Hybrid Bicycle Frame Sizing

I just bought my new 2011 Sirrus Sport, as previously stated in other threads. Although I loved the ride, I'm freaking out about the size..I'm 6'0 maaaybe 6'1 & 220lbs.

The first LBS I went to in my quest for a new hobby told me that I would need a large frame (which was basically my first question in regards to purchasing my first bike). So this whole time I've been visiting various LBSs, I've been looking for Large framed bikes. Every bike I test rode was a Large. And every LBS seemed to agree I was a large. So obviously I bought a LARGE Sirrus Sport.

I was reading the manual after I purchased my bike and it said that I should be able to stand over the top tube of my bike, on flat feet and have 2 inches between the bar and my crotch. I did this test but I def don't think there is 2 inches clearance. My "junk" (sorry ladies) actually rests on the tube. It's not like my actual crotch is pressed up against it but let's just say my "stuff" is def resting (not just barely touching) on the tube.

So the question is? Should I have gotten the medium? I'm tripping out now that I finally made my decision that I got the wrong size. Now that it's in my head, I keep looking at my bike in the corner of my room thinking "it does look really large". Could they of just put the wrong sticker on and thought it was a large but it's really an XL.....IDK guys. I'm just freaking out a little here...

Please Help!!!! (again)
