Stupid, Stupid question regarding Sex. Not a troll, promise

But name-changed because I'm embarrassed at not knowing this and don't particularly want it following me forever more on mumsnet! (Greggs, wolefs, cod, nobdies etc)

Question is, I'm 5ft 2in. My one and only sexual partner was 5ft 6in. We broke up last year and I've now began seeing someone else who is 6ft 5in. We've not had sex yet but my question is, is sex likely to be an awkward affair? I genuinely don't know. Not trying to be funny or wacky or anything. I suppose what I'm really asking is are men usually "in proportion" iyswim?

oh fuck it, is it gonna hurt basically?

Makes beggar all difference. No link at all.

See also shoe size and levels of hair loss.

You never know what's in there until you check it out for yourself. Could be anything. Like Christmas innit?

OnlyANinja · 16/01/2012 12:14

Could be difficult to kiss at the same time.

I used to date a guy of 5ft 8 who had a real porn star look going on below his belt buckle. I also knew a guy of 6ft 5, and I am reliably informed by his disappointed girlfriend that it was like waving a cocktail sausage down the grand canyon. Men and their little (or not so little) friends come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Height is not a reliable indicator of penis size at all.

Sidge · 16/01/2012 12:20

His manhood won't necessarily be proportionately longer/thicker.

But you will find sex standing up impossible.

Fromheaven · 16/01/2012 12:23

Suck it and see!

JuliaScurr · 16/01/2012 12:34

Sidge She could wear heels
Though that could cause balance issues

ToriaPumpkin · 16/01/2012 12:36

I have friends who are 6'4 and 5'2 and currently TTC so apparently not a huge issue :)

Agree that height is not a reliable indicator of penis size, my ex was taller than DH and built like a chipolata while DH does just nicely thank you!

fiventhree · 16/01/2012 12:44

Well, my experience has been slightly different, but it is a generalisation.

I have found that thick set broad shouldered men - ie wider body frame- have thicker ones. Length- not alot of difference.

I am 5 ft 3.5 in, and have never found size a problem.

So you really have no need to worry. The vagina is a muscle which stretch as necessary.

And for that matter, many years ago I had sex a few times with someone very small and thin, in all senses. And he was dynamite in bed!

MedusaIsHavingABadHairDay · 16/01/2012 22:13

Your vagina is designed to expel a baby weighing an average of 7 pounds and with the head like a coconut! I've never come across a man with a coconut width willy yet... or with a length of 58 cm (that was my last baby..lanky child!)

You'll be fine.. Grin

Dontbugmemalone · 16/01/2012 22:24

Doesn't make any difference in my experience. As someone else mentioned, sex standing up is very hard, but I have trouble with that anyway.

Have fun, that's the most important thing Grin

likeatonneofbricks · 16/01/2012 22:24

eh? it's nor exactly enjoyable to expel a baby!
Seriously, the width is never a problem (well, unless extremely large - remember Sex And The City, when even Samantha couldn't go through with it?Grin), but length can well be extremely uncomfortable if you are small.

whomovedmychocolate · 16/01/2012 22:29

IME it can make a difference.

Apparently everyone is the same size when lying down though.

DH is a foot taller than me and it works.

MooncupGoddess · 16/01/2012 22:37

Isn't there a correlation with nose size?

Actually my main problem when going out with someone nine inches taller than me was walking alongside each other, his stride was much longer than mine and I was continually having to skip to keep up with him!

mike1May · 16/01/2012 22:45

What you've got down there can expand to fit a baby. Now unless his cock weighs 7 lbs and is 14 inches long, you can handle it!

Bogeyface · 16/01/2012 22:45

DH has a v large gentleman and its no problem but then after squeezing a baby out, nothing would scare me! But, bigger is better so I think that being with anyone else would be a disappointment!

Oh and he has ridiculously large feet too, think Side Show Bob! His feet are bigger than my BIL who is almost a foot taller.

But he is only 5'10" (BIL is 6'6" btw!) so No, there is no correlation between height and gentleman size!

AKissIsNotAContract · 16/01/2012 22:45

I don't think there is any correlation between height and genital size. I'm 6ft and I don't have a giant fanjo.

Bogeyface · 16/01/2012 22:47

Ahem, his feet are not bigger than my brother in law, they are however, bigger than my brother in law's feet (who is above average but not massive according to my sister btw!) :o

paulapantsdown · 16/01/2012 22:50

with regards to the height difference - "a felled tree is easy climbed" Smile

in my rather extensive experience (how I miss my 20's!), the tallest man I ever went with was 6'5, and he was really well built - he had a willy the size of my index finger - erect

DH is 5'6 (i am 5'8) and is more than adequate for me thanks

whomovedmychocolate · 16/01/2012 22:51

Re nose size - nose size increases with age, whereas penii are fixed in size from about 14.

Freshlettice · 16/01/2012 22:56

It's a whole science guessing size depending on body shape, but in my experience, here goes:
Big - boned, wiry men, whether tall or average tend to be well-hung. They may or may not have big noses! But usually have big knuckles and knees.
Round chubby short men with delicate hands have small ones. With pointy ends.
Square set men, stocky with short necks ( like most of my lovely local welshmen here) have huge balls and their willy sits on top - always shorter than the balls but thicker.
Farmers are always hung like donkeys, everyone knows that. Haha.

Foot or nose size not usually an indication, but I always look at men's hands, quite apart from liking them to be clean, their fingers often look surprisingly like their dicks. Lol. Some have knobbly knuckles, some have blobby ends, some are tapered etc etc...

Bogeyface · 16/01/2012 22:58

Sorry fresh but your theory breaks down with DH!

Perhaps he was a farmer in a previous life :o

Freshlettice · 16/01/2012 23:00

But actually, I prefer my DH, who is normal but bloody good. Blush

Freshlettice · 16/01/2012 23:01

Lol Bogey

OlympicEater · 16/01/2012 23:01

Freshlettice I am in awe of your expertise Grin
