To think I can make this work even though he’s so small?

Can’t actually believe I’m posting this. Been seeing someone for two months, first couple of weeks it was a couple of coffees and then it became more. I am fast falling for this person, he is everything I have been looking for in someone and has shown nothing but kindness, decency and care.

But I do love sex and it’s a big part of a relationship for me. We’ve had some fumbles and I can tell he is very small even when erect. It’s not thin as well as short, mainly just short. I feel a bit ridiculous saying this as of course size shouldn’t matter if you truly want to be with someone and I think I actually could ignore that part of it if I needed to, but I’m wondering if anyone else has a man like this but sex is still good and fulfilling as in the penetration? I know there’s plenty of other stuff to do but this is new territory for me as I think it is much below average size!

ps NC for obvious reasons but been on here for years!

Yes i was thinking the same.I think it's really shallow to judge or choose a partner for the size of either.As grown adults someone really should love someone for who they are inside as a person, not what their body parts look like.

On the contrary I think it’s realistic and grown up and very honest - the poster says she loves sex -

how niave you sound - body parts!!! The poster hasnt mentioned it’s about what they look like - she is concerned she will have a forfilling sexual experience - it’s about what they will feel like

love comes later down the line

Its not what it looks like, its what it feels like inside the OP.

If youre asexual and dont care about sexual intimacy that's cool for you, but dont expect everyone else to feel that way. For the vast majority of people sex is an intrinsic part of a relationship, and that means size can matter.

Thats not shallow. Your judgement on that is very one dimensional.

Well said

it’s a friendship o my without sex

CarbonelKitten · 18/10/2026 22:21

Yes 😆 and wouldn't be for me. I love a well crafted cock 🍆

You’re a bit naive if you’ve never heard of a humiliation fetish.

Some men get off on women laughing at / disparaging small penises. Sometimes it’s men who really are small, but sometimes it’s men who are a perfectly normal size.

That’s why you should never take the advice of Mumsnetters who say you should respond to unsolicited dick pics by saying it’s small, pathetic or whatever or threatening to share it. In a significant number cases, that is precisely what the man wants you to do, because it turns them on.

BigWig78 · 18/10/2026 22:24

i had a few ONS after my marriage ended and one guy was not well-endowed at all- maybe 2.5 inches erect but normal girth. But OMFG that man knew how to make it up with his fingers and tongue and how he pressed his groin against me when he was PIV (I guess like lesbians maybe do? Like the pubic bone against the clitoris?) so honestly the sex was amazing. We actually had a bit of a FWB thing as I did not want a relationship but the sex was fab and I only ended it as he had feelings for me. Bless him.
Had we ended up in a relationship I’m sure he’d have been open to using a dildo etc as he would surely know he wasn’t the normal length- but if this guys a good ‘un I wouldn’t let the possible length of his penis end his chances.

Tinydanceer · 18/10/2026 22:27

@BigWig78 about the pubic bone. -I’ve had that experience too

from all the posts thus far OP it sound alike those not well endowed are much better at the whole thing

It’s not that complicated!

In such posts, the OP is a man with a humiliation fetish pretending to be a woman concerned about the small genitals of her new boyfriend. The man is getting off on the idea of a woman feeling how small and inadequate he is, and describing it to other women on the internet.

I’ve certainly seen similar on Mn before now.

FrangipaniBlue · 18/10/2026 22:29

Maybe he’s a grower not a shower?

EmeraldShamrock000 · 18/10/2026 22:30

He might be bigger. As he hasn't tried to take things further i suspect he isn't not.

No you could have said that first and foremost instead of just giving a weird one liner

you can report the post if you think that

I’m not that invested. And I can’t help you if you’ve never heard of a humiliation fetish.

What sanctimonious guff. People are attracted to all sorts of things and that’s perfectly fine. And it’s completely normal and natural for grown adults to want strong sexual attraction and a satisfying sex life. It’s a human trait. Biology.

I strongly doubt anyone is loving someone solely for ‘what their body parts look like’ but clearly, looks do play a part in sexual attraction. If they didn’t, everyone would just marry their best friends.

You might well think you’re terribly enlightened for being attracted to what someone’s like on the inside but I bet there are still physical things that would be a dealbreaker for you.

me!! Three fingers width long 🫪 I think I've got that right now. That is really tiny, poor guy, I think most women wouldn't fancy that much

No help needed - you didn’t explain fully what you were saying - just gave a one liner

you are Posting a lot given your fear - seems quite invested

Their post is very virtue signalling - if only it were true I’d just marry my best friend of the same sex

@notspringingback yes this is what I was thinking.

I do really value the intimacy with sex though, being together in that moment.

I don’t know if I’m not feeling it fully under his jeans and maybe it’s not AS small as it seems

Ffs, so you made this post without actually having seen his penis yet?

Goodness this is getting a bit dull. If you think the poster is a bloke with a kink, then please report. Otherwise, take the poster at face value and give advice. No need to harangue another poster.
