Should an author tell the exact size of a man's member?

[TxRad]

Yeah, every dimension in both English and metric.

Sure.... Everything is bigger in metric

At least the numbers are anyway

I've actually toyed with writing a story that parodies the use of "reward poster" descriptions built around and actual reward poster.

but as others have said, unless it is relevant to the plot -- as in a parody or satire about the practice -- measurements are lazy and more often grotesque rather than erotic.

Yes, but you should always write out the numbers - it's easier on the eyes. Besides, it's just lazy to use numerals.

OMG, that brings to mind the scene in "Porky's" when Ms Ballwrecker was asking the principal for a "short arm" inspection of all the senior boys.

I think that stating the size of a man's cock cheapens the story, just like I think describing a woman's breasts by her cup size cheapens the story. For instance, "Then I pulled down his shorts to reveal his throbbing 8-inch cock..." makes me wonder why the author assumed that the readers all like 8-inch cocks. Some people want guys more average sized, some want huge guys...it takes away from the images I was forming when I read something like that.

I like reading things like, "...and then I slid myself down the length of his long, hard cock until he was completely buried inside me," or, "He gently cupped my milky-white breasts in his hands, each one slightly bigger than he could grasp," or something to that effect. In the former example, a reader is free to imagine whatever length cock will turn them on the most. Same with the breasts...I haven't said how big the hero's hands are and so she might have small breasts and she might have larger breasts, again, leaving it up to the reader to imagine whatever turns them on the most.

For me I don't think you could have said it any better.

When you are reading an erotic story do you like it when the author describes a male character’s cock size in inches? Would you like it better if it was left up the readers imagination or do you want to know every detail?

If the inches of a cock are pertinent to a story (too small or too large) sure, write it. If not? The only thing important to me is whether or not it is hard and veining.

OMG! That was a hot scene! lol

 

[Bizkit_Writer]

i prefer to just imagine the size of the man's cock when I'm reading it gives the story mystery and more pleasure!

When you are reading an erotic story do you like it when the author describes a male character’s cock size in inches? . . .

Only if I was into construction.

 

[Anna_Malia75]

If the narrator of the story is a juvenile male (age not important, ), then by all means ("My nine-incher was ready for town"). Otherwise, no. It's no different than those constant references to 36-C boobs. You can't fucking care that much, or the rest of us would never get laid.

Sorry. Please go back to your thread now.

If we're gonna talk numbers, I'd rather know how long he can last ... in each position.

Wanna get constructed?

I've got a spreadsheet.

Construction of cocks?

Well you do know how to raise 'em.

Thank you.

I couldn't vote, because I'd want to know his cock's size in parsecs.

(Mine's 6.58525782 × 10-18)

Finally! A measuring stick where nobody will feel small. er. ten to the minus eigtheen? You go, subjoe!

 

[lisa123414]

] I'd much rather read about how he has a thick long hard cock preparing to shoot a hot load than how he has a 13 inch long 4 inch wide cock.

mmm, don't know about this. If he is 13 by 4, I think "big" or "huge" does not do it justice.


Else tell us he has a big one, just like Ed Teach!

*um, Anna? yanno what a parsec is?*


by the way, Joe, are you doing anything tonight?

 

[Guest]

Whatever happened to "Show, don't tell?"

Besides, a gentleman never tells.

 

[galaxygoddess]

Honestly, just too damn technical.

I'll blame my bad judge of size on this, but if I hear "he pulled out his 8 in cock and.." I'm going to stop, grab a ruler and then try to figure this out. I swear, I do it everytime. I try to figure out how this looks. And then later go... wait... was I reading something? Why am I trying to figure this shit out?

 

[TE999]

Definitely a back click if measurements are in the first paragraphs.

Sloppy writing--and juvenile to boot.

Sorta like 'Letters to Penthouse'.

To quote from an editorial comment:

You seem obsessed with statistics. When I look at a woman I don’t think in terms of how many inches her bust is. I don’t believe that a woman looks at a man’s penis and thinks, ‘How many inches is that?’ Compare: “In came Mrs. Fezziwig. She was 5’ 11”, 280lbs, 48DD-44-48. She was smiling.” with Charles Dickens’ original: “In came Mrs. Fezziwig, one vast substantial smile.” I don’t expect you to write like Dickens, but I do hope you’ll stop writing like a police pathologist.

Only if it adds something appreciable to the thrust of the story. If precise depictions of cock size can encourage some heat then I say yes add that to the story. Does it add something to the story is the pertinent question.

 

[emap]

The 13 by 4 inch cock is in reference to a story I have read. She says it is that and then goes on to talk about how he shoves it all the way in and she feels a little full.

So by the definition of the size in the story, measurement aside, he is simply long and thick, not baseball bat size.

 

[Anna_Malia75]

*um, Anna? yanno what a parsec is?*

Well, not exactly. But it's really big, right? So it seems to me that the poor guy who's "only" six inches won't seem that small compared to the guys with the seven- or eight-incher that always pop up D) in these stories. Now if it was done in centimeters...

Measurements sound tacky and cheap as hell.
