Typical size?

Me and my partner disagree on whether or not he's large, I've only had two other partners so don't really have much to compare him to but even after nearly a year of daily sex I still struggle with him! He's fairly small when flaccid and I think that's where he gets the idea that he's small in general, when flaccid he can be anywhere from four inches to two inches (one of my partners was about four inches when hard and said he was average) but when he's hard he's around 7 inches, I've never got a ruler out but you can get two hands on it and have room to wank him.

Whats your experience of mens size? Is my man really as small as he thinks he is?! Or do men just underestimate themselves?

I've never seen another man's erection, but I'm told I'm quite big. I never know where the measurements are taken from, but I'm two of my hands when erect. The thing is, you then get onto how big the hands are.

What I would say is to carry on saying he's big. I love it when my OH says that I'm big or I'm hard when we're making love. At the end of the day, it's between you two, so if he's big for you, then he's big.

I will never understand men and their problem with the size of their knob.

Actually, I suppose I do - as men are the largest consumers of online porn (actually, this might not be true anymore... I know times are changing) - and in the majority of these movies, most of the porn stars are hung like donkeys - so it's no wonder men often feel inadequate!

Penis size is affected in so may different ways, and every guy is different. Some men are growers, some are show-ers! Some guys might be really small when flaccid, others bigger.

I don't know the validity of research, but I think it was found the average erect penis size for men in the UK was between 5 and 6 inches. But when oh when will men realise it's not the size that matters, it's how you use it!

My OH did get a shock when I bought a dildo that I said was the same same size as him and it was actually smaller... Whoops!! :O

This did make me chuckle!

i have no problem whether he's small in relation to other men, it wouldn't change how massive he is to me, I just want him to realise how big he is, every time I say he's big he says "I'm not, little willy" I want him to love himself as much as I do lol

and I don't want him to turn up one day with a penis extender because I'd probably faint!

Lol, I just thought of the word donkey. I called my OH a donkey because he was carrying all the shopping, my handbag, our youngest child and his bag, and I said "look! Daddy is a donkey"

His reply; "that's what they all say"

*facepalm*

Love this

7 inches is above average length but if he is still really bothered and self concious about size you can allways say 7 inches is around 177,800,000 nanometers. Makes it sound huge!

"Nano" makes it sound really small though lol

we were just talking about it and he said he was about four inches! Like hell he is! I feel bad, he should feel ace knowing he's above average but because he's small flaccid he's embArresed cause he's small.

theres not really a lot i can do though

say the nano part quietly?

i just like counting things in the millions :P

Goodness me why is he thinking he's small when he's flaccid. Its like talking about how good chocolate tastes when its still in the wrapper!!!

Exactly! I don't what he thinks other men must look like hard!

I adore his cock, and I don't want him to think I pretend when in awe of him, it's absolutely gorgeous, like the most beUtiful dildo you've ever bought!

Hmm I can understand this though he's got no reason to worry. I think I'd want an extender for whenever I get a new partner.

Most guys underestimate their size, just because of the perspective.

A good exercise is to find a household object (or sex toy, of course) of the same size and pick it up and hold it in his hands. I was quite shocked when I tried that!

That's an ace idea Matt thanks

Size doesnt bother me at all but just as I worry about the size of my boobs, hubby, i think, has moments of thinking he's not big enough.

In my mind he is perfect, it is the old cliche of "it not the size but what you do with it that counts". I can feel everything, he fits just right and because of that I dont care what size it is, and the only reason we would know what it measures is because of a pump we tried that had measurements on the side.

Strangely size does matter to me, my exes were both really small and did absolutely nothing for me, but I feel like he's self conscious for nothing.

on the subject of pumps though, what are they like? What do they actually do?

most are a short term effect mainly, they use vacuum to pump up the penis and keep it pumped by way of a cock ring. With regular use they can make more of a change and I think I've seen some expensive ones on here that are meant to give more of a permanent change.

When i say size doesnt matter, i meant that as a general thing. I was no more impressed a previous 9" than i was with a 5". BUT yes, a tiny one of 2-3" really did nothing for me, but then the guy was pretty useless in every area anyway so i didnt want to try and overcome the size issue.

I won't repeat my reviews of penis pumps as they're quite long, but have a look here:

I've experienced both large and small and can honestly say that something inbetween is just fine, thanks! The large was a genuine 10" and so damn big that it hurt! It was lovely to look at but was too damn big, length and width, to be able to do much in any position. The small was a genuine 2" at full stretch, and I couldn't be sure it was ever in place! Easiest blow job I ever gave though ;-)
OH is a lovely 7" and I couldn't be happier!
