Don't be too serious with this folks It's a fun poll...

First let's baseline - most experts agree that an average human male's erect penis length is between 6.2 to 6.4 inches long, and approximately 5.0 inches in circumference (that's 161 mm and 127 mm respectively for metric users).

After a discussion with my significant other a comment was made that "average" is best, and while that was flattering and though it was a "nice" thing to say at the time, I thought it wasn't totally honest. I would suggest that most men, no matter their size would gladly be larger - in fact, many would sell their souls to have to roll it up or be forced to strap it to their legs. Women on the other hand, as the cliché goes - says size doesn't matter but my argument is this:

Biologically (of which I know little about Biology), men and women are attracted to each other by a set of genetic universal virtues. We are attracted to each other not only chemically but by symmetry of their faces, locations of eyes, nose, mouth, teeth. Length of necks, bust sizes, shapes of our butts, women's hips (larger for child rearing). Women are attracted to men who have broad shoulders, strong necks, chiselled facial features, muscular and athletic for not only protection but for their ability to hunt/fish/provide.

Granted, modern society/culture has skewed these ingrained traits, however I say these things are still there and as we see in animals for example; the largest elk with the biggest rack of antlers wins the right to mate. This is the same in humans and I say the large well developed man, with the largest penis in this case, will win the most women and the right to mate more often. Granted we humans are by and large monogamous - this has caused women to adopt and believe that "average is good" and while physically too large of a penis can be painful, and too small not enjoyable... there is an average range between 5.5 and 7.5 that seems to be the sweet spot.


Cut to the chase section:

So here it is...

Is average honestly right where women want their men? Men, given the choice (hypothetically) is average just right or if there was a sure-fire guaranteed option, or wouldn't you like another bit? And yes, this is always a "man" thing - so obsessed with size and doubt of our performance or abilities, but what man hasn't had at some point in their life doubts? Women have self confidence problems about everything - can't men have just one self confidence issue?

size does matter, sorry, but average is just fine. i didn't know men were obsessed with this.......
 
Average is fine. The extremes, on either end, bother me. Slightly larger than average is perfect. But, only slightly. It is definitely possible to get too much of a good thing.

I wouldn't say obsessed (although I see I did)... but I see it like there's a little George Costanza in every man who is always worried someone will see them naked after the cold dip in the ocean. :lol:

From what I've gathered from women (of who I was not sleeping with so had no running interest in them lying to me)...

Generally, if you're average there's few that are going to be upset by that.

Your next subset is going to be those that physically want a certain size, be it smaller or larger, to properly feel pleasure. I've known a girl that had a reputation for looking for short thin ones because even average ones were painful. I've known another girl that needed 8"+ inches to be able to climax during sex. I've known one girl (this one did end up being a girlfriend) that didn't care if it was 4" or 8" but just wanted it thick. Generally its size because of a physical reason of how/what they need to get off.

I think those that want only the biggest just for the sake of having it big are probably the smallest amount.

And the tired cliche of you have to know what you're doing with it is true to an extent. There was a guy in college that was reputed to have a rather sizable endowement but couldn't last and was extremely greedy (best way i could describe it) with regards to things, so while he generally got laid a bunch he also didn't get many repeats.

As far as guys go and how we'd feel. I'd imagine you'd be correct with the notion that many males, if you told them they could gain a bit without question, would. I think much the same that if you asked most women if they could gain a bit of bust or lose a bit of waist without any negative side affects many would. why? Cause its just the societal stereotype.

This is extremely true. I've been with guys who were smaller than average who were better in bed than guys who were larger. I'd definitely prefer skills over size, any day. A guy with skills can choose positions that make his penis penetrate more, and feel larger. A guy with no skills? Especially bad if he's too big, because he's likely to hurt me.

I agree with this. Though I'd say girth is more important than length.

I did date someone a while back who was enormous. When it came to that stage of getting intimate, I was in complete shock when I first saw it. I had to stop it right there and then because I had a fear of being split in half. :lol:
 
Well, as in my own case, and think a penis the size of a Baby's arm, holding a baseball is just about right. I get no complaints. :mrgreen:
 
I have never measured my penis or done any research or whatever to find out what the average is and how I compare. I must be one of few according to most people I have this conversation with, which isn't many, but I'm sure they are lying.
 
Size DOES matter, but only in extremes. If a woman tells you that size doesn't matter then she's either lying, doesn't get off at all during intercourse, or it just doesn't take anything to get her off during intercourse.

For most women, size DOES matter. But not the way you guys think it does. Women come in different shapes and sizes too, not to mention different requirements to get off.

For some women, average size will be too big. For some, it will be too small.

If a man is smaller than average, I'm not likely going to even really feel him inside me. So there's no way I can say that size doesn't matter. That would be an outright lie. And yes, I've experienced the ole, "Is it in yet?"

If a man is larger than average, that will likely work out well *for me*. I happen to require deep penetration to get off during intercourse. However, I don't require intercourse to get off. Most men are average, of course. So I'm quite aware that most men are not going to be physically capable of hitting the spot I need hitting. But as long as he's willing and able to do something ELSE to get me off... then the ole 'it doesn't matter' does come into play. And, as long as he's average, (and has any amount of skill whatsoever) I can still very much enjoy intercourse. I'm just not going to climax.

If a guy is much larger than average, that can be a real issue. I've experienced that as well. It really pretty much sucks. It just plain hurts like a mofo and there's not much enjoyment to be had. Not for me, and not for him much either since he's going to have to hold back on his thrusts to keep me from being in agony. I've actually had to stop a guy before because I just couldn't take the pain any longer. I can see all of you guys nodding your head and thinking, "Oh YEAH... that's what I want! A dick so big it makes them scream in pain!" But seriously? You actually want a dick so big that no one wants or enjoys having sex with you? What would be the point?

I've also had a guy who was HUGE in girth. I **** you not, when I grabbed a hold of it, I thought I had something the size of a soda can. We never hooked up again.

So in short, it's really only the extremes that matter. And, even if you do come up a little short for your particular partner, as long as you're willing to explore other ways to get her off, it's probably not going to matter too much to her.
 
I've actually heard a lot of women say this, which kind of surprised me at first.

Yeah, it's not true for me. A balance of both is better. More girth minus the length isn't going to do **** for me. More length minus any girth isn't likely to do much either.

My needs are really specific. A guy's penis can't be much longer than 6" or he's going to penetrate too deep and hurt me. But, if he's smaller than 5", he's not going to hit "the spot." If he isn't thick enough, it's not going to be that great for me, but if he's too thick, he isn't going to fit. I'm smallish.

And the spot is weird. My ex-husband never hit it in 12 years, my current boyfriend has THE PERFECT PENIS and hits it every time.

He's not exceptionally large, but he's just right...for me. But it's all about having a specific shape & tilt.

I think he thinks I'm just blowing smoke up his ass when I tell him that he has a perfect penis, but I really mean it. :D

LOL Well, that's something guys don't get. It's like puzzle pieces. Some fit perfectly, others not so much. Men come in all shapes and sizes, and needs. Women do to. Sometimes the parts don't match too well, sometimes they match up perfectly.

No, that's not what I said at all. I said I require deep penetration (touching my cervix) to get off during intercourse. The average guy isn't going to be able to do that. That's not anything at all like "throwing a hotdog down a hallway", though. The hotdog down the hallway implies that I require huge girth, and that's not the case at all.
 
Where's the option "I am male and happy with what I have"?

For most women, bigger is better. The average erect penis size for an adult male is 5.3 inches. If you have 7 inches or more, than you are in the top 10%, 8 inches or more and you are in the top 5%. Over 8 inches and you are in the top .1% of adult men.
