Comment of the Week: Life Is Not Porn

We feel privileged and proud to have the most reasonable readers of any sex-related site out there:

Well, let’s say for the sake of argument, that [a woman would] prefer [her partner] had a bigger penis. Is that a dealbreaker? Is it worth throwing an otherwise good marriage away over? I would say, continue working on your sex life, as we all should be at all times, be responsive to your partner’s needs, enjoy each other.

Who among us is the perfect sex partner? Frankly, if you’re in your 50’s, you probably have physical imperfections at least as important as a small penis. I bet you’re not as strong or fit or generally attractive as you once were. I’m sure your wife has insecurities about her body, and misses her younger body as well. If you’re married, you have probably had days when one of you felt like it and the other didn’t. You’ve probably had things go embarrassingly wrong a few times. Life is not porn. We enjoy what we have, and in the long run it’s better because of the emotional connection we have to our partners.

  1. Well said. Throwing away a relationship on account of the size of a body part or a physical flaw is just wrong. Love each other with a strong emotional connection and do the best with what you have and just enjoy the time you’re with each other.

  2. I’ll nominate this one for comment of the year. It hits all the usually-ignored parts of “inadequacy.”. Which when you think about it is almost always “mere” adequacy instead. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are taken… And don’t always get along in bed, or out, anyway. Anything less than them is still probably pretty darn good.
