Counterpose to [Curious [do guys really like bigger breasts?]](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=728925)
I’m curious because I’ve never had any complaints but then I see these movies and… :eek:

Not a gal but my opinion, based on my lifetime of sexual experiences (as limited as they may be) is that, despite all the claims to the contrary, _yes_, women like a big cock.
ETA: Im not talking about freak-show porn star big, just well-endowed.

A big cock is like a vacation in some exotic locale. It’s fun for a couple of weeks but then you kind of wanna just get home to the routine.
IM very much O.

By big, do you mean long or thick? Men obsess over the length of their penis, but from what I’ve seen, women actually care more about diameter. And the vagina has a definite end. The over-size porn stars like Ron Jeremy always seemed to wind up with their extra length outside of the pussy, that the only time they could fuck deeply was anally or being deep throated.

If I like the guy, I automatically like his genitals.

I prefer thick to long. Long and thin is a waste of time. Ain’t nothing much happen then.

Digital/oral stimulation and talk matter far more to me than penis size. I’ve yet to be with a guy who has failed to please, regardless of the size of his junk. I’m sure there’s a lower limit, but I’ve never run into a situation where I wish, “Damn, if only his penis was a little bigger, \*then \*I’d be having fun.”
But sure, all other things equal, bigger isn’t worse.

This topic is posted at least once quarter.

Oh come on, all other things being equal, bigger is better. Every-single-woman I’ve ever been with, and many others that I’ve talked to have echoed those sentiments.
ETA: now of course, this doesnt mean _every single woman alive_ has this preference, sure tastes vary.

I thought women didn’t care about penis size because they were too busy worry if their breasts were big enough.

I’m pretty sure they don’t care about penis size, only that you have a big, fat wallet.

I’ve had both Too Small and Too Big. There’s a very large middle ground of Just Right, though. And with both Too Small and Too Big, there were plenty of other fun activities to be had, so it wasn’t a dealbreaker.
If I had to pick Too Small or Too Big (assuming the men attached to the appendage were identical in other appealing ways), I’d go with Too Small. Too Small is just a little frustrating. Too Big is both frustrating and painful.

Which have you encountered more frequently? Too big or too small?

As a dude (and I think most guys who think about it would agree), I’d like a bigger dick for me, not to please a size queen. Thicker means the vagina is effectively tighter, and longer means more transit time (hence, I’m assuming, more sensation) for each stroke. Attracting more ladies would mainly be a side benefit, if it happened at all. Frankly, I’m happy with my size, it hasn’t been a problem for any woman I’ve been with, and there’s probably not a lot of room to grow before I’d start hurting women, which would be counterproductive.

Yeah, the main benefit of an enormous schlong is to beat other guys over the head with. The assumption is that the ladies will go for whoever is the last man standing after the cock-slapping contest.

3 Too Small, 2 Too Big. I ain’t tellin’ how many Just Rights, but from my rudimentary memory of Statistics, the total sample size makes the difference between Too Smalls and Too Bigs statistically insignificant. 😉

Based only on my own sexual history, most of the women I’ve been with have acknowledged that they’ve had bigger than me, as well as smaller. But most have them have complimented me on the quality, if not the quantity, of what I had to offer, so I’m pretty satisfied with what I have and what I’m able to do with it.
I suspect a big cock is to women what big tits are to guys- they grab your attention and they’re nice to play with for a while, but you get back to reality and realize that about average is preferable.

Over the years, I have experienced four Too Smalls and never met a Too Big (but I don’t get out much). Just Rights have been few and far between. And, unlike **PunditLisa** , I do not automatically like a man’s genitalia, whatever the size, just because I like him. Sad to admit, but I put up with one man far, far longer than I should have because he was Just Right. Unfortunately, that was the \*only \*thing about him that was just right. ☹
