What is a dick rating?

Dick rating is a popular service on adult platforms and communities like Pantydeal. It involves one person (the customer) paying another person (the content creator or seller) to rate their penis.

It might sound simple, but there is an art to providing a professional dick rating experience.

How does dick rating work?

Wondering how to do dick ratings?

A penis rating starts with a customer finding a content producer who offers professional dick ratings. They will check the seller is experienced and verified and understand what kind of dick rating they offer and at what price.

The customer pays the agreed price and sends the seller a photo or video of their penis (whatever the seller requires), often with a ruler or other object for scale.

The seller (or group of sellers, if content producers decide to work and offer the service together) will answer the image with a personalised rating.

The level of detail and rating type depend on what the seller offers. But a standard dick rating includes a rating of the penis on a numbered scale, like 1-10, alongside a verbal comment of a few sentences or paragraphs.

Penises are often rated based on various factors such as girth, length, shape, symmetry, personality, performance, originality…

What’s the appeal of dick ratings?

Curiosity

Most men or penis owners are genuinely curious about what women or other people think about their penis.

Penis health, wellbeing and facts are areas where most men are in the dark, and misinformation is everywhere.

What’s the average penis length? Does size matter? Is there an ideal shape? Is a curve a good thing? There is never a single answer.

Confidence and validation

Though most of the worries men have about their penises are unfounded and are based on unrealistic comparisons to porn, honest, positive dick ratings can alleviate feelings of insecurity.

It’s natural to compare ourselves to others, but every penis, like every person, is different. And like there is no ‘perfect’ time a man can last in bed, there is no ‘perfect’ penis size or appearance.

A professional dick rating can leave you seeing your penis in a new light, focussing on its unique and positive aspects, enhancing overall confidence and sexual performance.

Exploring fantasies and kinks

Are you turned on by feelings of submission, praise, intimacy, or degradation?

Dick ratings can be a safe environment for people to explore kinks and fantasies, like penis worship or erotic humiliation.

They let you explore different aspects of sexuality (on both sides of the interaction) in an open-minded and enthusiastically consenting space.

Building connections

Exchanging photos of an intimate body part and receiving thoughtful feedback creates a deep connection between individuals.

It’s a sexy interaction based on mutual respect. These elements build closeness and understanding, leading to longer-term relationships between sex-positive people.

How to do dick ratings? Tips for successful dick rating experiences

Ask what the client wants out of the experience

Before sending your rating, get to know your client a little first.

Some people want to experience humiliation and have their penis mocked in specific ways. Others want compliments - gentle, sincere words or worship.

Why are they here? What are their boundaries? Do they have kinks? What can you comfortably offer them based on your own desires and experience?

Keep it real, but be kind and respectful

It’s crucial to avoid customers leaving feeling objectified or demeaned. Dick ratings aren’t all about ‘judging a book by its cover.’

But don’t be fake. This won’t get you anywhere, and the customer can tell.

Properly consider the penis in front of you, its characteristics and what it makes you feel, and be diplomatic about an area you think needs improvement.

Remember that there is a person on the other side of the screen who should be treated with dignity.

Take the time to give detailed, constructive feedback

In your rating, you can cover the basics like length, girth, symmetry, and grooming, but you should also focus on aspects that stand out or make the penis distinctive.

Is there a unique curve? Distinctive patterns of veins, shape of the head, or colouring?

What impresses you? What could be improved? What is your favourite part? The best dick ratings use detailed, descriptive, creative language.

Don’t just focus on physical appearance 

Personalise your dick rating, and don't focus only on appearance. Use your creativity to imagine the person behind the penis.

What would you do to their dick if you had the chance? How would it feel to share a night with it? What kind of personality impression do you get?

You can also comment on the image or video quality. Was the photo shot from a good angle with flattering lighting?

How and where to go for dick ratings

Interested buyers can find people offering dick-rating services in the Pantydeal community and other sex-positive platforms.

Approach with awareness. Find verified sellers with good reviews and clear information about their dick rating services. This will allow you to trust who you are purchasing from and have the desired experience.

Before sending a photo, discuss your experience, boundaries, and desires (and fears) with the seller.

Then, send your best possible photo or video. Do you want to do anything with your pubic hair? Do you want to send a selection of photos? A freshly cleaned appendage is advised.

Celebrating bodies in all shapes and sizes

There is no such thing as a perfect penis and no shape or size that is inherently good or bad. There are merely preferences. How to do dick ratings? Keep it real.

Penis rating can be a problematic practice if too much focus is on stereotypical appearance, if ratings are given in unkind or unthoughtful ways, or if unrealistic body expectations are perpetuated.

This is why dick ratings are a craft that should not be about competition but about celebrating what is unique. No two penises are alike. And thank god for that.
