Describing penis size

[Djmac1031]

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.

I'm really trying to get away from exact descriptors myself; it becomes tedious and often, ridiculous.

I very rarely use actual bra sizes anymore and all my male characters are decently proportioned but not unrealistically so.

 

[Lovecraft_Lore]

People always want to know how many penii there are, how big each of them are, what color, how veiny they are. If a character has two penises, either because they have Diphallia, or are a were-shark, or have been partially changed by an Eldredge abomination into a human alien chimera, people want to know about it early in the story.

They want both penises individually described in detail. It is normally best to start out with a Shakespearian quote such as 'Two penii, Both Alike In Dignity'

Different folks are aroused by different strokes in either writing or reading in this regard. And then there are others who can't mind their own business and insist on imposing what arousing them on everyone else.

I'm only glad there's a Men's Clinic NJ these days that can at least fix the ugliness of our penises.

Ugliness? Oh, dear.

I hope you wouldn't use that term for vulvae.

In no case is the plural of penis "penii". It's faux Latin, and a cringy error to anyone who studied the language. In the nominative and accusative cases (sentence subject and verb object, respectively), the plural is "penes" in Latin, and of course "penises" in English.

In Latin, the origin of the English word "penis", although the Latin tribes probably derived it from the Etruscan language, it's a third-declension noun, and it follows the usual pattern in all of its singular and plural forms.

It was a joke, not meant to be taken seriously. She's never studied Latin in her life. The point was the erotic potential with tile mosaics, not the word use, but never mind - that went through to the keeper.

Appreciate the language lesson. Even if the ‘i’ ending were correct, I would suggest the spelling should be ‘peni.’ After all, the plural of cactus is cacti and not cactii.

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

I have a 14 inch cock. In centimetres.

I describe them as grotesque, ugly things hanging between men's legs which should be removed, along with accompanying unattractive nuts in a sack, for aesthetic sake. Um maybe I don't but I want to sometimes.

You're letting your prejudices show again, Millie. How to alienate half the human race in one short sentence, as well as women who like men?

I like many men, just not for certain activities.

Fair enough .

Ah, the opposite view to sexologist Lucy from my story Metamorphoses, who says:

"Now, I know what you're going to say: girls don't just grow cocks like that -- especially not insatiable eight-inch beauties like Daphne now has. Yes, yes, I say beauties, because -- well, it is beautiful. Actually, cocks are beautiful. Especially when surrounded by female flesh. Okay, I admit it, I used to fuck guys. But then I stopped fucking guys -- not because I didn't like their cocks, but because I decided I couldn't stand the specimens of humanity who sported them. Well, a few of them anyway -- but that was enough."

 

[lc69hunter]

I was involved in the cuckold lifestyle for many years, as the boyfriend/bull/whatever you want to call it. I am only a small bit above average ( a little under 7" and average girth) I saw small cocks, I saw most near my size, and saw some surprisingly quite a bit larger than I. I see no sense in describing in great detail, and the stories with the 12" cock, give me a fucking break, just like 44DDD tits, they do not exist.

 

[Smuttyandfun]

I wrote one story, kind of a farce, called 'Sharing with the Office." The young guy in the story is hung like a horse and is more than happy to take care of all his co-workers. His last name is Wilkinson, and when his grandfather who owns the company, catches him fooling around, he sits him down and explains that all the men in their family have inherited "The Wilkinson Sword," but he should think a little more about how he uses it. Luckily, most of the readers knew it was meant to be funny while poking a little fun at all the huge cock stories.

 

[davion2308]

I mean, I really don't. I leave it to the reader and that may be an issue.

I'll use words like 'thick' or 'big' or even 'stubby' or 'short.' I'm not one for specific measurements, breasts, dicks, or whatever. I prefer to describe how hard a guy's dick is because that strikes a chord more than just some numeric values.

 

[BobbyBrandt]

He grinned at her nervousness, and asked, "Do you know what a man with a 13-inch cock has for breakfast?"

She blushed as she shook her head and replied, "I suppose he can have anything that he wants."

"That's true," he said. "This morning, I had a cinnamon roll."

 

[Imstillfun]

i usually just say bigger than average. As a swinger I saw lots of (what’s the plural of penis). My husband was often the biggest in the room.. I rarely use the big cock thing. I did in my Halloween story, got a nasty comment that I resorted to big cocks, not understanding that these were demons in the story and could be anything.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Peniss, penum, penises, Um lot of penis.

[jehoram]

Size is just a number. Think of things like shape, whether cut or uncut, size and shape of the glans... lots of ways to make it more than a measure of length or girth.

Same rule applies when describing a woman's breasts. Look for the details that make that particular thing different from others, rather than rattling off a cup and band size. And pussies... shaved or not? Big thigh gap or none? Visible inner labia or not?

Celebrate our differences.

29". Worn slung over left shoulder, as otherwise I risk standing on the end.

 

[purvis2]

This is why we should go metric. Is it 5 inches of 12.7 centimeters!

 

[purvis2]

I have a 14 inch cock. In centimetres.

If we pushed for metric in the US using this "reasoning" we would be using the metric system right now!

 

[Britva415]

I don't describe penis size at all.

I might some day but nine stories in, I haven't felt the need. There would have to be a good reason.

And even then I'd probably only describe it in relation to something else. "Tight pussy" is fine, I don't need to measure it.

"My dick strained her inch and seven thirty-seconds diameter channel. When I bottomed out at her five and three quarters inch depths, I didn't know what to do with the other quarter of my inches. Neither did she."

 

[TadOverdon]

IWhen I bottomed out at her five and three quarters inch depths, I didn't know what to do with the other quarter of my inches. Neither did she."

Hmm. Frame it? Maybe a nice doily.
