Size queen
A size queen is slang terminology for a person who prefers a larger-than-average penis. The term was first used in the gay community and has spread to the larger LGBT, kink and sex-positive communities as well as mainstream society referring to not only gay men but anyone who has or is accused of having this preference.
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 and 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 is suspect.
Other examples:
- Ally McBeal S1, E12, "Cro-Magnon Man" - Ally (Calista Flockhart) falls for a nude model with a huge penis. (story continued in Episodes 13 and 21); S4, E1, "Sex, Lies and Second Thoughts" - Ally breaks up with a man because he has a tiny penis, "like a pop-up chicken thermometer".
- Along Came Polly - Debra Messing's eyes open wide while checking out a naked man's penis on the beach while on her honeymoon. Later in the movie, she ends up cheating on her husband with the same naked man.
- History of the World: Part I: Empress Nympho (Madeline Kahn) selects her orgy partners on the basis of their penises, singing either "Yes" or "No", and one impressive example, she sings "YES!"
- Human Nature - Patricia Arquette leaves her "tiny penis" boyfriend for a well-endowed man.
- The Sweetest Thing - Selma Blair is dating a man but wants to break up with him because of his enormous endowment, at one scene in the movie his penis gets stuck in her throat, due to a piercing and her gag tangling, the paramedics are called and the room fills with a crowd of people.
- Sex and the City - S2, E18, "Ex and the City" -This time it's a penis that's too big; S2, E2,"The Awful Truth", Samantha (Kim Cattrall) finds it hard to tell her boyfriend that his penis is too small. This leads Carrie to refer to Samantha as 'Goldicocks' (trying to find one "that's just right"). In another episode Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) says "Women don't care. We care about nice arms, great eyes, a big dick..."
- Caroline in the City: Del discovers that Caroline's ex is better endowed than he is, and as a result becomes more anxious in the bedroom.
- Degrassi: The Next Generation - At a party, someone pulls down J.T.'s pants and is humiliated when everyone laughs at his small penis. His girlfriend Manny has a look of shock and disgust on her face when seeing J.T.'s tiny member, which someone comments look like "a roll of dimes". Over the next few days she is then distant and cold, and makes excuses not to meet up with him after school. In the locker rooms, J.T. discovers that Manny's ex-boyfriend, Craig, is exceptionally well endowed, causing J.T.'s eyes to widen and his jaw to drop. This causes J.T. some distress, eventually leading to him purchasing and using a "penis pump." Manny catches him attempting to use the device, and goes through with her already-made decision to break up with him, taking it as a sign of his immaturity. She later tells him the reason that she ended their relationship was that he couldn't "be the bigger man," clearly a reference to the fact that she was sick of his childish behavior, and also a barb she knew would aggravate his insecurities.
