It’s the kind of question that can turn a quiet evening scroll into a full-blown discussion thread: “Are girthy dicks considered big?” One gay man’s curiosity became everyone’s conversation, as gay men from all walks of life chimed in with opinions, experiences, and a healthy dose of humor. Because in the world of gay sex, sometimes width speaks louder than length.

The original poster (OP) added, “I’ve never thought of mine as big because I’m a bit above 6 inches; however, my girth is also 6 inches, and apparently that is bigger than the majority of guys. What is the verdict?”

It’s a question that stirs conversation every time it surfaces, not just about size, but about sensation, preference, and what “big” really means in gay men’s experiences. When it comes to sex, there’s no single definition of big. Some focus on length; others, on thickness. But if you scroll through discussions among gay men online, one thing is clear: girth gets a lot of love.

One popular response summed it up perfectly, “Yes, girthy dicks are big. A skinny dick that’s 8 inches is just a long dick.” This reply highlights something many gay men emphasize — visual size and felt size are two different things. A penis can look average in length but feel massive due to its thickness. When you’re inside someone, or being penetrated, girth creates the feeling of fullness that many bottoms describe as the defining feature of big.

Another guy added a more sensual perspective. He said, “Thick dicks are heaven to me; to have one in your mouth when they fill your mouth so good is pure bliss.”
For this commenter, the appeal of a thick shaft isn’t just in penetration but in oral sex—the weight, the stretch, and the way it fills the mouth.

A witty quip from another user went viral for good reason, “Girth is mirth.” His response is short, cheeky, and absolutely accurate for many gay men. The humor reflects a broader truth: girth can enhance pleasure, create intimacy, and make the experience memorable for both partners.

Others echoed the same sentiment with a bottom’s perspective, like this guy who answered, “Yes! As a bottom, I’d rather have a man with a girthy dick than a long skinny one. Length doesn’t matter to me as much as girth.” This speaks to preference and comfort; for many, thickness offers stimulation that length alone can’t provide.

Meanwhile, one commenter humorously but honestly confessed, “I’m a petite Asian, and I must admit that anything bigger than 5 inches in girth will likely wreck my hole, unless I’m super horny, but I’ll likely end up the next day having trouble walking properly.”
Here, the reality of size compatibility comes through. For some, too much girth crosses the line from pleasure to pain.

Another gay man provided a more practical metric: “If you struggle taking it then it’s big, anything over 5.5 inches in length is long. Anything over 4.5 inches in girth is girthy/big.”
It’s a good reminder that being big isn’t just about numbers; it’s about how the body reacts and how both partners experience it.

And for some, their preference is clear-cut: “Anything over 6.5 inches in length, I’m not having it. But girth, the thicker the better.”

Based on the answers in the thread, many gay men agree that girth definitely counts, maybe even more than length. But comfort, chemistry, and communication matter most. After all, a great time in bed isn’t measured in inches, but in how good it feels for everyone involved.
