frankly im not a great fan of how the penis looks. sure when youre using it and in the moment and the whole mojo thing is working, fine. but from a purely visual esthetic point of view, its just not working for me. as for the OP and discussing it with other women, maybe i dont know the right women but the topic never comes up and ive never told a friend “u know frankly i really thinking short stubby ones that bend to the left are hot” ---

I watch gay porn because I love dicks. No, I mean it, and I’m not even being sarcastic here - I love dicks. The men attached, not so great, but dicks, always welcome. You know what I mean? They’re greeeeaaat. Why? Well, they’re all different - they’re like snowflakes. And they’re one thing, and they’re another thing. They’re transformers. You start off, and it’s not small, it’s just there, and it’s beautiful, and you’re like, Awww, it looks like a corsage. - Margaret Cho ---

Longer is good, but wider is not. The second guy I was with was too big and it was painful. It doesn’t really matter as much as men think it does. but wait til we get the measuring tape out and see how you run! ha ---

Curvature is extremely important? Great, now I’m gonna have to sand the corners off this thing. ---

I have to throw my 2 cents in - women don’t generally talk about it, because heaven forbid it should get back to the man you are with. You tell her, she tells her man in the usual flourish of the original comment, he teases the hell out of yours next time they get drunk… not good. I certainly wouldn’t make it a factor in whether or not I would stay with a man - technique is way more important than visual. I also agree that girth is more important than length, but average is best in all respects, especially from the oral action perspective. But I will say that if I am not there in person, yes, I would rather watch porn with a well endowed man in it. The one thing I haven’t seen mentioned that I am particularly fond of is a very defined graduation from “helmet” to the rest. Yummy yummy. Sofa King, don’t saw those edges off!!! That’s the best part to my way of thinking. 😛 ---

All this “curvature appreciation” discussion will probably sell a lot of tight jockey shorts! Maybe not … ya gotta start young! ---

I do believe curvature is appreciated in the upward direction, not to one side or the other… this hits the G spot the best… look at the toys designed to hit the G spot - you’ll get the idea quick. ---

Of course, if a guy doesn’t have curvature, he can still reach the G spot with the right…er… angle of approach, so to speak. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/question-for-females-about-their-perception-of-male-genetalia/122321.md?page=2)
