Girls, is average becoming the new small?

Hey there! I'm not here very often but I've seen quite a lot of dick size questions lately (you all probably have seen them too, especially if you come more often). I'm by nature a curious person and i am studying to become a urologist. I've noticed that altough the average penis size is something like 5.5 inches (14 centimeters for Europeans here), according to a lot of different studies, the average question is VERY common. Why am I asking girls? Because those are the ones who can objectively judge as they are the ones feeling it. Anyway, after reading some of the topics, I finally decided to create one. It seems average guys are worried because a lot of women here or anywhere prefer above average dicks, like 6.5-7 inches (some even more). So they're asking: why isn't not enough if it's considered average in the first place right? What is your take on this? It's not about me, I am absolutely not insecure about anything but it makes me very curious and human psychology fascinates me in every way. So average guys, also read this and I hope women will comment so we can debate or at least try, in a very serious way. Because it might hurt certain people to joke about it. BOTTOM LINE IS: from a physical perspective only (let's put technique aside for a moment will you), WHY is the AVERAGE penis size is sometimes (or often?) put in the smaller category and seems not to get the job done based on numerous topics I have read? Are women trolling just to get on guys' nerves? Or is it simply true that average is just good enough? I think we need ONE topic to FINALLY cover that thing once and for all and avoid 5 or 10 more questions later today on the same exact topic. Be honest people, we're all human beings with emotions but honesty is always the key! Wish a great day to each and everyone of you! T.

  • Honestly I don't judge guys dick sizes. I have small boobs and a flat butt so I can't really judge a guys dick size, its not something they are able to choose anyway. Aesthetically speaking, I think large penis' are more attractive so to speak but back in the renaissance era, having a small penis was lusted over aesthetically. When it comes down to function it really doesn't matter. I would rather have an average dick thats a bit thicker than a long dick thats skinny. But above all none of that matters if he does not know how to please me.

    • Would you consider average to be on the small side?

    • No, not at all. Honestly I have no clue what average really looks like. I can always tell when i see a larger penis, but as far as a "normal" one I can't tell how big it is by just looking at it at all, so to me there's not really a such thing as a small, unless its noticeably small, like two inches or so, but thats very uncommon. So as long as its over like three/four inches its normal for me. Its hard to explain but a lot of guys I've been with don't measure their length or dont tell me what the measurement is, so I really have no clue. But I've never considered someone who I assume is around 5 inches small.

  • Like you said there are a LOT of penis questions and we seriously cannot tell. Like we don't get out a measuring tape every time a guy whips it out for us. So a lot of girls will just troll on those posts. We don't even care what size a guy is as long as he's fun to be with and does his part. It's that easy ;)

    • It's true and i think that "trolling thing", although it's done with humour, can hurt some guys' feelings and maybe that's why those questions are so common here. That's why I believe people should take this very seriously and debate without using sarcasm and without judging each other. I don't like when women make fun of guys but I also don't like when guys judge girls for their preferences either. It's all about respect and honesty. And sharing experiences is the best way to cover that topic in a positive way. Thank you for your comment by the way ;-)

    • A lot of us do start out with respect and honesty and tell guys "hey you're great the way you are just be a giving and considerate lover and you'll do great" And they don't believe us and argue on and on how we're wrong. So we stop. I've been here six months and do you know how many guys said "wow thanks that makes me feel better." ONE. All of the other ones argued with me and told me I couldn't possibly know what I enjoyed. So think real hard on that before you tell people how they should and shouldn't be commenting.

    • I agree with you (funny because I thought your last sentence was for me lol) But why, if you tell an average guy, he's absolutely fine... why doesn't he believe you? IF YOU, a woman with experience, tell him that average is good, i don't get why he's still not happy with the answer. I think the word "average" itself might be considered "pejorative" by guys. Maybe if a woman tells a man "yes, it's average", maybe that man will think: "okay, that's a polite way for saying you're not ideal, you're not good but hey, you're not THAT bad". I think (again as a man here) that might explain why some of them still feel bad about it.

  • I feel like it's mostly guys who are all like "I'M 9 INCHES I AM BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE!!! RAWWWRRRRH UHDUEWHIUWIJNCWERRR"
    and meanwhile us girls are just like... "um that is not a normal human sized penis either you are lying or you are a horse who can type..."
    Average is better because you don't have to worry as much about it hitting your cervix which is always nice.

  • Every time I've seen these questions (and you're right, it's a LOT) the overwhelming majority of women say average is great and they'd be willing to work with a guy of unusual size if they loved him. So there are some size queens, and that's their thing - no point shaming them for being turned on by really big guys. Just those of you who are average (and are in the majority) should keep on dating those of us who aren't size queens (and are in the majority).

    • I thought on this website it was 50/50 based on polls, a lot of women prefer more than a 5.5 guy. Or maybe it is this website I don't know lol. Lots of topics about it and it's true, the 6-7 range is always winning (which I can understand although i am average size)

    • A lot of the polls that have been posted say "what is your ideal size" and I am boxed into picking one. So yes I have an ideal size which might be at the larger size of average -all other things being equal. But tbh, I really dont care all that much about getting a guy with my ideal size. If I had a checklist for picking the perfect guy for me, well no one will fill every criteria and having the ideal penis size is very low on the list.

    • Do you understand why a man would feel "less manly" being average compared to a larger guy? Or do you think that feeling would make no sense when it comes to "masculinity"?

  • Average just means that's what is most commonly found. It has little to do with what we actually prefer. You could get an average ice cream. Or you could take the extra money and time to go find an awesome Gelato place. But either way your still going to enjoy it right? Just one maybe a little more so. An average dick (5.4") is enough to get the job done. But some girls would rather have a bigger dick. It's just personal preference. We get a lot of shit for liking big dicks. It hurts guys feelings I think when someone says they don't prefer an averaged size dick. I like 6-8 inches. I know its not common I'll find one and u understand that. I also know that I'd rather be with someone who had a 5" dick but I connect with than a 8" one but I hate the guy.
    They don't like to feel like we are settling for something less than ideal.
    guess what? Everyone has to.
    An average dick is enough. It may not be preferable, but it's enough and thats all that matters right?

    • A very honest answer to this topic and you took the time to explain your opinion. And people shouldn't judge, that's for sure. Everybody has their preferences. I also don't understand why average guys feel insecure because from what I believe (as a man), I think average is a good size and nothing to be ashamed of. But again, with the porn industry and the "bigger the better" motto, I guess guys don't even know what to think anymore. I think the main problem is that a man with an average, acceptable size will feel LESS MANLY than a guy with a bigger dick. And that is an ego thing. Again, I think it has nothing to do with what makes "a real man". So many aspects to discuss lol. Hopefully other members will share their opinions as well and we'll get more answers. Thank you for your comment and honesty! :)

  • what is "average" and fullfill a women has been spoken by men. Now, that women are a lot more open sexually and talk to their girls about sex, penis sizes. Women themsleves have created what is average or what they like other than what men and society tell them to like. Plus, that whole the g spot is 2 inches inside the vagina is a myth and penis size depends on the girl. But univerally I think we all agree girth is very very important

    • So for you personally is average actually a good size? How would you rate it? (average being 5.5 inches)

    • 5.5 inches is to me more on the small size. 6.5 to me is average to 7.5 and anything bigger is big. Not saying its not a good size if the girth is good and he can work it and has stamina than we can talk. But if its just a hookup size matters if its a relationship than size won't matter as much if their is chemistry.

  • I don't really know how dicks look like in real.. but from what I see here on gag.. average is good..

  • My partner is average and his size satisfies me! What's wrong with average guys worrying about being 5.5? It's a good size. Why do they worry about it?

  • The average is a beg wide range of sizes.

    • I'm not native sorry what does it mean?

    • Average I mean 5.5 inches (reported average size on numerous studies)

  • I think a lot of girls on GAG have little sexual experience so they just say the most sensational things they've heard as their preferences, honestly.

    • So is average actually a good size? How would you rate it?

    • So many more things matter than size - attraction and chemistry, technique, foreplay, connection, communication, etc. Sex can be good or bad with a guy with an average penis for this reason.
