MANILA -- There are things that are more important than the size of a man's penis, a psychologist explained on Saturday.

Dr. Cherry Rañeses, a psychologist and life coach, explained in an interview on DZMM's "Teka Muna" that a man only becomes insecure about his penis when he starts comparing it to others.

"Kung meron silang point of comparison, tsaka itong mga men na to, tingnan niyo, malalaman ba nilang maliit 'yung sa kanila kung hindi sila nanonood ng porn na malalaki ang sex organ ng mga lalaki?" Rañeses said.

"Siyempre kung 'yun ang pinagbabatayan mo, wala tayong laban doon," she added.

The issue of the average size of a Filipino man's penis came up after an American website listed Filipinos as among those with the smallest penis.

Mandatory.com, which aggregated various reports on penis sizes in 80 countries worldwide, said men from Congo are the most well-hung with an average penis length of 7.1 inches.

Filipinos have an average penis length of only 4.3 inches, while North Koreans have an average size of 3.8 inches.

For Rañeses, a man's confidence is more important than the size of his penis.

"If the size of the penis affects the psyche of the men, kung ganito na nga na-brand na nga tayo sa buong mundo na ang Pilipino ay isa sa may pinakamaliit na 'paninindigan,' ano naman 'yung mukhang ihaharap natin sa mundo? Pero kung ang lalaki ay confident...it's a matter of pagdadala," she explained.

Rañeses added that men usually feel conscious about their organ when they are with women who are not their wife or partner.

"Kung itong mga lalaking ito ay hindi sa kanilang mga asawa nakikipagtalik, maco-conscious siya sa kanyang penis, sapagkat maiisip niya na huhusgahan siya ng babaeng kanyang katalik," she said.

"Subalit kung ang asawa niya na buong puso niyang minamahal, iniibig ang kanyang katalik, eh 'di meron silang deep communication," Rañeses added.

Filipino men are also known to be among the best husbands which, for Rañeses, is more important than their penis size.

"Ang Pinoy ang isa sa may pinakamaliliit na manhood, pero sasabihin naman ng mga babae sa buong mundo, ang Pinoy ang asawang pinakamasarap magmahal."

Rañeses believes that penis size matters more to those who are young and have less sexual experience, since men who have more sexual experience are usually more confident with their manhood.

To avoid the feeling of insecurity, Rañeses advised men to stop comparing themselves with other men.

"The grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence. So if you look at porn, talagang malalaki ang makikita mo. Pero bawat isang tao ay may uniqueness, at ang uniqueness mo ay hindi doon nababase, kundi dito sa puso mo," Rañeses said.
