1. As I'm female
I don't have an opinion. But I'd love to see what the guys have to say.

4. As females I think we should be the pickers and choosers?
Since a man could end up looking like 'Long Dong Silver'......which is really the stupidist thing a man could even hope for!!!

First Viagra and now they get to pick how big it is. That may help us with the problems associated with guns and Hummers, though. LOL!

15. OW! Are you guys stupid?
Seriously, how many times do we have to tell you, it's NOT the length, it's the GIRTH! Now look. I'll explain it one more time. There are many females, myself included, who have a short...er...CANAL that leads to the cervix, and a LONG...er...member HURTS LIKE HELL!!!

12 inches sounds painful as hell, and not in a good way, either.

You men really ought to start watching 'Sex in the City'. 4 inches is about all we can seriously take. We want the ballpark franks (the plump kind), not the foot-long kind. Anything else is a waste, unless you can fold it over.

There's a lot of folks I'd like to wave my magic wand and give them the big penis, so they'd stop compensating with their outrageous behavior.

Can I do that? I'll never say another bad word about genetic science if I can do that.... :)

10. I'm just thinking about the old joke
"God gave you enough blood to run either your brain or your penis, but not both at the same time." Most people are dumb enough already!

Besides, I'm a small woman. I'm not impressed by livestock-sized units. Big willies are to impress the other guys in the locker room.

Men would just faint all the time. It'd be annoying.

29. If women's breasts were to go into the urethrea of a mans penis
I hope they would choose very delicately...a soft narrow boob!

Besides...women's breasts are NOT sexual organs...but child nutrition facilities....get over boobs!!!

19. I would give all men
Edited on Mon Aug-25-03 05:43 PM by dutchdemocrat
I would give all men the same size penis, whatever size (in cm not inches) which would be chosen in a global referendum. Then men would not need to buy monster trucks, Harleys and watch WWF with a warm Bud on an easy chair. Men would stop buying penis extension pills and kits, and all men would feel comfortable in the locker room...

Men could then pleasure women without guilt (if smaller) and without arrogance (if bigger) and all in all women would be happier... so would men. I would say variation in girth should also be limited. No baseball bats allowed (top end).

I say we go with a good solid 20cm (don't worry ladies that's about 7 inches) for all men. What do you think?

That's brilliant! And this is coming from a man. No matter how large a man is, he always thinks it should be bigger. Let's get rid of that problem now and free up our minds men! Just think of all the extra time we'll have! Maybe we'll be able to remember our g/f/Wife's B-days then!

44. I agree with most of the women who say that this would be bad.
Imagine the US/Soviet arms race of the 1970's and 80's. Now imagine it in flesh - that is what I think we would be facing.

I think the majority of men, as in over 50%, would increase their penis size to an extent to render it no longer fully funtional with an average-sized woman. Some guys would feel they needed to add an inch or two just to keep from being left behind.

I would be tempted to add a little, maybe 1/2 inch of girth and 3/4 inch in length. But I would be afraid to add too much. Everything seems to be working fine now, and if a little extra length or girth would require me to hold back and be more "gentle", well what's the good of that?

46. I think men would be tottally capable of moderating their member.
C'mon. Breast implants, as much as I dislike them, haven't wound up making millions of women with triple-D breasts. Most women just bump up to C or whatever. (The only place I have found breast implants to be excessive, is in the porn industry, where D+ is common.)

Yes, I agree that penises and breasts aren't exactly comparable, but I think there isn't any evidence to suggest that men would take it to the excess.

But really, bigger is better. Question is whether or not this gene can be used in gene therapy for growth after adulthood. If not, it's quite useless, really.

54. breast implant comparisons are illogical
have you ever heard of a man voluntarily reducing the size of his manhood?

Women with large breasts routinely have them augmented to a more reasonable or manageable size. usually due to comfort and strain issues.

as a Man I would love to sit on a park bench telling the other men around that I was out of work for six months with back strains from hauling around a 4lb *****
