Women or may just girls perhaps have an unrealistic expectation on penis size

Mine maxes out at 8 but is really thick. I'm happy with it. lol. One girl found it too big for her mouth, but I think she was turned on by that.


Why did you just tell everyone your penis size? ...nobody asked :s-smilie:

I've found the opposite, women don't seem to care or even notice size whereas guys seems to have some weird obsession with measuring they're penises and telling everyone how big they are.

Seriously, guys need to just get over the whole penis size thing. If a girls got you out of your underwear she's hardly going to reject you because of a inch or so.

I'm sure those girls on twitter were all about 14 and had only ever seen a penis on the internet before.

(also speaking of fake penis pictures, did anyone see the dappy photo? twas like a pasty courgette :mmm:)


I don't know what women talk about (not a ladies' man or anyone else's man for that matter :biggrin:) but that bolded bit seems to me obviously right.

Having said, it still doesn't sound quite right to say that men are obsessed with it (and we are) just cos. I suspect women play a role in it as well (though again, I'm far from being knowledgeable about anything that has anything to do with women). I don't think men believe that we're going to be rejected because of our size. Rather the worry is that women prefer larger sizes and though they may not reject you because of your size, you're nonetheless at a comparative disadvantage because of it.

Not even sure if what I said makes sense. I'm tired and discussing sexuality is not really my forte.

Another thing is that women seem to think the average is over 8 inches, according to some chart. When actually that only applies to like 5% of the population.



:lolwut: I don't know any woman that thinks that ....

If size doesn't matter, how come my girlfriend's vibrator isn't three inches and crooked?


For the same reason that porn is full of big boobed women - same principle really.

For a start, biologically women are normally worse than men at estimating distance and length. So yes, it's no wonder many women are confused.

Also - well, porn and erotic stories are always going on about some guy's ten inch cock. It's unrealistic to expect the average guy to be sporting that sort of length, and to be honest, a lot of women wouldn't want it if it was available (something hitting off your cervix HURTS). But that'll be why women seem to think bigger penises are much more common.

It doesn't help that some guys lie about their size. So if a six inch guy is telling his girlfriend that he has an eight inch penis, she probably won't really know the difference.

Also: Neg? For the truth? Alrighty then.


Surely if that's the case, then guys would expect the average breast size to be larger than what it currently is? Though I guess breast size can go up/down depending on how fat you are as well

Women have, in general, a complete lack of spatial awareness. It's scientifically proven and everything.

Feel free to use that to your advantage.

lol what kind of pop psuedoscientific tripe is this?

Research papers/journals supporting such a scientific claim?

To be honest (and I'm a girl so I wouldn't quite know), I'm guessing it can't actually be all that easy guessing the size of a girl's breasts if you're a guy, since it depends on more than one thing.

I mean. I challenge any guy who has slept with his girlfriend but doesn't know her bra size to go and buy her a bra that fits. I doubt it can be done.

... I couldn't do it for any of my female friends, and women really should know better than guys.

I think the difference in porn is probably that a lot of the boobs are clearly fake, or guys will know they're probably fake. Whereas you can't really fake penis sizes.

Would you like more or will those suffice?

More please. Preferably ones not from the 80s and with a 1 tailed hypothesis supported by concordance rates and a genetic or neurological basis which persists longitudinally, i.e from young children to old age.

Had a feeling you'd say that, so I had this one ready to go.

Journal of Psychology and Education: Learning and Individual Differences, "Reducing the sex difference in math anxiety: The role of spatial processing ability", Volume 22, 2012

May I particularly draw your attention to Study 2

Participants in this sample ranged in age from 18 to 78 and had a variety of education levels. The data from our second sample were also consistent with a
mediation model (see Fig. 1) whereby the effect of sex on math anxiety is mediated by spatial processing ability.


Still unsatisfied? There is a plethora of research on this subject and the evidence is all on my side.

Can someone PM me the pics of Zac Effron naked please? I'd like to have a look.

Thanks.

Will read when up. Any for non-emic cultural support?

This is not my academic area of expertise, so I do encourage you to search for highly specific reports like this for yourself. However,

Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science "Ecological and cultural factors in spatial perceptual development.". Volume 3, Issue 4, 1971

Which is unable to find conclusive evidence for non-Western or Industrialised samples (where there is conclusive evidence), but notes that

a pattern of superiority emerges either where male-female role separations are strong (as in urban-industrial society) or where there is no high development in these skills generally


It seems rather likely that the women that the OP engages in sexual activity with are Western or Industrialised, and therefore my comments are valid.

He should feel free to embellish the size of his slong in confidence.

Yeah, between 5 and 6 is the average, allegedly. Can I ask, have you measured his penis or did he just tell you it was 9?


I got the measuring tape out; he was a virgin an I wondered exactly how much penis he had hidden away all his life...

For research purposes? :colone:

I just googled it, a few links down is some article about it on a gay website.

I don't understand why you'd tell a woman the size of your penis? For what reason, unless she was definitely going to sleep with you.. And if she was, she'd be a bit disappointed if its not the size you mentioned?! Good luck, I hope your publicity stunt doesn't 'flop' and it's not too 'hard' for you!

Answer to the thread question? Honestly, NO!!

Seriously we know what the average penis looks like both flaccid and hard and unless you're 14 and dumb, like a lot of those twitter followers, we know that that's totally normal and not be nothered by it. who knows, when hard he could stay the same, or grow to 7 inches.

and yes, porn does give unrealistic expectations of men, just like it does for women, exactly the same principle. If we change the thread question to 'men or maybe just boys perhaps have an unrealistic expectation of boob/bum size' the answers from guys would be exactly the same in that they know and they don't care

I doubt the spacial awareness they are discussing in these articles is to do with a mans penis size :colonhash: It would have to be 5 metres long or something
