Seven Inches!!!

[AlinaX]

It's not often I get feedback by e-mail, but today this:

So um. I just wanted you to know something is a turn off. In one of your stories the guy makes his dick 12 long and 7 wide.

1. Not many girls like 12. It's a myth.
2. 7 inches isn't just bigger than...well my fist, but I prolly have smaller hands than you...but it's thicker than a softball. That's...not only too big but dumb because your dick is legit...a chub. Of all the huge dildos out there they seem longer than they are wide. It isn't half...a dick that's comfortable is like...well I'd say the biggest I've ever had was 10 but he was at most 1.5 to 2 wide. That's normal. 7 wouldn't even fit our inner thighs. 7 is bigger than my tits ffs and I'm a 32 C.

This is clearly in response to this paragraph:
Thinking about how much blood was needed to fill that cock for an erection, he decided abruptly that while bigger was generally better, some moderation was due. Several experiments later, he decided he was satisfied with twelve inches in length and seven in girth. He amused himself by watching it grow erect and then limp as he adjusted his arousal in the App.

Actually, I agree. The story even makes a point of it. ("Hold on," Dave muttered, and used the App to reduce the size of his cock. It was still well above average, but not quite so troublesome.)

Anyway, Anon, if you ever read this. Thank you for the feedback and giving me a laugh, but please note that seven inches in girth may be uncomfortably thick, but it's only two and a quarter inches wide, not seven.

Ah, the Pie are round theory.

It always astounds me how many readers confuse "diameter" with "girth" and "circumference". At 7" in girth it would be approximately 2.2" in diameter, a measurement that is uncommon, but by no means impossible. All one has to do is check out some big cock videos on the 'net to verify that.

I'm sure they read that part (7" in girth) and thought, "My god! That's as big as a fence post!" then chalked it up to the author (figuratively) stepping on his dick without ever bothering to check whether their interpretation was correct.

Oh, well. A chuckle for the day.

This leads to the idea that the dick of every man on the planet needs to be chiped with an RFID. Then the exact measurements could be exchanged easily via bluetooth.

Perineal body! That's a really important post partum thing after tears/epis

I thought this might have been about depth of snow.

When I see the word 'girth' I always think of horses for some reason, not for their monumental dick size, but something about saddles and straps.

I think one of the problems is that circumference is hard to visualize. Thickness--diameter--is comprehensible. One can imagine holding up a ruler to it. A circumference that is 3.14 times larger than diameter sounds improbably large, on its face, but it's not; it's just geometry. But it's not a geometry that makes sense in the mind the way length and width do.

Having been around equestrians most of my life, that's why I don't use that term much as an alternative to circumference. It automatically brings up a mental image of a saddle girth (or cinch if you will) for me.

Just from the sound of it, I love the word 'girth' and how it rolls off the tongue.

A Middle English word, with equestrian history, first citation in the OED is 1377 - Piers Plowman. I suspect our English ancestors had no difficulty understanding it as a word and an attribute.

No kink-shaming, please, K.

I have to agree. It is much, much easier to visualize the diameter (thickness) of an object. And I think that most people's minds automatically jump to that definition.
As an aside, I read where a computer calculated the value of pi to 62.8 trillion digits. Holy circumference Batman!

Yes, but a 7-inch wide penis would be a horror story, not a fantasy.

 

[KeithD]

No, it wouldn't. Only the anal retentive would be dwelling on actual numbers. Which is always the point I try to make when this measurements topic comes up on the board.

 

[stickygirl]

Nothing wrong with a fantasy about a blue whale's penis except bestiality
12' diameter, ten feet long to save you checking, so they've got bragging rights

 

[AlinaX]

I do hope you mean 12", not 12'.

There ya go, stressing about size again

"inches" yup

 

[ElectricBlue]

"inches" yup

Good grief, girl. First horses, now blue whales, where will it end?!

[lovecraft68]

Jeez who cares one way or another? Its fantasy and cocks and tits that are described as anatomically ridiculous just make it fall under porn absurdity. If its a click off for some people, oh, well, if others don't get hung up on the 'hung' then good deal

If we worry about every readers reaction to every detail in our stories we'd never put out any stories

 

[Zeb_Carter]

And if you really think about it, women have been pushing babies out that same orifice for eons and those heads are at least 5-6 inches wide. Ouch.

I have to congratulate the ladies for this and what y'all go through to keep the species alive and growing.

 

[PoisonPen33]

This could all be avoided if the penis was measured in metric.

 

[theMasterBaiter]

"twelve inches in length and seven in girth."

Girth: the measurement around the middle of something, aka circumference.

Diameter from circumference: Divide the circumference by π, or 3.14 for an estimation.

So about 2,23 diameter.

Nice stretch.

Now 12" inches long, is a bit much for most. Perhaps anal? But he doesn't have to put it all in.

Hell, I'd try that on. ,o)
