[QUOTE=Acid Lamp] To this day, the GM can’t look me in the eye when I stop by to visit with old co-workers. [/QUOTE] Sounds like her being unable to look you in the eye was the problem in the first place. ---

[QUOTE=CalMeacham] I don’t bthink you need to “get it all the way in”. You can place some sort of “donut” around the base of the shaft to limit penetration. I understand they manufacture things precisely for this purpose. [/QUOTE] Why would you need a donut for that? Er, a “donut”? I mean, if it’s not going in all the way, isn’t it just not going to go in? Or would it bang uncomfortably against the cervix if you didn’t give it some leeway? ---

[QUOTE=elmwood] An aside: are there women that are exceptionally deep? [/QUOTE] I won’t pretend to know the answer to _that_ question 😛 , but I can turn it around and say that some women are exceptionally shallow. (Physically, not just emotionally.) Seems to me that women’s equipment comes in a variety of widths and depths. They have physical variations same as we men do. ---

> [@](#): > > Why would you need a donut for that? Er, a “donut”? I mean, if it’s not going in all the way, isn’t it just not going to go in? Putting the donut on will _prevent_ your banging into the cervix. Your partner might appreciate that. You could simply plunge in with reckless abandon, not worrying about how deep you’re plumbing. ---

[QUOTE=Snarky\_Kong] How about “none of the above?” Such comments have been made innumerable times on every internet forum ever. It’s especially unfunny in a thread that is specifically soliciting opinions from well endowed men and only one poster claimed to be such. It’s total thread-shitting as far as I’m concerned. [/QUOTE] Oh puh-leeze. Humour definitely has a place in a thread like this. ---

You could simply plunge in with reckless abandon, not worrying about how deep you’re plumbing.

[QUOTE=elmwood] Welcome to Doperland, where … the average penis size makes a porn star seem like he’s got a cocktail weenie between his legs by comparison. [/QUOTE] It’s conceivable that at least some of this effect is simply honest, but selective, reporting. (I.e., the guys with shorter penises are less likely to announce it; thus, the average gets skewed) ---

[QUOTE=Freudian Slit] I’m glad no one’s ever banged into my cervix, though. [/QUOTE] Maybe not banging into but I (or my partners to be precise) have found that hitting the cervix in the right way can be _very_ good. It’s all about technique. ---

[QUOTE=Skara\_Brae] I am sorry, but what? HR sided with the GM? How? The whole “avert your eyes” solution was never mentioned to her? Good Lord, any women with those kinds of issues (whatever they are - I can’t even think) shouldn’t be working with men… [/QUOTE] In this particular instance, there was a lot of BS going on at the company, most of which had to do with the GM’s personality defects. As **Acid Lamp** ’s SO, this incident put the GM from “kind of a wimpy bitch” in my mind to “over the top crazy bitch” with no real effort. From this issue to issues of the GM waffling on personnel decisions\* on a regular basis and dicking employees out of bonuses just because she _could_, she was a bad boss who was only predictable on the negative side of things, and this situation just made the workplace atmosphere a lot more tense and absurd than it was in the first place. [sub]\*She was the “I hate confrontation so I can’t say no to anybody” type, which made the entire situation of **Acid Lamp** ’s pants/crotch issue worse for HR and the staff involved to deal with.[/sub] As for size issues brought up, big is not always better, and things work out most nights as long as we’re having sex on a regular basis. When we were doing the LDR bit, it was more work to have successful conjugal relations, as my equipment had to become used to accommodating a larger-than-average size penis for one weekend every month or so. As far as I know, I don’t have an exceptionally long vagina, but I don’t have a shallow one either, and it doesn’t get all the way in, but it does occasionally bump the cervix. Most of the time when that happens, it’s my fault, though. ---

> [@](#): > > It’s conceivable that at least some of this effect is simply honest, but selective, reporting. (I.e., the guys with shorter penises are less likely to announce it; thus, the average gets skewed) One would expect a selection effect to be especially pronounced in a thread such as this one. Even if a fellow is perfectly satisfied with his four inches, he doesn’t have any real contribution to make in this thread, since it simply isn’t relevant to a question about large penes. Now watch, some joker is going to post right after me to tell us about his four-inch penis. ---

Me, I just snake it around my waist underneath my clothes. It makes me look thicker through the middle, but… Aw, who’m I kidding. Even if I could scrape a cervix, I’d be hard put to find one to scrape. ---

[QUOTE=Indistinguishable] It’s conceivable that at least some of this effect is simply honest, but selective, reporting. (I.e., the guys with shorter penises are less likely to announce it; thus, the average gets skewed) [/QUOTE] Penis size is a Gaussian distribution, and the mean is less than 6". One medical study, with the participants being given an erection drug to ensure maximum tumescence and being measured by urologists, had a mean of 5.5". **Acid Lamp** is claiming to be larger than Ron Jeremy. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Is there a volunteer willing to receive a video of proof of **Acid Lamp’s** remarkable appendage?
