We’re not talking marriage here, we’re talking SEX. Meow. Well, um, isn’t that what I said? It’s fun for short periods of time. I don’t talk to my friends about sex. At all. And I have had experience \*and \* problems with men hung too well. It’s not a minivan down there, you know. ---

I’ve always really enjoyed larger men, and fortunately I haven’t had to experience any really small ones. I mean, oral can only do so much, I get immense pleasure from the “filled-up” feeling a large member can give me. > > I have never found it painful unless there wasn’t adequate foreplay. Maybe I’ve just been lucky, or maybe I’m built a little differently that accomodating a large one isn’t a problem for me. The average sized men were also fun for me, though, but like I said, I’ve never dealt with a really small one ( 'cept for that one I got out of). > > At any rate, different strokes for different folks. Har har. 😃 You may be “deeper” than average. Most women only go a few inches in before they hit their own cervix - five or six maybe? I know I can touch mine with my middle finger. Take the average seven inch penis and pound against that and its a “nice full feeling.” Take the “above” average nine inch penis and it can be quite painful. Only done it once myself. But from locker room talk with my girlfriends (yep, we do it too guys) it seems to be common (I do have some uncommonly short girlfriends - being one of the “tall” ones at 5’6"). I believe it is the kama sutra that recommends that mates be chosen with the relative size of their anatomy in mind. ---

Um, big isn’t just length but there’s girth too. Yes, a footer is half wasted. From what the girls in my wife’s sewing circle would say, though, girth is where the fun is. e3 ---

I’m not entirely clear on what my choices are. Are they: 1. A man with a great body and an average-sized penis and 2. A man with an average body and a humongous penis? Because I’m going to pick #1 in that case. But I’m not sure what you were going for. I’d even take great body and smallish penis. And I get to decide what a great body is. ---

I can touch my cervix too. And I’m very small built, so it’s not like I’m some cavern down there. I just prefer a larger guy. It’s never been a problem for me. ---

> [@](#): > > Guys, would you rather be hefty/skinny and well-endowed, or have a great, six pack stomach, muscular body - either/or The latter. What I really want is to be/remain skinny and narrow-framed with a tight stomach (like I used to have), well-formed but compact muscles (no big bulky shoulders or pecs or biceps, ugh) and ‘endowed’ with average equipment. ---

I think I would go with the body. I mean, besides making porn what else is a huge dong going to do for you? It’s gotta be easier to deal with a small pee-pee, than it would be to do all that exercise and crap it takes to have that kind of body. So I’d take the awesome body & small to average equipment, than skinny/overweight with a third leg. YMMV. ---

> [@Dangerosa](#): > > the average seven inch penis Uh, cite? 6" is the average. Just clarifying that because it’s important to some guys, and to them, every inch counts. (Not to me, of course. Personally, I’ve never been all that concerned that Grundito isn’t _mas grande_, but it does bug me whenever I get fat. So I guess I’d pick “great body.”) ---

My Guy has a very lean, tight body - which turns me on immensely. He’s also extremely well-endowed - to which I’m totally indifferent. He says that before we got together, most people (both M and F) just wanted to have sex with his dick, and they ignored the man behind it. One of the things he likes about me is that I’d love him just as much if he were small. ---

So I guess I’d pick “great body.”) You know why women make bad fishermen…because we spent our life being told this ------------------------------ was seven inches. Naw, couldn’t remember and pulled the number out of my head…six, seven, someplace bigger than a gerkin and smaller than a shampoo bottle. ---
