 5.877 inches. You say you are 5.5 inches. So you are threatening to jump out the window over 0.377 inches.
From ten feet away, I’ll bet nobody can tell the difference.
Here’s my serious answer.
If a five and one half inch penis is causing you such distraction in your life, then I ask you seek mental health advice.
If not, then learn to please your girlfriend without using it. Make it a non issue.
no it’s not my website (it might be a clever scheme though)… and the jumping-out-of-the-window-part was overreacted to make you feel bad (because you were trying to make me feel bad in the first place)… but that’s only because I had quite a few drinks since the op.
Too small for what, exactly? Mainly, I expect you use it in conjunction with said girlfriend. Who has already expressed her pleasure or at the very least isn’t offering up criticisms.
Anyway, I’m mostly sorry that you think that recognizing your penis size is slightly below average is a “crisis” or worth jumping out a window over. You’re young. You’re having sex. Both parties seem to be enjoying it. Accept that this makes you above the curve and call it even.
I hear a tiny violin…
No, seriously. Yer just fine brother. Penis size is probably about 5% of good sex. So concentrate on the other 95%. Spoken as another “average” guy.
Cheers,

It is really, really silly to obsess over anything over five inches. Especially if everybody seems pleased.
But if you want to look bigger, shave.
Also, if you’re significantly overweight, losing weight may grant you a bit of length.
But neither of these things is your actual problem.
ok maybe I should’ve given the whole story… I mentioned to my girlfriend a few days ago that I was insecure about my size and that I never measured it because I didn’t wanna know… she said “yeah but I’m sure you’re above avarege, you must be at least 16 cm long” which gave me confidence… then she actually challanged me to measure it… so we did… and she was wrong. and my confidence disappeared. and I wish I never listened to her.
she said for her nothing has changed, but I feel like I disappointed her, and myself. it may be hard to understand.
(sorry if my english is bad by the way, it’s not my native language)
2 cm?
I could lose 2cm and not notice!
Sounds like you have insecurity issues in more than one arena, my friend.
How many cliches do you want? It’s not the size of the ship, it’s the motion of the ocean? It’s not the size of the trumpet, but the song it plays? Get over it. As long as it stays hard long enough to please your partner, what difference does it make?
Aw, damn. 
Your penis size, at this time, at this temperature, with the level of arousal that you had, is about a third of an inch less than the average as stated by ONE SITE. This is not going to be a perfect average - wouldn’t guys insecure about their penis size be less likely to submit to measurement? Wouldn’t they be less likely to be able to get erect? Plus, do you have any idea how small a third of an inch is? Look at it, seriously.
Talk to your girlfriend about it. FIND OUT if she’s bothered by it or if, as is most likely, she DOESN’T CARE. If she does, there exist devices to add a bit of length to the penis during intercourse. Check your local internet sex toy shop.
As Zsofia said… the problem is NOT with your penis.
