What is my endowment?

[MetroMike]

If you've used Adult Friend Finder before, you may have notice that in the profile section, the men are asked to report their endowment. For length the options are: short, average, long, very long. For girth: thin, average, thick, very thick.

I'm not sure what to choose for myself, so I thought I'd ask ya'll to vote on this poll, and help me out. My length is 7 1/4", measured across the top without pressing into the pubic area. My girth at the middle of my shaft is 5 3/8".

The poll doesn't include all options, just the ones I think aren't too unrealistic.

Thanks.

You know, this whole endowment thing is fine, I guess, if that's a concern to a lot of people. However, at this point in my life, I think I'd rather have the endowment of a university, even if it's just the annual endowment. Or the endowment of some of the better colleges. That way I think I could satisfy myself and ANY potential playmates...one way or another.

Wait...that's not what you meant? Geez Louise, no wonder this lifestyle thing is so confusing...

Okay, I'd vote average/thick. Anyways, I just would not take much store in the whole size thing. I've said this before. Now, I'm pretty new as a swinger, but not new as a woman lol. I have just never looked at a man in my life and wondered if he was long and thick lol. No joke. It is important to some women I suppose, but I think its more of a status symbol almost, but perhaps I am wrong. My initial gauge are a few things. I love men's eyes, a man who takes care of his hair and smells nice. I love men's arms. Hell, I love men's shapes in general lol. But I never say to myself "I wonder if he is packing 8 inches", lol, I seriously don't. But hey, whatever floats your boat I suppose.

Is "endowment" a required field on the AFF profiles?

LOL...I have to say I haven't either. That is never a consideration for me in choosing a playmate. I just don't get why some find size important. But I've been told I'm just not normal (and that wasn't even about sex). "Not normal" seems to be working for me.

Not exactly. You can choose "Prefer Not to Say". I don't know about the rest of you, but if I saw "Prefer Not to Say", I'd be thinking "really, really small."

Keep the votes coming folks.

Thanks.

I guess this is just me, (Mrs. LFM) but I really don't care about endowment. What I do want to know about is the man behind the endowment. I want to know all about him and I hope the size of his endowment isn't brought up in that particular conversation.

You know, and I've said it and heard it before, I'm tired of seeing their endowment when I open up the site.

No, it isn't just you, I've seen plenty of women on this site who say it doesn't matter. I've also heard a few say that it really does matter a lot. My uneducated guess would be that it matters somewhat to most women.

Now, why am I asking this? To tell the truth, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't selling my self short. I was (and may still depending on how the vote goes) just going to choose average/average. Being able to choose a bigger size, and not feel like I was lying, will boost my confidence in my body. I'm already completely comfortable with my personality, intelligence, sense of humor , etc.

And since size (length and girth) matters for some women, every little bit more helps (up to a point).

OK, but if you choose 'prefer not to say' then, in essence, you're saying;
Short, narrow, small as hell! LOL!

[pumpkins1970]

I didn't see hung like a squirrel up there J/K, but really, size doesn't matter, and if you are worried people may think you're under-equipped, you could always post a pic on aff.

[northindycpl]

I have to dito the other respondents.

Size is really not important. It is the man and the action behind it.

(or maybe that is behind me....?)

Okay, if you are already confident with these things as a man, you would probably at least have my attention and interest. Seriously and literally, the girth of your penis would be the last thing I would be thinking about.

Thanks for votes and replies folks.

I have one small quibble though. How can a thread have 307 views, but only 17 votes?

Yeah, that's the problem with the AFF approach. The overwhelming majority of people answer the question - which casts suspicion on those who "prefer not to say".

When we are at a soft swap stage, I used to think that size didn't matter at all. When we began to full swap, I realized I had been wrong. Beyond a certain point, small is very dissatisfying. Of course, I'm not one of those people who believe that a sex partner's pesonality stimulates orgasms.

It doesn't seem you're getting much response to your actual question. I did a search on "penis size" and came up with these threads here:

What Does "Well Hung" Mean?

How do you measure your penis and how long is it by that method?

Now I know I'm in a rarefied atmosphere as far as experience goes here. We're not swinging yet. But what folks are telling you makes sense as far as its importance. The dick is just one member (so to speak) of the sexual "team" that goes together for a pleasurable experience. I can say of the dozen or so girlfriends I had before getting married, all of them remarked at one point or another how "endowed" I was in a positive fashion. And I'm a "measly" 5 1/2 inches erect - low average by most medical surveys, and probably "small" by a lot of participants here. Maybe this is a female standard boilerplate remark to boost men's egos, but they sure seemed sincere to me at the time. Anyway, what I have seems to work just fine with the exception of a few sexual positions where a bit longer would be helpful.
