A Colossal and Virile Penis, An Intellectual Powerhouse, and Other Seemingly Necessary Fictions

Almost every Dominant I’ve been with has had some level of interest with the size of his penis, so I’m guessing it’s not so much a Dom thing as it is just plain a guy thing. They often want me to confirm that it’s a large one, and when it’s a Dominant you’re talking to, a girl hardly wants to express doubts. Of course the truth is - and we gals know it as much as the guys do - penis lengths come in a bell curve like most statistics in the world, meaning that most of them are average no matter that I tell them it’s "ooooh so big daddy!"

Now, I had a partner some years ago who also liked me to compliment him on his virility, so I went along with that as well, although in truth not only was he averaged sized as I just noted, but in fact I’m sorry to say that he also wasn’t particularly virile. In fact, as one of his later Submissives once said to me, she had to get him up "with a crank." He and I only had actual intercourse once or twice toward the beginning of our relationship, and because he couldn’t get very hard nor stay very hard, it was a rather unpleasant experience for myself and likely him as well. A note to the wise boys: trying again and again to stick a soft wiener into a girl is a lost cause. Better to take a break and engage in alternate kinky play than to try to get toothpaste back into a tube. And just another note if you’d be kind enough to humor me – and I say this from experience, although this being with a different partner – laying down next to your gal, staring up at the ceiling, and waiting in silence for said hard on to return is not an effective romantic, sexual, kinky, or dominant tactic. And thanks for listening folks, we’ll get back to our regularly scheduled programming now.

And so this Dominant and I soon gave up the somewhat onerous task of intercourse and turned ourselves over to the wider varieties of BDSM diversions, including lots of blow jobs in which he was able to come just fine. I was perfectly happy with this as I never much cared if we did the actual dirty or not, particularly since it was clearly not his thing, not to mention that squash and zucchini stay hard indefinitely. I have to admit though that I always thought it was a bit peculiar that he liked me to talk about the super size and potency of his member when we both knew perfectly well that both were neither. But hey, if you can’t get your Submissive to play along with a little self-aggrandizement, who can you get to do it?

Eventually we went our separate ways, but oddly enough he continued to kid around with me about the length and strength of his manhood. Six months after we’d split, I realized that, not being his Submissive anymore, I didn’t really have to go along with this goofy business anymore, because really, what was he going to do to me, spank my cell phone? So I asked him if we could cease and desist on this particular little fiction, which to my surprise not only did he agree, but he didn’t give me a hard time about it either (no pun intended). At this point I felt that I was living a lie with him, and I couldn’t help but wonder if I’d perpetuated something quite wrong between us by going along with it from the beginning. I say this because perhaps if I’d really sat down with him and insisted that he see a doctor about his erection problem, maybe he would have. I did in fact chat with him once or twice about it in a casual way, but he neatly sidestepped my inquiries, acting as if he hadn’t even realized no intercourse had been forthcoming in so and so many months. Somehow, I doubt that, but the mind in denial is a powerful thing, particularly the male mind in denial of a limp dick.

Now, if you’ll give me a little working room here, I’d like to spin off onto a little parallel universe for a moment. This Dominant I just mentioned was an intellectual powerhouse, and was typical of the kind of men I choose. I’m radically attracted to brilliant men, and I’ve been with at least three cerebrally-intense men in the last decade. What is also a strange coincidence about these same men is that according to my shrink, all three have personality disorders, and I suppose she ought to know for what I’m paying her. Brilliance and fucked-up-edness are not necessarily correlated of course, but one has to wonder how much this kind of virtuosity drains the ability to interact emotionally, because I think we’ve all known people who were terribly intelligent but just couldn’t seem to have intimate relationships. Relationships yes; anyone can have those with people who are just like them or who are willing to accept whatever is available. Relationships with genuine intimacy and connection; not so much.

Now before you get the jump on me, I don’t claim to be an intellectual powerhouse myself, although I like to think my little brain noodles do a pretty lively jig. Still, I have been told by more than a few that I’m not only peculiar, but eccentric. In fact, every time I date someone who hasn’t been married, I can count on some friend of mine to say "hm, I wonder what’s wrong with him," or something to that ilk. Next time I plan to reply, "You may as well wonder what’s wrong with me," because at forty-three years old I haven’t married and never wanted any rugrats, having instead populated my life with my own private passions. It turns out that in the post-modernist twenty-first century, it’s better to be divorced, in that at least someone at some time wanted to marry you. Far better that than an old maid or and old bachelor, regardless of the number of relationships you’ve had.

Despite all this, my shrink tells me that I do not have a personality disorder (whew, what a relief!), just an overly intense disposition toward my life’s vision, and far less focus on relationships than your typical American gal who grows up swathing Barbies in wedding white. No, for me it was a bedful of stuffed animals, long fat snakes with gaping toothy mouths, my gray octopus named "Octi" of course, and Babar, King of the Elephants, who still attends me whenever I travel. When I did do Barbie at friend’s homes, it was more often in some bizarre situation which would thirty years later morph into my kinky Barbie photography, a train of thought unlikely to lead toward a traditional white wedding.

So what do brilliant men have to do with penises which aren’t quite as virile as one might hope? Give me a minute and it will all come together, or so I imagined when the muse visited me with all this in the middle of the night. My sense is that you have this idea that there are particular things that are central to what you need, and they sometimes make you go about lying to yourself or your partner to perpetuate that fiction. But then it turns out that lying was bad for both of you because not only did you create an ongoing fiction of little lies between you, but you never really faced the problem, and worse, none of it was even necessary. In the case of the big and tall tale penis, we didn’t need to create that fiction because I was just as happy doing non-penis related BDSM. I bet lots of other Submissives would be too, particularly if the conversation was out in the open and their sexual and submission needs were being met. In the case of the brilliant but barmy Dominants, I’ve been avoiding such explosively bright men, and choosing instead more balanced ones who are there for me with love and support in ways that those who inhabit the intellect can never be. The brilliant mind was critical to my selection process just as the great and powerful penis was critical to the self-image of my former Dominant, and in both cases it was a false and destructive need.

I don’t know that there’s an easy way to identify these kind of things before they hit you in the ass as you mosey out the barn door, but I do know that anytime I see the blinders go on and tunnel vision setting in (either for me or a friend), it’s a hint that maybe we aren’t seeing the road kill off in our peripheral vision. For those times I can only suggest that you sit down with yourself, consider the bell curve, and realize that obsessing with the edges of the statistical bell doesn’t often pay off in the long run. On that note, I’m off to measure the length and strength of my new Dominant’s penis.
