Despite the exaggerated expectations that pornography promotes, most penises are not seven inches long. In fact, the majority of penises are less than six inches in length (5.1” is the average according to medical studies). So, what is the best way to go about giving oral pleasure to partners with average (or smaller) penises?

Don’t Say “It’s So Big”

Thanks to cultural conditioning via porn, media, and ‘locker room’ boasting, most people, regardless of size, are self conscious about their penises. Don’t try and say something you both know isn’t true.

Say how great it looks, how much it turns you on, and how good it makes you feel.

Pleasurable sexual experiences necessitate honesty and positive communication. Lying from the get-go is definitely not a wise foundation for building a mutually gratifying encounter.

Give Genuine Cock Compliments

It’s more productive (and honest) to say how great it looks, how much it turns you on, and how good it makes you feel. Try complimenting the hardness, shape, and responsiveness of their penis.

Best Blowjob Positions For Smaller Dicks

The good news is that most oral sex positions work well with small to average penises. Here are three positions to consider for getting started.

Lying Down

This is one of the most comfortable positions for both partners during blowjobs. Here, the receiving partner reclines on their back while the giving partner rests on their belly between the receiver’s legs on the bed, sofa, or floor (if both partners find that comfortable).

Kneeling Position

(aka The Sex Slave)

This position allows the receiving partner to watch the action as the giver delivers the pleasure. The receiving partner may be sitting or standing, but the giver is kneeling in front of them either way.

The Side-69

This position is not only comfy for both of you, it can allow you access from glans (the tip or head of the penis) to root (the base or part closest to the body) while also allowing access to your genitals too - fun for two!

Best Blowjobs Techniques For A Smaller Penis

The key to any enjoyable sex play always involves open communication. Find out which areas bring the most pleasure and use that information to your advantage. Also, being attentive to physical reactions, such as breathing and muscle tension, between frequent verbal “check-ins” can be great covert indicators of what your partner’s enjoyment level is.

Regardless of size, focusing on the glans (head) of the penis is almost always a great way to begin because it is usually the most sensitive area. Gently kissing and licking around the glans before running your tongue along the corona (the smooth ridge of the head that separates the head from the shaft) and frenulum (the small stretch of skin on the underside where the glans meets the shaft) is likely to please.

Working With Less Penis Length

If you enjoy deep throating, you’re in luck! Deep throating is putting as much of the penis in your mouth as you can, or even the entire penis. Receivers can find this super hot and receivers sometimes enjoy feelings of empowerment when they accomplish this form of oral play. The trick is to put as much of the penis in your mouth as is comfortable and to hug the shaft with your lips and gently suck - this can be a real mind-blower (pardon the pun).

If you enjoy deep throating, you’re in luck!

However, keep in mind that using only one technique can get boring for both partners pretty quickly. If your hand width takes up most of his length when wrapped around the shaft of his penis, don’t be afraid to use a few fingers instead. Using your index and middle fingers to glide up and down the length of the shaft will feel great while still allowing you to keep more in your mouth.

Working With Less Penis Girth

The good news here is that there is less potential for teeth-scraping, so you will be able to suck and thrust with your mouth more quickly. It is also likely that you will be able to maintain a comfortable amount of suction with ease.

Adding Lubes And Toys

Using your favorite flavor of lubrication will reduce friction for your partner as well as enhance the enjoyment of your taste buds. Check out latex-friendly of Wicked Sensuals Flavored Lubricants.

Adding sex toys to the blowjob experience can also be fun and hot for you and your partner. With small to average penises, it’s not a great idea to bring out a large realistic dildo as it may be intimidating or insulting to your partner, but there is a wide range of toys that can be great additions.

Fingertip vibrators, which act as an extension of the wearers’ hand can add extra playful stimulation to their shaft, scrotum, perineum, and bottom. There are a variety of wearable finger vibes to fit almost any budget. Grab two, one for each of you, as your partner can also wear one to stimulate your favorite erogenous zones for double the pleasure! Check out the Colorpop FingO Finger Vibrator and the Pyxis Waterproof Finger Vibrator by Jopen.

The bottom line

Your enthusiasm for pleasing your partner will be incredibly sexy. Few things turn someone on more than just knowing that their lover wants to please them. As long as you and your partner are practicing open communication and offering positive feedback, the experience can be enjoyable for both of you.
