Thoughts on the Size Debate

I was drinking last night with Drinking Buddy. As the bartender serving us was also male, we started talking about sex. The bartender said that he hates to use condoms, because they don't make them big enough for equipment. He said that Magnums are long enough but nowhere near wide enough for him, and consequently tend to cut off his circulation.

Drinking Buddy remarked that he's had the same problem----condoms are not big enough to accommodate his girth. Both the bartender and Drinking Buddy played major college football, and are large men overall.

I have no problem using condoms.

It is the nature of men to be very touchy about the size of our penises. A friend of mine kept an anonymous blog on which she would recount her dating haps and mishaps. She told me over drinks that one of her former paramours discovered her blog and read the entries she posted about him. He didn't tell her that he had read them----she knew from the way he behaved towards her. She had written good things and bad things about him but the most devastating entry referred to his penis as being on the small side of average---I think the words she used were along the lines of too small to do any real damage.

The man in question will most likely greet her with a glazed, hostile look whenever they meet in the future.

I had a roommate in college who was still a virgin, and this was after our freshman year. He soon discovered that he was enormous, and crowed about it for weeks.

"She said I was hung like a horse. She asked me if I had a license to carry it."

He prominently displayed his box of Magnums on his nightstand.

Like, I suspect, all men, I have measured myself. I came in between 7 1/4 and 7 1/2---not small, not large, but on the slightly larger side of average. I have had a few women tell me I'm huge, but they have usually been women with comparatively little sexual experience. After an acrimonious breakup with a co-worker, I found out that she had told the other women in the company that I was tiny. I have not dated a co-worker in 13 years. I can live with my equipment.

Mar, who is Japanese, told me that she preferred to date white guys because Asian men had smaller penises. I really didn't like hearing her say that, as it struck me as another example of ethnic self-loathing which is never, ever attractive. Maybe she was referring to her own experiences and meant the comment quite innocently, but I really didn't want to hear her say it and it turned me off.

Bigger, however, is not always better. Most sexually adventurous women I know have a story about having sex with someone who was uncomfortably large. These women don't want to have sex with someone who causes them to feel pain. Not fun pain, but real, honest-to-God pain. Size matters, we all know that, but elephantitis carries its own problems---imagine never being able to receive head. Most of us are within a few inches of eachother and staying power combined with enthusiastic cunnilingus will go a long way toward keeping a woman happy.

Tonight, Suburban Melissa is staying over. Friday, I have Marla. Saturday afternoon/evening is Ginger. I have a busy couple days ahead. I may need pop a Rize pill on Saturday. I will keep you posted.
