Book Binge

A few years ago I read a book by Susan Andersen called Hot & Bothered. The hero of H&B is none other than John "the Rocket" Miglionni. He's a former Marine turned P.I. and his claim to fame is the size of his Johnson. No, I mean it. You see, The Rocket had a pretty hard childhood, and he kind of figured he wasn't as good as all the other guys out there. Until the first time he had to take a shower in the locker room, that is. Then, much to his surprise (and mine, if I'm being honest here) the other men started going on about how well hung he was. Now, it's been awhile, so I can't remember for sure if SA actually told us just how big The Rocket was, but I do know his nickname stemmed from his rather..ehem...large size (If you know what I mean and I think you do).

Now, SA certainly isn't the first romance author to talk about her darling hero's size, and I know she most certainly won't be the last. And if we're being honest here, ladies, we can admit (if only to ourselves and each other) that size does matter. Now, now, don't look at me like that. We all know it's true. Men, if your lady is telling you it's not an issue, she's lying.

Side Note: Regardless of the size, however (whether it be large or small), knowing what to do with it does make a difference. Right ladies? :End Side Note

But I think it's important for women everywhere to qualify the statement "Size Matters!". Why? Well, while it's true that size is important to us, there has to be a cut off point there. Because, I have to tell you, there have been times when reading about a particularly large member and my only thought is, "Ouch! That's gotta hurt."

That's right, I think it's time we draw the line. Sure, size matters, but that statement goes both ways. Because I have to tell you, the thought of a full foot of manroot anywhere near my love well just makes me queasy. Come on, that shit would hurt! As Jaine Bright from LH's Mr. Perfect once said, "Anything over 8 inches is strictly for show and tell."

Rowena here and I've got to totally agree with Holly there, and I'll tell you why just as soon as I can stop laughing from her mention of man roots and love wells.

LMAO LMAO LMAO!

I've been reading romance novels for a few years now and I've read my fair share of descriptions on just how well endowed most of the heroes are and lately, it's been making me roll my eyes down the street at how absurd it's getting. And not even just in books that I'm reading but also in reviews of books that other people are reading.

Like Karen S for example. She just read a book called Ben's Wildflower by Carol Lynne and the hero, Ben has an overgrown cock. His overgrown manroot is giving him problems and he's ashamed of it because it's the total bane of his existence.

Are you frickin' kidding me?

Yeah the eff right. If you've got a 10 inch boinker, you're not ashamed of it, you're not being a whiny baby about it, you're screaming from the rooftops like you're Dirk Diggler.

You're screaming, "I am a star. I'm a star, I'm a star, I'm a big bright shiny star. Yeah, thats right!"

Really.

But does the size of a man's johnson really factor into how well we like our heroes? Say Derek Craven had a little willy, would we all still love him as much as we do? I mean, that's not what we're all gushing about when we discuss his book, right? It's not what we most remember about Derek, so is it really necessary to go on and on about the size of the hero's ding-a-ling? I'm not saying that Lisa Kleypas did that or anything I'm just well, saying...yeah we know the hero is a big mothereffer down there, we expect it...but would it matter what size the hero is in order for him to be macho and lovable?

I don't think so. We love them for who they are, not what they have in their pants...don't we?
