Only one guy.
Think of your average can of coca cola. Imagine it 9" long.
That guy was getting nowhere with me.
We did other things instead.
About 6 months later we hooked up again, but the situation (unsurprisingly) hadn’t changed.
That poor guy, face of an angel, body of a Greek god, dick so big he’d never actually found anyone able (but plenty willing) to have sex with him.
That’s it, everyone else it’s just a matter of switching position so my cervix doesn’t get hit.

Only guy it’s happened with has been small. YMMV.
And as far as penis size is concerned, I’d just like to take the time to throw in a couple of links.
[First](http://www.free-condom-stuff.com/education/research.htm), The penis size survery from Ansell.
> [@](#):
>
> It is fair to say that in all cases, where medical staff has measured erect penis size, the average length has been below 6 inches and in every case where the surveys rely on self-measurement and voluntary reporting the average leaps over six inches. Interestingly average girth remains around 5 inches in all surveys.
> Using the figure of 5.877 inches from the LifeStyles Condoms Average Penis Size Survey it appears that men on average exaggerate their penis length by a quarter to a half an inch when they are permitted to measure and report their own size.
> The results do show that the difference between small penises, average penis size and large penises is not so great as folklore might have us believe.
And [second](http://www.sizesurvey.com/result.html), a self reported survey ; what a surprise, that has results well over that of the Ansell survey.
I don’t know, it just irks me when guys/girls greatly over-estimate penis size.

You’re right, there is no way you can possibly contribute anything to this thread. I guess you could hope he reads it clinically, and not paternally. But since I’m a dad too, there is nothing but trouble for you here **elfbabe**. Go and share your words and wisdom on another topic where your post won’t make your dad say “eeewwww.”

Me too, seems juvenile. But who did that here?

Not me, cause I haven’t even mentionmed my 18" cock yet, which, I’m sad to say, is really only 17.75". ☹

OK, I had to close my browser because the boss wandered by to see why I was laughing so hard…

Maybe you could post in a “Dad Spoiler,” **elfbabe**.
And your sexual position preference gives your location a whole new meaning, **Inigo**.

Never been a problem for me, although it’s a recurring issue for my best friend.
We attribute this to the fact that she’s nigh-onto six inches shorter than me and short-bodied to boot. I’m tall and have a long torso. Plenty of room for erm things.
In point of fact, one of the gentlemen she had “issue” with in this manner, I had no trouble with at all.
Plus, the times my cervix has been bumped I didn’t find it unpleasant. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t the Best Thing Ever either, but it didn’t bother me. It was a “meh”. Well, as meh as vigorous entertaining sex can be anyway 😃
I do know (from the extensive consultations my best friend has had with her OB/GYN and then reported back) that quite often it’s not necessarily a petite warren so much as other issues that’s the trouble.
Part of it is that girls are built differently too - shorter, longer, wider, narrower - they ain’t all the same.
Inigo’s lady friend has nobody to blame but herself though under the circumstances 🙂

Speak for yourself! 🙂 I, myself, find the sensation better than orgasm.

**lorinada’s** cervix, meet **bouv’s** 18" (ok ok, 17.75") cock. **bouv’s** 17.75" cock, meet **lorinada’s** cervix. I think you two will get along beautifully.

Well. I never would have foreseen this turning into a flirt thread.

The moment sex is mentioned the possibility comes up.

I can’t be the only one who saw this thread and thought the OP actually had the nerve to start a mild rant about women’s driving abilities.

This thread reminds me of a long-ago sex thread where a female poster recalled an unpleasant sexual episode. The post was memorable because she described this guy’s over enthusiasm as “If he were trying to batter down the gates of Troy”
From the responses in this thread it appears that quite a few women’s Gates of Troy have been thoroughly, um, battered. 😛

As opposed to “knock, knock, knockin’ on heaven’s door”?
