Average size of a man's penis..
| Tue, 08-10-2004 - 4:01pm |
I've been with only two guys and they both are about the same size. I've seen porn and, obviously, men like that are exaggerations of what the average male should be.
So what exactly is the average size of a man's penis? Also, what can he do (i.e. positions, toys) to make it more enjoyable if, say, he is not up to par?

If you care for a man, and he knows how to make love to a woman, it won't matter what his size is. The penis is only ONE of the tools that he has to make a woman happy.
The average penis size is going to vary from poll to poll to poll...
...and NO there's no way to determine the average between the polls either, LOL, because there's always going to be polls that we've missed anyway. ;)
I've seen the ol' 6" rule apply more often than not with questions like these. I'm not sure if you're asking this because, for some reason, you feel that the size you get to experience is/was not enough. What I DO remember reading and hearing is that size, as important as it is in itself, is not anywhere NEAR as important as how to use it.
There are just boatloads of techniques that make intercourse completely EXPLOSIVE when performed as instructed. When you ask "what can he do...to make it more enjoyable if...he is not up to par?" then I'm going to guess the "it" refers to intercourse.
Kama Sutra techniques are among the best I know of for this. Here's an article I've found thanks to cl-iv charm from the How to Have Hotter Sex message board:

My favorite is definitely the Bed Spread and then the Randy Rider. Sssssss...LOL! ;)
Reminding your man that concentrating thrusting angles for your G-spot has been a common piece of advice I've read many times too. Along with the great tips you'll still get from here, combine that knowledge with these boards as well:

Just repeating what g.t.b said. The average is around 6" and even if it's shorter it's not really going to make a heck of a lot of difference if it's used well, with skill and with care especially when you realise that most sensation is in the outer couple of inches of the vagina. I think that most women would agree that they'd rather have a good, considerate lover with a shorter penis than a beast with a baton.
Of course, a man's self-esteem is often closely linked to his perception of his penis size so penis size is a big deal to most men. Despite it not being a major factor in reality.
If you do crave something larger, introduce some sex toys and enjoy them. Then enjoy the distinct sensations that your man can provide too.
Well, not according to this...

There IS the "g" spot, and if that area is stimulated, there IS feeling THERE. There are also many women who get "pleasure" from intercourse, but it's an "emotional" pleasure rather than a physically induced pleasure.

I get these same responses more and more and I've come to the conclusion that women seem to want to be convinced that size doesn't matter because saying it did makes them shallow. It does not make you or anyone else shallow, it makes you comfortable with your opinion. Christy_la1 gets so much of my respect for being honest with her opinion without jamming the, "it really doesn't make a whole lot of difference to most of us." speech.
Less than 4" and greater than 9" are undesirable lengths; less than thumb and greater than soda can are undesirable girths for *most* of the women who I've seen posting here.
In other words, there is a difference. A little extreme, but there is one.
Extremely LARGE men can be painful. Extremely SMALL men can be ineffectual when it comes to intercourse. This is why it's said that "it's not what you've got, it's what you do with it". I was once with a man who was unbelievably small. About the "girth" of a finger, and probably no longer than 2-3 inches. It was pitiful! Unfortunately for him, he didn't seem to realize that there was more to "making love" than intercourse. Naturally, sex with him was like not having sex at all. But, if he'd had ANY idea of what foreplay was all about, it might have been a much better experience for me.
If that's ALL a woman looks for in a man, then she IS shallow. Just as shallow as a man who's hung up on breast size, and won't bother with a woman unless she's a 44DD!
Most of us meet, and become interested in a man before we know the size of his penis. If we learn to care about the man as a "person" rather than for the size of his equipment, then we will accept whatever size he is. But, in addition to that, the man has to know what it takes to please a woman, and for MOST women there's a lot more to it than intercourse. I was married for 20 years to a man who was probably somewhat larger than average. But the only thing he knew about sex was to use me for a "receptacle". There was NO foreplay, (at least not for ME), and when he was "ready" we just "did it", he rolled over and went to sleep. I was young, and dumb, and had no idea of what it was supposed to be like. I've grown up a LOT since then, and I would never put up with that again. I've been in a couple of relationships where the man was just average, nothing more, but they KNEW how to make love to a woman, and that was the key. They were just as interested in MY pleasure as they were in their own.
Yes, in some ways it would be nice to be with a man who's larger.....but only if he knows what he's doing, and only if he realizes that sex is for BOTH people to enjoy. Unfortunately, since MEN are "hung up" on size.....quite often the larger men depend on THAT to satisfy a woman, and it never will. Not a woman who knows what it is to be with a man who is a LOVER, rather than an egotist that thinks that all women should be thrilled with his size. Young and inexperienced women (and experience means a lot MORE than "numbers") have probably never been with a man who knows how to give a woman pleasure, so they THINK that size makes a difference. Talk to these same women in 20 years, and you'll probably get a different answer. (and the majority of the respondents here are YOUNG!)
Again, since most of us don't do an "inspection" before becoming involved with a man....if we learn to care for the man, when it comes to sex, we'll take whatever he has, and love it, as long as he knows ALL the ways to pleasure a woman. That is why an experienced "woman" (as opposed to a "young" woman) will say that it really doesn't matter, and it doesn't.
