Describing penis size

[jehoram]

In my stories, I've tried to stay away from rulers and such, and use something like "his cock was less than my hand-span, so I knew I could accommodate it." I think I picked that up from somebody else's writing, but it made sense to me that somebody would think in those terms.

It swung heavy between his thighs like the metal clapper of a giant bell, and when it struck her flesh it went Dong! Dong! Dong!

Was that one of my stories? I think I used that somewhere. ("The Dorm Mother"?) I know I've used it IRL to evaluate whether a boner would push too much on my cervix, and it seems inevitable that I would have used that in one story or another.

For references to girth, I've compared penis size to that of household objects like hairbrush handles or toilet-paper hubs, and whether the lover could put a cock through the space formed by touching thumb to first finger. But no rulers or tape measures, please.

Average vagina depth is 3 inches unaroused and 4.5 inches aroused, which actually leaves 2 unused inches of cock. Probably more, actually, since bottoming out is often not the most pleasant approach.

Hmm... well I have never had a problem with entering a woman fully and she never complained. Now I'm not all that long, 6 1/2 inches, but I'm very thick.

My wife, never had a complaint about length, just my width. She even loved to sit on it and let it slip and slide across her cervix.

And all the other women I have been with, even some of the ladies in Korea, were able to take all of me. And they all could have taken more I'm sure.

That reminds me: I wrote a story some years back, where the cock of the man grew up to 3 foot during sex, and also the vagina of his partner. Of course this was a fantasy setting. In the end he could see his glans through her open mouth going up and down inside her throat, and during cumming all the juices were oozing out her mouth... lol!

So, he stabbed right through he vagina and somehow through her stomach to come up her throat. I bet there was a lot of blood as the two pieces of anatomy aren't even connected. Did she die after her orgams?

If there is only one penis in the story, I don’t usually give any description, leaving it to the reader’s imagination. If there are multiple penii, I will often give some little bit of description, just to add variety.

Position matters. Common positions like missionary and doggy style do not achieve full penetration due to angle and others bits of biology, thus making it useful to have a longer penis than vagina.

Hence, when lesbians wish to rub pussies, scissoring while at 180 deg is an enjoyable approach. However, such a position would make thrusting a challenge, and pleasurable angling of the penis difficult as well... I mean, try it though and report back. My guess is arousal might be dampened due to discomfort and one may not maintain a max length erection. Once inside, how do you know?

Regardless of personal experiences and inference, the matter has been studied objectively and the findings shared. When presented with such evidence that my personal experience might not support, my first reaction is to evaluate the differences between the lab and reality. In reality, a cock is never really going straight in a vagina, and angles matter.

Edited to add:
Also, neither a cock nor a vagina are particularly rigid, which means the elastic deformation occurs on impact. Imagine slamming a rubber dildo into, I don't know, an inflatable mattress? Despite the nominal measurements of both, compression and deflection occur to allow for more thrusting distance than if both were made of wood, for example.

Since most people have sex by thrusting, and not pushing in and stopping, you can get momentary more penetration than nominal. Take a glass dildo and insert it to the same depth, slowly and hold, and I expect different results.

Mary Roach and her husband participated in such an experiment and reported it in her book "Bonk."

She found it not very erotic, to nobody's surprise. I remember her saying that as the experiment concluded, the tech told her husband "You may ejaculate now."

I think that "Bonk" should be required reading for any person interested in the science of sex.

Wait! Are you telling me that my 18" long penis is too big?

Her pianist hands could stretch a full octave but his bassoon left her short by a quaver and hoping he'd go lento legato or she'd end up screaming A sharp major. I guess the flip side would be his piccolo wouldn't have her whistling Dixie any time soon.

Nice one, SG.

OK, so, after reading this, how many guys did the thumb to forefinger test? Mine looked odd because I have arthritis in my fingers....

Much. Put it back in the cabinet.

That seems a waste. Why not chop it up and make some money at the Flea Market? Save 3 inches for personal use and sell the rest by the inch

Thanks, that was a fascinating little article and I really appreciated the image. Now, though, I want more images of many different sizes and positions so that we can get a really fully developed sense of just what is going where. And, along with each image, a description from each participant of how it felt. Too bad it's not possible to get video, I'd be fascinated to know the elastic response time of all the body organs involved. I have no idea what functional value that knowledge could have, but that's science right? Find out things now, then later engineers figure out how to use it, lol.

This is a pet peeve of mine. People need to know the difference between diameter and circumference. Diameter is across or the width. Circumference is around. Example someone saying a guy had a thick cock that was 4 inches around. When they really mean across. Unless it's a fantasy story then 4 inches wide is ridiculous.

While I am on the subject of size. "Realistic" stories where someone takes a huge cock in their ass with spit or no lube. It's a little painful but they soon enjoy it. I call bullshit on that.

4 inches wide sounds like a trip to the emergency room. I didn't think I needed a new pet peeve but I think I just acquired one.

I have felt like saying that to a lover more times than I can count. But it's always seemed crass to tell him, "Now I'm done. You should be, too."

Describing penis size​

1. A polite smile.
2. "Wow that's almost as big as Mike's."
3. "Yippee-ki-yay, that thing is as big as Mike's."

What makes me click back quicker that lightning is measurements of anatomy.

"He had a 14 inch cock and it felt good."

Horseshit, first of all he would only be able to get about 8 inches in before rupturing her vagina. Click back.

"She had 44DDDD tits."

Was she laying face down on the floor? Click back.

Men have average or above average cocks.

Women had a nice handful. Either breasts or ass.

There is an old saying, the average size of a male member is 6 inches. The average depth of a vagina is 8 inches. That leaves an average of 2 x (number of women in the world) = The number of unused inches of vagina.

I tried. My cabinets are only 12" deep!

Finally got my "like" button, and a proper LOL emoji.

If penii isn't the plural of penis, it should be.

Go for the metaphor.

It seems to be quite the popular approach among writers here to leave out as much physical description of character as possible (see my recent thread on the issue). Why? Isn't physical appearance an integral part of characterization? Why miss the chance to round out your characters?
