> [@Ambivalid](#): > > Which have you encountered more frequently? Too big or too small? I have met exactly one Too Big. The ride (heheh) was enjoyable, but I was happy to get off when it ended. (The metaphors never end do they?) I have never encountered Too Small, ever. My sample size is not huge (another one!) but it is large (ok that’s enough) enough that you would think I had run across one. The only one that was completely 100% unsatisfying was the premature ejaculator and that was more because of his reaction. I was prepared to try again later, right up unto the point he insulted me! ---

Tell you what guys, if you want to know how women feel about penises here’s what you do. Go out and buy yourself a large 70" TV and watch all your favorite programs on it for a week. Now, put the 70" away and replace it with a 27" TV and watch all the same shows you did before. Compare the two experiences. Conclusion: The shows were still enjoyable on both TVs, but there’s something about that big TV… /Kidding…(But with a dash of truth.) ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > “Is it in yet?” > > “I can’t tell.” Yes. That was #1 Too Small guy. Even when it was confirmed that penetration had occurred, I honestly thought he had a finger in there instead of a penis. And not one of his bigger fingers, more like his pinkie finger. I think he was perhaps truly in possession of a micropenis (\>/= 2.5 Standard Deviations below the mean). So…that’s how small you have to be to be Too Small. Really damn small. Trust me, most of you have nothing to worry about. ---

Trust me, most of you have nothing to worry about. I had girls tell me before that they’ve seen guys who were as literally as big as your (or a typical man’s) pinky finger _when erect_. I’ve always wondered if they were really serious or were they just being hyperbolic. ---

Cervical bruising hurts. Frankly, on the “too small” or “too big” scale, “too big” is painful and unpleasant. Too small is just unsatisfying. I’ll admit, I’m strange about my cervix - I don’t like ANYTHING touching it - having it banged repeatedly with the tip of a penis is NOT my idea of a good time. ---

I haven’t been with a lot of guys either, but that’s totally true for the one Too Small guy I unfortunately had a sampling of. I’d never seen anything so small. And no, there was no pleasure to be had for me in that romp, but eventually, he went on to have a couple of kids, so someone made it work for them. On the topic of larger, I’ve been in the same vicinity of two Two Large guys that I was determined to not let those things anywhere near my virgined self (at the time). Even taking the matter into my hands didn’t help. It was just too much. Ugh. But the rest of my experience has been running about the middle ground and I agree that a bit of girth is good, coupled with more length than, say, 6" or above. Anything over 8.5" and I’d be backing away quickly. ---

I’ve had a couple that were TOO BIG. It really isn’t that much fun. Plus it kinda limits me, limits my interaction, I’m basically impaled. There is also the “I have a big penis, so I don’t really have to try at all, just worship me” thing that they have going, which I bet might happen with gorgeous women. I haven’t seen a too small, but there is variation on average size. Maybe I’ve been lucky. I just got out my tape measure, and measured from my wrist to the top of my middle finger. It’s a little over 7". I’m thinking that’s pretty much around everything I’ve seen, give or or take an inch. With the exception of the TOO BIG. The only thing I really, really don’t like is non functioning. One guy was like that, I tried to be helpful and patient, but I can’t fix that, and I didn’t think it was worth the bother. In summary, huge penis is overrated. ---

It’s true, very very true. I feel bad for guys like that. On the other extreme, my partner was with someone that was somewhere around 10.5". Said it sounded like a good time at first, but after realized that was just too big.
