So this is a story and a question all in one. I’ve been ENM and similar for a long time and so see multiple partners etc. I was seeing a girl who is a good friend still and after us sleeping together she starts raging about a friend of ours and his humongous hummus. She says he is over 8 inches for sure and thick as a brick. She said it was bigger than mine and all that - I was excited to see for myself especially being as that is someone I’d been flirty with in the past. I know guys lie about their penises but didn’t think it as common an occurrence with women?

Fast forward a couple months and me and the guy and friend (also a girl) get busy. We’re all naked a little later and ding dong damn. Don’t get me wrong, he was maybe 6 and a half inches and a little thick. I was visibly larger, both significantly longer - at least an inch and thicker. The girl we were with was surprised because we had been joking about it and I was going off what the person I slept with told me and saying it was a monster past 8 inches and so on.

It was great sex nonetheless we all had a lot of fun but I’m just curious what happened there? I’m going on 7.5 with over 5.25 on a bad day. Did she just get it wrong? But then by almost 2 inches…? Could it be because he is significantly taller? I’m only 5,10 he is 6ft . Started thinking this may not be the first time women have had reads based on variables other than actual size. What do you think?? It’s not that deep btw - all good fun I’m genuinely just curious how common this is and what factors are at play.
