Ask Amy A Question

Does Size Matter?

by Amy on August 17, 2011

in Ask Amy

Faust asks:

Me and my friends were out drinking the other day, and somehow our conversation came to the topic of penises.  We debated them for a while, while my Asian friend stayed oddly quiet.  What do you think of these penile questions?  Specifically, preferable length, girth, does size matter, and pubes.  I think I know some of the answers, but I don’t want to make a fool of myself, and I want to tell my friends a more definitive answer.

Dear Faust:

Here are some basic stats: According to SFSI (San Francisco Sex Information), average length is anywhere between 4″-6″. And according to the Kinsey Institute, average girth is 1.25″-1.6″ in diameter. Keep in mind that we are talking about erect penises here. Pubic hair? Well, most people have it, and many people like it trimmed, all-natural, or even waxed or shaved. To each their own, right?

I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but while each individual may have their own personal preference in terms of size and shape, at the end of the day it’s what you do with it that counts. Seriously. This isn’t just some bullshit line to sugarcoat the truth. For most people the motion in the ocean is the actual deal breaker, and the ideal size and shape is just a perk.

P.S. Amy’s penis is a strap-on so she can choose whatever size fits the situation. :^)

I tend to put more stock in a person’s skill with their tongue than their gennies…
