Is Penis Size Important?

One of the most common things guys wonder about is penis size...is it too small, is it big enough...it's one of the top male insecurities.  Why is that?  Is it really important?

Well, DUH, of course it's important. :-)  But probably not as important as men think it is.  (more on this below)

If you want to see how your favorite penis measures up, this site has a great survey showing different penis sizes and also some visual references if you don't have a ruler or tape measure handy.

Check it out!

It showed that most men (22%) say they have an erect penis in the 6 - 6.5 inch range. Is that just because they think that's what's average?

Only 9% said they were in the 5.5 - 6.0 inch range when erect, and it dropped off rapidly from there.

A few lucky men were part of the 7% who said they were 8.5 inches or larger when fully aroused.

Many men feel that bigger must be better in most things, and certainly having a larger penis must be better, right?  Sure, all things being equal, having a bigger male member can make sex better...assuming the man knows how to use it properly and it's not bigger than what the woman is comfortable with.

You can be sporting a 10" erect penis and be a lousy lover, or be 4" long when hard but be the best lover your woman has ever known.  But that doesn't stop us from wanting a "little extra" size if we can get it. lol

Some women actively seek out larger men, because they've had a larger partner in the past and they really enjoyed how he felt.  Some women are just curious...they're happy with an average-sized man but are wondering in the back of their mind if it would be better with a hung dude or not.  And of course there are those "size queen" females who won't have anything to do with you unless you're packing some serious meat in your pants:  they've decided that they only want really big guys and if you can't "measure up" then don't bother getting naked for her!

Speaking from experience though, bigger isn't always better.  If your woman can't handle all of your penis, or is unwilling to perform oral sex on you because you're too large, well, it can really suck (pardon the expression!).   If you know a guy who's got a large penis, he can probably tell you about how he sent his girlfriend to the gynecologist because they got a little carried away and he bumped her cervix (ow!) or how she said her vagina was sore and they had to stop having sex for a while.

There's more than one way to measure the penis, too...we've been talking about length so far, but don't forget about girth, or how thick the male member is.  For a lot of women, they can "feel" girth a lot more than length when you're having sex.  Girth is what gives them that "full" feeling and increases the pleasure sensations throughout her vagina.

So is penis size important?  Yes, although mostly being a good lover is more important to a woman.  If your partner loves you she's probably not going to tell you that you're too small (unless she's really cruel!).  She may daydream about being with a bigger guy, or remember another boyfriend who really filled up her pussy, but if she's with you and you know how to please her in bed, then it shouldn't matter.
