I honestly can't pick from the poll options because for me, it depends on if the person can actually use what he's got.

I've been with all sizes and the only time I haven't truly enjoyed myself is when they were insecure about how to use it or what they were even doing.

I can't speak for your girl, obviously, but that's how I feel about it.

I do want to say that there is so much more to pleasurable sex than penis size. and the real fun begins with exploration of those creative ventures as well as the tested & proven possibilities.

@Hearthrob, I guess then, I'm smaller than my gf's ex's average, which would sit well north of 6" and thick. Just my luck, I suppose. I'm by far the smallest she's been with, at any rate.

Thanks to all who have voted and to those who have taken the time to comment. I appreciate it.

I once was with a guy who had an above average sized penis and I was in so much pain it wasn't enjoyable. He had zero skill. It was the worst sex of my life. Then I was with a guy who was smaller than average and I was a bit concerned, but he made it the best sex of my life. I think the difference, for me, is that the guy with the smaller penis really got me going both physically and mentally and that is important. Never underestimate the power of foreplay!

I prefer smaller for a different reason. I have a severe bladder disease and sex can be very painful because of it. So naturally the smaller the penis is the better it is for me.

Strangebrew, if you are able to give her multiple orgasms with your equipment, then you have nothing to worry about. Everyone has preferences that their partner might or might not fulfill, but, the good thing is that these are preferences and not requirements.

For example, you might require that all your sexual partners be of a certain gender, i.e. female. A preference you might have could be for brunettes with blue eyes and glasses. Requirements exclude certain classes of things, preferences don't. Is this making sense? In the sexual department, you seem to be her unicorn. You are giving her the one thing that others who might be better endowed can't. Keep doing what you are doing and be empowered knowing that you are pleasing your girlfriend.

I'm not a girl, but I feel like you should know that your size isn't on the small end of average. 5.5" of length is either right on top of the bell curve, or slightly past it depending on what study you look at.

Those studies that show average being from 6-7" are all from self reported sizes, and we all know how reliable most guys are when it comes to that lol.

Your girth is admittedly on the smaller end, but if you lady gets off on it and doesn't mind then there's no need to worry.

Well it's been a while since I checked in on this but wanted to update the post. Since posting this question, I have purchased several sleeves designed to increase one's girth. Turns out that my wife prefers me with the sleeve. Not only does it give her the thickness she's used to from past lovers but she still is able to experience vaginal orgasms.

So, for any other less than average guys out there, if you're interested in giving your lover the thickness she misses, a sleeve is the way to go. The only down side is you don't really feel her much. The sleeve still slides up and down on your penis, leading to an orgasm but it's not from the friction you're used to.

Kind of feeling deflated that I'm not enough to fully satisfy her but it is what it is.

So as someone on the statistically large side... there are some definite downsides. I definitely agree it's how you use what you have and your connection with your partner more than size. But my current girlfriend is extremely petite and if we don't do enough foreplay and commonly use lube than my size can be painful/difficult for her. With my ex-gf I had to be careful not to fully insert, even during rougher sex, as I would smash into her cervix that would take away from her enjoyment. But over time with both I learned how to best use what I had to bring them enjoyment.

I also struggle with many male masturbator toys as they either break quickly due to my size or I don't fit in them.

Oh and as a friend once mentioned, there is far more variability in vaginal size than male penis size... if your current girlfriend is a "size queen" you might consider DV play with a toy? There also are couple's toys that have an inserted end that adds a bit of "girth" and potentially vibrations/enjoyment for both partners. Our favorite of these is the Tiani 24k, but we also really enjoyed the Tiani 3. There are some great budget options of these toys sold by EF too.

I honestly can't pick because, for me, it depends on if the person can actually use what he's got. I don't care about your size if you can give me a good time with what you've got you're a winner.

Size in any direction doesn't matter unless they know what they are doing but i prefer girth.
