Women do like a bigger penis. They will rarely admit to this, because they often want to come across as being less shallow than they really are. This is in contrast to men, who have no problem coming across as shallow. With that said, I’ve found that women prefer a thicker penis as opposed to a longer penis. A feeling of being filled is preferable to a feeling of being poked. However, with that said, a small, underwhelming penis is just disappointing regardless of whatever else the guy does. If by a fluke such a guy got a woman in bed once, he’s never going to get another chance again. If he’s lucky, the woman will be able to stifle her giggles until she gets him out the door, whereupon she will call all her friends and discuss the entire fiasco in excrutiating detail. ---

If by a fluke such a guy got a woman in bed once, he’s never going to get another chance again. So a man with a small penis will never be in a long-term sexual relationship, period? is that what you’re saying. That seems to be simple enough to disprove with anecdotal evidence. What about Lesbians? Not all (though, surely, some) use Dildos and/or strapons in their sexual adventures. So do these women call and giggle about the fact that her bed-mate didn’t have a penis, and therefore was underwhelming sexually? I would imagine that there is some truth to what you’re saying with SOME women. SOME women probably DO prefer a big thick dork of a dick. Some women have little to no interest in penetration, it’s emotional value aside, and are simply only turned on by clitoral stimulation, and for those women, no ammount of huge Lexington Steele style fucking is gonna make up for a guy who likes to go down. Blanket statements about what ALL of ANY group want is ridiculous and can be thrown out as little more than the result of playground/lockroom rumors. In conclusion, I would have to request a cite.

This is in contrast to men, who have no problem coming across as shallow. This may be true, but long before they find out how big it is (how big it does or does not _get_, I should say), a couple zillion other factors have been the primary determinants of whether or not they developed an interest in doing sex with the guy. > [@](#): > > If by a fluke such a guy [w/ small penis] got a woman in bed once, he’s never going to get another chance again. If he’s lucky, the woman will be able to stifle her giggles until she gets him out the door, whereupon she will call all her friends and discuss the entire fiasco in excrutiating detail. I guess that’s possible, I never really thought about it that way. That would only be true for the guys who are really and sincerely _too small_ though, as opposed to merely being smaller than average and whatnot. And even then I bet what you’re saying applies to only some women. I bet there are many women who, if it should turn out that the guy they’ve developed an interest in scarcely even has one, would find that a disappointment but not a dealbreaker. Just like there are women who would be disappointed if their new guy were to turn out to dislike long drawn-out finger-teasing and other tactile foreplay, but who would not ditch the guy for that shortcoming alone. I dunno. It doesn’t seem to have been a factor one way or the other in my encounters and relationships. That could be because I’m adequate (I’m guessing I’m probably about average) or it could be because it just doesn’t matter all that much. I wouldn’t know. As I said, I don’t spend much time concerning myself with it. ---

My penis is now 15 metres long. **AndrewT** and **flapcats** - the pair of you caused me to unleash a burst of explsoive laughter right here in the office, thus resulting in a coworker coming over and seeing a thread about penis enlargment. I’m holding you personally responsible for any loss of earnings I may suffer as a result of this. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-with-all-these-enlarge-your-penis-ads-etc/193967.md?page=1)
