Aside: I read a science fiction book recently where a human man is romantically involved with an alien woman, and she points out that any attempt at physical intimacy is doomed to frustration, because he’s simultaneously too big _and_ too small. It’s never stated explicitly, but I think the aliens are both longer and thinner than we are. ---

For the sake of science, I have been playing with my tape measure in relation to my hand size. There’s a lot of variation of perception depending on hand position. I think a “6” could easily measure out as a “5” or a “7” depending on how you were measuring it. I could ask for help with the measuring tape in the name of science, but I think he’d think I had lost it. Sorry, off topic, just an observation. Another thought, just as men are built differently, women are built differently as well. I know a friend of mine and I partook at different times one of the TOO BIG guys, and she thought he was the greatest thing ever. I wasn’t impressed. ---

Yeah, those are all just like reality. Practically documentaries. ---

I would take thickness over length any day. Too big is too big and after a while it just gets uncomfortable. ---

> [@JohnT](#): > > I think you’re supposed to measure it from the top. The accepted measure is: Measure the top of the penis, with the subject standing, the penis at a 90 degree angle to the subjects body, from the base to the tip. Basically, the part of the penis that can be inserted into an orifice. Didn’t a condom manufacturer do a mass penis measuring event at a Ft. Lauderdale Spring Break? ---

> [@fisha](#): > > 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. It does, and it takes all the fun right out of it. One minute you’re thinking, “This is going to be great!” and the next you’re like, “Wow. You’re not going to put any effort into this are you… Well, okay, I guess you can just lay there if you want.” I would honestly rather not have sexy fun time at all if it’s going to be dead fish sex. ---
