I must know the truth. Is bigger better? You know what I mean. ---

I can’t say that bigger is neccessarily better, but really, really small is the worst. ---

you gotta remember that it isn’t some dark abyss down there, too big can be worse than too small. i’ve encountered “too big” before and after the initial surprise wore off, the pain set in… i think there was a quote once that said something along the lines of “if you aren’t hung like a horse, you better have a tongue like a rattlesnake” i agree 🙂 ---

Come on, **Pez** … it’s not original, but some of us missed out the last time. I luv ya anyway! 🙂 Okay, so I had this lengthy reply, full of double entendres and other amusing little things, but decided at the last minute to answer semi-seriously. [sub]okay, so I hit the ‘clear all fields’ button instead of submit. so sue me.[/sub] So, IMNSHO… In a word… no. Bigger is NOT better. Hell, I don’t like my cervix being poked and prodded once a year by my gynecologist, and he’s pretty gentle about it. I CERTAINLY don’t like it being beaten on a regular basis like a redheaded stepchild while I’m trying to get Mr. Happy O. I want to be able to be totally lost in the moment… to not have anything on my mind except melting into the other person. If a guy drops his pants and all I can think is “And you’re gonna put that WHERE?”, it kind of ruins the mood. But I’ll agree with **Caicci** and say almost non-existent is a problem as well, for entirely different reasons. _ **TMI ALERT!!! Whoop!! Whoop!! Whoop!!** _ Perfect for me is between 6 and 7.5 inches, and wide enough for me to just get my hand around… last time I checked, that’s about a little over 2 inch diameter. Of course, I’m one of those lucky women who, no matter how much, how long, or with who, will always remain… ahem… tight. Has its advantages and disadvantages. If there are problems, KY is your friend. 😃 -BK ---

I’ve been told on several occasions that I was more than the woman was prepared to handle, and it definitely did _not_ enhance the experience. ---

Ahhh…just the answers I was looking for. Thanks gang! I guess I was feeling a little inadequate today and just needed some reassurance. 😉 Sorry about the unoriginality of the OP, or the Un-OP as it may be. As you can see, I’m sort of new here and didn’t realize the topic had been so thoroughly explored already. ---

\<\\> I’ve seen everything in the range from “Quick! Get a forked stick and hold its head down!” to “oh, how CUTE!” and I have to say that what makes it good is the dirty little thoughts in your head, not the specifications of your winky. In fact if you seem to be a bit smaller than your partner’s relevant anatomy, you won’t be tenderizing her internal organs when you just want to show her a good time. Treat it as an advantage, take your time with it because you don’t have to worry about overactive poking, and she’ll be walking around with a goofy grin for days. Being a little smaller than average is also cool because of the specifications of the average mouth. Count your blessings. 😉 Corr ---

Bigger _can_ be better; it entirely depends on who it’s attached to. There’s hardly any room in there anyway, so bigger just means more fun is required before hand - I’m apparently very high maintenance. ---

Fibbers, all of you. Bigger **is** better, we all know it. Small’s ok when you’re single, drunk and it’s Saturday night. It’s not ok for the long haul. ---

Ok I have to get logical on you folks. The pleasure area on a womens vagina is only about two inches deep. So theoreticaly if your penis is at least two inches long you have the ability to stimulate a woman with your penis. However it may be more exciting for a woman if you did have a bigger penis for the same reason it might be more exciting for a man if the woman had big breast. Its not really necessary but it might be more pleasing as far as a psychological state of mind would go. So basicaly it depends on the woman. Besides women don’t normaly decide weather or not if they want to be with a man based solely on the size of his package. Most are much more deeper than that. btw I _am_ a man in case anybody was wondering I just had to put my…uh…two cents in. ---

I actually like mine a little on the small side of average. I’m pretty small and on occasion, the SO has bumped right up the end, which feels kind of strange. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/one-for-the-ladies/86341.md?page=2)
