But a small penis doesn't have to stop you from having an awesome sex life, and a recent Reddit thread is here to help. On a mission to help her man feel more confident in bed, one woman asked the following question on r/AskReddit : Men with [a] short penis, what is your go to sex position?
I love my guy and I really want him to stop being conscious of [having a] short penis," she wrote. "This is because he keeps on comparing himself with those guys on porn.
The tiny-peened community (along with the women who love them) was quick to help out this well-intentioned girlfriend, offering up ideas for positions, as well as some broader thoughts about having sex with a short-penised man. Here are some of the best answers from men with fun-sized dicks and their partners:
From spiderevans : "One great position I find for depth is to have the woman on her side with the man kneeling over one of her legs whilst holding the other in the air/to the side. Not sure about the name but it gives the man a lot of control and ability to provide real depth." (FYI, he was describing a position called "The Pretzel" which you can see here .)
From rock_bottom_feeder : "Try putting a pillow under your butt to help him get a bit deeper. Or have him straddle one leg and raise the other. Both work great for more penetration regardless of size."
From s_team7 : "Could you lay on your back with your legs behind your head? He should [get] pretty good clearance with that."
From hamsterhoe : "My boyfriend enjoys missionary, doggy style (you have to hoist your butt all the way up and your face must be pressed against the bed), cowgirl is good too since I can control the movements. Another one he really likes is when I ride him while he is sitting on a chair." : "Porn doesn't reflect reality at all. He probably is around average but assumes he is smaller due to thinking porn size is the average but fuck no. Most guys aren't walking around with 9 inches."
From dilapidated-soul : "Most aren't walking around with 7 either you realize. That's over average too. I hate it when the Internet does this."
From Rangermatthias : "The average is just over 5 inches. Measure him and see. Butt plugs make your pussy extra tight. That may help also."
From baby_lucifer : "Just be positive, if it doesnt bother you and you both have a healthy sex life what does it matter? Let him know how much you enjoy sex with him and how he pleases you and it shouldnt be an issue to much, also let him know constantly porn is unrealistic and compare it to a sexual situation you two would never be caught in. Like maybe a 3 some with the pizza guy?"
From ooojaeger : "I'm average but my girlfriend is a big girl so what I say to myself is that my dick ain't big enough to be banging big girls, but what are you gonna do. It might as well be an inch or two shorter with her. Legs, thighs and butts all get in the way. Doggy is a bit difficult. And that's with a girl with no butt. But missionary is never a problem, but the more you can get your legs out of the way the better and more dick is utilized. We also use a pillow that elevates the hips. I'm not sure that it just feels deeper to her or if it gets deeper but both ideas are good ones to me."
