I have to call bullshit on the long standing 8x6 ideal size claims. People just toss out numbers way too carelessly- i seriously doubt many girls even know what a real 8x6 cock looks like. Statistically, such a size would come up in 1 out of 50 encounters (that's being generous)- it's just wishful thinking and poor size judgement that perpetuates these numbers.
The penissizedebate is well known as a crock of shit, I believe the creator admitted to making up his data. The 8x6 dildo argument is the only thing that holds water to me- but i'm not really convinced because all of the girl's toys i have seen (my friends are very open and careless at times) are significantly smaller than 8x6. I have been to porn shops with girls and it's more likely they pick up these massive dildos and joke about them (maybe they're embarrassed to take them seriously with company- but it's just an observation).
I'm 6.5" at the base and a touch under that along the shaft and with nearly all of the girls I've been there has been discomfort or worse. It's possible that this has to do with women my age being younger and tighter- but they've all had multiple partners before, I use lube, and I'm not extraordinarly rough.
A lot of the guys on here claiming to be 6, 6.5, or 7" girth are a far cry away. I'm willing to bet if everyone here posted an honest tape measurer shot of their girth that there would be a shift in what's considered thick.
