Size did not matter: An evolutionary account of the variation in penis size and size anxiety
doi.org/10.1080/23311908.2016.1147933
The human penis exhibits considerable variation in size, while a substantial proportion of the adult male population experiences size anxiety. This paper employs an evolutionary framework in order to understand this variation, as well as the concern men exhibit about the adequacy of the size of their penis. It is argued that female choice has been one important sexual selection force, responsible for shaping the size of the penis. However, this force has been relatively weak, because women do not consider the size of their partners’ penis to be the most important determinant of their sexual satisfaction. Also, in ancestral human societies, sexual satisfaction was a secondary concern, while women had limited space to exercise mate choice. The mismatch between ancestral and modern conditions, with female choice being stronger in the present than in the past, causes anxiety in men about their ability to satisfy their partners, which is also manifested in their concerns about size.

Interesting. I read somewhere that women don't give soo much value to penis size in partner choice. While men make the size of other men very important. Hm

Size Matters: Penis Size and Sexual Position in Gay Porn Profiles
doi.org/10.1080/00918369.2017.1364568
This article combines qualitative and quantitative textual approaches to the representation of penis size and sexual position of performers in 10 of the most visited gay pornography Web sites currently in operation. Specifically, in excess of 6,900 performer profiles sourced from 10 commercial Web sites are analyzed. Textual analysis of the profile descriptions is combined with a quantitative representation of disclosed penis size and sexual position, which is presented visually by two figures. The figures confirm that these sites generally market themselves as featuring penises that are extraordinarily large and find a sample-wide correlation between smaller penis sizes (5–6.5 inches) and receptive sexual acts (bottoming), and larger (8.5–13 inches) with penetrative acts (topping). These observations are supported through the qualitative textual readings of how the performers are described on these popular sites, revealing the narratives and marketing strategies that shape the construction of popular porn brands, performers, and profitable fantasies.

Having bigger penis = the one that fucks, the more powerful one. I guess my yearning for a bigger penis also has roots in wishing to be/feel more powerful somehow.

85% of women were satisfied with their partner's penis size, only 55% of men were satisfied with their penis size, 45% wanted to be larger, and 0.2% wanted to be smaller. Satisfaction did not vary across age groups from 18 to 65. Men reporting a larger-than-average penis rated their appearance most favorably, suggesting a possible confidence effect of perceived large penis size.

Guy with big beautiful dick - women react positively on the picture but never meet him up, interesting to me cause i had this fantasy of women going cracy for big dick (and i guess for the very small percentage of sizequeens it's true but not for normal women)

Length: on one hand you have the 'hit my cervix does just hurt and is painful' while there is a minority of women that have cracy good orgasms with softly hitting cervix or going by it and there is a-spot, hm

"being just slightly over 8 inches BPEL, I could only get all the way in at one occasion with my last girl (over around 50-60 sessions). And she only found it uncomfortable. Back when I was slightly over 7 inches, half the girls could only take around 3/4, and the rest seemed uncomfortable with taking the whole thing and actually called off the sex in the middle of the act (explaining that they were "sleepy").
When I'm not able to go all the way in, I miss the body contact between the pelvic regions, as well as the contact between my balls and her perineum. That's a really yummy sensation. And one that I believe both women and men get more pleasure and arousal out of than the thought of the penis being too long."
"My wife made it clear she prefered the girth I was when we first met (5.5) now she became actively displeased when I got over 6" REGARDLESS of warm up etc."
