    My toy is only about 3 inches long and has a clitoral stimulator. I can EASILY achieve orgasm with the combination of these two things. HOwever, I was with a man once with about a 3 inch penis, and truly I felt no sexual satisfaction at all. Certainly NOT to say all women would feel that way. And I don't believe that is shallow. It is also safe to say that had he been an extraordinary lover, maybe it would've satisfied me more? Maybe it wasn't ALL about his size. Sometimes it's truly about compatibility but that's something evident that we can identify as "causing" the problem. Point is, even if he had an 8 inch member, he may not be a great "lover". But, I can certainly identify with the experience of feeling nothing, lying there hoping it will be over soon because you know at that point you're just (as someone else put it) their masturbation aid because you're getting nothing from it.

    Feel for ya both, it's a tough situation.

      You haven't said just how small his penis is. But it may be that doing kegels using a resistance device will make a difference.
      I did them for years without one and the device makes a big difference.

        I've looked at those devices and they are quite pricey!! Do you think that there are any 'home remedies' for a kegal device? I do them just squeezing myself and have had awesome results, but always interested in getting even better at strenghtening those muscles. Do you think a regular dildo could be used for kegal practices?

          I've done unassisted kegels for many years and noticed a significant different with a resistance device. I chose the kegel master but I know there are others. They run right around $100 US and worth every penny.

          It's not a dildo, despite it's appearance, There are springs which allow you to increase the reisistance levels as you strengthen the muscles.

            Ohhhh okay that makes the price more reasonable I was thinking it was just the shape or something.

            I want to my muscles tight not only for great sex but I've seen what letting that area go can cause.
            My mom started having trouble with incontinance in her late 50s (bladder prolapse) has tried so many mecines had so many uti's two surgeries and knowing kegals can help prevent all that keeps me motivated.

              I've never heard of resistence devices ! I'm not sure how of the exact measurement but I would say between two and a half to three inches.

                If you enjoy penetration, it just might be that he's not a good match for your needs. If sex in important to your happiness like it is for many people, its probably good to decide that now, before either of you are emotionally invested for years and you finally decide its just not enough.

                I love penetration myself, but for me I don't need it deep or thick to be satisfied. I enjoy finger penetration as much as intercourse. Its just a spot in me that needs a little stroking that isn't that deep in that does the trick. But all of our bodies are different and respond to different forums of stimulation.

                My boyfriend has an above average, well above average, large penis.. and I love it, because I love him. Its visual/mental stimulation to see it, touch it, and play with it... I will admit that.. but for sex the physical sensation of his penis isn't better than when he fingers me, it all feels just as good.

                I am not saying this is you, obviously you have discussed what your problem with his size is -- but some women are mentally turned off by a smaller penis, visually unnapealed and don't enjoy the sex as much even though the stimulation is adequate... because they immediatly assume : small penis = bad sex.... so a mental block develops, they think they won't be satisfied and so aren't.
                I think you may have a point here with the visual side of it although I had never thought of this before I was with this guy.

                I was seeing a long time friend on a casual basis before this relationship and I did like to see him in his boxers or walking around nude, and probably the same when things were good when I was with my husband. With my new man when he is not erect his penis is, well without wanting to sound horrible, like just a piece of skin, there is no 'hanging down'.

                  Is he way overweight? Pubic fatpad will hide penis at the base. For example, let's say a skinny guy has a 6" penis when erect and his pubic fatpad is .25" thick. His penis will therefore visually appear as 5.75". Let's say he gains 100 pounds. That extra weight might add .5" to his pubic fatpad and now his penis appears to be 5.25" long. Not only that, many guys are thicker at the base and covering up the penis will therefore take away from girth size. Guys can have just .25" of pubic fatpad but can also have up to several inches of pubic fatpad. The average pubic fatpad thickness is about 1". I have 1.25" of pubic fatpad, but I'm about 25 pounds overweight (ahem, in the right places , except for the extra pubic fatpad ).

                    A skinny guy putting on 100 pounds might actually add more than the .5" in my example, but you get the idea. I don't think pubic fatpad thickness is 'all' about weight, genetics also plays a role.
