To women: Does penis size matter? And, is there a size too small?

Honey, size matters! Not so much the length, but the width. A long penis looks beautiful and when giving oral pleasure is very nice, however, if the width of a penis is small, it does not hit the correct spots required for pleasure. Sorry, a small (in length and width) penis gives no pleasure. If you have a good, strong, loving relationship, you should be able to pleasure your partner in different ways – just not intercourse.

I have news for all you men out there. The research indicates that size matters, but not in the way you think. Large, long, wide penises give pain, not pleasure. Women may even shy away from sex with men whose penises are too large. I have been with a number of men and found that the perfect size is the average size. Big enough to hit all the right spots and small enough not to stretch and tear everything up.

Men: How many times are you going to ask this question? And how much difference are the answers going to make? Either you’re small, medium, long, large, thick, thin, etc. Your anatomy isn’t going to change unless you try some radical medical procedure. Your best bet is to stop obsessing about your penis size and focus on your other assets. Where did you get this notion that penis size will make or destroy a woman’s interest in you? Granted, we all have preferences, but a single factor like size is not going to turn me off to someone I’m genuinely interested in (if penis size alone turns a woman away from you, you’re better off without her.)

I have been with men of various sizes. Admittedly, there were times when, with those who were particularily small, I was initially disappointed because I do enjoy that “full” feeling. However, if my lover was competent in other ways to pleasure me sexually, his penis size became a non-issue. If, however, he was so self-conscious about his size that it affected his confidence in his lovemaking otherwise, then it became an issue. I think the maturity of the couple involved matters, too. When I was younger, I assumed only an average or larger penis would physically be satisfying. As I got older, I became more sexually aware and experienced. Consequently, the focus of intercourse was not as focused on simple penetration, as was the case when I was in my late teens/early 20s. When having intercourse involves more than penetration and physical release, penis size is not as important (I won’t say it’s not desirable, just possibly less important than many men believe). Lastly, I had one lover who was particularily tall but had less than an average-size penis (so much for stereotypes about tall men with big feet; dated a few) of six inches. It didn’t matter as far as I was concerned. Certain positions work better when making love with a man who’s not large. My partner was also good with his hands and tongue, and he was quite creative and energetic. I very much enjoy sex, and that gentleman made me quite happy.

Yeah, it matters. But the point is that it’s going to matter differently for every woman. Women come in different sizes, too, and they are going to find their ideally sized partners anywhere on the continuum. I’m small inside, so although a large penis might be a wonder to look at, I don’t consider it a desirable feature in a potential lover. After years of experience, I know that a medium to small girth/medium length penis is going to give me the maximum pleasure – all other things (skill, sensitivity, kindness, generosity of spirit, etc.) being equal. Of course, all those other things never are equal, which is one of many reasons many women (probably most) just don’t bother making comparisons. Most of us look at you guys as unique individuals with your own special combinations of virtues. You should perhaps consider giving yourselves the same break.

The ladies’ responses make sense, but men’s experiences don’t rhyme. I’m 26, and so is the original poster. Perhaps to a mature, sexually-aware woman, size is a matter of individuality. At my age, and for most younger men trying to date women of their age, size is all important. Young women talk about size, compare it, and date men based on rumors of each man’s size. That’s the truth.
