    Typically if you go looking for a partner with a checklist you’ll be disappointed. Nobody wants to be graded like a piece of pork.

        Yeah, but we’re discussing relationships not kink, you can be into some pretty hardcore stuff and still be hurt emotionally by being treated poorly by a partner

        We don’t have standartization for dick sizes, but we do have it for boob sizes

          We don’t snugly clothe dicks to the degree we do tits. Bras has to fit fairly snug to function correctly and that requires some level of precision. About the only thing that is snugly worn on the penis are condoms, which are very elastic.

          I can think of one standard for dick size, and it’s from NASA. Apollo astronauts wore external catheters for much of the mission, that is, a condom with a hose at the end for collecting urine. These came in three sizes but none of the astronauts would accept “small” or even “medium” so they were sized Large, Giant and Humongous.

          Beyond that, like most male body parts, it is simply measured in inches.

            This reminds me of how when I go shopping for eggs in the supermarket, they are sold in sizes of Large, X-Large, and Jumbo. Nobody wants to face the humiliation of buying a carton of small eggs.

              It is my understanding that eggs graded as small or medium are usually sold to food factories. Think about an outfit like Jimmy Dean, how many tons of scrambled eggs do they make to a batch for all those frozen microwavable sausage and egg biscuits? Who cares how many individual eggs they have to crack?

            Eh, it can be argued that the “function” of a bra is to allow women to adhere to the beauty standards set for them by men.

            That being said, they still aren’t made that precisely, cup sizes are kinda all over the place depending on brand, and even the band sizes (which are kinda sorta close to the actual inch measurement of your ribcage, but not quite) are variable. That’s why bras have adjustable straps everywhere, and why if you haven’t been professionally fitted for one, your bras probably don’t fit you right.

            Men’s underwear does have sizes for the dick pouch and they are small medium and large.

            Also that would be expecting a level of engagement with clothing that most men simply don’t have.
