The intelligence argument I can believe, the fertility argument I can't. What would the reason be that a small penis is more fertile?

The explanation is in the comment you're replying to. Of course it isn't an advantage, but apparently the greeks did believe that.
Without trying to be crass, a smaller penis fits into a wider array of vaginas, compared to too large a penis.
Not necessarily. You don't need to put it all in, while a big one reaches further...
That's fair enough, for those far away women that men with small penis' would not be able to reach
I was actually referring to girth. The vaginal canal is fairly elastic, but I've known women who complained that they were physically unable to have sex with a guy I knew because of girth.
Those women were either lying or exaggerating. Woman have babies through that canal, and a baby's skull is much larger than any man's girth. There is no way these women were "physically unable" to have sex with some man. It might have been uncomfortable for them if they were especially tight, but they could have done it.

This reminds me of men who claim that normal size condoms are "too small". Again, total BS. It's quite easy to blow one up like a balloon without it bursting. A larger one will be more comfortable for someone large, but the regular one will stretch to fit.

It may stretch to fit, but has a higher likelihood of shrinking back down during sex. Furthermore, a less comfortable condom due to it's size will increase pressure on the penis and reduce sensation even further. If you have a big cock, get an appropriate size condom.

Yeah, I never said it was ideal, just that it would fit. I did say that it wouldn't be as comfortable. Same as a woman with a guy who's "too large" for her. It'll fit. It may not be comfortable, it might hurt some even, but it will fit.
