After every sexual escapade my friends and I enjoyed in college, we'd ask each other one very big, important question: "Was he packing the heat? It's almost comical to think having a big penis equates to good sex, because, honestly -- and this is something I wish I could scream at my early something self -- that's just total bullshit. Because those are still great. But it does mean how you use it will almost always trump size.

What makes an exceptionally good dick? To find out, I asked 20 women to share their preferences for the perfect penis. Some foreskin appears a bit saggy and sad. Girth is more important than length — about the thickness of a deodorant can. Taking a really big cock can make things a little slower, so I tend to prefer ones that are slightly shorter and more versatile. The style of penis I prefer is any size or shape, wielded by a confident, enthusiastic partner who is interested in my pleasure, as well as their own.

I lost my virginity to a man with a huge penis. Watching porn made me uncomfortable so I always just read erotica. I could barely open my jaw far enough to the get the thing in my mouth. We could only have sex in missionary position because everything else hurt so badly. I was not particularly impressed with intercourse or giving oral, for that matter.

The study , conducted by the Australian National University, revealed that the taller the man, the bigger the effect his penis size had on his sex appeal. The group of researchers showed life-size, computer-generated figures of men that varied in body shape, height, and penis size to women. The findings showed that women preferred taller men with broader shoulders and narrow hips V-shaped, instead of pear-shaped , which supports earlier research. However, this study indicates that penis size is also relevant. Outcomes showed: the bigger, the better.
