Rebecca is examining her own preconceived notions about penis size this week. I like the way she takes herself on here. Penis size is a difficult subject for women to handle honestly. We have been schooled in the feminine ways and wiles. Don't hurt their feelings. The male ego is fragile. Tell him how big he is even if he isn't.
"I prefer a large dick--and by large, I mean a little more than the average six inches and a little more than the average thickness. Rebecca's Big Toy would have daunted me (even post-childbirth.) I have known two men in my life--one white, one black--who were extraordinarily endowed, ten and eleven inches. That was somewhat challenging, but infinitely more appealing than a big piece of plastic.
One of our reader’s (Thank you) commented: “ Rebecca was going to explain her fascination with size. Why did she go for the largest dildo in the shop?”
I answered “Quite frankly, the bigger penises had better ‘shelf appeal’”. There could be many reasons for that. In my articles I think I have said or implied that the size preference is most certainly a matter of social conditioning. Then of course, what one can't get with certainty in a sexual toss up, one can purchase with certainty. In short, my choice of the largest dildo in the shop was motivated by buying power, advertising and my own naivete.
The real answer: I have no fucking clue other than I had a wad of cash burning a hole in my pocket and the big toy was a “luxury” model. As I began to write an answer to the reader’s comment, I had an explanation in mind. Then I could not figure out for myself why penis size was an issue. Shouldn’t what we want in a penis (or dildo) be simply: Does this equipment work for me and is its selection relative to my experience, needs and desires?
The reality is that the average penis measures six inches in length. Let’s really think about this. How big is the vaginal canal? Please don’t answer. As I have gotten older and “self educated” I learned that an extremeness on either side of the median is off putting. The sexual Goldilocks theory not too big, not too little but just right. Or in common language “OWW!” “Is it in?” And my favorite “Ohh baby, yes.”
The word empowerment has come up again. I shall use an edited Wikipedia definition.
Empowerment is probably the totality of the following or similar capabilities:
- Having decision-making power of one's own
- Having access to information and resources for taking proper decision
- Having a range of options from which you can make choices (not just yes/no, either/or.)
- Ability to exercise assertiveness in collective decision making
- Having positive thinking on the ability to make change
- Ability to learn skills for improving one's personal or group power.
- Ability to change others’ perceptions by democratic means.
- Involving in the growth process and changes that is never ending and self-initiated
- Increasing one's positive self-image and overcoming stigma
- Increasing ones ability in discreet thinking to sort out right and wrong
In short, the empowerment is the process that allows one to gain the knowledge, skill-sets and attitude needed to cope with the changing world and the circumstances in which one lives.
Let us think about that in the 21st Century in the USA. We still teach abstinence education. I write this because there were things that I learned through circumstances. I don’t recommend this method.
So me I have chosen Haagen Daz as my Companion and you as the girlfriends, sisters, brothers, boyfriends and the lovers. Hopefully, I will share my stories with you while working through my sugar high and we will all figure it out.
