[NSFW] Women do you really honestly believe size doesn't matter?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) September 20th, 2010

[NSFW] I know we all heard it that size doesn’t matter. When it comes down to the pure mechanics of it bigger makes a tighter fit, and a tighter fit means more contact, and that means more stimulation. If you met a guy who as witty, charming, polite, respectful and on a good career track but his bat only sported 5 2/5 inches long and 2 inches around you tell me you would not find sex lacking? You can honestly say it would be just as good? Plus you can say with a straight face you could have a long term relationship with him and it would not ever be a problem?

Size matters. It’s just not the first thing on the list.

The more appropriate colloquialism is “It’s not the size of the boat, it’s the motion of the ocean.”

Of course, in your example above, it might be a problem. Unless the guy was really good at head.

Size matters. I like overall big men.

BoBo1946's avatar

only 5 2/5…. average is 6! Besides, in a truly wonderful relationship, size is not an issue for most ladies.

Size matters.
It’s certainly not the only thing that matters, and if men are “small” then they could/can learn other ways of pleasuring.

ducky_dnl's avatar

It matters and it doesn’t. I’m not the best expert on that sort of size. I mean 5 2/5 doesn’t sound horrible to me, but hey..what do I know? It seems like it shouldn’t be a big deal though, imo. I don’t want someone freakishly small or freakishly big. Size matters, but to me, 5 2/5 doesn’t sound small. I could be mistaken and when that boat (Heh, boat.) comes my way, whatever size it be ..I’ll come to solid conclusion then. Just be happy with it. Between you and me, I think my boobs are small. :/

iamthemob's avatar

(realize – in this example it’s also only two inches around….

….think pinky finger).

ducky_dnl's avatar

@iamthemob Yeah, that would be a bit of a problem for me. :/

MacBean's avatar

Given the choice between larger than average or smaller than average, all other things being equal, I’ll pick smaller than average every time.

janbb's avatar

A good match matters which doesn’t necessarily mean the bigger the better.

nebule's avatar

Forgive my ignorance but what is 5 2/5 is that 5 inches??? I’m with @janbb actually couldn’t have put it better myself. SO yes, size does matter…but it is all relative! x

syz's avatar

Size matters out side of certain parameters. Really small and really large are problematic. For the majority of the bell curve, however, it’s not really an issue, although on the lower (smaller) end, creativity helps.

Paxan8's avatar

Ok so everyone is going to hate me for this but..I’m sorry but size really does matter if you feel sex is an important part of a relationship, which I do. If you meet a really interestng, witty man and he is small, under 7.5”, I would rather just be friends because there won’t be much of a sex life. Yes I know they say 6” is average but you need to consider that Asians make up ⅓ of the population and the average Asian penis size is 4–5” which brings down the overall average. I feel sex is the second most imporant part of a relationship, respect being first, so I would not be interested in having an intimate relationship with someone that small but as you can see every woman is differnt and there is someone for everyone.

Size matters. It’s just not the size of the penis. It’s the size of the heart and soul of the guy, and how much he cares for the partner he’s with. Took me awhile, but I finally got that.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@BoBo1946 Us old dogs still have a few tricks up our sleeves. :)

janbb's avatar

Women are different sizes too! Just sayin’ and that’s my final word on this topic.

syz's avatar

@janbb Too true. I’m short waist-ed, and I don’t enjoy having my cervix bumped, so really long penises are painful for me. That sentence just looks wrong.

Pied_Pfeffer's avatar

I dated a guy for two years that had a shorter than average penis. His brother once teased him about it in front of me. My response was, “It may look short when you see it, but when he is with me, it’s quite different.”

Size can make a difference, but that doesn’t necessarily make bigger better. I’d much rather stick with a good man and work out any minor sexual challenges. It can be quite fun.

BoBo1946's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe loll got’cha…plus, have always said, it’s about chemistry, chemistry, and chemistry. It’s is either there or not.

kenmc's avatar

@Paxan8 If you really believe 7.5” is where small begins, you watch entirely too much porn.

For the record, average penis size in American male is 5.2”.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@syz The sentence looks fine. I’ve heard the gasp when I hit the cervix. Its not fun for anyone in the room. (Now that sentence looks wrong:))

ucme's avatar

I hear Mickey Rooney’s hung like an Indian Elephant, nuff said :¬)

Aster's avatar

Of course it matters. Women just try to protect mens’ feelings and egos like they try to protect our’s. ha.
@BoBo1946 right; it’s either there or it might as well not be.

Frenchfry's avatar

Nah. As long as he is good with his tongue.

Pandora's avatar

Doesn’t mean a thing if he doesn’t know how to use it right. I had a friend who said her husband was hung like a horse but she just couldn’t climax. After she described to me what went on I understood that some may be born with a gift but not know how to use it.
And some guys are born without much of a gift but know how to work the package.

Its like the ugly girl senario. I’ve heard guys say they will date an ugly girl because she will try harder in bed than a really pretty girl.

tragiclikebowie's avatar

Like @janbb said, you also have to account into the account here the size of the woman’s lady parts. Those can vary as well. For example, 5” long and say, an average circumference (which wikipedia tells me is also 5 inches) would not be an issue for me, personally.

So, yes it matters more to some people than others depending on their own “size.” For me personally, usually it’s girth > length, unless they’re on the really low end of the spectrum. But I have never had an issue.

wundayatta's avatar

I was just wondering if you ladies would, er, well, test me out, so I could get a sampling of opinions? ;-)

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

I don’t believe that – it matters, to me but it’s not a huge deal.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

Let’s face it: It does matter. It’s more a question of do you prefer a maestro with six inches or a clown with eight inches. But it’s always nicer to have a maestro with eight inches.

RealEyesRealizeRealLies's avatar

Size matters for both. I’ve been with women who couldn’t handle it because they were too small. Big problem when the most you want is a pinky finger. I’ve been with women who were too large, able to take an entire fisted oven mitt. No fun at all.

It’s gotta be a fit!

faye's avatar

It’s not the size of the worm that catches the fish, it’s the wiggle. I’ve dated men who were large and just had no finesse. I’m also short and truly don’t want a long penis near me. I’ve also had sex with a man with a smaller penis who was so good at befores and afters that who cared!!it’s about time for any kind of penis, though

BoBo1946's avatar

when i was coaching, we had a kid that was about 5’2” and had very small hands…..the other kids would not go in the shower when he was in there….he could pick the soap off the floor with it.

phil196662's avatar

Explore angles of entry then those good spots can be stimulated with a small bat, or a nice gel- dildo and some rubbing to get her over the top!

Aster's avatar

”..with a small bat….” What? I guess it’s better than a 2×4 but

Frenchfry's avatar

@BoBo1946 with what his dick? Did I miss something?

DrasticDreamer's avatar

Average is perfectly fine with me. But, I will be honest and say that two inches around would not be that pleasurable at all. So, size does matter, in a way. Having requirements such as “it has to be 7.5 or larger” seems completely silly to me, though. What if it was 7.5 and only 3 inches around? What if a guy was only 5 inches long, but 5 inches around? I would take the latter over the former. I don’t know. I just think people worry about it too much. Confidence, more often than not, is what affects sex .

trailsillustrated's avatar

it matters. don’t let anyone tell you it doesn’t.

Neizvestnaya's avatar

Nope, I’ve never believed that. For me then size matters (if we’re talking about tinkers) that it’s not shorter than my longest finger or smaller in diameter than two of mine twined up. For penetration then I want to feel my partner all around, not think about them “slipping” out if I wriggle my hips at all. I know very well I can have orgasms by toys, oral or hands but I really like them with a tinker and a vigorous partner.

KatawaGrey's avatar

For me, size really doesn’t matter as much as what you can do with it. I’ve always found that the actual intercourse part of sex is like an after dinner coffee. It’s nice and wraps everything up well, but it’s not the main course. I’ll take a man with a small penis who gives orgasm-inducing head over the man with the big penis who thinks that a straight hour of intercourse is the only way to go.

Then again, if he lacks both talent and size, well, we’re both just outta luck.

Paxan8's avatar

@Aster I’m with you…a small bat?? WTF

To be honest I have had so many “mushroom caps” in my life I just can’t handle small penises anymore. But if I have to choose I will take girth over length anyday. But it has to be at least 4.5 inches so it can stay in.

Neizvestnaya's avatar

I’ve only ever seen one like @Paxan8 describes, pretty damn sure it was less than 4.5” and skinny like a child’s. I couldn’t get excited about it, felt self conscious about trying to find a way to move with the guy and in the end just felt grossed out, like a dog had been trying to hump on my thigh. If he had had other talents then as @KatawaGrey writes, it might have been a different story. I don’t find awkwardness in sex endearing, I’m a small woman (all over) and there is just something not right to me about sexing up a Vienna Sausage.

Paxan8's avatar

@Neizvestnaya haha the Vienna Sausage remark cracked me up. I have used that one often. You are so lucky you only had the one I seem to attract the little guys.

Neizvestnaya's avatar

@Paxan8: I do feel lucky that I haven’t had to be in the uncomfortable squeamish spot of being noticably turned off and weirded out. My issue has more been too big to be comfortable than the other way around. There’s not much a man can do about that piece of work down there.

RealEyesRealizeRealLies's avatar

this Q reminds me of when Eddie Murphy was distraught breaking up with his girlfriend.

He says,“I’m gonna find me some new pussay! That’s right biatch… some NEW PUSSAY!!!”

She said, “If you had two more inches of dick, you’d find some New Pussay!

Paxan8's avatar

I do feel sorry for the guys, they really can’t do anything about that equipment. There is no amount of manscaping, working out or eating that can give them an extra inch or so.

RealEyesRealizeRealLies's avatar

An extra optical inch is as easy as a quick trip to Walmart.

Jude's avatar

@wundayatta but, you’re married. Plus, some us really don’t want to see that. :)

I like average. I’m not all that big down there. I can’t take a big mongoose.

BoBo1946's avatar

@Frenchfry yes my friend….

Frenchfry's avatar

@BoBo1946 Is that even possible to pick up soap with a dick? Wow! Really? It should be in Ripley’s Believe it or not.lol

BoBo1946's avatar

not literally, but he was VERY hung.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@BoBo1946 We had a guy in our fraternity that was very short as well, and well equipped. His nickname was poddly, as in tripod.

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

@iamthemob The more appropriate colloquialism is “It’s not the size of the boat, it’s the motion of the ocean.” How does one in a very small dingy make a Titanic sized wave? If it all falls to his fingers and his tongue then it IS the size of the boat that dictates what happens.

@Facade @syz Size matters. I like overall big men. So, where does average ends and ”overly big” begins?

@janbb Women are different sizes too! Just sayin’ and that’s my final word on this topic. With that, a short but fat bat might be some women’s cup of tea where some other gal might need a long bat because the honey cave is rather…..ahem….deep?

@syz Too true. I’m short waist-ed, and I don’t enjoy having my cervix bumped, so really long penises are painful for me. Some women need a little cervix crushing ti get over the hump to ”big ‘O’” land.

@Paxan8 But if I have to choose I will take girth over length anyday. So, a dude with 5 3/8 in dumbstick that is 7 ¼ in around will be OK, even though it might look quite freakish?

wundayatta's avatar

@mama_cakes But, it’s truly purely in the interests of research and adding to the knowledge of man—well one man, anyway. ;-)

amberrae's avatar

To a certain extent size does of course matter, however, I have had ex’s whom were very well endowed be much worse in bed than someone not as big but who could give me complete and total satisfaction!
