What is a Pencil Dick?

This may come as a surprise to some that penises come in many different shapes and sizes. What’s more, we as a society have come up with fun nicknames for these differences. For example, anaconda tastefully refers to a very large penis, referencing the size of the snake. Perhaps that clears up any confusion on what Sir Mix-a-Lot and Nicki Minaj were talking about. Another example of slang that you may be familiar with is “chode” referring to a penis that is wider than it is long. This leads to the question: What do you call a penis that is disproportionately longer than it is wide?

Ladies and Gentlemen, let us present the answer to such questions: the pencil dick. If you are still confused, don’t worry, by the time you finish reading, you will know more about the pencil dick than you may have ever wanted.

What is a Pencil Dick?

The pencil dick is a penis that is thinner than average while having an average/above average length, hence making it the antithesis of the aforementioned chode. The name comes from the fact that penises with this particular shape resemble a pencil. This nickname is usually thrown around as an insult; however, you could see having a pencil dick as a good thing. Perhaps people with pencil dicks push deeper into a partner or sex toy compared to someone with a shorter dick.

Just for a frame of reference on how wide an “average penis” is, it was found in a study that the average penis circumference worldwide was 3.6 inches when flaccid and 4.7 inches erect. Alright, now that we have “official numbers,” here is how you can find out if you have a pencil dick.

How to Tell if You Have a Pencil Dick?

Not to write this off as a “if you are asking if you (or a partner) have a pencil dick, you/they probably do” situation, but you can probably tell what category a penis falls under just by looking at it. However, we understand that there may be some hedge cases where official numbers and measurements need to come into play; so here is how to measure a penis:

Get yourself a soft measuring tape (a ruler may work when measuring length).
For length, place the end of your measuring tool at the base of the penis into the pubic bone. Note down the number.
For girth/width, wrap the soft tape measure around the widest part of the shaft and find the starting point of the measure. Note down the number.
Optional: Add however many inches you want to either measurement (as needed) to sound more impressive. No judgment, we’ve all done it.

And there you have it, compare the length and width numbers to try and figure out which humorously named category of penises applies to you (e.g. chode, pencil dick, grower, shower, anaconda). This is a good time for a healthy reminder that penis size does not represent you as a person, and if you do fall on the shorter or thinner end, that does not reflect poorly on you. When it comes to satisfying yourself or a partner sexually, you will have to experiment and play to your strengths. One way is adding a sex toy to your routine. But which one should you choose?

Sex Toys for Pencil Dicks

Luckily for those with pencil dicks, you are most likely going to be able to fit into most masturbators, but there are a few options that you can optimize your length with. Keep in mind, though, due to a lack of girth, you may want to consider items that you can squeeze and really press the details.

For example, if you are new to sex toys and want to give them a try, some of our single-use sex toys like the TENGA EGG and POCKET TENGA Series might be the perfect option for you. Both series pride themselves on being able to stretch and fit almost any size, meaning that it is more than likely that you will be able to stretch them all the way down to the base, despite the long distance. Another benefit of the stretchiness is the ease of controlling sensations, thanks to the thinner material you can squeeze and rub around, making girth less of an issue.

Reusable sex toys are where your options begin to open up a bit and where you can really make use of your length and directly press the details onto yourself. For those who liked the EGG Series or, at the very least, were interested in the EGG Series, the TENGA 3D Series might be just what you are looking for. Like the EGGs, items in the 3D Series stretch to accommodate almost any size, making it possible to pull them all the way down to the base if desired. They are also malleable enough to provide the same controlled squeezing sensations as the EGGs. While not relevant to the pencil dick topic, thanks to the discreet design, you could place one of the 3Ds as a decoration and pass it off as art!

Flexible items aren’t the only option, however. Some sex toys may provide extra stimulation if you have the length to reach the end. An example of this is the FLIP FLEXY. Sure, you can enjoy it just fine if you are on the shorter end, but for our pencil dick friends, hitting the full length (6.6 inches by the way), you can not only clear the robust sensations of the ring inside, but also feel the pleasures of the orb at the end that envelops the tip. Think of it as a reward for being able to handle the deep penetration. Now, one thing to note is that while not as squeezable as the other products on this list, almost every part of the FLEXY can be squeezed to control the pressure during use. For a thin pencil dick, this allows you to squeeze a bit harder in order to get the full sensations as intended.

Summary

While pencil dick may sound a bit demeaning, there is really nothing wrong with having a thinner, potentially longer penis. There are plenty of TENGA items that are perfect for you, and almost certainly plenty of potential partners who prefer it thin.
