Glad to help. Don't let this kind of stuff mess with your head, even if she doesn't know she's doing it.

Ah, well, me being the curious guy I am, asked her about it. She said it reached half-way up his chest. So I guess it really was a behemoth.

The good thing is, she firmly reassurred me that she really doesn't care about penis size, and she's also kind of glad, haha (she couldn't take it all). And, according to her, whilst he may have the length, I have the bigger girth :smile:

Hi guys,

I'm pretty new here so don't blast me out if I'm posting about something that has already been discussed.

I've noticed that men and women seem to view what is big as completely different....well not entirely, allow me to try and explain.

It seems to me from my own experience (somewhat limited, only slept with three women) that most women would view a penis of 7" x 5" to be big. I make this inferrence based on my own experiences, I'm 7.75 x 5.3 and each girls I've been with have voluntarily told me they think my penis is big (in two cases as a sigh of relief as I'm only 5' 8.5" and 150 lbs with small hands lol) and also a few female friends have also confirmed this when we've spoken about the matter.

However when men discuss the matter it seems that for us big BIG-ins (sorry about that!) at 8" and girth somewhere above 5.5".

Looking at the, in my view, limited and flawed stats available, the female view is correct (as of course is the male view as it is a larger size). If 90% of men are between 5 and 7 inches then anyone with a 7" penis is big by any definition I would think. After all (and please bear with my shaky maths here) if, for arguments sake, the 90% is split evenly and only whole numbers are used, 30% of men would be 5", 30% 6" and 30% 7". So as a guy with a 7 incher you would be bigger than 60% of all other men and only 10% of men would be bigger than you. Surely that makes you big? Obviously once subdivisions come in the percentages change but I bet statistically a 7 inch dick is probably bigger than like 60 - 70 per cent of penises.

Ummm hang on I've lost myself here...I think my point is that, for straight guys, don't listen to what other guys say after all most of us have only seen our own penis erect and various porn stars. Listen to the ladies, I think they have a more accurate view of where big starts.

Oh yeah and I just wanted to check if anyone else had noticed this difference between the sexes.

Oh and a very merry christmas to you all x

Here endeth the verbose post ;)

Interesting how the perception of big can be so different. I'm similar size to you, but haven't had any girl telling me that I'm big. And that influences my perception of big, since I don't seem myself as big...

Interesting...:33:

...according to her. Remember, if all you have to go on is her word, there could be any number of reasons she's overstating this guy's size. It sounds like the guy was definitely big, but "halfway up his chest" could mean anything. How tall was he? If he was a shorter guy, that would reduce the size accordingly. Plus, where exactly is "halfway up his chest"? I usually picture the middle of the chest as around nipple height -- there's no way this guy's dick reached that high. Is it the belly button? Or above that? And so on.

You sound like you have a good attitude about it, so I'll leave off on elaborating further. I hope you learned your lesson, though -- don't pry about past boyfriends unless you know for a fact that you're bigger!

My girlfriend thinks I have a pretty big dick and in fact I am the biggest she's ever seen/been with. I'm not really huge by any means compared to other guys on the site, I'm just 7 x 6, but I know just from experience that A) I'm bigger than most guys and B) every girl I've ever been with says I have a big dick and loves that I do.

That being said, why ruin a good thing? No way in hell I tell my girlfriend that I'm not as big as some guys. Its an ego thing. I'm sure that knowledge wouldn't surprise her, but why would I want her thinking about OTHER guy's dicks?

Besides she can't even take all of me which is presenting its own fun dilemnas.

That's unlikely in the extreme. Eleven inches is the penile equivalent of being seven feet tall -- not impossible, certainly, but the percentages are incredibly small. the How did you find this out? Did she tell you? That would lead to a number of possibilities:

1. She's intentionally exaggerating his size for some reason. I don't know why she would do this -- I don't know her, after all -- but she might, for example, be trying to increase her leverage in the relationship by making you feel insecure.

2. He told her he was eleven inches, she accepted this at face value, and repeated it to you. This relies on the ex having told the truth about his endowment -- which, as I noted above, is very unlikely to be his actual measurment.

3. She knew he was big, and, having heard various stories about size, she "guesstimated" him at eleven inches. She might not be aware how spectacularly improbable it is that he was actually that big, or maybe she's sub-consciously trying to take you down a peg, an unintentional version of #1.

4. She measured him at eleven inches. This would seem to be open and shut, but remember that her measuring technique might not be the same as yours. Did she start from under the balls, as I've heard some do? (And which was the method used to arrive at John Holmes' claim of 13", I think.) If that's the case, you can safely take off at least two or three inches.

Really, the only way to be certain that she's telling the truth is to have visual proof that the ex is that big, which won't happen. My own feeling is that she's probably doing number three: he's big, but she's just making an outrageous guess that he's 11". The best thing for you to do is just ignore her claim and show you're not bothered by it if it comes up.

All I know is that if I was with a guy that big, I would have taken a picture of it. Maybe not with a tape measure, but you would be able to get the general idea.

Good point. If a girl ever asked, I'd be more than happy to be a part of her "trophy case." The idea of her using the photo as "leverage" in an argument with later boyfriends -- "This is what I'm missing!" -- is sort of hot in an odd way.

once found a pic of sister-in-laws boyfriend at the time when she was out staying with us for a while on vacation. apparently she loved his cock and body so much she couldn't bear to be away for only a week without being able to see it. was laying soft, BIG balls, and yeah, that is a huge turnon thinking of you ladies thinking of the equipment, and, of course, having favorites ;-)

Hey, you never know. It would make for a much more interesting scrap book than the usual "This is me, Bob, and the Hendersons at Lake Tahoe back in '94" -type subject matter...

It's not like I think that scenario would ever happen in real life (and if it did, I'd find it a bit scary to learn that an ex was that vindictive); it's just a bit of a mini-fantasy.
