Penis Size Concern
Posted: 04-18-07 09:36am

I’ve been in an exclusive relationship with my girlfriend for over a year. We were comparing old relationships, and she indicated that I was the shortest guy that she has ever been with. I’m only 5’5”, she is a few inches taller than me, and I’m not uncomfortable with that situation. However, the conversation turned to penis size, and she indicated that he last boyfriend was much larger. This was very painful to hear! She reassured me that she loves me, my size is fine, and would not trade anyone for me. I truly believe what she said, and I’m grateful for her love. But, I can’t help but be concerned that she wishes that I were larger. I’ve never been too concerned as I’m within the normal average of around 6”, but since our conversation I’ve become very preoccupied with my penis size. After spending way too much time thinking about it, I realize that she has a preference to be on top, and this compounds my concern. That is, I think that she prefers to be on top to get maximum penetration from my comparatively smaller penis. This has become such a problem for me that I have totally withdrawn from her sexually. We used to have a very active sex life, but I have been avoiding sex with her for the past few weeks. Yes, she has noticed, and it is starting to cause other problems in our relationship.

Now, I’ve read a great deal that indicates that many women are not very concerned about penis size, and that technique and being in a caring relationship is more important. I understand that, but just how much more sexually exciting is it to have intercourse with a large man? I know that my girlfriend would never say anything to deliberately hurt me, and she would never admit to wishing that I were larger. I would do anything to make her more satisfied, but this is something that I cannot change! I need an unbiased opinion about moving from a partner with a large penis to one with an average penis. Not with respect to love, but just sex. Not with respect to technique, but just with respect to penis size.

wow,dude,your trying to fix something that is not broken.there was no problem until the cnoversation and obviously she is satisfied with you. being about 6" is not bad.I've had biggeryes,but bigfger is not always better.your not small and your not big.I think you need to stop obsessiong over things like that.as you can see,you being like that all of a sudden is ruining your relationship and for what?nothing.there is nothign wrong with you size and obviously she doesn't care.and who cares if she gets on top for more penetration?Lots of women including myself like to be on top and if your with a big guy,that hurts! your looking at everything the wrong way!

I agree with Mel, 6" is a good, great size. If she weren't happy with you then she wouldn't be with you. Trust me, if the sex isn't good ladies don't hang around. you are fine.....

here is a chart i found.....you are very average in your size



If you obsess about your size you may start failing in sexual department. Yes we like/love being on top but not always because of the max penetration. a lot of wemon like being on top because they can control the penetration, if you were much larger (unless her cooch is very large) it would hurt her to take anymore than 6. You are making a big deal over something that isn't. and it's going to end up ruining your relationship because it seems like you are obsessing over the little things (pardon the pun) and not seeing the big picture. who cares if her last boyfriend was larger? she is with you...and your going to end up ruining that.

I agree with the others. You're worried about something that isn't even a problem to begin with. Like Sunflower said, some women (not all) like to be on top, but it's actually usually for other reasons than thinking their partner is too small. I have had different partners, and in my opinion, it isn't really a big deal at all, even when you don't factor in love or emotions of any kind.

Thanks for the input! I’ve tried discussing this with my girlfriend, but she REALLY does not want to discuss penis size. Her reluctance to talk has only added to my fears. I'm afraid that she is simply protecting my feelings.

I realize that I’m average, and that size is not everything. But, with the premium that is placed on size, it must have some impact on sexual satisfaction?

My fear is that she became accustomed to the larger size of her pervious boyfriend. Granted it has been over a year, and I hope that she has become accustomed to my smaller size. But, I’m afraid that I can never satisfy her the way his larger penis was able to both physically and psychologically. I know that she loves me, and enjoys sex with me, but the idea that I’m lacking in this aspect is very painful. I want to be everything for her. So, from a woman’s perspective, just how much difference does it make on sexual satisfaction to move from a partner with an above average sized penis to one with just an average penis? Would introducing above average toys help compensate for the change? Beyond the physical aspect, is it possible to minimize the psychological impact?

I can garontee that she has forgotten what it felt like to be with him. you are making something a big deal when it's not....and you need to stop preasuring her to talk to you about it. she doesnt' want to talk about her exs with you and you need to stop....it doesn't mean that she liked it any more than you

I think a reason for that is not to avoid hurting your feelings,its more that she might feel your making a bigger deal out of it than it is and doesn't think it needs to be talked about

Well just to let you know,if your worried abouther getting off during sex,most women can't get off on that alone.Most have to have oral stimulation!

honsetly,psychologically its nothing unless your like 4 inches and our not.no girl really thinks about her man having a small one,expecially when he really is average.And like I said earlier,bigger is not always better.I've had a guy who was 9in long and a guy who was 6 1/2.the 6 1/2 was better because it was less painful to ride him.

Maybe she does not want to talk about it because she is sick of talking about it. If you keep asking her about it, she just might get sick of the subject in general. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with your penis.

I have had a few partners, and honestly, I don't notice a difference. Most women orgasm from clitoral stimulation and only have those sensitive nerve endings within just the first couple of inches of the vagina. So length really isn't that important because most women aren't going to feel it anyway, unless the man is so long that he hits the cervix, which hurts for most women.

Your average woman would be more likely to feel size differences when it comes to how big around the penis is, rather than how long it is. But even a penis that is big around isn't what every girl wants, and it isn't going to guarantee an orgasm.

Honestly, I don't think it's a big deal. When I am with someone, I don't lie there thinking about past lovers.

You could always look into counseling too. If you are really preoccupied with this, even though she and many other women have indicated that there isn't even a problem there, and if it is taking its toll on your relationship, there's no harm in talking to a therapist about it to help you deal with it and boost your confidence.

In my experience, bigger is not better, it's painful. I hate all of these porn-like ideals of a man's penis. Would you really want something the size of texas shoved inside of you?? It is not pleasant.

And I like to be on top, too, but it has nothing to do with size. I just orgasm easier that way because I can control the speed and such, and make sure my man isn't done before me : )

Honestly, as long as you aren't abnormally small (which it sounds like you aren't) there is no problem.
