Penis Size Debate

If others have seen my posts on penis size, completely ignore them because I often post when I am frustrated or temporarily insane.

Anyhow, the debate goes on and on, and reflecting on all the archives, it is the same story, but yet everyone can begin the debate all over, like me. Here is my take on it.

Does size matter? Depends. If yes, how much? Depends.

I took a rough survey using the 700 plus posts on the subject and I have come up with really rough numbers that classify 4 types of women. Now, women who dont really care about size because they dont really care too much about sex are not included. I am tempted to not include women who have only had less than 3 partners, but I figured that is too discriminating, although 80% of women now probably do have at least 3 partners, so.....

Anyhow, here is my take

35%(group A) Size doesnt matter in the slightest for all intensive purposes
45%(group B) They "prefer" big enough to feel completely full, but if not, no worries.
15%(group C) They NEED to feel quite full.
5% (group E) size queen (Need to be filled and a whole lot more!)

I dont want to get into semantics about G-spots, hot spots in the vagina, size of vagina, etc. Lets just say that being full means a very snug/tight feeling around the penis for a sufficient "enough" depth. For some, that could be 5x4.5, and for others, 9x7.

Now, men who are insecure (or secure well hung macho-bacho men) will feel that 65% (45+15+5) of women think size is quite important. The insecure men might hear a completely honest woman from group B say, "7.5x5.5 is better(all else equal), but 5.5x4.5 will do just fine", and feel bad about it.

If men are secure, they might feel that 80% (45+35) of women dont care to a significant degree. Among the women who do care, some only need "6x5" to feel full enough anyway.

My numbers are HIGHLY debatable, but ASSUMING they are right, my conclusion is:

Even though size does clearly "matter" for the simple majority, a confident man will find that it only REALLY matters 20% of the time at MOST! This is how I feel personally.

Hump, I never said they didn't, just giving some other possible explanations and ideas on things you commented on in your first post. Not meaning to put you on the defensive. ;-)

Hump, I've been doing some reading and I thought that this may be something of interest to you and anyone reading. Apparently, the cervix doesn't really contain any substantial amount of nerve endings, and although it may be sensitive in some women(it can also be at some times of the month and not at others), in others it is not. This could explain why some women may not have any problems with deep penetration of a longer penis.

http://www.coolnurse.com/vagina.htm

"This is your cervix, the 'neck' of your uterus. In the middle of the cervix is a small round opening, called the os, that leads to the uterus. The os is the small opening through which menstrual blood flows from the uterus into the vagina. This is the same small opening that expands during childbirth. This is also where cells for a pap smear will be taken to make sure they are healthy. Many females have very sensitive cervixes, some do not."

http://www.healing.org/only-10.html

"The mouth of the womb (cervix) is one of the areas most commonly subject to pathologic conditions in a woman. Next to the breast, it is the most common sight of sex organ cancer and it is from this area that we take our samples for the well known Pap (Papanicolaou) test. The cervix is an interesting structure, in that while it may be susceptible to many pathologic conditions, it has no real amount of sensory or pain nerve endings. Therefore, very little direct pain is experienced from cervical diseases and many cervical conditions may go unnoticed and untreated for years.

The lack of sensitive nerve endings in this area is essential to the conduction of normal childbirth. It is necessary for the cervix to stretch many times its normal size during delivery. If it contained many sensory nerve endings, such dilation would produce unendurable pain. Although such a lack of nerve fibers is a physiologic necessity, it makes it imperative for a woman to be examined in this area at least once a year during her childbearing years and at least every other year thereafter. Cervical disease does not give the warning symptoms that diseases of other areas do."

I studied this subject in depth (no pun intended) and I agree with your post.

dakine001,

Yes, he said only 20% care about size, but that doesn't mean it makes no difference whatsoever to any others. Don't forget about the other group, namely the ones he mentioned that prefer a fuller feeling. It's not a deal breaker for them if their ideal size isn't met, so they don't care on a significant level, but they admit it enhances intercourse for them. They care also, but not enough to let it interfere with a relationship. No matter how good (or bad) their sex life is, it would indeed enhance it for them, but it's not something they are going to be putting thought into.

Oh goodie - another penis size debate!

I don't know why we need statistically analysis. It soon becomes readily apparent that women come in all shapes and sizes and all have different preferences. Honestly I don't know why we debate size like this. Provided the woman that you are currently having intercourse with is happy then I don't see why it matters how big or small it is.

The underlying feeling that you get from all this debating is that there must be a LOT of guys out there that feel "There must be a certain perfect size that all women will be happy with and I bet that it's bigger than what I have myself".

Wow. So many interesting posts. I have been a way for awhile, so I will look through everyones reply and add my 2 cents.

I agree with the two I read so far. There is no reason to reject a MAN due to the size of one of his organs. My df would never dump someone based on size, and I would not date anyone who would. Just my preference.

I listed percentages in an attempt to accomplish 3 things.
1) To show that many people debate and debate and try to give ONE answer, when really the answer depends. One of the people on this board advocates that it isnt size so much as it is fit. Others say it depends on the priorities and experiences of the woman in question. I used percentages and groups. There is no real answer in general.

2) the percentages were used to point out how for some men, it seems like many women care alot, while for other men, it seems like very few women care. Who is right? Well, there are several factors that alter perception, but I think a man's level of security is the largest factor.

3) I wanted to conclude that although many movies, shows, magazine, popular media, etc., try to demonstrate that women in fact do care about penis size, the reality is that penis size is an after thought for most women. I think many women may favor good sized penises when all else equal (not a real life assumption) but an ideal-sized penis is neglible when choosing a life partner. That is my opinion of course.

Anyhow, I will look at your responses further.

The percentages aren't accurate, but at least they help my three arguments.

Very good post humpdaddy.

~Most of the women I have been with were a good fit~
It is more about fit than it is about overall size

~ So my conclusion is there is no conclusion.. ~
There will never be a clear cut "answer". There really doesnt need to be either.

~There will always be a size queens~
I agree. They are a small percentage, and do more of their share of talking, and should be ignored in my opinion. They are what they are, so who cares what they say, unless you really want to date this type of person.

Wow, that is exactly what I was trying to convey. Thanks for the additional comment. I may have lost people with the numbers and other comments, but that is what I wanted to say in a nutshell. And I wanted to point out that a small percentage of woman are complete size queens, and that no matter what, they will be around and running thier mouths, but because they are a huge minority, they dont really matter so much.
