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.

Been, it really doesn't matter what it is. The fact is, is that *IT* is. Whether it's breasts, ass, or thighs, lips, youth, or whatnot, it seems that "men" have no qualms about "voicing" their requirements "out loud." All I was arguing is that it's understandable that it may have an effect on women's insecurities (which we are seeing the result of through cosmetic surgery) -- since you yourself (and whomever else) have stated that the small amount of women who make it known that "penis size matters" has had a great affect on men, then you can see how when the majority of men make it known that (insert whatever body-part ) matters, it's is understandable why it is a more prevalent issue among women, and always has been.

I just thought it was a good opportunity to point out the irony of it all.... and

....maybe through that we can empathize with the opposite sex...and as a result induce compassion. ;-)

Also, I was just mainly referring to big breasts, thick butts, and thick thighs in my post. About average breasts, they do seem to have a good size fan base amongst black guys, and slim thighs with smallish butts and just bit of bubble seem to have a very strong fan base amongst white guys. I have my thoughts about why preferences differ in general between white and black guys, but it would be considered offensive I think, and I doubt anyone would agree with me anyway.

Well of course, now I would like to know what those thoughts are.

thethinker,

I will respond to your earlier post about breast size. You said most men are "happy" with any size within a range from small to large. I agree with you, however, my post about breast size preferences is more in dealing with their top choice. You used the word happy, but I think the word happily content is a more accurate to describe what you were saying. Guys love breasts, period. So, yes you are correct in a sense. And some guys prefer average size breasts. It's like this---Even if there were/are as many guys that prefer average size breasts that prefer large ones, it's the big ones that get raved about with exclamtion marks in their voice. See, I noticed a long time ago that big dicks got the exclams, but I never heard an exclam about an average size dick. If a guy had an average size and she chose to brag out loud about his performane in bed, it pertained to his technique. But if a chick bragged about a guy with a big dick it was about his big dick. I never heard, "OMG his dick was so average!!" I did here "OMG his dick was so big" and then the chicks get big eyed and more interested in him. So I think some women feel the same way about their average breasts. They know guys love breasts of any size. Guys love breasts, period, and women know it. Yet some women not only may notice the big breasts get the "OMG!!", but that average breasts don't usually recieve that exclam. So they think "hmm, average breasts nice, large breasts nicer". Average dick good, bigger dick better.

rain, I wouldnt say most men prefer big breasts. They are just happy to see them in person..lol
Maybe I should have said younger and inexperienced men have a big breast fetish. More mature men know that "parts" dont really matter, its the whole person...My ex had a+ b- boobs and I could have cared less.. My now wife has larger c. Still doesnt matter. In the locker rooms all thru high school and then in college sports I heard all the BS about big boobs, and the guys were pretty childish about it really, like kids.You think all women prefer a large penis?.. same difference.

I have to disagree in part. While I do agree that while the physical aspects do step aside so as to increase meaningful mind contact, preferences remain on some level. If a woman prefers tall guys when she's 20, she probably will when she's 50. However, at 50 tallness will not play nearly as much a part in her attraction towards a guy. Peoples physical preferences remain intact, just diminished in importance. While someone with Serena William's body build is very attractive to me, I find intelligence more attractive. On this forum feeling physical attractiveness is often put as being superficial, and almost equated to being like a caveman - and yes, that can apply, but really, it often doesn't. I very easily made excellent grades in school, am a strong chessplayer that has beaten some top rated chessplayers , and I have spent much time in my life reading many books on subjects. Most people wouldn't consider me dumb. I'm not bragging btw, just attempting to make a point. To this day I find certain physical aspects attractive. According to this forum I need to evolve more for feeling that way. Sure, I realise the physical isn't important like a mind connection. I love playing chess, so that should perhaps indicate I'm very much into mind power. I really feel out of place here.

Been , heres my point... I have been with several women in my life time...Most of the women I "knew" were athletic, just because I was and we had that in common.(not all were, most)Honestly I have seen beautiful bodies with both small medium and large breasts.. I would classify all of them as beautiful. How could I say this one was more beautiful because she had the biggest boobs? I remember a gal who got around so to speak..She was lousey in bed, unenthusiastic in bed, her boobs got in the way, and she was a one position woman. A couple of the other women , with smaller boobs were awesome in bed in every way.. But guess what, the immature guys I saw on a daily basis who had also been with her sexually could only talk about how fine she was with her big boobs. It was sooo stupid in my opinion. She was nothing compared to the others, but these guys were fixated on her chest.....I see guys like this all the time.. I remember a study done by some students of psychology at a major university... They were asking men if they were eye men, boob men. leg men, butt men. There were a host of other questions that measure mental maturity... By in large men who were "breast" men were way higher on the immature list.

Ok, you got my curiousity up with last portion of your post. You said breasts men showed up as more immature. Are you saying butt men, or leg men, etc, were more mature on the test? I'm not making a judgement as to whether that would make any sense or not, as this is a new test to me. I'm merely trying to clarify what the test results were. Then I'll study it, lol.

yes leg men ranked highest on the maturity list followed by butt men. What the parameters were , I`m not sure, but it was a legit study and was in the magazines several years ago.

Same difference? You lost me. Do I think that all women prefer a large penis? I think my point was....that even if they did, no one would know it...especially men. ;-) Generally speaking, women know what it feels like to be scruitinized by the opposite sex with respect to physical attributes (particuarly those that cannot be changed - and yes, that includes breast size) so we possess a lot of empathy on the topic. Probably explains why we are generally very forgiving of men's flaws.

You have to see it from a woman's point though....imagine if MOST women from the time of puberty (and maybe even prior) thought nothing at all of acting obsessed about large/girthy penises? That every thing was "penis-size-central?" Certainly it would have at least some effect on some men's insecurities. That's all I was trying to convey.

What you're trying to do is "unbrainwash" women into believing that everything they heard all of their lives was not the truth. Their lives may depend on it. And now, the tables have turned and it's pointed at the penis.....what lies beneath, only time will tell.....I shudder at the thought of 17 year old boys going under the knife because they believe that size matters.... :-(
