In this thread, I’m in the “size doesn’t matter as much as many men think it does, to as many women as they think it does, and in the uniform way they think it does (i.e., bigger is always better)” camp, but I’ll simplify that to “size doesn’t matter” for the sake of argument :D
I came to Thunder’s Place because I am a neurotic overachiever, and I felt insecure about my size as a young dude when I knew a girlfriend had had bigger (even though I was big). And I’m here because my narcissistic ego would prefer that I be bigger than ideal for some partners (which I have been, especially after I gained girth by accident) than smaller than ideal for some partners, even though this is really a selfish preference, since the latter women may simply not feel as much pleasure with me as possible, whereas the former may find it downright painful to have sex with me. It’s also an irrational preference even for myself, because with more size I’ve had to deal with worse/shorter blowjobs, less chance of anal (though I don’t care about that), more need for tons of foreplay every time (less ability to fuck spontaneously in weird settings), more need for lube, shorter intercourse before she wears out, longer recovery times before she’s ready to fuck again, etc. With a few women, the additional size has given them even more pleasure, but on the whole, my sex life, for me and my partners, would undoubtedly be better at my former, smaller size.
If I had to name a penis size that might be the optimally useful for good sex with a wide variety of women, it would be something like Firegoat’s signature — 7.5x5.5. And I think average (say, 6x5) would be almost as good for the vast majority of women. But my ego cares about things other than women’s pleasure, or even the quality of sex for me — I feel a stupid need to be King Dick.
I think it’s very similar to bodybuilders who feel the need to create a body that is neither aesthetically/sexually appealing to most women nor functionally useful for most sports or other things in life. They’re doing it for its own sake. They want to be bigger than other guys, and as big as they can get.
Maybe PEers like me, or bodybuilders like that — folks who are aiming for humongous dicks or bodies — really need therapy rather than body changes. I wouldn’t say that’s an unreasonable view :D
