You always hear this question, more so now that the internet has several companies claiming that penis size does matter when being able to be better sexually satisfied. So, for the Teeming Millions, what do you think? ---

**racosun** I beleive this is the wrong forum since there is not a definitve answer to your **OP**. I am sure a moderator will be along any minute now to shuffle this off to **IMHO**. Over a year on this board, first time I have been the first to note that an **OP** is in the wrong forum. Now if just had the power to say “Off to **IMHO**.” ---

ummmm, well maybe initially or perhaps asthetically. As far as the rest of the ride goes, er um…it’s not what’s inside that matters. And while it seems I’m of a different opinion than the previous posters on this matter; don’t try to make up for a lack of size with marathon 5-hour jack hammer sessions…_yawns, checks watch_ I think the oven needs cleaning, the engine degreasing, the weeds pulled, roof reshingled…etc. ---

Ok, I read some of those links that were given. A Women’s vagina type repeatedly came up as a factor. Why don’t women get any flack then? I know, you’re going to say “women get the flack for everything else as far as appearance.” HORSE TURDS! I’m 5"5.’ I’ve met some men who like heavy women. I’ve met some men who like skinny women. Some like Tall, or short. Some men like some pretty “weird” things. Some men I know like “uterly normal” women. I have YET to meet a woman who WANTS to find a man who is shorter than them. Not just putting up with it, but wants it. There IS some light at the end of the tunnel for me, it seems. Since I am so short, it makes other parts of me look a little bigger. 😉 OH, WHO AM I’M KIDDING?? NO IT DOESN’T!!:smack: ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by handy \* > \*\*Who are they? I want to see a list of companies. \*\* Don’t you check your e-mail? I get spammed all the time with e-mails saying something to the effect that bigger is better. I am most certainly not going to open them and take the names down for you. They would just send me more damn e-mail spam. P.S. I’m new here, so sorry about posting in the wrong forum. I tried the search, but nothing came up. Maybe I did it wrong. ---

Yes, it is VERY important for … for males. One’s endowment has a tremendous impact on one’s psyche; whether it is naturally ingrained or socially constructed, I can not say. But men will always be envious of those that have larger penises. As for women, well, a lot of them do like the bigger penises (without getting into ridiculous sizes). Typically, slightly larger than average gets the job done properly. There are also numerous sexual positions that can not be achieved with any degree of success without a 7+ inch penis. Both males and females usually find larger penises more visually pleasing - a hefty unit should be in proportion with a body; a good sized penis is one that can be held by two hands and still have a little room on top. I myself have had great success with penis enlargement exercises, and the increased size has had a tremendous impact on both my confidence level and my love life. I have a thread about it [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=125581), if one wishes to know more. No man should ever have to live with the shame of a small penis. ---

Damn, I just read some of the links. Please don’t think I’m some kind of troll or anything. I couldn’t figure out how to use ‘search’ properly (believe me, I tried) and was curious as to what the knowledgable “Teaming Millions” would say about a well-discussed topic. I have no interest in bragging about anything I have in my pants. You can stop replying to this now, as I have read more than what I had hoped for already. Thanks for taking your time to answer me. Sorry about asking this question for yet another time. ---

> [@](#): > > \*\*No man should ever have to live with the shame of a small penis. \*\* But what if your penis is simply too\* large\*? One of our SDMB members “Spoofe” has had a problem with this as his near foot long love baguette is more than most women will allow into their oven. Spoofe also has a problem with being too handsome, but that is a somewhat different matter. Can the lengthening process you reference be combined with the [Tug Ahoy](http://www.tugahoy.com/) technology for a complete penile enhancement package?
