[QUOTE=bigbabysweets2000] You’d be surprised at what people will admit to in this place. [/QUOTE] I’d like to add that even though I haven’t shared my penis legth in this thread, I go by the very scientific Carolla-method of measuring. You start measuring from the center of your anus along the bottom to just out past your tip. ---

Hmm, I’m a petite woman (5’0), married to a man of average height (5’11’’), and larger than average…build. He likes me being small, mostly so he can pick me up and fling me around the place. That goes double in the bedroom. For some reason most of the guys I’ve been with were over 6’ tall with larger than average equipment. My hands are small, but the span from my thumb to my little finger is 8", so I do have some idea! I think some guys just like to feel protective and strong, and some are won over by personality or other physical attributes. One guy liked my very, very small feet…he didn’t get very far as it’s not my thing. I doubt it really has much to do with insecurity about penis size. Personally I like tall, well-built men, and it’s not because I’m worried about whether or not they’ll touch the sides! ---

[QUOTE=OneCentStamp] Think of cars. [/QUOTE] I was thinking of maybe detergent boxes, where “economy size” is the one that requires help to lift. ---

I don’t quite understand what seems to be the average guy’s issue with tall women, but in my area, at 5’9.5", I dwarf the vast majority of the women around here. This wasn’t as much the case when I was in school, but I did have quite the insecurity complex because I was “too tall” for just about all the guys that were in the dating pool. As for the height/vagina size ratio, we’ve shown at least anecdotally that it doesn’t really work. I’m an odd specimen in that my vagina is long but sufficiently narrow. Too big generally doesn’t come in a length issue but a girth issue, and it just doesn’t work sometimes. I never really did seek someone out because of their size, though I have been known to turn away men who were hung like a Foster’s can before; it’d never fit in a million years. ---

I think a few of us guys just can’t get over the quote from _Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo_: “Have you ever parked a bicycle in an airplane hangar? Have you ever thrown a matchstick into a volcano?” :eek: 😃 ---

I so should have come back and checked this thread earlier. _snicker_ In reference, both gynecologists were lady gynecologists, though the very first pelvic exam I ever had was by a male gynecologist who was very nice and 6’ 6" with hands that could have spanned an octave and a half on a piano. Hence, I stick with the lady gynecologists. In the first instance of complimentary observance, I did respond with something along the lines of a “um…thanks”. With the second, she’d already said “bring me the extra large speculum” because my cervix has a habit of hiding. By the time she was done tunneling to China, I didn’t like her very much. ---

The funny thing is, the parts in question are designed (with convincing) to pass a _child_. The vagina is a rather elastic and accommodating place. The ones I’ve been familiar with all seemed to ‘take up the slack’ as it were as necessary. Is it hot in here? If a guy were choosing his dates based on _that_ criteria, then he’s probably not experienced enough to know that, for the bulk of the bell-curve, it probably doesn’t matter. ---

I am a little confused about the cervical bang thing. I have no clue how I compare but I have always been able to reach the cervix with my wang or even fingers (which are much shorter than my wang). I always assumed the cervical bang was an _angle_ issue rather than _length_, or … are there a lot of men walking around less well endowed than my index/middle fingers? Just for the sake of science I pulled out a ruler…and measured my middle and index fingers – 3 3/4" middle and 3 1/2" index.
