Ladies what has been your experience? Guys feel free to chime in as well.

I'm dating a guy that's my height and kind of wonder what to expect when I get his pants off. Common sense would dictate this is a guess as best, but would like to hear experiences still.

Your opinion is incorrect. At a forum I'm a member of over 1300 members have participated in a poll submitting their height and penis length and there is a correlation between height and penis length. Of course from guy to guy it's not a definite, as guys of any height can have long ones and short ones. The correlation is that taller guys more often have the longer ones. I'll present the chart if anyone is interested. The correlation is strongest with length. The correlation with girth is weaker.

Problem is, with a poll, anyone can CLAIM anything ... they can submit whatever they want. Its by no means a scientific or reliable source.

For the most part, I think most guys are just average ... regardless of height ... just like most women's breasts (naturally) are average (B, C cup) ... regardless of height.

There are always going to be "exceptions to the rule" ... a short guy with a really large penis or a tall guy with a small one ... but, in a my experience, penis size is irrelevant to height. My last BF was umm, very well endowed, and he was 5'9. My college BF was 6'4 ... and he was on the smaller side. Otherwise, most of my BFs have been average, or as I like to say "just right" (IMO, too big can be a little uncomfortable).

Skinny guys tend to have less fatpad and that could help explain your experience (other than luck of the draw also being involved). The more fatpad a guy has the more penis that is hidden behind the fatpad, and therefore less penis is visable. For instance, a skinny guy might only have a 1/4" fatpad (btw, the average fatpad is about 1"). If he has a 6" penis then he would have 5 3/4" showing as 1/4" of it is hidden inside the fatpad.

Now let's consider a guy who is overweight. He could also have a 6" penis, but if his fatpad is 1 1/2" that leaves 4 1/2" of penis showing. In reality his penis is not shorter than the skinny guy mentioned, but visably the overweight guy's penis appears to be shorter. The fatpad has some compression, so it is possible for him to get more than 4 1/2" into her during intercouse, but the fatpad will interfere to some degree and the entire 6" will not make it in.

So that could have had an effect on your perception of who has the longer penis.

The forum I'm a member of takes measurements very seriously. The members are serious about this stuff. We know how to measure to the nth degree and it's important in order to accurately track our results. The correlation distribution curve line is well defined, hardly representative of hap hazard lying. Sure, from individual to individual anything is possible. That is why your limited experience indicates otherwise. A correlation does not mean it's an absolute. The correlation in this case is moderate to strong, but of course it's not an absolute.

I don't think length matters anyway. Most women would rather have a thick penis inside them rather than a long skinny one. My last lover was thin and it wasn't that satisfying to me.

Who did the measuring? I don't care what poll it was.....to get an "average" it takes numbers from the smallest to the largest. Unless the "forum" is a branch of the "skyscrapers" club, then the men were of varying heights. If there were 1300 measurments, that means that mathematically, 433 of them would have been below average, 433 would be average, and 433 would be large. So, the chances of a tall man having a larger than average penis would be about 1 out of three.

If he's of average height, I think it's going to be pretty random. My small sample of men (7) ranged from 5'9" - 6'1". The smallest penis was 5", the guy was about 6' tall, the longest penis (8.5") was on a guy who is "only" 5'10". All the other men were between 5"-6.75".

Hey...let us know how big the present is when you unwrap it! :)

You're 100% absolutely, not doubt about it, Incorrect.

Sorry to say it like that, but you are. It's been studied up and down, left right and and side to side by credible people.
