One of the reasons I am a late-learner is my wife is big. She is my only partner, but the partners she has had - apart from one particularly large 8+" experience - have never posed a challenge to her. And like most people she thought she was normal, and never thought my 7"+ 5.5" size was anything more than above average. In fact, she gets quite loose during sex so we both thought the reality was, I just wasn't big enough - not good for my ego and making sex for her ho-hum. Now we discover that not only am I big, but so is she.
The old Karma Sutra outlines three sizes, but gives the impression being small or big has the same chance as being normal. But now seeing all the stats, being small or big is like 2 standard deviations from the mean - like 3-5% of people!! So my wife is a 3-5% percenter just like me Understanding that sex for her is not like sex for most women has been a real revelation to her as much to me and made us look at our sex practices in a new light (with lots of advice taken from these forums - thanks!). For 20 odd years my poor wife has been resigned to the fact that sex was just what it was, but after learning just a little bit about herself, she has become open to learning more about herself with good results. And quite frankly, made things a lot more exciting than they have been in a long time.
In short (no pun intended), understanding how big I am has been a world changing experience. But my wife understanding how big she is has been equally so. I'm still a little dumb-founded that size is not discussed more, especially in sex ed, because everyone thinks they are normal, or less than normal, when in reality there are a large number of people outside this range and don't know it. And awareness is the first step to positive change. These forums are a great support for men, but it is clear to me that women need a similar forum to help build awareness and provide support too.
