A size queen is a woman or man who prefers a larger-than-average
penis in a sexual partner. The term originated in
the gay community in the 1960s, but has in
recent years been applied to women as well, as their image becomes more
assertive in the media. Controversy
The existence of size queens is not in doubt. There are always some people who have a specific preference for certain body shapes and sizes. Any debate is generally about how common such size queens actually are. Also, it may be possible to have a mild preference, but not be termed a size queen. Surveys are still not conclusive, but it appears that the majority of women do not rank penis size as a major factor for interpersonal attractiveness.
Many view size queens as mere role-play. There may be various motives,
such as to put down men or feel dominant. Alternatively, some
professional dominatrixes pretend to be size queens entirely for the
sake of their male clients, especially those involved in small penis humiliation, a fetish where the
male actually enjoys hearing the woman extol the virtues of larger
genitals and ridicules the male's supposed inadequacies. Some question
whether most women are truly interested in the size question, and view
it as merely a male obsession. This is because the most sensitive of the
vaginal sexual response nerves are in the area closest to the opening,
and many women find penetration during intercourse painful when it
reaches near the cervix. A common comment in fora is that the women
answering find very large penises uncomfortable, very small penises
unsatisfactory, and prefer above average girth to above average length.Movie & TV Examples
In recent years, jokes and anecdotes about penises and penis size have increased in Western culture. Popular women's shows such as "Sex and the City" and "Ally McBeal" devoted several episodes to penis size, suggesting that a larger penis is preferable. Critical observers point out, however, that the writers of these shows were largely male, sometimes gay males, so their portrayal of realistic female preferences are suspect.
