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

[TxRad]

Tell me about yours, handsome.

Or better yet, show, don't tell.

I would but Lit's photo size rule prevents me from embarrassing myself.

 

[oggbashan]

I wrote a story - for Nude Day of course - about a large one: Pride

It was submitted under Romance. Perhaps it should have been humour.

It really depends on the overall story and the stated size. If the overall story is good and the author handles stating the size without drawing away from the action, it is fine. Also, in size queen stories, stating ridiculous lengths is a turn off. 13 inches, really? 8,9,10 is good, 11,12 pushing it. In general, I would say it doesn't matter either way so long as the author doesn't have to stop the flow just to get the size in and so long as the size isn't absurd. Of course there are those humor stories where being absurd is the point and those are the exception to a lot of rules.

I agree.

I think that if the author can also include volumetric displacement, muzzle velocity, and other relevant ballistics data -- again, without interrupting the flow of the storytelling -- that, too, adds polish to a great piece of erotica.

What's wrong with having the person about to be impaled offer a clue instead like, "Holy Shit, put that thing away before someone gets hurt. That thing should be registered as a lethal weapon. No way in Hell you are using that thing on me."


Or the reverse, "And just who do you think you are going to please with that? Although it is kinda cute...and tiny."

What is the exact length and girth of Priapus' erection?

About an inch shorter than he tells his girlfriend it is

Numbers mean nothing, except to some men. My theory: let everyone fantasize. If a big cock or huge tits are the issue, then I bet a 32 J is going to be as much a turn on as writing 11-inches to any reader. However, a cock pulsing and bulging with cum, so huge she wasn't sure if it would even fit into her tight, pink pussy ... or tits so full and voluptuous that he/she drowned in the valley of her cleavage ...

 

[bronzeage]

In my experience, women readers like physical description of color, texture, maybe taste, and everything else except a measurement. The only time I have seen a length given in a story, it was to indicate either a very large penis, or a very small one.

I think exaggerated body parts appeal to a fetishists, but they detract from a general erotic story. It depends on the intended audience.

 

[jomar]

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

I tell it by the millimetre. For example, I have one character who has a 193 mm long and 146 mm round member and it satisfies his lover who has a 187 mm deep vagina.

I've come to believe it's a bad idea to be overly specific about anything measurable.

I agree, when you don't say the exact number you let the readers mind wonder and fantasize. A 34B could be large to one person, while 36D maybe small to another.

Ten inches could be small to one woman, while four inches could be big to another. *nods*

Why ?

Now, this here is a good writin'!

I think I dated both women.

Where do you fall on this discussion?

 

[Handley_Page]

Some years ago, when a Man's Magazine had good photographs of very pretty girls not wearing a lot, and interesting articles about Cards, Chess, Cars and the occasional Aeroplane, they had a letters section.

One time, this young lady complained about an unusual problem. It seems her ex was Very Well Hung. So well, in fact, that it had taken her nearly a year to be able to take all of his member inside her. Then they broke up, and her question was wondering how long before her everything went back to 'normal'.

The Editor, a man of both brevity & humour, replied: "You have our sympathy, Madam".

 

[Lisa Summers]

Slightly OT, but here's a pm I just got on a related topic. Since it's a random spam-like request (I'm not really a penis expert), please feel free to counsel this lady (Aliciatuchman).

Hi, I'm Alicia, 35, married, in NY, hope u don't mind me messaging you but im new here, saw your are online and so thought I'd try. I have a situation I hope to get some advice or help with. It is about a young man I know (18) who is somewhat mentally behind due to a very sheltered upbringing (raised and homeschooled by his gramma out in the mountains of KY, no school, no tv, no others around). He is a foster who recently moved into my sister's home. it is a penis size situation (very unusual) and I am wondering if you know someone on here who would be willing to counsel him, by chatting online, and gently teach him about penis sizes. thanks

I think I dated both women.

Which woman did you prefer?

 

[Xelebes]

I think I dated both women.

Were they the same woman?

 

[FreshlyDirty]

Ten inches could be small to one woman

The QUEEN of Size Queens. Would it be wrong to assume the woman who says Ten in is to small for her is a slut? I know it wouldn't neccesarily mean she's a slut, but to think she's most likely a slut, would that be wrong?

A story should be like real life. I always carry a tape measure in my purse.

When meeting a man I ALWAYS tell him to pull down his pants so I can measure.

8 ¾.... don't waste my time. 8 7/8..... your place or mine.

NOT

You had me going there, until the end. Tape measure foreplay is a nice way to get acquainted. It helps bridge that awkward space after you've decided to get a room or just do it in the car.
