I can see that being a bit of an issue on nude beaches, but I hope that the straight guys in the locker rooms aren't paying much attention!
i agree we do need to relax --the truth is us guys think "well if that guy has a 11" dick and i have only a 6" dick then ...enter girls name.... is gonna like him instead of me we also think it makes u more of a man we think a bigger dick will pleasure a girl more and get her more excited honestly us guys are more into pleasing our girls during sex then pleasing them emotionally and in porn like 2 see women taking in big ones we shoudnt be obsessed -but i dont think it will ever change
Such a frustrating situation. Why do guys not care what women have to say about all this? We are capable of answering the question!
They do pay attention. Guys are naturally competitive about everything, penis size being no exception.
I once had a friend who suffered from the medical condition known as Micro Penis. This means that the size of his penis developed little, if any during puberty, so although he was fully functional, size-wise, he was like a pre-pubescent boy. Because of this limitation in size, it was impossible for him to perform anal, as the distance between the buttocks & the anus was greater than the length of his penis, although he would still enjoy receiving anal. He was also extremely adept at mutual masturbation & giving oral, and when he ejaculated the amount of ejaculate was easily twice as much as my own, with much more force behind it. There was also a very interesting documentary on Virgin 1 (I believe originally made by Channel 4 - UK) a few months ago called "Penis Envy", which covered the whole subject of how so many men tend to be preoccupied with the sizes of their penises. They also scientifically covered some of the many Penis Enlargement programmes to be found advertised all over the place, monitoring any increase in size week by week over the duration of the making of the programme - needless to say, none of which showed any substantial results - certainly none that could unquestionably be attributed to the products in question. If anyone knows of any way that they can download / stream a copy of this programme online, it's well worth watching. The programme was initially broadcast on 30h December, 2008. I still have the MPG file I recorded at the time, but low in signal quality and, typical to Virgin TV, loaded with adverts.
It's never been an issue on any nude beaches that I have been on. Pests and perverts on nudist beaches may worry about their size and think it needs to be large to be interesting to women who would prefer to be left alone, but for the man who has gone to a nudist beach to sunbathe and swim, no issue at all. Most nudists have less body issues I think than non-nudists.
OK, after two days, more than 300 people have viewed this thread, and only 3 have posted that they know about somebody having a shaft shorter than four inches. That comes out to 1%. I know this isn't a scientific poll, but still...
Ah, well, this guy I was with a week ago or so was shorter then four inches. And my ex was probably around that, I can't remember for sure, maybe a bit less?
No not at all. Well the guy I hooked up with had problems all around, but I contribute that to him not actually knowing anything about the female body even though he's been with other girls, not on his package. Me and my ex were at it a lot lol, didn't cause ANY problems for either of us, though he was self-concious about it, he really knew how to use it, and that's what counts.
I think it is important for you to say that. It is the women who need to say what is too short and what isn't, rather than have average men (5-6 inches) stressing about whether they have enough to get the job done. :willy_nilly: There is no reason to guess, when the answer is out there.
My ex and I sound like Aine and her ex. He was smaller than 4 inches and we were together for 5 years. We had no problems though, because he knew what he was doing. However.. while we were broken up for several months and I did date another guy with a larger penis (my first time with anyone else, as my ex was my first) I did enjoy this sex better. His penis was so small it kept us from different sex positions and I never really liked that because I like to change things up a lot.
I consider myself to be rather well endowed with 6½" in length (not much more than average), and a 7½" girth (which, I think, is probably a little more than average, compared to other men I've been with). Note that I'm not claiming to be anywhere near any of these that claim to be a supposedly typical 8". Even so, I have still found that my size has been difficult for some partners to manage, and extremely painful for one of them without masses of lubrication. Then there is the practice of Anal sex, where penetration is a major problem, not only with the physical restrictions, but the additional pain it can cause the recipient. I don't know why so many men claim to have penis sizes of 8" or more. You see it so often that you could be forgiven for thinking that must be what the average must be, but in reality I think the biggest I've ever encountered was maybe a 7" one. The ACTUAL average is generally between 5" - 6", so it certainly seems strange that so many men have trouble accepting that fact. Furthmore, as with all animals, we have evolved for the male & female to be reasonably compatible in size for purposes of procreation - anything above or below that size range is more likely to have problems in mating & is less likely to pass the genes on to the next generation. There is a natural REASON for an average penis size of 5" - 6". This is the size that is most ideally suited for procreation. Therefore, rather than being classed as 'less' of a man for falling within that range, if anything it should class you as 'more' of a man, with the larger penises being the lesser ones.
I don't think it has anything to do with women being able to answer the question, IMHO I think it has more to do with women giving different answers. I have heard "bigger is better" from some women and "It's the motion in the ocean" from others. Men just want to protray an idea of a "safety net" so to speak, it's better being a few inches over average than a few inches under. Hope that made sense.
It does make sense, but I think men are missing the point. Bigger is not always better. Bigger in relation to smaller can be better. Being thicker is better then being longer. Being longer you can go deeper. It's not how it looks, but how you use it. These are probably most if not all the main answers given. It all depends on what the girl herself likes. There really isn't a wrong or right answer unless the guy doesn't know how to pleasure PERIOD. But other then that, just pay attention to the girl you're with.
