photo by solidstateAdvice from three of our guy friends. This week they answer the following: If a guy asks me how I think his penis ranks size-wise, and I honestly think it’s a little on the small side or perhaps too skinny, what do you think the best approach is?
Straight Married Guy (Fred): I’ll start answering this question with another question: If I honestly think a woman is on the big side or perhaps a little chubby and she asks me if she’s fat, what do you think the best approach is? Of course I tell her that she looks great. But there’s a difference between these two situations: she can eat a healthier diet and exercise but he can’t do anything about his size. She may even be looking for a little motivation with the question, but it’s still polite to fib in this instance. Which means it’s imperative to fib in the other instance. Tell him that you think his size is great. You can add that you’ve seen bigger and, more importantly, you’ve seen smaller, and that he’s just right. Adding that too big can be uncomfortable is always a good tidbit as well. Being honest in this case will only serve to make him forever self-conscious or even more self-conscious than he already is (men hear all the time that “It’s not the size of the boat but the motion of the ocean,” but men also see the widening eyes and devilish smiles when women talk about sizable, girthy man-sausage). A finessed answer can give him the confidence that most women find attractive and will more than make up for his tiny dick.
Straight Single Guy (Chris): This is an easy one: Lie. If you tell the truth (“It’s kind of too skinny…”) his penis may never again work for you, ever. Put yourself in his shoes, “Are my boobs big enough for you? You seem to always look at girls with big boobs when they walk by…” Would you really want him to say “Well, honey, your boobs are cute, but they are much smaller than I prefer. If I could use magic to change you, I would give you natural 34DD’s.” So lie. But before you do, you need to know is that if his penis is small-ish, he already knows. He is already sensitive about it, and he is just hoping you haven’t been with any well-endowed men. So if you overcompensate with an outright fabrication such as, “It’s huge. It’s the biggest one I’ve ever seen,” he will know you are lying to spare his feelings and he will feel even worse. So just say, “Honestly, it’s not the biggest one I’ve ever seen, but it works great for me and you are fantastic in bed. Let’s do it right now!” Trust me, this is the only answer that can work.
Gay Married Guy (Jon Ross): Oooh. Awkward. You might just want to end the relationship right then and there rather than suffer through such an uncomfortable conversation, especially if you can’t bluff. It is never advisable to tell a man his tool is anything but a first-rate, thick cut orgasm factory. If a man is asking you if you think he’s small, he’s probably having some self confidence issues, and confirming his suspicions will only exacerbate problems. So if you don’t mind living with his teeny-tiny skinny-minny member, lie through your teeth. Nothing good can come of you admitting you think he’s small. If the size of his prize has been an issue for you, or you’ve been looking for an excuse to break it off anyway, you might want to begin with “It’s not your small penis, it’s me. . .”

I think 90% of guys question their penis size at one point in their life. As a man it matters what a girl thinks about it. As a guy who is above average, I know I shouldn’t worry about it, but when you hear a fair share of girls claiming size matters and seem to exagerate how big a former boyfriend was, it kinda makes you a little less confident in the bedroom.
Good news for guys. Most girls who claim they seen 9 or 10 inches are almost always completely full of shit. After the studies I read done on penis size shows that its extremely rare for a guy to be that large. A size that most porn stars don’t even reach. According to the study, 75% of males are between 5 and 7 inches, with 12% of guys being below that and 13% being above that. According to the study, if you put a 100 guys in a room. You might only have 1 being 9 inches or bigger at full erection.
So in conclusion, stats don’t lie, girls do. So the next time a girl says she needs 8 or 9 inches to please her/feel it. Give your girl a ruler and ask her if she was really able to fit that inside her and if she says yes. Google up vagina deepness and print it out for her. The average girl is 5 to 7 inches deep when sexually aroused. So this will probably shut her mouth pretty quickly and make her feel like the one that has a problem, not you.

Well Emily, I value your opinion I really do. I am actually large, I simply have a distorted view due to ignorant people in my life. Your comments only validate my points. I have no desire to convince you of anything….i am simply waiting to see if Jasmine comes back. If she doesn’t I have no interest in this pathetic game.
Here is an interesting insight i came to with one of my girlfriends recently. Women want to be equals and lash out when a guy is insecure….They want to not be judged for being a whore physically and emotionally. I agree they should not be judged, but when they no longer interest you because they are old get ride of them…..Its complete equality. Shawn Connery is still considered sexy despite his age but most women have a shelf life of about 35, isn’t equality grand:D

Heeeeey Richard thank god sum1 with some sense cares about giving advice instead of preaching…seriously thats all i see here preaching & people who obviously have no1 tht listens to them and their pretencious “advice” that they come and barf their “opinions” on this site whr its just supposed to be for advice and support…neway things are great with him, the only “trouble” we have is when we discuss this..whether size matters or not..we’re sooo connected i sometimes FEEL what he feels about his penis..it feels natural but i dnt know, its not what im concerned about…he keeps deciding not to talk about it with me (his past experiences, his childhood, being teased or mocked or criticised from childhood to adulthood and also bombarded with all the penis jokes evrywhr and the enlargement commercials evrywhr…) however he sumtimes slips and starts talking about it with me, i dnt mind that he does but the most painful part is tht no matter how much we talk it through i still cant convince him and i know that if i was physically with him i’d just prove that it doesn’t…but im not with him…sooo we’re back to tht first Q..how do i convince him it duznt matter? without using my body (because im not with him)…thaaanx and to any1 else reading this: If you don’t plan on giving constructive advice, and showing the same courtesy you would show face-to-face then spare us all and shhhhhhhhhh

Well a week has gone by again:D I am not sure if you can convince him unfortunately. All you can do is continue to show him you care and be CONSISTENT. Don’t ever tell him what you think he wants to hear because if you lie it will come out in the end and it will destroy what you have created. The most important thing is to build a relationship on you and him. If you lie or beat around the bush with him on his size then it will consume your time together. It might very well be true that you don’t care at all about his size. I would say that its the least of your concerns to be more correct. If he is smaller then the actual average and not just messed up in the head like me than he will have to be creative but then to be a really good love so does any man. Creativity, passion and even aggression at times are what I have found to be the precursors to good sex. It all depends on knowing your partner.

BTMVK Ur ex gf said that to hurt u because u obviously hurt her, ur penis is fine, im not sure i can say the same thing for ur personality or the rest of you – ur penis can’t do all the work for you
Get some character
Heeeyyy Richard thnx for the reply, ur absolutely right about staying consistent, im trying, it’s just that whn he asked me if it mattered i was a virgin and i was like…ummm i donno ive never thought about tht, i wudnt know (how the hell wud i?!?) so tht was the one insconsistency in my arguments about the matter…but i lovvve his penis, and he’s trying to not talk about it or let the subject ruin our moments together, so thts good news (right??) i think the more time we spend together and the more he realises how much he can satisfy me he feels better..so thts gr8, only problem is i dnt live in Arizona and we can only see eachother evry other week…so sumtimes i feel like whtver progress we made the week b4 fades whn i leave, he tries to hide it..he’s so scared of me giving up on him
which i wudnt dooo i absolutely adore him!!
newaaay thts the update so far..that we had sex..it was amazing (better than i cud have ever expected – painful at first) we’re making progress with his confidence, but whn i leave i feel like all those dark thoughts and stupid commercials and sit coms just poison his mind against his manhood and his ability and all tht..which is just SO ridiculous to me no because he’s a wonderful lover
sooo all in all great news, sumtimes frustrating..
cheers xx

Jasmine I am very happy for you. Since you are a virgin I assume you are fairly young. I wish someone would have said this to me so I will say it to you. Things are not better on the other side of the fence and even the best relationship takes hard work on a daily basis. I hope that you continue to be honest with him and build a strong relationship. I also hope he continues to respect you and not take you for granted. If you two can avoid falling into these pitfalls you have a good chance of living a healthy, happy, successful life. Be aware of friends giving advice, girlfriends can screw things up for you because they would rather look at your relationship then the failings of their own. I am really happy for you Jasmine…I hope my thoughts and advice has been neutral and unbiased.

Em, Lo? Can I post a link to the online version of White and Strunk’s “The Elements of Style.” ????
January 26th, 2010 at 1:18 am
Sigh….are you really so petty as to correct peoples grammar on an internet bulletin board?
January 26th, 2010 at 10:13 am
At least she’s not preaching :S
January 26th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
little said: “Sigh….are you really so petty as to correct peoples grammar…”
There’s nothing “petty” about being able to communicate so others can actually understand what you say or write. In fact, it is one of the Hallmarks of creating and fitting into a Society and being Human.
January 26th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
I’m glad you got the reference though, Rich.
January 26th, 2010 at 4:07 pm
Alright you’re not “petty” you’re just plain annoying and completely useless despite you’re grammar
January 27th, 2010 at 12:34 am
Et tu Jasmine? I was trying to be supportive and you label it preaching (shakes head).
My point mademoiselle is that its a blog and not subject to the rules of English 101 grammar which I am willing to bet you only recently passed. I am very happy that you can write. Can you also do Chemistry and Physics? How about Multi-Veriable Calculus? How about we change the language? French perhaps? Or is your misspelled name the only word you know?
Combien futé êtes vous petite dame?
January 27th, 2010 at 11:30 am
Everything but the calc and the French. (And I passed the rest quite a while ago.) Yep, I KNOW I misspelled the French word…..but, this is an English speaking blog…and proper names are not subject to specific grammar or spelling rules (or is that just in Scrabble?
) ….and once it was written, and known, I just left it. Besides, it defines me. LOL!
Meh.
January 27th, 2010 at 11:45 am
Nooo I meant SHE’s preaching!! she was earlier on!!
January 27th, 2010 at 11:46 am
Rich ur advice was great and it calmed me down..seriously i didn’t mean u..sorry
January 27th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
Sorry guys n gals here’s a newsflash, my wife made some hurtful comparisons to me about her ex, way before we were married. Didn’t stop us getting married but the sex life never ever recovered. That was a long time ago…….
January 27th, 2010 at 8:35 pm
Don’t fret over it Jasmine and thank you for clearing it up…I still wish you the best:D
As to my grammar instructor your attitude seems passable today….I would even venture that we could be friends, as long as you don’t send everything I write back with red marks on it.
January 28th, 2010 at 1:04 am
Rich, I’m really not that bad. Just a little prickly. A lot of what I post is tongue in cheek, to a certain extent. (Yeah, I have a bitchy exterior, but I’m not a bad chick. A bad GIRL, yes, but not a bad person.)
I promise not to redmark your posts.
January 28th, 2010 at 9:54 pm
TELL THE TRUTH OF COURSE!!!!! nothing is worse than thinkin you go a big dick and walkin that big dick walk, pullin it out as a girl tries not to laugh
January 31st, 2010 at 3:47 pm
Well I can be a bit prickly but I am not a prick….so Madam we should be able to get along just fine:D I fee all warm and fuzzy now.
Liam yes, the truth is best!
February 1st, 2010 at 10:26 am
Cool. Rich.

I’m bigger than average, but when one of my college girlfriends told me (more than once) how huge her first boyfriend’s penis was, it did put a dent my sexual confidence.
Even though she more often commented on what an asshole he was, the fact that she still remembered his size so well, despite the emotional damage he did, made me sometimes feel small.
