How big is the average dildo?

I heard somewhere that the average dildo is like 7 inches long. If that really is true then do you think this contributes to guys insecurities about penis size? Why would the manufacturers make them so long when the average penis is only like 5-6 inches? If you have one then how long is yours? How come you chose the length that you did?

  • Dildos have two measurable lengths, the first is just called length, the second is insertable length. Average length is around 7 or 8, insertable length is typically 5-6. And what they are rated for does not equal what they are able to do. for example, I like larger penises, as a personal preference, so when I ordered mine I got an 8inch, with insertable of 7, reality hit when it showed up, I used it a bit and was disappointed as it was only truly insertable to about 5.5 due to its shape closer to the base which just brought up solid when trying to for it in.. rather sad actually.

  • Well you know the girl has to have a part of it to hold onto...you don't just stick it in there. And guys being insecure because of a peice of plastic that in no way could compare to the real thing confuses the heck out of me. People need to just calm down. Mine's 5.

    • Did a friend buy it for you?

    • Nope...what do you think GAG Amazon giftcards are for?

    • haha. Well I just assumed you had to be 18 or older to buy one.

    • Show All
  • Yes it is usually around 7. I've had four or five and they all have Ben from 7-7.5, if you think about it it's because we need something to hold onto. We are the one controlling it after all. I chose them because it gives me something to have a good grip on.

    • Where they all named Ben?

    • @Blueeyes81 and it's was they all have been around*

    • But no they weren't all named Ben lol I have a Steve and an Ed ATM lol

  • It speaks to guys with insecurities for two reasons. One, the fact that they are so stressed about their penis to begin with means that anything not to their liking is going to sting. And this carries over into the second part which is: Practicality. Being too wrapped up in their own anxiety, those dudes (and many without this insecurity) fail to realize that you have to hold onto the thing somewhere, so you need that extra room for hand placement ;)

    Fascinating, isn't it?

  • My ex has one and it was well over 9 inches. If you think about it who would buy a 6-7 inch dildo most women want what they can't have or don't have.

    I know vibrators are smaller but they perform a function differently.

    The guys who fear the dildo need to learn to step up their game. If you are afraid of a dildo taking over then you really have a problem or lack of confidence.

  • I'm not sure if dildos are like penises, meaning that there's an average... I think they make a lot in all different shapes and sizes. But as far as those that are used, the sizes are probably close to the average real penis size. Just my guess.

  • honestly I think 4-5 inches would be totally fine for me.. but remember you also have to have something to hold onto. what matters most is how thick it is, if its too long it just doeisnt go in all the way that's all there is too it :P

  • 6-8 inches

    • didn't know this freaky side of you lol

    • That I can answer a question?

  • i have one and it's 8 inches long

  • The most popular size sold has an -insertable- length of just under 6".

  • Why do they make them so long? Easy answer. Women are size centric.

    What's the average height? Do women prefer the average height?

    What's the average salary? Do women prefer men make an average salary?

    What's an average guy look like? Do women prefer an average looking guy?

    What's an average physique look like? Do women prefer the average physique?

    • not necessarily

    • The above-average things are NOT always preferred by women. For example, big nose, mouth, or ears might be ugly and not preferred. instead, average mouth, nose, ears size is the most preferred. So, you can't say that women prefer above-average penis size just because they prefer above-average man height.

  • Well.. Because we want it long and black. I personally love it when a Man stick it between my toes

  • the things that are above the average are not necessarily preferred by girls. For example, if someone has a big nose, big mouth, or big ears which is above the average, it may look ugly and not preferred. So you can't say that the average woman prefer above-average penis just because she prefers above average height.

  • yeah its around 7 inches. why? because women like big d***s hence why they don't sale small dildos

  • Because what women want and what some guys actually have are two different things. Its just the way it is. Manufacturers are gonna make what pleases women the most, not worry about what a guy with a smaller penis will feel insecure by

    • So you're saying that women want big penises?

  • My husband got me the dildo kit and we made a dildo from a mold of his d*** so it’s abut 7 but only 5 really go’s in me and it’s just like his d*** I love it they male it longer because the part that doesn’t go it is where the batters and motor are some girls can take it all the way to the end but I am not one of them

    • If you look online at a toy store and reed about the dildos it said 7? and 6? for penetration or worded similar

  • they are all measured differently so you can't really say the average size is X inches. 1st & 2nd girls summed it up pretty well

  • Maybe they're a bit longer than average so that the girl can actually hold on to the end of it and use it? I've still never used one but it might be kinda hard to manage if it just fits

    • Common sense speaks!

    • This is it exactly. A penis has this attachment, called a MAN, who operates the penis. A dildo lacks this attachment, and so it needs a "handle" so that the woman can operate it on her own.
