Why do men really believe woman prefer larger penises?

First of all this isn't a "does size matter" question, we already have a surplus of those. What I want to know is why do GUYS think it matters to girls?

  • The way I see it, there's a kind of "bell curve" distribution pattern that correlates penis size with female sexual pleasure.

    On one end of the curve, you got the micropenises/ small dicks, which provide little pleasure to the woman.

    On the other end of the curve, you got the mega-cocks. Those are basically only pleasurable to pornstars who spent months preparing themselves physically and mentally for it, and even then many of those pornstar girls/ nymphos prefer that their steady boyfriends to NOT have monster dick. Many girls who haven't experienced the reality of the monster dick THINK they want it, but when they actually get it they realise it's a "careful what you wish for" deal. Not to mention guys with XXL penises often can't get full erections for any good amount of time, coz the circulation to the penis is simply not sufficient for the size of it.

    And then towards the middle of the distribution curve, you got the penises that range from "a bit below average" to "somewhat above average". This is the vast majority of men who neither possess micropenises or monster cocks, but rather are just somewhere in the "normal" range for size. This range tends to correlate with the greatest all-around sexual pleasure for female sex partners.

    After all, it makes sense that nature would evolve us over time to have an average penis size that optimally reflects the average vagina size (except women's "size" is all on the inside, so it's not immediately visible).

    Monster dicks are not a "safe bet" when looked at through the evolutionary lens. They require a lot of blood circulation to become fully erect, and don't confer any real advantage to survival and reproduction over an average size penis.

    If anything, the extra size is mainly just a psychological boost for the female partner, and maybe an ego boost for the guy. She might have a fetish about "worshipping" a big dick, but as far as the sexual functioning of her reproductive organs are concerned, all that extra length only really equates to added pressure along the vaginal wall, and with the potential of hitting the cervix and causing a moderate to strong amount of pain (ouch!). Most of her nerve endings are concentrated around the clitoris and the opening of the vulva, anyways. At a certain point, penis length hits diminishing returns in terms of her physical pleasure.

    Then again, sexual stimulation comes from the BRAIN above all else, so in that sense no two women will experience the same dick the same exact way. The guy's size, shape, and technique could be identical... but two women with two different brains will EXPERIENCE it differently.

    So yes, SOME women may be "wired" in such a way that ONLY a 10" dick or bigger can get them off during sex and/or foreplay. But that's more a reflection of how that woman interprets certain sexual stimuli on a mental/ emotional level... rather than anything objective about "bigger is better".

    Most women can find optimal sexual fulfilment and enjoyment from penises that fall within the median range of the size distribution curve.

    At both the "X-large" and "X-small" extremities, women's sexual satisfaction falls off steeply and rapidly-- even though a minority of women may be effectively "trained" to tolerate unusually large penises, and another minority of women may enjoy sex with a small-penis guy because of the other ways he's able to pleasure her (eg: he may compensate by using toys, fingers, mouth etc).

    And of course, we can't discount the HUMAN BEING attached to the penis, regardless what size it is. If she really loves her man, then penis size could become proportionally less important to her... as other qualities he possesses take precedence in her sexual attraction to him.

  • It's quite clear that many women do not prefer larger penises -- but on the other hand, most girls don't want smaller ones either !

    Guys who proudly proclaim their 8 - 9+ inches probably don't realise the majority of girls (I stress 'the majority') are not probably feel daunted at the prospect of that size penetrating them

    I'm pleased mine is in between (bigger than average at just over 7" but not, I think, especially "big") and I have been told by a I've number of girls I've been sexual with that 'it's a good size, not too small, not too big' !

    And tbh, I'd hate it to be any longer because I think it'd be weird and not pleasurably enjoyable if the whole length couldn't get inside the girl I'm making sexual love with 🍑🍆

    But it's undeniable that most males do want to be "big" down there, perhaps we subconsciously, or even consciously, believe it is a better look aesthetically?

    • Thanks @purplepoppy for the MHO 🌹

  • Its porn and its the same reason why guys think that jack hammering is the best way to fuck a girl. Porn dicks are 9+ inches long and somehow the girls can take them balls-deep. Some women can take foot long dicks and it seems like every girl in porn is one of them and guys see that and hear the girl yelling deeper when its 9 inchs in and think that its normal. Its crazy when I use a dildo after about 6-7 inch it hits the back of my vagina. For me after a dick is about 6 inch I only want it to be thicker not longer.

    • So what would you think of 4 inches

  • Guys look at porn and see all those big dicks and think... OMG my dick isn't that big, I need a bigger dick if I'm going to make a woman happy like Mr Long Dong Silver dose :(
    They fail to understand however that the guys in porn are IN porn Because of their abnormally large dicks. Most women don't Need something that big to be satisfied, and if the guys dick is too big it can be quite painful.

  • Really glad you posted. I wasn't sure how me asking would be taken. I didn't want to offend the fine ladies and awful bastards of G@G.

    Kidding... most of the dudes are cool.

    • "awful bastards of G@G" actually I took that as a compliment.

    • @Passinggas well I wasn't kidding about you LOL.

  • You mentioned yourself that girls won't buy dildos under 6". I don't think every girl wants a porn dick, I just think almost no girl wants a small dick and the vast majority prefer 6-7" inside them but also like the look of bigger dicks judging by one of girl's top porn searches being monster dick.

  • To be honest. When I've talked to girls they always say they prefer the guy with the avarage-smaller penis because they know what to do with it.

    When they do it with men with bigger ones they say its just uncomfortble and painful and that they dont do much cause they suspect women will like them in bed regardless due to size.

    This is not my own experince cause I could not know but it is what the women around me has said. It's kinda like looking at a bigger one might be more appealing like looking at really big silicone boobs is appealing but you might not like the feeling.

  • Same reason that women think that all men prefer big boobs.

    • Many men will proudly announce that they prefer small boobs. Can women say the same for dicks?

    • @Boppy In my experience, most men will not proudly proclaim that they prefer small boobs because the response to that comment will be something like, "Oh, you like them to look like they're underage. You must be a pedo." I know because I have had that response when I said that I prefer small boobs. Insecure guys who want to project a macho image will talk for hours about big boobs because they think that makes them sound manly. Between those loudmouths and the media's obsession with big boobs, girls think that is a universal preference of guys. There are a small minority of women who are size queens and they will talk about it because they think it makes them sound sexually experienced or progressive. You don't hear very many women say that they prefer guys who are normal size because they are afraid of large guys hurting them, or they think that large guys have a ego to match, or because they have experienced large and it really wasn't better. So what guys hear is the size queens talking and, of course, they see Harry The Horse in porn and they think 9" is normal.

    • Interesting. I guess openness about boob preferences is a cultural thing. It's a-ok to prefer small boobs, or just to not care about boobs of any size and say you're an "ass man" in my hometown. I understand that size queens are a small minority, but most women I know (who aren't lesbian) and most scientific data (usually sourced from college students in California) showed a preference for larger-than average dicks. Porn does throw a wrench in the mix, for sure. The study I mentioned above was using 3d models, but when asked to pick from a bunch of written options, people thought the average size was bigger than it really is. I think it's probably more difficult for someone to admit they prefer 5" dicks if they think the average size is 6"-7".

    • Show All
  • Probably because some women do prefer large penises, and are vocal about it.

  • I think it's more a competition with other men. We each want to stand out in women's minds as the guy they go to if they want to be pushed into orgasm. And having a huge cock is assumed to be the way to both stand out and advantageous when it comes to the reliable delivery of pleasure.

  • Because of porn

  • It is true. The majority of women prefer a larger penis. They like the feel full and stretched.

  • Because men are afraid they have a micro penis compared to 12 inch guys and when a woman sees their smaller penis they will no longer want to have sex with the guy

  • Maybe because of posts of yours like this one. (My favorite line: "Girls we've all been there. A guy drops his shorts and your heart sinks.")

    What's the smallest penis that won't keep slipping out? ↗

  • Does it not feel better to be filled fully?
    I've always heard that.

  • Because everyone keeps talking about them. Kind of like obsessing on Russian Collusion

  • Maybe because society says it matters. Small penises are used as an insult or cause for laughter.

  • It doesn’t matter to most that are small themselves and/or are into clitoral orgasm via pounding mostly. However, vaginal orgasm women with decent depth are picky about size and these women tend to seek out taller guys hoping the size matches the height and if a tall guy has a small one, that is a double let down. I think about 30% of women are vaginal o. Also, most women haven’t had a huge one because statistically they are 1 in 32000+ and most women don’t screw 32000 men or do they? So they don’t really know if they like it or not.

    • They make dildos that are huge. I'll note that the (anterior?) vaginal fornix is also called the 'O-spot' and that''s a whole flavor of orgasm to miss out on.

    • @Boppy Regardless, the curiosity remains for her if tech can replace huge semen/rope-shooting flesh attached to the dick keeper to which she has emotionally bonded and instinctively desiring to mate with huge and his associated personality traits. That deep full orgasm is much more complex than mechanical tech.

    • So there's hope until sex toys are made for relationships with AI?

  • WTF.

    IT WAS YOU WHO SAID THAT.
    IT WAS YOU WHO SAID THAT.
  • Porn. Every woman alive could come out and say large is not their preference and it would change nothing.

  • There's a few factors involved. One is that there really are some size queens out there.
    Second most guys have only seen other guys in porn so even big guys sometimes think that they're just average. Even if they know intellectually that they're not, it's hard not to compare and contrast.
    Third if you go into any sex store the average size of insertables are much bigger than the average guy. This indicates a propensity for size.
    Fourth girls talk about size, amd guys over hear. "did you hear about _____ he's tiny..." "OMG, are you serious?" Etc. I'm on one end of the spectrum and I have certainly been brought up multiple times at parties etc. Sometimes even when I'm in earshot. (I'll just say I "acted" in a couple of porn films).
    With all of this is it really any wonder why guys have issues with this?

  • Porn

  • Because they do. A bigger dick feels better for them. Needs to fill them up.

  • None of the above. Its because guys who are average get shamed by women who are size queens.. You know the type, the ones that say "unless you're 6 foot 5 inches and at least 10 inches long dont talk to me"
