I'm not sure I'll stay on topic on this one.
Does anyone remember the cartoon "The Littles"? I'm not sure how tall they were in inches. Any guesses?
Holly, whenever I see your avatar I have to stare for at least several seconds. I'm not sure what kind of a person you are in real life, but that is one really really beautiful mug you have. But then all the women and men who show their faces on this site are pretty hot. Myself excluded.
Viking is kind of correct in that women probably don't want less than average. But I think they might settle for it. You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need. In addition, average is a range. You have to keep in mind that a penis, even an erect one, is a relatively small piece of equipment. An inch makes a big difference in percentages, particularly when it is accompanied by matching differences in girth, which it is often is. A 5" erection will look kind of smallish but not small enough to throw back. A 4" looks small and for many women may be a deal-breaker. Smaller than that is heartbreak territory I feel.
You know, much of our lives is a lottery. We're such rude, shitty, self possessed people when you consider that we could have easily been born into poverty or slavery, in different countries, in much harsher circumstances. We could be getting tortured by the Chinese because we're the wrong religion, or disappeared by the Americans for any number of reasons. While we count our blessings, we have to make an effort to be nicer, more content and more inquisitive people, with a genuine interest in other people. When we help our fellow man, we help ourselves. I mean there are thousands of single men out there who haven't been laid in God knows how long. Not all of them are the right race, or religion. Some are poor, some have astonishingly small penises. Let us all make a solemn pledge to help the horny. Your contribution of a single free handjob could mean a world of difference to a poor brown-skinned un/underemployed short bald unfit-looking bespectacled man, who has no chance of getting a woman to touch him otherwise.
Anyway, enough with the public service announcements. As I was saying, an inch makes a hell of a difference. In my view, average lies from 5.5 inches to 7 inches in length / 4.25 to 5.75 in girth. The 1.5 inch range on length and breadth covers a large proportion of sizes. I think the average of 5.5" that was mentioned earlier in this thread is realistic. The 5" number has always seemed to me to be understating the mean. I would say the mean, meaningless though it, lies between 5.5 to 6 inches. I prefer the range to a single number.
I do have a question. Spoiled Princess and Holly, both beautiful vixens who I hope will one day tie me up and beat me mercilessly like the animal I am, mentioned they wouldn't run away from a small cock. But from a physical pleasure point of view, what length/breadth combination range do you think would hit the spot for vaginal satisfaction? How about anal?
I'm interested in finding out how gay or bisexual men feel about that question as well.
