Guys' Bedroom Fear: He's Not Big Enough
The fact that a lot of guys look at porn every once in a while is hardly a secret, but all that browsing can lead to a bruised ego. "Porn stars are often well-endowed, and it's only natural to compare your goods with the ones you see on-screen," says Lyle, 33. "Most guys can't help but feel they are on the smaller side and not big enough when in bed with a girl."

You're not the only one concerned about bulges and soft spots. Nearly all the guys we talked to admitted to having some serious body insecurities. "I don't have sculpted shoulders or a buff chest, and a lot of girls like that, so getting naked can be intimidating," says Dan, 27.

Uh, no, not that way. "Some guys sweat more than others, and I do so excessively," says Ben, 31. "I always worry that will turn her off."

You've heard the stories of "jack rabbits"' and "mop kissers," and so have men. "You wonder if someone is saying you're great but telling her friends something else," says Gus, 30. "Every guy likes to think about himself as a great lover, but you never really know."
