Penis Size: Genetically Robbed?
I had never heard the term "genetically robbed" until I came across it in a post on the Sex Matters Message Board. Had I continued to live in San Francisco these last ten years, I might have heard it used, but life in the suburbs of Sacramento was a bit more tame and hadn't brought it to my attention. Once I decoded it from the context of the post, I thought, "Hmmm...a new way to slam men. Will it ever end?"
Most women who really like sex tend not to care much at all about penis size. They tend to emphasize how a man uses his body with her and how he treats her in the building up to being sexual -- things that he can completely control, unlike the size of his penis and the size of his feet.
I also think sometimes a woman who isn't very sexually experienced, who expects to orgasm from intercourse alone, or who believes that intercourse is the only "real" sex, might hold a mistaken thought that size is important and possibly imperative to her sexual functioning. Lacking knowledge of their bodies and sexuality, they may be grasping at straws to figure out why they're not orgasmic or don't particularly enjoy "sex." In that case, it's information that they need. They need to learn more about how their bodies work and expand their picture of what is "sex." It's a lot more than just intercourse. And still, size does not predict a woman's fulfillment with intercourse.
I honestly think that women sometimes look for ways to be critical of men -- particularly in the areas that seem like vulnerable spots for men. I think that this desire to be critical comes from anger at men -- often over issues that have little or nothing to do with sex. But, most women understand that many men do have concerns about the size of their penis, so they sometimes exploit that concern.
So, I can just picture how this latest phrase about being "genetically robbed" could make its way into contemporary cultural lingo. It's unfortunate and unnecessary, and not helpful nor kind -- but there it is.
