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.

I have no reason to think that the answers here are not totally objective since there's no reason for them not to be. No one has an agenda or anything to prove. I would be much more suspicious of those boards dedicated to specific subjects.

To me, a larger penis would not have any advantage in bed. And there are some acts that a larger than average penis would actually be a detriment....oral sex & anal being two.

One cany easily beat this subject to death. I thnk it likely that a 7" penis would fall within the accepted norm of average (stated elsewhere as five to seven inches). That said, I doubt if most men would have anthing to fear in regards to a wayward SO, if their member also was of decent girth.
Get much below the average size and it could cause problems.
Incidently, if you or others have managed to benefit from the various programs said to enhance an undersized penis, you and they constitue what is often refered to as an anomoly.

If in using the term anomoly you are speaking of going against standard theory as it is understood today, I agree in part. I say in part, since while mainstream claims it's impossible, they yet know for a fact ligaments of the body can become stretched. In fact, penis lengthening surgery involves slicing the ligaments to weaken them, and then hanging weights for months afterwards. See, it's not just surgery, it's surgery plus weights. We know from the guys that have done the surgery that the results are no better with the surgery. In fact, after the surgery if the weight hanging isn't followed in full regime there is risk of their penis becoming shorter. That has happened. The surgery costs money, is far riskier, and the results are no better, and at times worse. It may take longer for exercise results (and often that isn't the case), but the point is doctors know hanging weights can stretch the penis ligaments, so what's so impossible about? Though not easy, stretching the ligaments so that more inner penis is outside is the easier part to penis exercises. Actually stretching the penis itself is the most difficult part. Now this is specifically where almost all of mainstream say impossible (and avoid mentioning the ligaments). We know the penis itself is very slowly becoming longer and there are some very educated guys in biology and scienc that have studied this in detail and the prevailing theory is microtears of tissue and expansion of blood vessels is occurring. There is tons of analysis to support that this can be happening, but it's only theory. There are a few other theories, but it is the prevailing one. Think about this, even if mainstream were correct about the penis can't be changed, why do they neglect to mention that ligament stretching is also a part of the penis enlargement world? If they were truly being fair about it, and not letting their personal bias or closed mindedness into it, then why not at least mention this part about ligaments. Anomoly has always been around, but sometimes it's only an anomoly because of ignorance. The guy that first came up with evidence that the earth rotated around the sun, instead of visa versa, was actually hung by a rope, and branded a sinner by the Church. How dare he.

From what I've read about the surgery, it's typically only done in those cases where the ligaments have fused or are damaged in some way, preventing full NATURAL extension with erection. I've never heard of a man going in for surgery simply to add a minor amount of length for vanity's sake though. There is only so much tissue to work with anyway. I can't imagine that a reputable plastic surgeon would ever advise a dangerous surgery for such a minor & unguarenteed result. And even a full inch is minor.

Search the internet and you'll see it's being sought even by guys that are already average size, and many are doctors doing it. Now I wouldn't doubt there are tons of doctors not doing it, I don't know the numbers on that. And I don't doubt there are quacks, I've read a scary tale on that before too. Also, some women are seeking vagina alterations. You know how many women are doing breast enlargement. It's not just women doing things by the doctor route. It's just not talked about as much, and not as widespread among men as women. Some women are even having butt surgery, not only to reduce or firm up, as some are doing it to add on.

Sad doesn't describe the cases where people have saught and received physical enhancement at the hands of "professionals" who ranked in the bottom third of their graduating class only to be left with mishapen bodies or even "improved" appendages that no longer function as intended.

been has a point.'Does size matter' and 'is bigger better' are two different questions, in my mind.Even if is was better to some women it doesnt matter, because of the emotion involved.
The only way the question could be asked with unbias is this way...
All things being equal, (IF) you were to have sex with a sexually talented man, would the whole experience be enhanced if his penis were on the larger side?
The only answer is , for some yes and for some no

Much the same as those women who get breast implants and find they have no sensation to enjoy them anymore.

I can't believe that this debate is still raging.

Simple answers.

Men care about the size of their dicks far far more than women do.

A few woman specifically want a big penis but they *are* in the minority - who gives a toss what the actual percentages are?

Most women couldn't care less about the size as long its big enough to get the job done and not so big it'll hurt - and the vast majority of penises will do that.

If you're a guy with a really small dick, then you're **** out of luck and the sad fact of the matter is that it probably won't get the job done for most women. You WILL have a problem.

I can't believe that people are still trying to nail it all down to percentages and 1/4"'s.... talk about talking something to death.... the gender of the participants in this discussion just proves that more men are obsessed about penis size than women....
