Average.

[TINKERBELL]

The word average seems to insult and be taken as a negative by men.
So what is another word that we could re-brand the mid range penis? a word that doesn't offend male ego? a word that can be used proudly..
It always amazes me how many take the word average in a negative way when its being used as a positive.

any ideas?

Smaller than big.

Bigger than small.

Or maybe Regular

[MrB8]

I think its all in the mind, and whichever term is used in replacement will always get the same response from those who were offended by the original term.

There has to be a different way to convey it as a positive message but then again many men (unfortunately) would not be satisfied with adequate, average or enough. They just have to be so competitive about everything especially their penis size.

What I'm trying to say is that no matter what you say, if the guy is self conscience about his size or plain arrogant/greedy won't take it as a compliment, we do have some members who come complaining about a 7.5x5.5 penis being too small and so on.

I agree with MrB8 on the terminology.

But what really changes image is having a very masculine image of an average male. For, me that's the good ol' Greek statues. I have one on my mantle. They're all growers, but to me those men are the proportional and ideal physical image of a muscular man.

Midsize; well it's better than compact! ( or a mini cooper).Plus they usually get better mileage.

I think it is because anyone doesn't want to be average at something that means a lot in such a crucial part of a relationship, same reason those that are not under or overweight want to look better when no one, but them cares. Being average, at least for some people like myself, means they are not good at something they want to be better at. With sex and relationships average is pretty easy to beat and men, and some women, expect them to excel in this area.

As for a new word, you could come up with plenty of them like going to thesaurus.com and this is what average gets us.

boilerplate, common, commonplace, customary, dime a dozen, everyday, fair, fair to middling, familiar, garden*, garden-variety, general, humdrum*, intermediate, mainstream, mediocre, medium, middle of the road, middling, moderate, nowhere, ordinary, passable, plastic, regular, run of the mill, so-so, standard, tolerable, undistinguished, unexceptional, usual

All of them seem like the same thing.

I think it comes down to many things. When any of you were in school and half of your peers were only getting C grades. Would you also be totally satisfied with only getting C's. I wouldn't. Some may be content with a "average" car. It may get you to where your going and is reliable but wouldn't you rather have a Porcshe, Benz or Caddy. Some may be content with winning a bronze metal but lets face it most want the gold. If all other things were equal would guys prefer that their spouse be average in appearence or above average. Wouldn't a good portion of women prefer the same thing. You may be able to get by with a "average" income but a few extra bucks allows you to have more freedom and less stress. I'm not happy being "Joe Blow" and will always strive to be better than the next guy. Most of these things you have some control over. For some penis size or your looks is something that you don't have significant control over in improving. In regards to penis size I believe average is acceptable to most women, but who wants to be just acceptable. We hear all the time about women prefering thicker or longer penises (above average) and how it stimulants the nerves better, reaches spots that the average size may not, allows for a wider variety of positions and is more visually stimulating, etc.

Many have said that if a woman ends up with a guy with a bigger penis that its just a "bonus" and is otherwise not important. If average is just as good as a big one then why is it a "bonus". If I thought that a average size penis could always hit all the same spots and provided the same level of stimulation to the vagina then I for the most part would be content with being in the average size range. If there was no real difference, advantage or "Bonus" then I think most would be content with average. Unfortunately its just human nature for men and women to want the bigger better thing and yes I think this applies to the penis also. Not that it is necessary or required for good sex just that the experience can be heightened. I know this outlook may be depressing to some (it is to me to) and may seem to contradict the therapy type atmosphere here, and I apologise but I do not believe I said anything that is untrue. The facts as I see it even though, unfortunately it may only make the bigger guys feel better about it.

I like the term "Joe Blow." I think I will refer to my dick as a Joe Blow Dick.

and this is where men are going wrong when average is used talking about cock its talking about measurement not the list that many seem to emotionally attaching to the word, like you have listed Dontrike.

Average:

mean, median, medium, middle, midpoint, norm, par, rule, standard, usual

and i am saying lets find a word to use for midpoint range of cock that doesn't have the other feeling 'average' attached to it.
