Far be it from me to deny my neuroses…
But from anecdotal (oh god, that can of worms again) experience and hearsay, I still find it difficult to avoid the conclusion that anything under 6” is considered quite small out in the real world. I know what the studies say; they may in fact be correct; I would like to believe they are. But I don’t believe they reflect the experience of sexually active women in our culture, and that is really what matters - in the real world.
Check out the on line personals sometime. Sure, smaller guys are not going to be advertising their dicks, and so may seem under-represented…but, the number of HUGE dicks out there, on Craigslist, in any city, is enough to give you pause. And no matter what the statistical average is, if a woman has experienced a few of these monsters, 5.88” is always, in her mind, going to be “small.”
