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.

thinker, you have a great attitude. The difference between a mans insecurities about his penis and a womans about her breasts, is breasts are for show, where a penis actually has a function when it comes to satisfying a partner.A man who perceives his penis is too small to satisfy a woman is normally concerned about nothing, but he doesnt see it that ...

I wasn't always katmandoo. I've had one other board name on IVillage before this one, but I don't need to prove anything to anyone.

And hey, if you guys want to worry and give that much power to the size queens out there, then by all means, feel free to do so. LOL!

But have you ever considered that these insulting comments you claim to hear so often are actually just "payback?" Women have put up with being held to ridiculous standards for eons & along with those, came the insulting comments & comparisons. Maybe, just maybe, payback is a bitch.

As I've said before, Been, you're entitled to your opinion, and me, mine. If you believe it works, then keep plugging it. I just don't believe that you can pull on your penis and make it significantly longer, permanently.

Well, YOU did, in so many words. You seem to indicate that because you didn't see my name in past threads that maybe I haven't posted here for as long as I have.

And yes, some women may feel it's deserved payback to make a man feel insecure about his size. Maybe they aren't size queens at all, just resentful Exes.

I agree with you Kat....it's payback! (I said it way back on this board as well). With the explosion of porn and the internet, women not only can see and compare men as well, but they can also "plant the seeds" necessary to make men feel insecure.

Anyhow....whomever said (I think it was Hump), that a man has every right to be insecure because the penis is about "performance" and women do not because breasts are about "visual" stimuli (which is not necessarily true...as they are used for "performance" as well)....I really do not see any difference. Whether it's physical stimulation or visual stimulation, it's still stimulation and that person is still being rated and passed by based on that one criteria. If a man likes large breasts, why would it be any different than a woman who likes large penises? He likes them because he gets off on it, just the same as she does. Either can be a turn off, or a turn on....so it makes just as much sense (as we can see from the explosion of breast enhancement surgery currently infiltrating our culture), that women have just as much right to be insecure about it, as men are with penis size. Breasts are sexually stimulating for men period and many women BELIEVE that MOST MEN love LARGE breasts. I wouldn't even say that penis size requirements are anywhere near the requirements of breast size. That's all women hear...breasts, breasts, breasts....all of their lives. I'm willing to bet their size, shape, and firmness are MORE important to men than penis size, shape or firmness is to women. ;-) That gives women MORE right to be insecure.

But, yep...it's the "Revenge of Held to a Physically High Standard" people.... Porn and the internet has just sped up the process.

It's both - sure that happens that sometimes it's just payback, but sometimes it's size queens. However, when women are answering polls and some answer by saying size only matters to a slight degree and they would not judge a man by his penis size, and go on to calmly talk about it, putting more emphasis on other factors like personality, etc., with many of those stating a bigger preference saying it's more about some extra girth that enhances sex for them, it's not revenge then. If it was they would make sure to include length. Your post implies it's almost all about revenge, but objective consideration of what women say indicates it's not. However, I can see some value in your point, and I wouldn't doubt it happens. Especially when a woman is angry, as hell knows no fury like a woman scorned, and women know the penis is the achilles heel for many men. Kicking him verbally in the balls is a powerful weapon for a woman. I'm thought of as being too 'pro size', but really, I am far more objective in studying the results than many here on the pro 'size doesn't matter' side. For instance, what if I said it matters to 100 women for every one woman it doesn't matter to. See how extreme that would look to you folks for me to say such as that. You would be agasp. But nothing considered shocking here for it to be said 100 to one doesn't matter, or for revenge to be said to be the all consuming answer. Really, ya are far more out on the end of reality than I am.

I didn't mean to imply that it was ONLY about revenge...of course there are women who are legitimate size queens. I do think, though, that MOST women do not really care.

"For instance, what if I said it matters to 100 women for every one woman it doesn't matter to. See how extreme that would look to you folks for me to say such as that."

I'm not disputing any of the stats on what percentage of women do or don't care about penis size (because we are speaking about a small amount)....but I think it's SAFE to say that the majority of men DO care about breast size. So really....what's your gripe? ;-)

P.S. On the same line as men worrying about what women think about penis size, due to the fact that they themselves do....I often wonder if it's really a result of their own superficiality. Is it because men care so much about a woman's sexual parts that causes their own insecurities? Is it projection? "If I do it, they must do it?"

I agree that belittling anyone only makes things worse. Particularly belittling something about someone that is so personal.

I believe women have been saying that for years, haven't they?
