(agreement with **ernj** hijack) Hmm. Men are (in general) unneccessarily insecure about penis length. All my female friends have said that anything over, say, 7 in. might startle them a bit. I could deal just fine with anything 8" & under, but that’s another thread. 😃 Anyway, yeah. Don’t worry about not being lengthy enough; chances are, you’re fine. Being run through with a 10" penis probably isn’t the fantasy of most women. Girth, however…Well, just listen to **ernj** in regard to that subject. 🙂 (/agreement with **ernj** hijack) ---

Okay, I know, I know, it’s not supposed to matter, - even my gf tells me to stop worrying and that mine is “perfect” - but it’s size queens and pornos that keep making me feel inadequate. Here’s a snippet of a convo I was present for: “I was with this one boy who was only six and a half inches, and I had to try hard not to laugh.” Grrrr. I didn’t say anything at the time, but it was like a little punch in the stomach - didn’t help that it was someone I found attractive. [though since i’m taken, i wouldn’t actually do anything with her.] anyway, about the “oh boy!”… well, my gf had supplied the measurements, but she hadn’t pushed back the fat resided in the pubic area - when I did my own measurements and did push it back, I gained an extra half inch. so i’m apparently 6.5" long and 5.2" circumference. whee! oddly enough, i’m not really all that fat elsewhere, why does it seem to gather there i wonder? ---

1. Several inches 2. Larger than #1 3. If it bent while it was hard, I’d be doubled over in pain 4. Cut, very nicely too. I don’t need no stinkin’ Tug-Ahoy! 5. Fargo ---

Goodness, what I force myself to do on this board… 1. around 1 inch (it looks like a button on a fur coat most of the time). 2. around 7 inches (I’m a grower, not a show-er) 3. Bends very slightly upward 4. JDT’s best friend 5. I may shave my head, but I don’t shave things I can’t see… If the 35 lbs=1 inch rule is accurate, when I lose the weight I want to lose, it’ll be about 14" long. I believe my shy penis was mentioned in the old “telescopic penis” thread…but I’m too lazy to look for it. 😃 jayjay ---

“If the 35 lbs=1 inch rule is accurate, when I lose the weight I want to lose, it’ll be about 14” long." Dude, you could cut it in half and go diphallic and you’d still be longer than some folks in here… This moment of incredibly painful “humor” is brought to you by scissors and the letters C, R A Z and Y. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Sue Duhnym \* > \*\* > Screw all this length and girth stuff, I want the volume. In cubic centemeters. Hop to it boys, I’m trying to change the world! \*\* IIRC volume is Pi R squared x length. R = 2 cm. Pi (for this argument) is 3.14 Length is 15cm So, that would be 3.14 x 4 x 15 which is 188 cubic centimeters. Does that sound right ?? ---

Oh, what the hell. You’ll all get a good laugh anyway… You see, there’s Howard Stern… then theres me. OK– 1. It’s hard to say. I’ll go with 1 ‘’ flacid (It’s a grower) My boy is somewhat like a shrinky dink, but the opposite. He sits there like an olive resting on his two horses until he’s called to action. 2. about 5 1/2 ‘’. Yes, he truely does grow that much. Id on’t know why or how. But believe me, its true. Its just too bad that he doesn’t grow more. He’s pretty fat, too, though I’ve never measured girth. 3. No curvature 4. Cut 5. I have shaved it all off once, but thati s the only time a razor has come close to my boys. It is currently as natural as it gets… ---

Yes p.s. MeanJoe, why would a guy enlarge his penis the same way women enlarge breasts??? I know they want bigger D\*\*\*s, but I doubt it’s worth not being able to feel it anymore! ---

The sucker when soft: 4 inches or a lil less. The sucker when hard: just under 7 inches. Direction of erectile flow: The only way is up. Only really bends while soft. Status of the foreskin around the area designated “glans”: Cut Status of the hair located near the area designated as “pubic”: Trimmed when length becomes unacceptable. ---

Wouldn’t it, ideally, be the suckee? (Oh, and, seriously, any ideas for what to include in a cunt poll, OTHER THAN “Do you have one?” ?) ---
