Alice,

Just a note on penis size and the desire for a bigger one.

I think the standard reply, which diminishes the importance of phallic size based on the preferences of others, is fairly crazy. When I observe myself nude in the mirror, I never think that I want to change a body part because my wife would find it more pleasing. Instead, I'm thinking that I want that part to change because I want it to look better for me.

Why is it relevant that the average size of an adult erect penis is under six inches? If I crave a 9-inch penis, the average smaller one does not come into the equation. I wouldn't be interested in what other men have or what women on average prefer.

Size matters, I believe, if you, the man, believes it does. It's not juvenile or stupid to want something because others think they don't need it.

8.5 and wanting more.

Dear Alice,

I am a 24-year-old male, and virtually all of my girlfriends and other friends have said that size matters, at least to some degree.

Alice, you say that so many things besides penis size are important in a sexual relationship. And I agree. But the fact that penis size is only one of many important things does not make size irrelevant. However, while it is difficult to change your penis size, you can do other things to improve your lovemaking technique. So that is what one should focus on, I think.

I love reading the Alice site. I think it provides a good service.
