Does Size Matter? (What Women Say Behind Men’s Backs)
Last week I reached out to my male think tank to see what men love about women’s bodies—booty or breasts? The results were very interesting, to say the least.
Early on, though, some of the female readers made a request: “I hope you do one for us…like long tongue or long dick, lol…”
I’m always up for a battle of the sexes so turning the tables on the fellas was definitely something I was interested in doing. However, tongue vs. dick just didn’t seem to be the right analogy for the T&A Q&A.
I ruffled through my thoughts about the right poll for my female think tank and it came to me when I was flipping through channels and happened upon Juwanna Mann (probably on BET SMH). I doubt many folks have seen this B-movie or remember much of the plot, but the lead character got banned from the NBA and winds up dressing in drag to make money in the women’s league.
There was this one scene in particular where Juwanna (the guy in drag) and her/his teammates were in a hotel room having “girl talk” when the conversation turned to men. Basically, Juwanna, who again was really a guy, was getting to be a fly on the wall for a no holds barred convo on the male species.
A bunch of things women found sexy and pet peeves were revealed, including stuff like why men never call when they say they will. In an attempt to keep up, Juwanna tried to chime in:
“And what about when some men like to brag about the size of their manhood? When we know it ain’t the size of the boat, baby, but the motion of the ocean… Can I get a hallelujah?”
**Silence**
“What you talking about, Juwanna,” someone finally responded. “The size of the boat don’t matter? I want the Titanic.”
“You got that right,” the rest of the girls chimed in.
We’ve all heard that same saying before and, for the most part, a lot of men believe it. Shoot, I’m an average man and I make it do what it do.
But wait, do I?
If there was any truth to that Juwanna Mann scene and women want the Titanic, then my luxury yacht might not be enough. **Kanye shrug** At least I don’t have a tugboat.
At any rate, I’ve never had any complaints—at least not to my face—but it got me to wondering: Does size really matter?
I hit up my female think tank and got another interesting mix of answers…
MS. BLUNT
“Yes, size matters—a lot. But it’s not length that matters (as much) as it is girth. I mean, don’t get me wrong, and excuse my being blunt, but a dude with a super short but really thick one won’t do either… I think I’ve said enough.”
MS. SIZE QUEEN
“Yes, size matters. I have been blessed to have blessed brothers in my life. Once you’re used to 7″ and better a smaller man just doesn’t do it for you anymore. I remember breaking up with a Mandingo and going to an ‘avi’ (average sized bro). When I looked at it I immediately thought about what I was missing! Not that the sex sucked, but I was disappointed. No disrespect to the small men, I just like what I like. Nice, thick, sexy chocolate that’s 7″ or better, please. Also, a big dick will have you doing things for no reason, like, ‘Why did I just serve him breakfast in bed? Oh, yeah, ’cause he swinging, baby!’ LOL Big guys aren’t all good in bed but automatically they feel better. Smaller guys are better for anal and might be better at oral. So if anything you can exploit each person’s talent.”
MS. SATISFIED
“Some well-endowed men don’t know how to use what they’ve got and some smaller than average men know how to make up for it. BUT at the end of the day, if a man is too small, anatomically speaking, there are spots within a woman’s body he just can’t reach. *Womp, womp* Which leads me to my next related point; good sex DOES matter in a relationship. Anyone who says otherwise has never been in a relationship with bad sex. Period.”
MS. BY-THE-NUMBERS
“Whatever woman says it’s not about the size of the boat but about the motion in ocean is 1) Loves her dude to death, 2) Had a dude that had some dope tongue game or 3) Was with a dude that really wasn’t THAT tiny so he got a pass made possible by 1 and 2. Now, to be clear, I was one of those who talked the motion in the ocean foolishness, too, UNTIL I got a brotha with size and then thought to myself: ‘What the fuck was I thinking?!’ Like the saying goes, ‘Once you go Black you can never go back.’ Well, once you go big, it’s super-size me from then on.”
MS. TECHNICAL
“Size does matter but that doesn’t necessarily mean bigger is better. Not to sound nerdy but abnormally large penises can cause a lot of extra trips to the gynecologist because of excess bladder infections. Plus, it’s uncomfortable trying to fit all that in. Also, large men in real life—because pornos got people fooled—tend to think that just because they’re big they don’t have to do anything and are more often than not, wiggy, wiggy wack. Either their stroke is all fucked up or they cum too quick—popcorn anyone? On the opposite end of that, small penises ain’t what’s up either. Small penis dudes slip out A LOT and sometimes you don’t feel anything at all. The winner for me is the good ol’ average Joe. Average penises were made to fit into the average size vag (which is about 3-4 inches deep). Plus, average Joes tend to put it down because they feel they have to work harder (no pun intended).”
MS. EASY-DOES-IT
“It’s really all about skill. Sometimes bigger is better, but only if the guy knows how to prepare you for that size, otherwise it can be uncomfortable. At the same time there is a such thing as too small.”
MS. PINKY
“Size does not matter up to a point. Can’t have a pinky finger. Great sex is about chemistry and knowing each other’s and likes and dislikes. Penetration is about 30%. You have to know how to move it.”
MS. ABOVE AVERAGE
“I’m not gonna lie, my first was a little over 8 inches, which is pretty large by most standards. For the most part, though, the only time size matters is if it’s too big or too small. Personally, if he’s over 9 inches it’s frightening to me and if he’s under 5 inches I would hope he knows how work it or that he’s extraordinarily good at cunnilingus. But every woman’s vagina is different, so the standards can vary.”
MS. DISAPPOINTED
“Oh, yes size definitely matters. Fortunately (or unfortunately) I’ve come across about two brothers who were not well endowed. I’m talking itsy bitsy, teeny weenie! I say fortunately because it’s only been two LOL. The last one I was really feeling, and was so effing disappointed. SMH. I don’t even know why I bothered because he told me that after one encounter with a certain female, she actually told him to his face that he was NOT packing, and was too small for her! I couldn’t believe she was so blunt to his face, and I couldn’t believe he shared this info with me! He said he didn’t think he was small but yet I still gave him a chance. LOL (Hey, I liked him, but what a damn waste). I should’ve asked him to strip after giving me that info. LOL.”
MS. SOFT & PINK
“Honestly, size matters initially but I think it’s more mental than anything. Like, you’re making out with a dude and you just happen to ‘feel’ what he’s working with (yes, women do that) and whether conscious or not, your mind begins to wonder if your latest discovery is an indication of what’s to come. But I think that is really where it ends. Is the guy putting in work and is the connection there? That’s typically what determines whether the experience is memorable. Some women claim that they can have no-strings attached sex—I’m not one of them. If I was then maybe my response would be different. But if I’m laying down with someone it’s because I have deep feelings for them (and hopefully vice versa) so we’re already starting off at an advantage. You genuinely want to please someone that you’re really feeling and in my experience that desire has been mutual.”
MS. HAPPY MEDIUM
“I’ve had the really big, the small and the moderate. If the penis is really small, you feel like you’re doing the dude a favor by loaning him your body because you’re probably not going to climax if he can’t reach your G spot. However, I’ve also had moderate sizes that don’t do much either because they just don’t know what to do or where do go, and I’ve had moderates that do know how to work their gifts. Ultimately, I think it comes down to sexual chemistry and a woman knowing enough about her body to point her lover in the right direction if it’s not his natural inclination. However, a big, thick, penis is a big thick penis, and the BTP has a better chance of reaching a woman’s happy place because it’s got a larger shooter. Like a handgun versus a rifle. Get it?”
MS. WILLY WONKA
“I have two big dick willy stories to share: Big Dick Willy #1
talked mad shit about what he was going to do but had no finesse and came after five minutes. He was so clumsy that his strokes felt like rug burns. Big Dick Willy #2 talked mad ish about what he was going to do to me and how he was going to tear me up. He put it in and came. Didn’t even get to stroke, he just busted. We tried again (I figured he deserved a second chance) and he got two strokes in before he came. *Angry face.*”
So, does size really matter? Are you a woman that has to have a man that’s large and in charge? Have you ever been surprised by a brother that wasn’t working with much? Could you stay with a smaller man if he knew how to work his tongue? What would you do if you found the perfect man in every way except he wasn’t packing anything worthwhile down below? Is guy automatically good in the sack just because he’s big? Fellas, what would you do if a woman told you you were too small? If you are lacking in that department have you learned to use other “skills” to make up for your shortcomings? What did y’all think of my female think tank?
