When it comes to the question of what size is actually ideal in a partner, we’ve all heard the myth that bigger is always better.
But British adult star Belle Olivia is here to burst that bubble with some surprising honesty — and yes, she’s calling out the myths we’ve all seen in adult films.
At just 22, Olivia is already one of the highest-earning stars in the adult industry, and she’s seen it all. Recently, she opened up about the real preferences of both herself and her colleagues, and spoiler alert: it’s not all about the exaggerated sizes we’ve come to expect.
In fact, many men may be surprised to learn that bigger isn’t always better. Olivia shared that the pressure to have large proportions, often exaggerated in adult films, isn’t as big of a deal in real life as you might think.

She explained: “There’s no way big is always better and because me and a lot of other girls in the industry are so short and petite, that can be a real disadvantage as it gets sore for us when we’re making our content.”
So, what size is considered ideal for intimacy in the real world?
Olivia spills the beans: it’s around 6.5 inches. And for those who are wondering, “What about girth?” Well, she’s got that covered too. Olivia shared, “We also don’t want them too girthy. It doesn’t hurt and it seems to be the perfect fit. That’s also what we want from our boyfriends, by the way.”
Olivia encourages men to stop comparing themselves to what they see in adult films, reminding us that those “exaggerated” representations don’t reflect real-life preferences. “No girl wants to end up not being able to walk every day just because they’ve had s**!” she joked, lightening the mood.
Her insights are backed by research too. A 2022 study found that while women preferred a slightly larger size — around 6.4 inches — for a casual encounter, for a long-term relationship, they preferred something a bit smaller—around 6.3 inches.

Small difference? Yes. But it proves that comfort and compatibility matter more than sheer size.
For those comparing themselves to the big guns you see in movies, Olivia’s words offer a refreshing dose of reality: it’s not just about size, it’s about finding the perfect fit for you—and that might not be as “extra-large” as you think.
So, next time someone mentions “size matters,” just remember: it’s all about finding what’s comfortable and compatible — and maybe not overdoing it, for the sake of your legs.
