Who can resist witty talk about willies?<br />I'm a fan of the biggus dickus in romance myself (goes along with all that larger-than-life stuff), but average is cool too. The obsession doesn't surprise me. After all, an appendage that gets big when aroused is pretty damned interesting and an appendage that gets REALLY big when aroused is really interesting, LOL. I read a great book called A Mind of Its Own: A Cultural History of the Penis. It's filled with lovely factoids about largeness including details about an ancient Greek festival in honor of Dionysis (I HAVE to write a book about him someday)in which "a golden phallus 180 feet long and topped by a gold star was carried through the streets as a half million people listened to poems sung in its honor". I would have liked to be in that crowd!Jennifer Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991273375923779374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983687699975451453.post-20138435751748089242009-04-29T15:25:00.000-04:002009-04-29T15:25:00.000-04:00"love lever!"

(I will HAVE to pass that phrase to our copy writers!)<br /><br />In my fiction I did refer to the hero's gargantuan anatomy once, but our heroine was a virgin at the time. She'll learn. In a sequel I have another hero who's rather small for his size, but since his whole body is quite large, his smallness makes him, well, "just right," as I'm sure Red Riding Hood would have said once she'd grown up.<br /><br />Now I just have to figure how that works from the hero's PoV.

Anything above 11 is getting into "too much" category. Most men are about 6" IME.<br /><br />There's a commercial on the satellite radio that it's not really length, it's width. I can't argue with that.<br /><br />I find a fascination with exact measurements, whether penis or breast, to be a more masculine writing trait. I may call a man nicely built or describe it, but you (collective you) have my permission to flog me with a wet noodle should I ever give an exact inch measurement in a scene that does not include a tape-measure.Angelia Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980408280435868479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983687699975451453.post-90356907160065393352009-04-22T21:13:00.000-04:002009-04-22T21:13:00.000-04:0014? 14? 14?!?My legs are crossed so tightly they...14? <I>14?</I> <I>14?!?</I>My legs are crossed so tightly they may never open now.<br /><br />Anyway...<br /><br />What I always want to know is how these heroines know the exact length.

The reply that stuck with me the most, translated pretty directly, is, "Women who say that size doesn't matter are either lying or inexperienced." I agree. However, IMO, chemistry is more important than skill and skill/attentiveness is more important than size.
