Honest Opinion: Does Size Matter?

r/

I have 5 inch member (somewhat thin) and I feel that sometimes it does mess with my mind. I find that it has lead to severe depression and performance anxiety. I have been with current GF for 2 years and I always thought we had a good sex life. I don’t have anything against toys and I love to go down on her. I just overheard her on the phone with her friend the other day and she said she feels something when I’m her but she compared it to a tampon. When we do have sex I do make her cum with the help of the toys. So ladies or whoever takes a peen? What does a shorter thinner dick feel like?

    Well, she just answered your question.

    Yes, it does matter. How much will depend on the preference. At 5 inches, you are slightly below the average, so you should “theoretically” be fine.

    Also, kind of a hole move to go discussing your dick size with her friend.

    What only really matters, is if it’s big enough to make you feel good!

    I couldn’t be with someone like that.

    It matters.

    Buuuuuuut, with who matters more. For reference, I’m slightly above average. Within the same standard deviation as you, if you want to get technical, but here’s what I’ve found.

    From experience: I’ve been with a girl that we had to do extensive foreplay otherwise it would be crying pain to get even “just the tip” or a finger in.

    For another girl, I received the dreaded “is it in”?

    One girl, every time was an effort to not hit her cervix.

    And a different one, I could never hit deep enough.

    And for quite a few girls, there was that gorgeous “Oh YES!” Face the first time it went it in for the evening.

    That is to say: the Kama Sutra had it right thousands of years ago. Women vary just as much with their anatomy as guys. Except since it never shows, it often gets forgotten.

    Tl;Dr- if she doesn’t like you because the key and lock aren’t quite compatible, that’s a bummer. But there’s other folks out there that you’ll be perfect. Or too big. At any rate: Keep up with the tongue game!

    You took something out of context. Talk to her to understand what she means. I’ve used similar phrasing and it’s because the inside of a vagina doesn’t have the same feeling ability as your hands. The sensitivity is the clit

    It does, but it’s not as simple as bigger = better. It’s more about compatibility than anything.

    Vaginas come in all sizes just like penises do, some women prefer really big dicks and some prefer average to smaller ones. To some women size is really important and others don’t really care at all how big a guy is. There is far more to sex than size or even just penetration. The vast majority of women are just fine with the vast majority of men. It sounds like you are about average, maybe slightly under, so you shouldn’t worry too much about it especially if your girlfriend is still enjoying sex with you. Even if your current girlfriend does think you’re too small, and I’m not saying she does, that doesn’t necessarily mean other girls will think that too. You just have to find someone who you’re physically compatible with.

    I think the more concerning part of this is that she’s saying things like that to her friend. I know women tend to over share details of their sex lives with their close friends but if she is aware of your insecurities around that, it’s a pretty shitty thing for her to share like that. I’d honestly be more upset about that than anything else.

    Yes, size does matter. Usually not a deal breaker to have a smaller penis , but it does matter. Although, I’d probably dump her if I was you just because of the sheer disrespect of talking about your size with her friends.

    Anything bigger than average is really a novelty. No matter the size one gets use to it. And most normal girls don’t want something that’s gonna hurt every time. Maybe a few times but not every time. There is too small and too big as far as I’m concerned.

    Your worst problem is the girlfriend who discusses your sex life with anybody else except her doctor. She is an a-hole for that. As for size 5 inches = 12,5 cm, many people have that size, vibrators are made that size, so. Def have seen way smaller in perfect working condition.

    If you want something to throw back at her if it comes to that, here: it doesn’t always mean that the peg is too small, sometimes it’s the hole that’s too big. Technically it’s not true but will hit her where it hurts.

    Some women it matters. Most it doesn’t. If you found yourself with someone that is unhappy with the size then find another woman.

    Can’t change you.
    5 is not small.

    Most nerve endings are in the first inch of the vagina.

    More are concentrated on the clit
