    in my experience width is as effective as length, so if your a wideboy great. 6.5 inches length is enought to hurt im told so.......??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,012 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    depends on the woman..diferent women have different ways of getting satisfaction from sex, (im presuming your into women) not all orgasms come from penetrative sex, actually most dont! there are a ton of other ways to get here there, so tbh hun, i wouldnt worry about it too much, if you feel you lack a bit in size then make up for it with technique!! simple.

    a lipstick would be small

    5 - 6" is the average size. Personally, I find anything over about 7" uncomfortable... but I've never been with a guy who was 'too small'. Guys I've been with who were smaller (relative to other men that I've slept with) knew how to make up for it in other ways by being focused on female pleasure and just generally being good in bed. That's just my experience.

    If you look at it logically, however, men have very little to worry about in all reality.

    Firstly, the vagina is only about 3 - 4 inches in length anyway, and while it's elastic, it most certainly does not require an 10" monster dong to be satisfied.

    Secondly, while biguns are nice, having a huge penis is no guarantee of being able to satisfy a woman sexually. A large proportion - some say the majority - of women have trouble orgasming from penetration alone. Most women find it easiest to come from clitoral stimualtion, or a combination of both. Those who can do it through the stimulation of the G-spot, which is situated about 2 inches inside the vagina on the front wall... so as long as you've got over 2 inches to play with (pun very much intended), there's no need to worry about ability to satisfy.

    Thirdly, men who think sex is all about penetration (and ergo their penis) are invariably really shiit in bed. It's not the be all and end all, there are loads of other fun, diverting and stimulating things to get up to that women sometimes even prefer to good old fashioned rutting.

    In conclusion, stop worrying about the size of your penis - as long as you have a set of fully operational fingers and a willing tongue, you're good to go.

    EDIT: LINKS NSFW!! They're just wikipedia, but there are pictures of lady parts.

    I think width is as if not more important than length. being 8 or 9 inches long or longer is not much good if you are pencil thin.

    To be honest, I cant speak for a every woman out there but I imagine the old cliché of its not how big it is, but how you use it thats important.

    The best advice I can give you is just don't worry about it. You don't have the biggest one in the world and I can tell you you don't have the smallest one. when having intercourse with an individual, communicate to find the best technique for both of you. Once you do that, size is not important.

    Boobies or willies?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 273 ✭✭jessbeth


    It's only the first 2 inches of the vagina that are sensitive anyway. The vagina is about 5 inches long. I wouldn't worry about it, if a girl genuinely likes you she won't be bothered about what length it is.

    Plus most girls would rather be tickled then stabbed to death anyday

    :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 397 ✭✭galwayguy22


    I've a big willy, or so the one girl I've ever slept with says. I've had sex a total of 4 times in my whole life.

    I'd surrender my apparently big willy for the ability to be able to talk to females I'm attracted to, rather than become a bumbling fool with nothing to say.

    So in conclusion, if you have a small one, who cares as long as you getting some.

    Anyway, you could be talking about boobs, your penis, your boyfriends penis, your wage....

    A little more info would be useful.

    So very very true...

    And Shellyboo's advice is so accurate. Don't worry too much OP. Just enjoy it. Go with it and just concentrate on the moment - Put worries of "am I big enough" out of your head. The penetration part of it, while good is not the be all and end all. Some guys rush the foreplay thinking getting 'in there' is the whole point. Remember when you younger - before sex - and spending hours and hours just kissing and touching.. that's the best part.. the stick it in and wiggle it merchants are completely missing the point *pun intended*

    Agreed.
    The G-Spot is approx 2" inside the vagina, so, if you have 2" you have enough. So long as you use it correctly. Oh, and as pointed out, it's not all about penetration. In fact for some it's not at all about penetration.

    On a side note, doesn't "penetration" seem a very aggressive term for what should be an act of loving?

    Lots of people will be nice and say nice things to you here, but the reality is if you were about to have sex with the average girl, and you have a small penis, she will be disappointed.

    It may feel roughly the same inside her, but she'll still be aware you have a small penis.

    I have no idea what counts as small, but I would imagine it is something along the lines of 4 inches/or a skinny little thing.

    Read another post on boards saying the smallest recorded erection was 1cm. Now that is tiny:eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 649 ✭✭✭Peewee_lane


    My ex was a little bigger than average and he thought he was a porn star whipping this huge thing out, and I thought I was a lucky girl.

    My current boyf shocked me with the size of his when we first went out, it was alot smaller than my ex's but I couldnt believe it, hes an absolute legend of a love maker, so size doesnt matter. As long as you make love to the woman like she's never had it before.

    I disagree with this, most girls don't care about the size of your penis....its more of a male ego problem then anything else. If a guy thinks he has a small penis he thinks that he can't satisfy a women which is completely untrue.

    1 in 10 girls care about the size of a lads penis but in my opinion these are girls that follow what people say more then have good experience with sex.

    Learn about sex properly, and learn how too give real pleasure and you'll be fine...don't base it on a silly myth

    It boils down to this, unless you're tiny(under 3 inches) a woman won't leave you because you've a small one, or an average one and she sure won't stay with you because you've a big one.

    Plus chances are very high that you won't be as good at giving a woman an orgasm as a lesbian would be. They have no willys.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Just an unfair advantage;)

    OP, I wouldn't worry dude, I'm going to assume you're young, this stuff won't really matter to you in a few years.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 137 ✭✭Annie Bananie


    I'm a girl and I firmly believe it's not the size but how you wiggle it ;)
    I had small ones that felt great and big ones the didn't and the opposite.
    If you are in love, it does not matter much, you will love being close to the one you love :)
    At least that is my expereince :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,917 ✭✭✭towel401


    anything less than 5 is small

    In your opinion.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 515 ✭✭✭A_SN


    I'm not trying to come off as a perv or anything, but just take a look at some Japanese porn, and you'll see the size doesn't matter that much. I mean, sure, there's the psychological aspect of it, some women care about it being big just for the sake of being big, go figure (I know a group of girls who say they avoid doing it with anyone smaller than 8"... I know, WTF?? They're under the delusion that it's the average length..), but besides that, you'll see in Japanese porn very short men making women scream at the top of their lungs.

    So technically it doesn't matter that much, it's more a matter of what you do. That's how even lesbians can greatly satisfy each other without a penis (and even without anything that even vaguely fullfilling any similar penetrative function), so, yeah, penises are grossly overrated anyways. Long story short, good sex is usually more than penis+vagina, no matter how you "wiggle" it, what you do with the rest of your body (but mainly hands and mouth I guess) to the rest of her body (look up 'erogenous zones' (now how woody does that sound? lol)).

    Disclaimer : Take my advice with a grain of salt, I've had no first hand experience... it's all theory to me, hehe.

    So, I have a large penis. Opinion? its a pain in the hole (no pun intended).

    Thanks mostly to girth more than anything, I have had numerous issues actually penetrating a girl on a one night stand, long term relationship, you name it. Its not all it cracks up to be, believe me. If it werent for tht one or two times it works great, i'd trade in a sec.

    (god i'm glad there's an anon option on here.)

    Really?? That would explain why you rarely see black men in Japanese porn ;). Kidding kidding. I had no idea about the "lady bits" though.. how would you know? :)

    I dated a guy whose penis looked like a belly button when flaccid. That is definitely small.

    I wouldn't go as far as asking how big we're talking, but I heard of people reporting such issues when it really was a lubrication issue..

    It was the guy I lost my virginity to, so while it was disappointing, I really didn't know any better. Also, I think it somehow affected my karma positively, because I've been quite lucky since! Knock on wood! (No pun intended.)

    If the man is really horny it should be quite hard and throbbing like the small alien that bursts out of the guy's stomach in aliens! Only kidding hee hee! The more horny I am anyway the bigger it gets, simple as.

    People come in a range of genital sizes, there is a range of what is normal and there are work arounds and different postions which can be used.

    The last guy I was seeing was large and while it was a beautiful thing to behold he thought that that was all he needed to be/do/have and so he was not all that good in bed.

    Smaller guys do often make much better lovers but in one case a guy I was seeing was so obsessed by the smaller size of his that he couldn't even get it up anymore.

    So, it's got little to do with size and more to do with how guys perceive and deal with their size, and of course girls can play their part too in encouraging/educating guys depending on the situation.

    Sounds exactly like what the OP needs to hear! :rolleyes:

    OP, seriously, don't worry! If a woman judges you on your penis size then they are not worth a second of your time, because they're idiots, and why would anyone want to go out with an idiot?

    Take a step back for a minute and ask yourself why its this way.
    Shellyboo's post is excellent so i wont paraphrase it..read it and think not in trems of size...but approach.

    The vagina is extremely elastic, you would be very surprised at how much and what can be achieved.
    If you are thick, then think of several things.... pleasure her fully first, get her relaxed and it will help immeasurably.
    ALWAYS have lube in this instance, a good lube works wonders .
    Dont run before you can walk. Get her used to the feel of it....
    In other words aroused and Relaxed
    Deep thrusts may look fine on the videos, but they should come once she has accepted it.
    Think about short teasing strokes, dont opush but allow her to open around it.
    Go back to digital if she tenses.
    Take it really really slow. Once she has taken it, there will be time to let go

    Even allow her to command think of positions where the penetration is shallow, think of ones where she can control the speed and depth

    But mostly thinkabout what shellyboo wrote :)
