A pattern I see is those of us who ARE 5.5 -5.75) don’t really think much of it (meaning we don’t consider ourselves “big”) and those who are under 5” would lose their pinky tip for it. Then take the guys who are 5.75-6 or 6+ and at that point you’ll find some who may say they want more, but who also can’t deny the fact that they are fortunate/blessed to have what they have.
So I’ll summarize (my experience) to say that 5.5 is NOT big and certainly not huge. I suppose it depends on how you define the word “big”. As “big” is like “huge” to some, and “above average” to others.
I’d call
5.5 “above average” or “almost big”, “kinda thick”
5.75 “big”, “thick”
6-6.25”+ “very big”, “very thick”
6.5-7”+ “huge”, “beastly”, “scary thick”
I can tell you that no girl will think you have a pencil dick at 5.5 and up. But you also won’t get too many telling you how thick you are unless they are extremely inexperienced or they just want to boost your ego and make you feel good about yourself.
As far as sex, I’ve never met a girl who’s had a problem with my girth (now 5.5/5.7/6 from top/middle/bottom). I have encountered issues on length (depth), but never girth. By and large very few girls felt super tight, and if they did feel tight, as others have mentioned, once you get going and they get super wet that feeling will go away meaning most of their vaginas were able to expand and accommodate me width-wise essentially without issue. I’ve been with both experienced and inexperienced. Those “in the know” will know it’s not thin/small, but, it is my personal belief that they also won’t jump for joy unless you’re at the 6” or 6.25”+ category (msg), this I say from conversations I’ve had with girls (it’s almost ALWAYS about the girth, assuming you’re at least low average in length)
In my opinion the ideal practical girth lies within 5.25-6.25.
My reasoning:
The lower on that scale can do it all. It is still above average and it can do anal and receive blow jobs with relative ease from most of the female population. 5.75 is big, will definitely please all even the bigger vaginas, may encounter some issues with anal and with some-to-most girls will eventually lead to jaw fatigue/teeth. 6-6.25” will be sexual bliss to girls, but for some it may cause soreness, for many it will affect anal, and for most it will make receiving bjs from them difficult. You’ll really have to just hope you can find a girl with a big mouth because otherwise there will be teeth and their jaws will get tired quickly.
So it’s really about where your priorities lie, combined with what percentage of the female population you want to impress. 5.25 will be deemed adequate by any experienced girl and sufficient by maybe even the size queen, 6.25 will make jaws drop and size queens happy.
Lastly, a bit of an anecdote. My penis is tapered, starting smaller and getting thicker. My head is smaller than my msg usually unless it’s fully engorged then it’s closer to my base girth. Maybe, for me, this has meant that putting it in is easier as the thickness gradually increases. But one thing that is always true, with close to two dozen girls, after being well into a sex session, when I kegel and squeeze my head, they all react. All of them, some with intense joy and it often initiates their orgasm. I equate that to thinking that were it always that big without me squeezing, they’d maybe like it just a little more (although they’d probably get used to that and then when you squeeze and give them 6.25-6.5 you’d have the same reaction).
Clearly I’ve given this tons of thought. I’ve known about PE for half a dozen years and have done it off and on in that time.
