How long is your schlong? How thick is your stick? Or, on the flip side, how dinky is your winky? 6.4 inches in length, 5.14 inches in girth (circumference) is condom brand Durex’s rough definition of the “average” penis size. But who gets to decide this? There are thousands of statistics about the “average” penis size, even down to the average size by age-and all these statistics represent attempts to define what an acceptable standard is for men by which to judge their sex lives. It’s almost like the constant frenzy over women’s breasts, except you can’t see a penis (in most cases) through clothes and you can’t surgically enhance overall size (also in most cases.). The general consensus is: the bigger the better. Men define Pamela Anderson (and her chest) as hot, while male figures selected for pornographic movies are chosen based on the ginormousness of their southern members. Setting aside the ever-perplexing arguments of Darwin vs. God and ‘N Sync vs. Backstreet Boys, the “big” debate remains: is bigger really better?
Darwinian theorists might say bigger is better in the sense that females are biologically attracted to the most powerful reproductive features. While this is not proven to be true, there are some individuals who relish the idea of being dominated by a large (shall we say) asset as well as some who enjoy the visual stimulation of viewing a larger attraction. In a heterosexual intimate relationship, it depends on the size of one man’s penis and the ratio of that size to that of the partner’s vagina. It also depends on the woman’s preference for clitoral or direct vaginal stimulation/g-spot stimulation. A penis smaller than “average” could be the perfect size for a certain vagina with shorter vaginal walls and tight vaginal muscles, able to stimulate its g-spot (located a couple of inches inside the vaginal walls) as well as the PC muscles within it, both stimuli for orgasm. Then again, a penis larger than “average” could be a good fit for another vagina-or could cause pain in a vagina too short and tight for its size. If a woman solely pleasures in clitoral excitement, the size of a penis would not matter at all, for a penis does not directly stimulate the clitoral area.
So, at the end of the day, it seems that it all really depends on personal preference and personal physique. Like the question of ‘N Sync or Backstreet Boys, it seems this is one debate that we just can’t resolve, after all.
