This isn't another 'does size matter' question. I'm asking the ladies how many of your boyfriends and husbands have had penis size insecurity, and how many didn't. Also, to the guys, have you had or do you have, insecurity about your size?

I only know of one poll that compared penis size to number of women the guys had had sex with, and guys with bigger penises showed a 2 to 1 ratio of more women. Of course that was only a general overview, as there are going to be some small and average size guys that have had sex with more women than some big guys. It involved over 3100 guys polled. I think that indicates a correlation between confidence and penis size (not to mention size queens who seek out the well known hung guys, which would also influence the ratio a bit) does exist. No surprise though.

And about some saying some guys with 5" and 6" lengths, and average girths, as being completely confident, well, I find it hard to believe that those same guys would not rather be bigger. It's not anywhere near a priority to them, but to say that 'confident' guys would not choose to be at least 7"L x 6"G instead of 5.5"L x 5"G is not being completely realistic about this. They just don't go around thinking about it.

Not to butt into your conversation with cease, but in spite of what polls may indicate, I hardly think one should equate making love with sport such as fishing or hunting.
Have you ever given any thought to the possibility that the true prize isn't in the number of "scores", but rather in the quality one produces that "scores" that special SO and keeps him or her as their "number one" exclusive of all others?
I have little faith in any poll that doesn't require documentation by the participants and nor should anybody else if they don't wish to chance being deceived.

While that is true, I still think that he's got an interesting point. IIRC - being a young adult and all - I quite firmly believe that penis size could be a significant factor in a young man's confidence with women. While numbers may or may not hold any real significance for the quality of one's sexual relationships, it's still an interesting point that he's made.

Point taken. But what value is success if it is scored with numerous one night stands?

As I said, the number of ONS may not matter much in the real world of relationships and sex, but relating it back to the original question about insecurity; I think that a young man with a large penis could feel confident, that would lead to "security", that would lead to confidence in dealing with women, that could in many cases lead to larger numbers of "notches" on the belt. I don't think that it's until later in life that most men become more secure and knowledgeable about their sexuality and penis size. I believe that most men are insecure to a greater or lesser degree during young adulthood and the knowledge that you have a "large" penis would increase confidence. Whether or not that confidence is based in reality of the whole situation of penis-size debate is irrelevant.

The young adult has a large penis, that's one less major thing to worry about when dealing with women, we have more confidence....

Oh, come on! Many short guys wish they were taller, but I'm sure there are also many short guys who are perfectly happy being short. There are bald guys who wish they had hair, and there are bald guys who could care less. There are many people who aren't thrilled with what genetics has given them, but they aren't obsessed about it.

I think that MOST men are very happy with their penis, they're thankful it works, and they're thankful that most women don't judge them by THAT!

Women who are unhappy with their boobs can have them made bigger if they have $10,000.00 they don't know what to do with. Men can't do that......at least men with any sense. what a waste of time and energy worrying about something that you can't change.

As far as "polls" are concerned, particularly when it comes to sexual prowess, I'm sure that most guys will exaggerate their answers, too. Just as many men exaggerate their size!

I have to stop assuming that people must know what I'm thinking... ;-)

Retaliate for all of the "looseness" comments, of course. And add to that all of the breast size, weight and overall look comments. The penis size comments are most likely just the "Revenge of the Judged" I do not think that they pack any real merit. Why not hit them where it hurts....or below the belt? ;-)

retaliation!?!?!?!

hahaha wow you're not the first female to say that but two wrongs don't make a right. One may thing this retaliation would doing something good but all it would do is cause more negativity. What makes you think that all the guys that hit below the belt on women about all the things they say are not in retaliation as well???

Funny on a sex talk show where i live they usually get a bunch of guys and girls to talk about various sex topics and it's only the girls that make comment about guy’s bodies on it. Which leads me back to my point, that penis size isn't an issue crated by guys it's created by both genders
