Just like vaginas, penises come in all shapes and sizes. While stereotypes will tell you that “bigger is better,” it can be kind of alarming when you come face to face (er, crotch to crotch?) with an oversized penis.
“Bigger is not always better—that idea is absurd,” says Dr. Jessica O’Reilly, host of the @SexWithDrJess Podcast.
That doesn’t mean you should write a guy off because he has a big penis, or assume that your sex life is screwed—you just have to get a little creative. There are a few basic truths to keep in mind when it comes to having sex with a bigger guy. Lots of lube is crucial, says Rachel Needle, a sex therapist and licensed psychologist at the Center for Marital and Sexual Health of South Florida.
It’s also important to take it slow and use plenty of foreplay so you’re ready by the time you move on to P-in-V action, says sex therapist Debra Laino.
Of course, sex positions matter, too. That’s why we got experts to share their top positions to try when your partner is bigger down there.
