They say it’s not the size of the boat, but the motion of the ocean.
Now, this could be applied to a number of things but in this case, we’re talking about penises and whether size actually matters.
Not long ago, Reddit user u/Ohaiidavid started a thread to answer this very question: “Does size really matter?”
The thread was inspired by an experience with a woman from his past. Apparently, his ex-girlfriend made him feel awful about the small size of his penis.
“I was never bothered by it until my recent relationship. Most women tell me, size does not matter it’s how you use it. It’s all about how confident you feel, but I’m beginning to feel that it’s just a polite response rather than the actual truth. I won’t lie, there have been countless times where I have felt insecure about my penis size”
He then asked Redditors the following questions: What are your thoughts on small penis sizes? How do you react to them? What’s the thought process when you’re about the get frisky with one?
And based on these comments, it seems most people are here for the smaller peens.
Here are 18 of the best responses, but keep in mind, these are NSFW.
1. “I’m a top for one thing…”
I’m a gay guy and I actually prefer smaller penises. I’m a top for one thing, so maybe that skews my preference. I feel like I can give more pleasure to a guy with a smaller penis simply because I can get a hold of more of it at a time. More fun to play with maybe? I’d much rather be with someone who is less than say, 5-6″ (average). The massive ones you see in porn, no thanks.
2. 4-inches, at most
I was with a man who had a smaller penis (4 inches at most) and he was attentive, sweet, sexy, adept, and fun. And my god, I could have sucked that cock for days on end — no jaw soreness, no gagging, just him writhing like a madman for ages and me loving every moment. Edging someone with your mouth is great fun.
3. It’s a psychological thing
Personally, sex for me is 80% psychological, and 20% pure physical stimulation. If you know how to push a girl’s buttons and take the time to figure out what turns her on and what her likes and fantasies are, you can probably satisfy her more than someone who is double your size.
4. No big deal
Being a bit bigger helps for sex, not going to lie, but it definitely isn’t something I’d get hung up on. If I’m having sex with you, it’s because I really like you. When I’m caught up in the moment it is simply another detail.
5. Size matters but…
Size matters, but only if you’re too big. I’m a masochist — I like pain in bed, but not the kind of pain that’s created by a too-big penis. It’s a total downer and it really limits how rough you can go and what positions you can do. IMO, an average-to-small-sized penis is way more fun than a ‘well-hung’ penis.
6. Small FTW
Gay guy here. I prefer 3-4 inches. Anything upwards of 6 inches hurts my a– and I hate it more than anything else. Also, I don’t see the point of choking on a dick. It’s not fun, you cough and mucus comes out of your nose while you’re trying to look sexy sucking a dick. So yeah, small penises FTW.
7. Oral benefits
I actually think oral would be more fun for both people if you are working with something on the smaller end of the spectrum as opposed to something monstrous.
8. “I welcome a smaller penis.”
Having dated a guy rounding out over 8 inches, anything smaller than 5 inches is a beautiful thing. Blow jobs went from a 6 to a 10 on the pleasure scale for me while dating a guy with a smaller penis.
9. “I have had good and bad sex from all categories.”
I have been with men big, small, and average. I have had good and bad sex from all categories. Guys with big dicks can be lazy about it because they’re, well, cocky and then you end up with bad sex and sometimes a lotta pain if they’re not careful.
10. He’s AMAZING”
My current boyfriend has a smaller penis (3-4 inches), and he is also AMAZING in bed. I come almost every time we have sex (from the dicking alone), mostly because he has also learned different techniques (hip swiveling, etc.).
11. “My vagina can only take so much…”
I’ve had boyfriends with giant penises who were awesome at first, but my vagina can only take so much. At the end of the day I’d rather have an awesome guy with a small penis who can make me cum with his hands and tongue.
12. It’s about the control
When I see a small dick that i’m about to enjoy, it makes me feel like i’m in control. If it’s too big it makes it a lot more difficult to feel like I’m pleasing him, and it can get painful for me.
13. He knew how to use it!
My first guy I was with had a very large penis. So large I could not enjoy sex, it hurt to bad. The next guy was average and sex was good. The next guy was so small, I am grateful he could not see my face when I pulled it out. I was actually disgusted at that moment. But it turned out he knew how to use it! Two years together and not once did I give that tiny dick a second thought. I am now married and my husband is a perfect size.
14. It’s disappointing but…
I don’t want to make you feel bad, but it is kind of disappointing. On the other hand, someone with a large penis who doesn’t know how to use it is much worse. Being attentive is more important than the size.
15. Not intimidating
I think the size you have is perfect. Mine is about 5.5 and my partner is the same as yours. (gay obviously) I like it because it’s not intimidating, I can get it all in my mouth, and he really knows how to work it. I honestly don’t like big penises. They’re scary and painful.
16. It depends!
Most people will like you for who you are not what you have, that is if they really love/like you.
17. No discrimination here
Gay guy here. I just like penises. The size and shape really isn’t so important. I mean, don’t get me wrong; I like being around big penises as much as the next guy, but if it’s small, that really doesn’t bother me either. Not to mention a smaller penis makes sex (oral and anal) easier all in all.
18. Just right.
Your size always hit my g-spot just right.
