  • Sex therapist Emily Morse said a big penis isn't needed for great sex.
  • Since most vagina owners don't orgasm from penis-in-vagina sex, focus on other forms of pleasure.
  • Oral and hand sex can boost pleasure for both partners and don't involve the penis at all.

A large penis is not a requirement for great sex, sex therapist Emily Morse told The Daily Star.

The podcast host told the outlet that people who are anxious about penis size have misplaced concerns.

"'Am I too small? Is it weird? Is it too big? These are the questions you ask all the time. And I'll say this over and over again - no one cares about your penis more than you do," Morse told the Daily Star.

There's evidence that supports phallic anxiety. A survey from the UK's National Health Service found 45% of 50,000 men said they wished their penis was bigger.

Instead of wishing for better endowment, penis owners should focus on pleasing their partners and being "attentive to our needs," said Morse.

She recommends using your fingers, mouth, or sex toys to boost intimate time, rather than focusing on your penis.

That's because most people with vulvas and vaginas don't orgasm from penetrative sex alone and get more pleasure from vulvar stimulation, Insider previously reported.

Focus on your partner's pleasure, not your penis, for better sex

Morse wants penis owners to rethink what "good sex" means so they can feel less pressure about what their own bodies look like and keep their partners satisfied.

"I promise pleasure will come back to you, it always does. So think differently about your penis - we do," Morse told the Daily Star.

To do that, focus on pleasurable sensations in a broader sense, rather than just penis-related pleasure.

Sex therapists previously told Insider that clitoral stimulation through oral or hand sex, as well as prostate stimulation, are great ways to broaden your sexual appetite outside of penetrative sex.

Additionally, Morse previously told Insider using couples' sex toys like the Moxie from WeVibe and couples' sets from KIIROO can spice up your sex life.
