Size Matters

How did you read that title?  Size matters as in the size of something is important or size matters as in a topic related to size?  It's all about where you put the emphasis, but either would be right.  However, size does matter.  If someone says different, they are lying.  Approximately 45% of men are unhappy with their penis size.  On the contrary, 85% of women are happy with their partner's size.

FACT: Only 15% of penises are 7 inches or longer, only 3% are 8 inches or more.

What is average?  The global average is approximately 5.5 inches in length, 4.5 in circumference.  Surprised?  Averages vary by country.  North and South Korea tie for last place at 3.80 inches (does this explain something?).  Congo comes in first at just over 7 inches, Ecuador is a close second at 7 inches even.  The United States is barely above the global average at 5.6.  Interestingly, homosexual men from any given country measure in a little longer than straight men.

I love men and I love penises.  I'm not one of those girls that thinks they are "icky".  I want to look and touch and learn.  I like that they are different sizes.  I like that the person attached to them uses them differently and distinctly.  I've had personal experiences on the entire length (haha) of the spectrum.  From close to the size of a ruler, to as wide as a soda can, to about the size of my pinky and everywhere in between.  Let me reiterate, size does matter.

So, what does this all mean?  Does a man have to feel bad because he has an average penis?  Will a woman get no pleasure if he's at or below average?  NO!  Just like with anything, what might be right or feel good to one person may not be okay for someone else.

Fact: Woman care more about girth than length when it comes to one night stands.

This was the best diagram I could find.  Disappointing.

A lot about the man's size is dependent on the woman (or other man) as well.  If you have a short, tight or narrow vaginal canal, it can be difficult or even painful to engage with a penis that is much above average.  If the vagina is long, deep, wide or ..slack... There could be a problem for both partners feeling what they want and need if the penis is at or below average.  I don't like the feeling of repeatedly having my cervix slammed into, but I also want to know what is going on... I have found that 6-8 inches is perfectly adequate and enjoyable for me (something bigger than not but not so much that I can feel it in my skull), I will choose length over girth every time.  I very specifically do not like anything too wide.  This is likely not the same for you.  Just like choosing your partner, the penis size that is right for your vagina is all about personal preference.

I love nature.
