Does Size Really Matter? Let’s Talk About It

The Truth About Intimacy and Inches

At least once a week I’m asked the very loaded question:

Is my size okay?

It’s fascinating how this one little question can turn big, confident men into nervous, uncertain young boys. Usually I respond in the most reassuring and diplomatic way possible, carefully protecting the fragile male ego. But today, I’m not tip-toeing around it. I’m not here to be harsh, only honest. This doesn’t need to be such a sensitive topic. Let’s approach it with curiosity, humour, and a little lightness, because sex should be fun, not stressful.

If you want my honest answer?

Yes, size does matter.

Just not in the way you might think.

Allow me to explain...

Contrary to Popular Belief

Despite what porn may suggest, most women are not desperately craving enormous, intimidating anatomy. For many, an extremely large member can actually be uncomfortable or overwhelming. Bigger isn’t automatically better. Context matters, comfort matters, and skill matters even more.

So what do women want? That depends on the situation...

How Size Matters in the Sex Industry

When it comes to escorting, extremes in either direction can present challenges. Most providers prefer something comfortably in the middle: not too big, not too small, but just right. Think of her as Goldi-cocks!

Every escort has had an experience where a macho man packing an absolute anaconda, waltzes in and presents it to us expecting praise and appreciation. Little does he know that she is trying desperately to hide her impending sense of dread. Very large equipment can require more preparation, patience, and care. Without proper warm-up and attentiveness, it can be physically uncomfortable. And since this is our work, physical wellbeing matters. Leaving us feeling sore, ultimately reduces our capacity to make any more money that day. Let’s not forget that this is our job and there are economics at play; we’re not purely in it for the sex (although it is an attractive bonus). Another factor to consider is that men with a veritable "third leg" can often find themselves slightly soft or only partially erect. A much stronger blood flow is required to achieve effective circulation, and brandishing a less-than-hard rod tends to poke and prod us in all the wrong ways. In short (or rather, in long...), big tools are not all they're cracked up to be, and respect for a partner’s body is all the more essential.

At the other end of the spectrum, very small peckers can create practical issues. If the closer-fit condom (the smallest commercially available size) leaves some wiggle-room rather than fitting snugly, there is a risk that the condom may slip off.

That said, a true professional knows how to work with whatever utensil you are bringing to the table. Experience, adaptability, and enthusiasm matter far more than measurements. Fortunately, the vast majority of men fall within an average range anyway. And here’s the important part: size alone has very little to do with how pleasurable the experience is. When I think back on a memorable encounter, I don’t think about inches or girth. I remember the connection. The kissing. The touch. The attention. The way someone made me feel. Those are the qualities that define a truly satisfying lover.

How Size Matters in the “Real World”

My personal preferences outside of work are slightly different, but the principle remains the same.

Yes, a larger size can be visually appealing, and society often attaches a sense of status or pride to it. But if a big dick is attached to an even bigger dick, I don’t want a bar of him. In dating, kindness, respect, and care are far more attractive qualities, and I would never dismiss someone like this because of size. Penetration alone rarely creates pleasure for most women anyway. If you ignore a woman’s clitoris, no amount of size will compensate. A smaller partner who is attentive, skilled with touch, and generous in bed will always be far more satisfying than someone relying on size alone. Enthusiasm, sensitivity, and connection create great lovers... not measurements.

Learn Your Strengths

We’ve all heard the phrase: “It’s not the size that matters, it’s how you use it.” There is truth in this statement, but I think it’s a little misleading. There is no single “correct” way to have sex. There’s no universal sword-wielding technique that works for every body. What matters is understanding your own body and communicating with your partner. Confidence comes from awareness, not comparison. Different sizes suit different rhythms, positions, and approaches. So the question is: Do you know your man downstairs well enough to play to his strengths? Preparation, patience, and responsiveness will always improve the experience for both people involved.

If you're a guy with a big banana, foreplay and lube are going to be your best friends. Merely presenting your boner to her is not enough to get her wet. If she's on top in cowgirl, allow her to lie close to you, chest-to-chest. Do not push her up into a seated-in-the-saddle position because you’re going to poke her in the cervix and that really hurts… a lot! The good news is, that only guys with a long shlong are able to achieve standing position. This just doesn’t work as well with a shorter salami.

Small guys, you’re not going to like what I’m about to say. Doggy and flat-doggy (prone bone) are not going to be the best positions for you, especially if your lady has a little extra junk in the trunk. You’re going to find it difficult to get all up in that. Stick to angles that work in your favour, such as missionary, with her legs spread wide to allow you the most access.

A Few Universal Truths

Regardless of size, some things apply to everyone:

• Foreplay matters. Arousal and connection make everything better.

• Slower is often better. Pleasure thrives in rhythm, not urgency.

• Sensitivity beats force. Pay attention to your partner’s responses.

• Let go of performance pressure. Presence is far more attractive than anxiety.

Sometimes the most powerful thing a man can do is relax, be receptive, and enjoy the shared experience, rather than trying to control it.

Three practical tips from a woman who knows...

Firstly, you don’t always have to be the one doing the fucking. Sometimes you should just lay still and let her fuck you. We know you’re just trying to help, but if we’re in cowgirl you can throw off our rhythm by doing too much underneath us. If you grip our hips and yank us up and down it can mess up our flow. And if you try to thrust upwards to meet us, we will feel like we’re riding a Bucking Bull. Sometimes you just have to learn to take it.

Secondly, I’ve never met a girl who likes jackhammer sex. We’re not rabbits in the wild trying to copulate before an opportunistic predator ambushes us. So, what’s the rush? If it’s stinging your balls as you slap against her, then it’s stinging her pussy too and you're doing too much.

Thirdly, remember to stroke, not poke. You know that Magic Mike move where he grinds his groin against the floor? The one that's kind of reminiscent of the 80s worm. Well there’s a reason girls practically squeal when we see that. That motion of the abs, hips, pelvis and thighs working in a synchronised wave, shows us that here’s a man who knows how to fuck! Because instead of smashing away like a big brute, he’s sensuously stroking the ground beneath him in a delicious rhythm. It’s all about the stroke!

So… Does Size Matter?

Yes. But it matters far less than confidence, attentiveness, and genuine connection. Your body is not the most important part of your sexual presence. Your awareness, generosity, and willingness to learn are what truly define you as a lover. So stop worrying about something you can’t change. Be it a bratwurst or a cocktail wiener, it’s really not all that serious. Get out of your head about it, and learn your strengths.

Be curious. Be attentive. Be present.

Trust me, you’ll have a much better time.

And so will she.
