Describing penis size

[NoTalentHack]

I write mostly in first person, so I usually don't use measurements unless it's something the character would do. For example, in a story I'm working on right now, about a bull that's questioning whether he still enjoys the whole scene, I have the line:

My dick was why I was in Drew’s guest bedroom. We both knew that. Yes, the muscles and height tickled his wife’s fancy, but it was my dick that scratched her itch. It’s nine inches long; that’s nine actual, measured inches, not “hey baby, I got nine inches.”

I won't go into describing cocks too much. I like using words like, perfect or beautiful, instead because every reader that is an admirer of male anatomy, has their own idea of what a perfect penis looks like. I'd rather their imaginations fill in that blank than mine dictate what it must be.

While I am on the subject of size. "Realistic" stories where someone takes a huge cock in their ass with spit or no lube. It's a little painful but they soon enjoy it. I call bullshit on that.

There's room for everything. In the erotic stories I mean, not in someone's virgin ass.
I personally don't feel a need to specify measurment's of someone's body (words like big, huge, thick etc. are enough), unless I write in this specific genre when it matters. For me, such stories are always self-concious and part-comedic in nature.
What kinds of sets me off is that in such stories 6 inches penis is described as small, while it's higher end of average scale.

My penis size depends on who I'm eating at the time.

I don’t usually like to go into massive detail, but I do have an unsubmitted tale where the narrator does use precise measurements. The twist is that they’re largely wrong.

It’s a teacher/student story where the cliche popular stud decides to hit on his sexy teacher, we’ve all seen it…except then he learns that she’s a lot more experienced and skilled than the girls he’s been with before, he’s only a big fish in a small pond, and he’s bitten off more than he can chew.

So when he refers to his partner’s ‘double-D’s’, he’s actually just using that as shorthand for ‘large’; he doesn’t really know what size she is. He says he’s got nine inches, but it’s a combo of exaggeration and not actually knowing how to measure properly (many such cases). Things like that.

You know. Poking fun a bit.

I think it’s not so much how big it is in terms of inches or whatever. It’s how she feels about it.

A virgin seeing her first real-life erection is likely to be at least a bit apprehensive, even if he is absolutely normal in size. It’s a Surely that won’t all fit in me! moment. A more experienced girl is going to have less worry, more anticipation. Putting it another way, there’s no need to focus on how big it is in reality when one can focus on how she perceives it. The one is trivia; the other is what makes a great tale.
