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!

Your misandry is showing. Can you imagine men having that same attitude towards breasts? That it sounds like something a woman would say that breast size doesn’t matter?

Breasts aren’t even a sexual organ and don’t impact pleasure in PIV sex.

Besides, that has never stopped men from having a preference so why don’t you calm down.

Least give him a chance. Yes it may seem small or he may be useless in bed

or he may not

if he is great in every other way then least sleep with him first

then make mind up

You mean men dump women over the size of their breasts?
They aren't worth knowing then are they?

Actually I think this man is too nice for OP. If she's got to post about his penis on a forum and belittle him, then let him go. Let someone else have him.
Your loss if he's a nice guy.

Penis humiliation is A Thing. Men will pay top dollar for their wee todgers to be ridiculed, mocked and derided.

MargoLivebetter · 20/10/2026 12:12

What age is this man @Taoffg ? Do you think it might be that he isn't getting fully erect because he is older? Do you think that he would be an imaginative lover? So that even if he was on the small side, he would be exciting and keen to make it great sex in other ways? Have you discussed sex with him? Does he seem keen and enthusiastic.

TBH, I think you are right to have reservations, if size is important to you. It is all very well saying that it shouldn't matter, but if it does to you, then it does. Better to acknowledge that now and work out if you think there is a way forwards or not.

Vaginal tightness or muscle tone would be a better equivalent.

girl wants what a girl wants. Mikey micro penis isnt going to measure up, stopping dicking around with him and find girthy Lenny long length and get what you need.

You have made my day with that comment. Thank you so much.

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

Thank you for making me spit my brew out laughing.

Was it a superking at least?

Hilarious 😂
God I miss the laugh icon!

I really hope the OP updates this thread! I'm rooting for this guy and hope he can deliver the goods, small dick or not.

They do. Although men can at least get an idea of whether someone’s body shape suits their preferences, so I suppose they can filter out those who don’t earlier on in the process.

I’m not sure if the purpose is to belittle him. It’s not like he’s being identified on here. I wouldn’t judge a man based off his bulge/being on the smaller size, but yes, it would be an issue for me if a man had a penis the size of a tictac because I enjoy penetrative sex.

@Zippidydoodah no three fingers together in length

3 fingers, end to end, in length? That doesn’t sound small, to be fair 😳

Wait until he’s got all his clothes off and see. If you still think that the length is too small, then I’d try to find a horse dating app, to be honest - jeez. 😂

hellomanhere · 21/10/2026 12:48

He may be able to satisfy you in other ways.

Is he rich? And generous (not in the trouser department obvs.)?

You also I presume like a good man too though who you get on with and who has a long list of good points

Your prepared to keep going then until you find a man that ticks every box and hope you can last together?

What happens if this man becomes unable to have penetrative sex through an accident or illness do you dump him then?

YellowEllie13 · 21/10/2026 21:15

I still don’t understand the three fingers in length 🤣

Iclyn · 21/10/2026 21:16

Isn't there a saying that goes something like .
It's not the size of the boat but the motion of the ocean .

Charlenedickens · 21/10/2026 21:22

Blimey are you sure, two inches long??

She’s saying it’s about two inches long,the length is the same as the width of three fingers,

Charlenedickens · 21/10/2026 21:24

That’s actually smaller than a micro penis and a medical condition,

HatKat · 21/10/2026 21:44

5128gap · 18/10/2026 21:59

Absolutely not. I cannot imagine any man ever expressing a preference for a woman's body to be a certain way. All men care about is our personalities. If we are kind decent people, they will value us for that and not give a single thought to our body parts and whether or not we will fulfil them sexually.
And if ever a man dared to suggest anything else to a group of other men, i imagine he'd be firmly scolded, called a misogynist and banned from the locker room, pub and reddit.
Why can't women be more like men?

😭😭😭😭😭

@LondonLass2026 felt it under jeans

Any update OP? Have you inspected the goods.

Would you even feel his penis if it was that small through jeans? It would be like a button mushroom.

Disturbia81 · 21/10/2026 22:32

I couldn’t be with someone with a small one. Sex is the most important to me, oral and fingers come second. There’s nothing like being fucked hard.

Rockpunkdisco · 21/10/2026 22:39

When younger and having experienced a smaller member, it really didn't make a difference. For me penetration isn't what matters iywim.

I really would rather an immense connection over such a small issue... pun intended.
