We all tend to have a vague understanding of \u2018big\u2019 and \u2018small\u2019, but when it comes to sex there isn\u2019t much clarity of what any of it means. Is it length? Circumference? Is there some secret equation we should all learn? Maybe we should start measuring by weight. Or surface area. (If you\u2019re interested, here\u2019s the equation for working out the surface area of a cylinder: <strong>A = 2\u03c0rh + 2\u03c0r\u00b2<\/strong>. Just make sure you keep a Casio scientific calculator in your bedside drawer.)<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve talked in the past about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/penis-big-deal\/\">how to have sex with a well-endowed man<\/a>, but time and time again, surveys all over the world \u2013 including our own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/lelo-global-sex-survey\">global sex survey<\/a> \u2013 return results saying that the vast majority of women don\u2019t consider penis size an issue one way or the other, and that men worry about it far more than women do. The concept of \u2018size\u2019 isn\u2019t the right way to look at it, it\u2019s better to think about shape, and which positions can offer the most pleasure for both partners.<\/p>\n<p>Here are our favorite sex positions by penis type.<\/p>\n<h2>Penis Type #1: The Scimitar<\/h2>\n<p><em><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7893 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/standing-t.jpg\" alt=\"standing t\" width=\"250\" height=\"300\" \/>Shape definition:<\/em> the Scimitar is a penis that curves upwards, is thicker towards the end and length is irrelevant.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Best Position<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The standing T<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Why?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This position suits both of you best because it allows your penis to naturally follow the shape of her body. It\u2019s a very smooth, simple and pleasurable position that allows for fast sex, slow sex, and penis size is completely irrelevant. What\u2019s more, the steeper the curve of your penis, the better it feels <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/gspot-sex-positions-are-right-on-target\/\">stroking her G-spot<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Penis Type #2: The Lighthouse<\/h2>\n<p><em><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7895 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/doggy-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"doggy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/doggy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/doggy.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Shape Definition:<\/em> a straight penis that narrows towards the end<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Best Position<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Doggy Style<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Why?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Doggy style is a great position for most penis shapes and sizes, but it\u2019s particularly good for this penis type because a lot of women sometimes find entry painful in this position \u2013 at least at first and particularly if he has a substantial penis. (Add plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/video-lelo-personal-moisturizer\/\">personal moisturizer<\/a>!) A straight penis that narrows towards the end makes entry more comfortable, and remains satisfying.<\/p>\n<h2>Penis Type #3:\u00a0 The Ruler<\/h2>\n<p><em><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7889 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/the-frisk.jpg\" alt=\"the frisk\" width=\"250\" height=\"300\" \/>Shape Definition:<\/em> a long, straight, roughly symmetrical tube that doesn\u2019t vary much in width along its length.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Best Position<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The Frisk<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Why?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This is the most versatile penis shape: it\u2019s a go-anywhere, do-anything jack of all trades. So the world\u2019s your oyster. But if it\u2019s particularly long, then we recommend The Frisk. It allows her to change her position as much as she likes for different angles and sensations.<\/p>\n<h2>Penis Type #4:\u00a0 The Chiquita<\/h2>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7891 size-medium aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/tbone-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"tbone\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/tbone-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/tbone.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Shape Definition: <\/em>this shape is a little shorter, perhaps wider in the middle than at either end.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Best Position<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The T-Bone<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Why? <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>This position, with her legs thrown over her shoulders and knees separated, offers more depth and more room to pull all the way out and all the way in again.

Penises come in as many sizes, shapes and shades as there are people on the planet, and for guys wondering which walls that their unique penis shape is stimulating, that requires a frank discussion with your partner and then coming together to figure out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/sex-positions\/\">the best positions<\/a> for the two of you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, discovering where your unique angles and shapes are providing the most stimulation is something you\u2019ll be able to learn from your pleasure objects. Now that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lelo.com\/blog\/f1s-review\/\">Sextech<\/a> is finally here, you can read post-performance feedback from your sensor-equipped sex toy that can tell you what parts of your penis are stimulating what areas within the vagina.
