In this week's episode we're answering one of YOUR questions with a combination of expert tips, personal experience, and a bunch of research.
The Question: "I think my penis might be too big for comfortable penetrative sex with my girlfriend. We’ve had open conversations about it and she’s super reassuring, but I still end up feeling guilty, like my body is somehow making things harder (pun unintended, but also… not wrong). What is actually considered a “normal” penis size? Do women even care about size as much as we’re led to believe? And most importantly—how do we make penetrative sex work for both of us, or what are some other ways we can stay intimate without feeling like we’re missing out?"
We're covering:
What the research says about "normal" penis size and what partners are looking for
Alternatives to PIV sex that you can try
Tips for making PIV sex more comfortable (toy, tools, and positions)
Are some penises too big for condoms?
How to find YOUR condom size
BONUS: tips for if you feel like your penis is too "small" for penetrative sex
