…men seem to worry about penis size but women don’t worry about vagina length? Or tightness? Or…?
Is it because a penis is visible but the inside of a vagina is not (usually)?
Personally, I have on occasion found a woman whose vagina was so loose that it, shall we say, required “special action.” But hey, the old traditional in-and-out isn’t the only way to enjoy each other, so you won’t catch me complaining.
But I can’t resist telling an old story from my army days. “So you went to Hong Kong for R & R? Did you see Susie Wong?”
“Damn right.”
“Is she still a virgin?”
“Well, she said she was, but I dunno.”
“What made you doubt it?”
“The board I had to put across to keep from falling in.”
Because women are far too busy worrying about the size of their breasts, and whether their butts look big, and whether there’s cellulite on their thighs to fuss about stuff nobody sees, silly.
No, really, we don’t worry about vagina size because it’s not traditionally something we’re taught is a big deal. (This is in Western cultures, mind you, cultures who practice female circumcision and infibulation see vaginal tightness as a very big deal.) Men worry about penis size because there’s an undercurrent in our culture that a dick defines you as a man; thus the less dick you’ve got, the less of a man you must be. Women don’t get that sort of stuff about our vaginas. A vagina is the defining characteristic of being female, but it doesn’t define our womanhood. Nobody I’ve ever heard of feels like more or less of a woman because of the length, circumference, or muscle tone of her vagina.
Boobs, though, those are a different story. You hear a lot of flat-chested woman saying they don’t really feel like women, that they feel like boys. You hear a lot about mastectomy patients not feeling like “real” women. Maybe it’s because they’re the most visible aspect of our femaleness, I don’t know. At any rate, the upshot is that women worry about the size of their breasts in pretty much the same way men worry about the size of their penii.
I’m a small breast man (note, I did not say I was a small breasted man…though on afterthought I suppose that is probably a good thing too). ‘B’ cups are ideal, in my mind. Big ones just don’t do much for me. Sure, they’re impressive to look at, but in my mind, they tend to just get in the way. Plus, I’ve found that smaller breasted women tend to have more sensitive nippes (though, of course, YMMV).
I wonder if there’s any women that say, “Y’know, I’m really more into small penises. The big ones just don’t do it for. Sure, they’re impressive to look at…” etc.
Yeah, back before I met Mrs. Montoya I was known for almost breaking a dry spell but then backing out at the last minute because she was too big. This happend pretty frequently.
NOT! C’mon, if a guy is close enough to the goal to be able to gauge the size of the hole, he ain’t gonna care if he could crawl inside the damned thing and find Jimmy Hoffa waiting for him. Any port in a storm and all that…
Women, on the other hand…well, we all know they want 9 inches of meat the size of their forearms. That’s just a given.
I know you’re being cute and all, but there’s a serious distinction to be made here. There’s a difference between being dissatisfied with something and feeling like less of a woman because of it. Women are often unhappy with the size of their butts, the firmness of their thighs, the shape of their faces, and seek to change them via various routes, but they don’t feel less like women because of it. Near as I can tell, women seek laser tightening for increased sexual pleasure, not so they can feel like “real” women.
Awww… You should’ve used the parking ramp thing, too! I loved that bit. I hope he doesn’t get voted off next week.
I don’t worry too much about the size of my vagina. I don’t worry too much about penis size though either. Not that I have a penis (I don’t, I swear), but I don’t worry about the size of anyone’s penis too much.
Oh, yes, and Inigo’s brought up the other point I meant to mention about women thinking vaginal size is no big deal. Men are taught that women care about penis size, that we care a whole lot, and that they’ll be seen as inadequate if they don’t measure up. Women, otoh, learn that the fact that the vagina is there and accessible is quite enough. When we’re forming our ideas about sexuality, as teens and young adults, we have partners who are horny quite a lot of the time, no matter what we do. All we really have to do to be incredibly desirable is to show up, and all we really have to do to be the best. lay. ever. is to say yes. The physical characteristics of the vagina are way, way less important than the fact that they get to play with it.
(Of course, these “I could phone it in and still be hot stuff” notions tend to set us up for quite a paradigm shift as the guys start to slow down and we start to hear, “Not now, honey, I’m watching the game,” but that’s a whole other thread.)
Obviously you have not seen my forearms. Gets out ruler, but not to measure forearms I don’t want appendages the length of my feet anywhere near my coochie.
While I agree that women learn accessibility is enough, there is a huge difference between “best. lay. ever.” and “better than jacking off”. Putting out doesn’t automatically make a woman a goddess. Sometimes, and I stress sometimes, it just makes her a convenient receptacle.
For one-night stands, sure. But for a continuing relationship, it is nice if the feeling you get is unambiguious. It works both ways: “Honey, you in?” “I don’t know. Am I?”
Take it from experience. An older woman who has never had kids or had them all by C-section is a lot tighter than a younger one with two kids, believe me. Give me a vagina and I’ll tell you how many kids have passed through.
Again, I’m just observing, not complaining. As you said, any port in a storm. “Helllooo, anybody in there?”
I, personally, am too busy worrying about the size of my breasts, waist, hips, ass, thighs, nose, lips, feet, and hair. I really have no self image left to lose on the size of my vagina.
But thanks, should I manage to come to terms with any of the aforementioned body parts, I now have a queue.
Because (and I am amazed that I have never read or heard this from anyone else before) men believe that a larger penis will mean more pleasure for them.
A husband and wife are laying in bed one morning discussing the dreams they had the previous night. The wife tells her husband that she dreamt of visiting a penis convention.
“There were stands of all sizes,” she said, “Small, Average, Large, Extra Large…”
“Was I there?” the husband asked.
“Was you there?” replied the wife, “Why you were the biggest penis there!”
Next the husband tells his wife about his dream of visiting a vagina convention.
“They had all sorts of sizes,” he said, “Wide, Average, Tight, Super Tight…”
“Was I there?” asked the wife.
“Was you there?” replied the husband, “We held the damn thing inside you!”
I don’t think it’s safe to make a blanket statement that no one has felt less womanly because of “size” issues. I think you have to delve a little deeper (yeah yeah) but size can make mutual satisfaction a little less… guaranteed, if you will. And there is nothing I know of that can do the same kind of damage to a woman’s sexual esteem as the inability (or difficulty) to get a man off. As has been said, women are led to believe that just having the thing is all it takes. So when you realize suddenly that that’s not true, and you’re fairly certain it’s not because of his shortcomings, that can be a devastating blow.
I’ve known two women who were seriously consider tightening procedures. Neither was doing it for themselves, but for their husbands.
But if the woman becomes fully aroused, her mucous membrane will become engorged with blood, causing the vaginal walls to constrict around the penis. Just because she’s lubricated doesn’t mean she’s fully aroused.
Even the most ignorant guy can understand this concept: he knows that he doesn’t have the same size erection every single time - many contributing factors result in a noticable variety in tumescence and ejaculation. Similar factors apply to the female. These can include one’s overall health, one’s psychological state, and, not more important than any other factor but certainly not to be dismissed, one’s partner’s technique.
