It matters to me. If it’s under 6 inches, I’m not terribly interested.
It’s not a matter of breaking up with someone because they’re too small, it’s a matter of discreetly saying bye after the first encounter. I guess the exception would be someone I felt really connected with on other levels. Fortunately, anyone I’ve connected with has been of considerable size.
Agreed, Hello Again, & zephrine
We women probably tend to answer this question with our own configuration in mind.
What is perfect for me, might be the equivalent of throwing a hotdog down a hallway for someone else. Or conversely, the equivalent of trying to stuff a 10 pound sausage into a 5 pound sleeve.
So therefore, I’d like to change my answer. Yes, size does matter.
Thanks for all your honest opinions on the subject. I have one quick question that is a little off topic, but it doesnt warrant its own thread. When a guy is on top, and is about to initiate “missionary position” sex, does he have to use his hand to guide himself in? Would it look like you didn’t know what you were doing if you had to use your hand to get it in? (Sorry, I tried to be least graphic as possible.) This is just something that has always bugged me. 
I wouldn’t worry about that at all.
Even experienced people have to help guide the action sometimes. It’s better to use your hand for guidance than to poke around or just sort of try pushing it in blindly. That could hurt either one of you and that’s not very horny. (Unless you’re into that but…nah, I don’t think it’s the same thing. Nevermind.)
Well, I’ll tell you this: it’s been so long since I’ve had sex with anyone but my hubby, I’ve almost forgotten what sex with anyone else is like. We’ve been at it for about 20 years now. Sometimes, in any position, his penis (which we’ve named “Herbie” 
) can find its own way in, sometimes, Herbie needs a little guidance (it’s dark down there, and the poor little guy only has one eye, after all). Sometimes hubby does the guiding, sometimes me. But the point is, if we still need some guiding after all this time, I wouldn’t think if anyone else did, that it would make them look inexperienced.
As far as the original question goes, I’ve been with one guy who was so small that sex wasn’t really that enjoyable for me (he was probably under 4"), and one guy who was about 8", and if he wasn’t careful it got uncomfortable. Everything in between has been just fine, provided the bearer has decent technique.
Norinew, that’s not nice to make me laugh so hard…I have tears leaking out the sides of my eyes. Thank Og I’m not drinking anything!
For me, I generally like it when they’re rather wide, but not overly long. That last part is because I have an inverted cervix, which means that it can get bumped against rather easily, which of course is uncomfortable.
But how wide is considered preferable? 2 inches wide? What’s considered average?
This thread reminds me of another question. I feel kinda weird asking this, but, what about pubic hair? How do women feel about it? Shaved? Trimmed? (In particular the testicles.)

Dare I ask WHY it’s named Herbie? It wouldn’t happen to be funded by the socialist party or have red & blue racing stripes and be 5.3" long ?
I’ve had a sex with a guy 9+ inches, I’ve had a sex with a guy whose penis was no bigger than his thumb, and the rest were points in between. The 9+ inch hurt (sorry if TMI) while I barely felt the other. I don’t need a "Dongzilla "(ow!) but I like girth. Length doesn’t really matter (no “thumbs” please) but he has to have decent girth. I also don’t mind a curving upwards, downwards, left or right. And he has to enjoy receiving oral, that’s a must.
Yes I think size does matter to a degree. I would have to agree with between 5" - 8" in length and around 2" in diameter. As previously stated, it’s no fun if you can’t feel it but there certainly is such a thing as too big. But don’t worry if you don’t fall into that range as there are plenty of women out there who like small penises and also ones which are extra large.
I would like to add that a vagina can change to accommodate most penis sizes with regular use. The first time one can seem either too small or too large but before long it will feel just right.
Yes guiding with your hand is completely acceptable and I think most women would prefer it if you were trimmed.
I’d also like to add that, as was established in foreplay thread, there’s more to sex than actual penetration. You can be the perfect size, and the perfect fit, but if you don’t know what you’re doing, it’s not going to impress anyone. I’ve never measured (mentally or physically) anyone’s dick, and with two noticeable exceptions, it’s all about what you do with your whole body to my whole body (as opposed to merely what you do with “it”), not whether your penis is an inch longer or shorter or wider or narrower than the previous man’s.
Nah. It’s named after a 1970’s kids’ movie: Herbie the Love Bug!
