The Size Debate
Maxim Australia|May 2018

Do we really have to have the size discussion anymore? Yes, there is still a debate to be had but these days it’s not a matter of size but what size exactly…

The Size Debate

The size debate is unfair and doesn’t even make sense when you start to cut down the facts. Researching for a podcast on penis size, I came across a nonsurgical penis enlargement procedure whereby the same filler that is injected into faces can also be injected into the shaft of a penis. But before you throw your hands up in the air and your pants down with glee, this procedure only increases the width of your member at flaccid stance. So, what’s the point? It was explained to me as the equivalent to a woman receiving a breast enhancement, for self-confidence and femininity. Does the issue of size have anything to do with sexual performance and just about feeling bigger and more masculine when standing at the urinal next to other men?

I asked a group of women two questions: 1. Does size matter; and 2. If so, what size is too small? Unanimously, every female in this group agreed to the first, size did matter but the explanation I received for what size did was just baffling. Some used their hands to show me what they thought was too small, other used fingers guessing from experiencing what it seemed to feel like. Some just used stories of men who were tinier than they would have liked but couldn’t express in words or numbers what that word ‘tiny’ meant. But the one thing they all agreed, even if a guy had a tiny penis but chemistry and intimacy was present, size didn’t matter — there’s a relief!
