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.

Yes, and supposedly it's a biological response (I didn't read your article, but I have read about it) just as it is for women to choose strong virile men who will not only produce the "fittest" but to assure that they survive. One could also argue that large breasts may incite a biological reaction as well as large penises.

Prior to technology, it was probably believed that the larger the breasts the more milk a woman could produce, and simililarly the larger the penis the more virile a man. But that's why I do not see how an affinity for one body part could be seen as more "mature" than any other. ;-) If *IT* produces a biological response in one individual equal to how it does another body part in another, how can one be mature and the other be immature?

This thread is taking on many turns, huh?

Oh was that article posted here? i posted about it because i didn't think it was

i am not against someone that says their requirement or preference. There isn't anything wrong with that...

what i am saying is that usually isn't the case when i see these threads here or in other sites and that it's not just a male thing and its not some male competitive sprit that someone here said. I have yet to meet/know a guy that's asking others to see if he is bigger then them or trying to look. It's more about a guy wanted to be liked for what he has...

When guys see comments like "i can't have anything less than 7 inches or else I won't get off" or various other comments supposed to think? Have you ever seen that infamous size survey site that basically says all women what large ones will lie to their man if isn't large?

as i said before about this so called revenge thing it will only make things worst. Believe me i have seen this happen on another site

I'll tll you what you're supposed to think: That those comments were made by ninny-witted fluffballs! Honestly, why would you care about what some stupid-ass woman said? There are many people in the world, and they all like something different. As I said before, there are probably scores of men who are shallow enough that they'd pass me over in favor of Hefty Helga next to me with the triple-H sized chest. SO WHAT??? Glad to be passed over, truthfully, when it comes to someone so myopic.

Really, any of you guys concerned over this have to be concerned because you think you don't have the biggest dick on the planet, and while there currently must be one man alive at any given time who has the biggest dick on the planet, the rest of you don't have it and should truly get over it. It's extremely vain and wasteful of your mind and your energy to be concerned over something like this. I have many flaws but they're part of me and I never wanted to be perfect. I could spend millions getting every spider vein zapped and dermabrasion etc. but really, the perfection ideal is highly overrated and real people like and love real people.

Don't you guys know, anyway, that the "satisfaction" stuff is pure B.S. if we're speaking physiologically? Women have orgasm through intercourse because of a man's pubic bone pressing against her, not because of what the tip of his penis is doing way up where there really aren't any nerves. I thought everyone pretty much knew that.

Some guys are more than happy to share the info. But some lie a lot of guys think it's fun to let a girl measure them.

what you are saying is true but if everyone (both women and men) stopped think about what a man or women the world would be a better place but thats not what happens.

plus you are getting back to what i am saying does nto happen which is the belief that guys wnat to be the biggest in the world......that is not true. its more like guys wanting to be in that certain size preference/requirement they see women saying or just wanting to be liked for what they have....

Uh no. I don't belittle small penises at all. I don't think size matters, remember?

And I could care less what other men think about my breast size. I only care what my DH and I think about it.

So you can't answer a hypothetical question hypothetically?

Ok. Well, if 1 out of 100 were to say size matters and the other 99 said it doesn't matter (write, speak, on charts -anything that the guys pick up on) then I think that would help. The reason I think that would help is because I believe guys natural inborn thinking that size matters wouldn't be in place. In other words, I believe size shows up mattering to a certain percentage of women on polls (only a small percentage of those saying it matters it's important) because guys instincts aren't wrong (but psychologically some guys overrate it). Now if those polls showed only 1 percent of women voted size matters and 99 percent voted size does not matter, then I do think that would have a very calming effect on any guys wondering, but once again I don't think there would be many guys wondering to start with anyway anyway, as the polls would match up, at least to some extent, with guys instincts, and those instincts would be that size rarely matters (when I say "matters", I including the women that vote size enhances sex for them but isn't important, and I'm of course also including size queens). So I can answer the question, but I believe it entails considering things would be different if polls only showed a 99 to 1 ratio. Instincts, culture, personal experiences, polls, would all indicate size as an enhancement is rare, and it would be a different world we live in. So it seems to me that can't really directly hypothetically answer this hypothetical question. Not without adjusting all the connections. There is reason to believe guys do have an instinct concerning size. Some guys do overrate how much it matters, but some guys underate it. I also think it's a woman's instinct to be filled, even though it's not important. It's my belief that when a woman says size doesn't enhance sex she either has a small vagina, and/or she has become psychological appalled at the putting of too much emphasis on a body part, and/or she has had a bad experience in her past, either from being pummelled in bed by a big one that didn't use it well, or by some guy or woman in her past going on and on about big dicks, and/or she is in denial. Just like some guys develop an overrating of it, I believe some women develop an underating of it. I think that since guys instincts from the get go is that size counts, I believe women must have the same corresponding instincts. The difference between women and men is the mental approach about it. Men are inclined to view it as power, and some women become appalled at this.

The definion of " does size matter" appears to be different on this board from the way I view it. It's been often posted at IVillage that "size only matters to size queens". I feel that answer shows this board will not give an objective unbiased complete answer to the question. Actually, when the question is asked 'does size matter', it's asking 'is bigger better'. It's not directly asking if it's important, though importance level can naturally be a part of the question, it's mainly asking if bigger has an advantage over average and if average has an advantage over small. In polls women vote 66%, and even 82% on one poll, that bigger is an enhancement. That's provided 7" is included in the bigger category, and indeed 7" is bigger than average. Huge doesn't score well, as small doesn't either. But just like huge has it's size queen fans, small has it's fans also, vagina size probably being responsible for some of the huge and small votes. 'Does size matter' is not asking if women will choose men based on penis size (though some size queens might), it's asking if bigger has an advantage in bed. Answers here focus only on size queens. Not objective at all.

And your response is clear evidence that men overrate size and it's importance to women. But the male instinct you speak of is to compete with one another for women.

Very few women would spend that much time thinking about or analyzing their vaginas. Much less worrying that it won't measure up to a man's expectations. It either does or it doesn't but there's not much you can do about it if it doesn't.

So, whether size really makes a difference to some women or not, I don't know too many size queens who would hang around while a man gains a milimeter or two with the exercises.
