OK just curious, recently a girl felt my boner thru my jeans and said I'm too thin.
I'm 7.2" long [measured from the top] and 5" girth. I'm ok with my lenght, just wonderinga bout the girth part.

tnx, I already know that I'm slightly longer than average [at least according with most polls I've seen] and average in girth.
I was wondering what girls like, might not be the same thing.
I'm also aware than most women would preffer thicker if they could chose, I was just wondering if 5" girth is too thin. Like a turn-off or something.
Seriously though, how the fuck is she going to know this by feeling your "boner" through your trousers?!?
Methinks you haven't measured properly also.
Girth= thickness around. I measured corectly with a string around the thickest part. 5" around and 1.85" wide. I don't know what the diameter is.
The girl is a known size queen that asks pretty much all the guys she knows how big they're dicks are.
She was making fun of me because I'm only 5'5" tall and 125lbs she said I must be usless small in the pants.
Girls I had sex with never complained in fact my ex gf couldn't even take me comfortable all the way in with some position regardless how much foreplay [like her on top]. But she was a virgin before me and my dick was the biggest thing she had in the 3years we were togheter.
So thats why I was curious, I haven't been with a girl in a while and this whole thing definetly didn't helped my confidence.
btw the girl I'm talking about is a 21year old 5'2" asian she just started dating a 6'4" guy and all she talks about is how she hopes hes got a big one.
Poor guy better have a big one cos she has no compassion what so ever. She was even laughing yesterday at how rediculous a tall guy like that would look with a small dick.
This girl sounds like all talk to me. If you have had no complaints in the past then I wouldn't worry about it.
And the girl, well, it wouldn't surprise me if she isn't *really* getting it, just pretending. Ignore her.
Tnx your very nice, but I'd really like to hear a straight answer from a girl. Even if its not what I'd like to hear.
Is 5" around a turn off for being too thin or is ok?
Sorry for being soo cought up on this, its a guy thing I guess. :banghead:
I am rubbish at estimating so I don't know what 5" is. however, the way I see it is it is just this girl who is causing this problem and if you have had sex in the past and had no complaints then I wouldn't worry about it.
Seriously, I wouldn't give this a second more of your thought. This girl sounds like she was stirring. And you are well above average size too
To be honest, I also think there is a thing as being too big.
I always thought "pasta dick" was a man who worked at a church.
Well, no, not quite pencil thin, but I have been with someone who was fairly thin and definitely smaller than this 5".
Actually I'm saying some really stupid stuff.
bless you.
LifeStyles Condoms has conducted research into the average length and circumference of the erect penis during Spring Break in Cancun and found that the average penis length is 5.877 inches, with the majority ranging between 5.5 inches and 6.3 inches. The average girth is 4.972 inches, with the majority ranging between 4.7 inches and 5.1 inches.
From March 11 to 17, a total 401 males over the age of 18 were measured, one at a time, by qualified medical staff (protected by gloves) in private tents at the Dady Rock nightclub in Cancun, Mexico. Of the 401 men, 300 were able to gain an erection for measurement — a success rate of only 75%.
Measurement methodology
The following criteria were enforced by a doctor and a team of four nurses, who attended each of the seven nights of the penis size research.
Measuring of length was from the point at the base of the erect penis where the top of the penile shaft meets the pubic area to the tip of the glans ("head"). For uncircumcised men, the foreskin was retracted. Measuring of girth was at mid-shaft around the circumference of the penis when the penis was erect. Failure to gain an effective erection for measurement disqualified the volunteer from being included in the data for the calculation of average erect penis length and girth.
Environment
The majority of participants were U.S. college men, but it was not limited to this group. Volunteers were asked to enter a private area, where they would gain an erection and then call for the two nurses to measure their erect penis. To ensure the accuracy of the data, each erect penis was measured by two of the nurses. A doctor supervised the nurses and all activity. Volunteers tended to be groups of friends, which helped ensure a wide range of penis sizes (big and small) and provide a more accurate average figure.
Sample size
The sample included 401 male volunteers, of which only 300 were "effective" male volunteers (75 percent), because 101 volunteers (25 percent) could not gain an erection for measurement. At 300 effective measurements, the study was twice the size of any previous study that used medical staff to measure penis size. This method is more accurate and reliable than studies in which volunteers undertake self-measurement/reporting.
Erect penis length
The average erect penis length was 5.877 inches (14.928 cm).
Standard deviation was 0.825 inches (2.096 cm) with 54 percent of the effective sample measuring between 5.5 inches (14 cm) and 6.3 inches (16 cm).
Erect penis girth
The average erect penis girth was 4.972 inches (12.63 cm).
Standard deviation was 0.508 inches (1.29 cm) or with 53.33 percent of the effective sample measuring between 4.725 inches (12 cm) and 5.118 inches (13 cm).
Comparative research
There have been previous research studies on this subject, but all have had shortcomings that LifeStyles said produced unreliable data, making the results doubtful, at best
The size of your "tool" only matters to you and your girlfriend, so if she's happy with you it's no business of anyone else's.
Or she could giantititus? :chin:
No but seriously, this girl is clearly displaying her ignorance to the world. If I was drunk enough to grope some guys willy through his jeans I tell ya I would have to have been in such a terrible state I wouldn't know arse from elbow, let alone be able to measure a penis size accurately.
Yea, I already knew my girth was considered average.
Thing is I walk in a porn shop and most female toys as thick as me are vibrators. Just normal dildo's 85% of them are thicker or much , much thicker.
Was thinking that whats average for dicks and what women need could be two very different things.
Oh well, I have about as much chance to get my willy to vibrate as I have to make it any bigger so I'll just have to live with it.
(Girthwise, which is apparently what matters)
For curiousity I mesured a banana [a medium one I would say] and it end up being 5.1" in girth at its thickest point. Does that give any idea?
