I had a guy like that once too. I call him “pinky dick.” We had been friends for several months and used to dance together all the time. He was a wonderful dancer and had great rythym so I figured he’d probably be good in bed too. Boy, was I _wrong_! As for size… as long as it’s at least 6 inches (no more than 9) and I can get my hand/mouth around it… it’s good. I don’t like men that are hung like a horse but I don’t like pinky dicks either. And I’ve had two kids too but I’m just as tight as I was when I was 15. Kegels are the key… before, during, and after pregnancy! ---

Kegels are definitely worth the time. As for size, as my ex used to say (and he was very well endowed), “It ain’t the size of the boat, it’s the motion in the ocean.” ---

I like “user-friendly” sized. Big enough that I know it’s there, but not so big it hurts. I’m very happy with somewhere in the approximately 6" long and about 2" around range. > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by jane\_says_ > **Small’s ok when you’re single, drunk and it’s Saturday night. It’s not ok for the long haul** I beg to differ. Big may be okay for a drunken Saturday night change of pace, but give me a penis that fits very well in almost orifice over something that leaves me feeling saddle-sore and painfully aware I still have my appendix. [sub]And does 2 1/2 months shy of 9 years qualify as a “long haul”?[/sub] ---

I’m not _generally_ high-maintenance - only when it comes to sex. 😃 ---

With regards to length, do you measure the top surface or the bottom? There is a difference. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/one-for-the-ladies/86341.md?page=1)
