This whole thread is a lesson in why a man should never ask a woman about the size
of her ex's cocks.
OP - I hope you and your missus work it out. Tbh, you have more patience and understanding than I do. If I was with a woman who wasn't into having her pissy eaten and saw it as unhygienic AND on top of that she had told me, in not so many words, I wasn't as good in bed as her ex, then I think I would have ended the relationship a long time ago. You're obviously a decent guy and also, it seems, pretty secure in yourself to be able to be told these things and maintain your desire for her

"You wanna know the truth? You can't handle the truth!"
I have asked. It is an exercise in self security and an invitation to polite lies and/or misgivings. It is asking for a host of problems or the slim possibility of shallow validation. If you get the answer you want, will you accept/believe it? If you get the answer you don't want, what will you do/say/feel?
It's not whether to ask or not. It is to genuinely not care enough to ask. That is the goal. I have not achieved it.
The best solution is to find a woman with a small vagina. (Insert silly emoji here)
Thanks for responding, really glad for all the replies.
OK, here goes: I knew her ex, we were acquaintances & played on the same soccer team. EVERYBODY on the team knew he was very well hung because we showered together. In my early 20s that meant nothing to me - I stupidly assumed that if a woman was orgasming, it was like when we guys do - an orgasm is an orgasm is an orgasm. My gf didn't come outright & say he was better because he was bigger - that path took 15 years to get to. In the beginning, she merely said he hadn't been able to enter their first 4 attempts & when he did it was 'fucking' painful & put her off sex. But because she loved him, they carried on trying until he got in. And then after several attempts, she started to enjoy it.
The truth came out one day when a woman I work with who is a SQ said in a discussion in the office: 'Bigger is always better unless it's too big, and not many guys are too big.' I asked her to clarify & she said: 'Unless you're a woman who has had sex with a very well hung guy & enjoyed it, you just won't understand. It's sort of a conspiracy of silence among women who've had sex with huge guys.'
I was intrigued, and for the first time, I was curious about my gf's experiences with her ex. So I outright asked her & because I had NEVER before show any insecurity about size & performance, she just outright said: 'Yes, bigger is better. You feel more, it hits more spots, it stretches & makes you feel full, the friction is better & when he hits the back wall, it's like you've died and gone to heaven.' Were the orgasms better, I asked her, and she said: 'Yes, they were cervical. They caused tingling and goosebumps all over my body & left me 'out of it' for several minutes after.' Considering that after her clitoral orgasms with me, she gets straight up & makes coffee - well, that said it all.
As soon as she told me this, she realized I was quite shocked & immediately started backtracking, saying even though he physically filled her, I emotionally fill her & emotional to her is far more important than physical. That just made things worse. I went into a downward spiral of negativity, not wanting sex, becoming ashamed of being naked in front of her & of regarding myself as less of a man to her, and all other men & women. It was really debilitating. But I slowly came round, accepting that was her past, although I have to say sites like LPSG have really helped me. I find it's far better for me talking to guys with the opposite problem. Guys who are small and accept themselves by going into SPH - well, I respect their decision, but it's not for me. I can't delight in being 'small average'.
As background, I should add that my gf is my soulmate. I love her more than anyone else I've been with. But I realized from the start that sex isn't her 'thing'. Despite her experiences with her ex, she sees sex as completely emotional. In the beginning of our relationship, I told her I was worried that she wasn't highly sexed like me, and she assured me she likes sex as much as the next woman. But the truth is I have never seen her truly lustful & that has left a void. I want to see her want me for my cock, and I'm haunted by the fact that she might have felt that way about her ex because of his size, but of course I will never know the truth now. She has completely clamped up about her past experiences.
I hope that gives you a bit more context.
Eat her pussy and fuck her like you're going to die tomorrow every time you have sex and your cock size will not be an issue.
I fall in the realm of average and have never found a hole that I couldn't work with. Sometimes you hit bottom and sometimes you don't. Some women like that and some don't. But if you use everything on the menu then everyone usually leaves satisfied.
She may not be into sex as much as you would like. That's been an issue for me before and it did foster self doubt. (How silly, right?) I would guess that sex is not a big deal to her and being better in bed will not change that, unless you are awful, which you, obviously, are not.
You are going to have to let up on her since she has "clammed up," if you are to have any hope in informative dialogue in the future. I think you are going to be ok. Keep trying. You know what to do.
Guys equate bigger with better. As I understand it women don't place such a premium on size in general. However your GF has now let you know two things. One-the big size brings more pleasure. Her description sounds like some other comments women have made about what it is like. Two-she has been with you for 20 years. Put the two together and you know that what you bring is more important than what a bigger dick can bring to her overall happiness.
Don't waste your time trying to chase the ghost by doing the sex toy thing, unless that is what she wants, and apparently she doesn't. Do the best with what you have and develop skills, imagination and stamina. Play to your strengths instead of your weaknesses. (I say weaknesses only because you have deduced that the size of your dick is a weakness as compared to the other guy)
You can't change the size of your dick so obsessing about re-creating her experience with him should not be your goal because you cannot achieve it. You are you. You can do the job in ways that are unique to you. This isn't about caring about her pleasure-you obviously care. The question is whether to undertake a quixotic quest to prove you are alpha dog to this guy from years ago on his terms.
Apparently for 20 years you have done fine. Just step up your game and be the best you can be.
