IIRC the Kamasutra says there's 3 genital sizes for both men and women; big (horse/elephant), medium (bull/mare) and small (hare/deer). It says you can have great sex with up to 1 size difference, and although the woman being one size smaller is preferable to her being one size bigger, it calls equal unions the most perfect ones. And that's just refering to vaginal intercourse itself, of course there is so much more to sex.

I don't know what my point is, other than: don't fret! If you find someone you like, and who likes you, a lot of silliness and unfounded fear will fade away.

To add to your point, I think the article highlights one reason to be interested in the procedure that is not about body obsession:

> after five kids, their wife couldn’t feel them anymore

Seems like today this can only be remedied by a woman with kegel exercises, and if she is not up for it, there is nothing you can do as a man to shrink the size gap.

who's to say she isn't trying? gotta pick up the slack, kinda like how there's an option for male birth control.

I wonder what the kama sutra's model has to say about surveys indicating that women who have sex with women tend to have significantly more satisfying sex lives than women who have sex with men. Presumably, for the purposes of the model that its authors are getting at, the magnitude of "size mismatch" between two mares is infinitely greater than that of a mare and a horse or hare. Which might imply that the model is deeply, fundamentally broken.

It seems to have a track record of breaking people, too.

I can’t say I have any insight into the sex lives of lesbians, but size seems unlikely to be the driver of that vs. things like empathy, more equal sex drives, and no pressure to get off before the other partner.

Strap-ons come in any size. It can be difficult to find ones which allow full control / subtleties but the harnesses from Aslan leather do a pretty impressive job of providing full control over the dildo.

I didn't mean to cite it as an authority on everything, but the bit about genital sizes struck me as sensible, certainly more sensible than just obsessing about having a huge penis.
