- I ment to post this weeks ago but forgot untill a recent thread reminded me of this subject\* So the other day I went to the movies with a gackle of female friends of mine. This particular movie theater we went to also had an Imax theater as well. (For those of you who don’t know what Imax is; it’s basically a theater that is around four times the size of a normal theater screen. Usually they show shorts on this venue like nature documentries, space or what not.) We get to the theater and discover they have a special deal in which you can buy one Imax movie along with a regular movie of your choice at a bargain price. We opt for this. We go into the Imax theater and watch some documentry about the “Green Planet” of some shit like that. The whole time I’m REALLY enjoying myself taking in the visual experience. So anyway, The Imax movie ends, we then start to migrate towards the other end of the theater as our regular movie is about to start. The conversation on the way there is how great this movie is supposed to be… We finally get to our regular movie; I walk through the doors and the first thing I notice is the _size_ of the screen. I excaimed to myself out loud (said in a whiney voice): “Ah man, Look at the size of that screen…” Because by comparison to the last one, it seemed so small. And that’s it. That’s when it hit me. This MUST be how women feel about penis size. I mean, it’s like me with the movie. I know it’s going to be a good movie and I know I’m going to enjoy myself watching it. But DAMN! It would be SO much more enjoyable if the screen were just a ‘lil’ bit bigger. ---

It’s MEN that are obsessed with penis size. Within a wide range of sizes, women couldn’t care less. So says this woman, anyway. ---

I know that I won’t be able to get it up for at least a week or two now. Thanks, SHAKES. BTW; Is there some Freudian implication to the all caps there? 😉 mangeorge ---

It’s been said a million times before: men are a lot more interested in penis size than women are. And in penises in general. ---

The bigger the better (to a point). Granted, how they work it plays a part, but size makes a huge, huge, huge difference (no pun intended). Go ahead, tell me I’m wrong and how small penises rule. 😛 ---
