How can you tell penis size?

Hi all,
New to the board and have a question for girls - how can you tell the size of your BF/DH penis whether it is 5 or 6 inches or whatever? I have seen just a few myself and I can't really tell exact measurements. I have been reading on some posts here where girls talk about those specific inches about their BF's penis. Do girls measure them or is it just their best estimates?

Thanks.

Why do you want to know his size?

Thank you all for those replies..real interesting as I thought it would be!! I don't care for size either. Current BF is 'average' and knows how to use it!! Can't wait for another

I know that you were asking the ladies this question but I'll toss in my 2 cents worth anyway. Some of these replies make it seem as if your question is strange and women have no interest in knowing. It isn't a strange question. It's just natural curiousity and part of being in a relationship. If you want to know the answer -

a: Ask your boyfriend. I think most guys would tell you.

b: Ask to measure him. He'd probably be happy to let you.

If a girlfriend asked either one of me I wouldn't have a problem with it.

Well....for me, I have an "engineer's" brain. Ever since I was very young, I have always worked with measurements. My grandmother was a "Jack of all Trades" and used to take care of the house, and I always helped her "measure" everything. I also used to sew. It's funny how you just "apply" it to everything in life. Whenever I see something, I apply a number to it! It has nothing to do with caring how long/wide/deep something is, it's just a reaction - an observation.

The funny thing was, when I was with my first boyfriend I was so young and naive. I had never seen any other penises(the only porn I had seen was Playboy and the likes). I just assumed that all penises were the same size. My friends and I, as much as we talked about our sexual experiences back then, never discussed penis size. As I aged and matured though, I naturally stopped discussing any sexually detailed conversations with my friends - I always felt it was a private thing and disprespectful to my partner. I wasn't alone in my thinking either, because I know nothing about my friends' partners' penises.

Do most men discuss women's genitals amongst them? Y'all have me curious now... ;-) If so, this could, perhaps, be why men are so "worried" that women discuss their penises?? I'd like to know guys....

But anyhow, I couldn't care less what size a man's penis is; the only reason I even mention size, is in the context of the discussion on these boards(which vary). I'm a fairly good judge of the size of things, but I'm not "measuring" for a reason, it's just observation, plain and simple...."That person has big eyes." "She has large lips." "That penis is about 10", I wonder if it will fit or hurt?" ;-)

>>Do most men discuss women's genitals amongst them?<<
Rarely, if at all would be my answer to that. I never discuss details with any of my male friends. Just doesn't happen. Having said that, I'm sure that there are many guys out there that do get quite umm,... specific.

>>the only reason I even mention size, is in the context of the discussion on these boards<<
Yep. The ol' penis size debate rages on and on on these boards. There's not a week that goes by without a new and fresh discussion about it. I think that the problem is that men, competitive little darlings that they are, need to know to the exact millimetre. Women, however, can't feel much difference between something 5" long and something 7" long and given that the vast majority of penises fall between those two extremes then it's really not a "big" issue for them.

Hi sweetcherry2006:

A guy will probably know his penis measurement; ego gets involved.

I've never measured my dh, but he has measured himself. I think a lot of guys have.

Dakine~~~I'll come out and play. You made me laugh. First of all...
"""but if they go to a "fitter" they can find out"""
How can I get a job like that?? LOL

I agree that most men don't care about breast size. There are size queens of both genders, but in general.
I also agree that penis size is a serious guy hang up. I am one that wishes I had a larger one. I guess that's why I tend to think the way I do.
At 5.25 I know I'm "average". I look at basic vibes/dildos and I see that they are all bigger than myself. about an inch or two longer and a little bit thicker.
I'm fine with what I have, I know how to use it, just wish...LOL

Yeah, you're right I'm sure. It's just as I replied to Dakine...I'm one of the guys that wishes he had more. My GF says it's fine and I believe her. And she pointed out things that we can do with mine, that we/she couldn't do if it was much bigger. i.e. deep throat and anal...so it's all good. I just would like to be bigger, almost for appearance mostly. I don't feel I'm proportionally as big as most guys I've seen.
It is all in my head, but I just would like to, if I had the opportunity, be bigger.
