Does Size Matter? A Scientific Answer

See It From His Perspective

Decades ago, the medical community carried out a survey of the size of a man’s penis. The resulting numbers were somewhere between six and seven inches, depending on how full their glass happened to be on that particular day. In other words, this survey was carried out by men and their rulers, which means it was not the most accurate survey in history. If you leave it to a man’s imagination to report on his number of sex partners, how much he can bench press, his height, or his penis length, I can guarantee the results will be skewed in his favor. That’s just the way we work. But does penis size really matter to men and women? Get more personalized advice, contact a psychic today!

After years of men visiting their doctors out of concern for their size being less than average, another group of scientists decided to take matters into their own hands. Well, it wasn’t exactly their hands, as they had a batch of nurses do the dirty work for them, in a private area just outside of the Dady Rock Nightclub in Cancun, Mexico. The important finding from this study was that the average length of a man seemed to be over stated by about one inch. The medical community rejoiced at this finding. However, men still sulked!

Just the Facts, Sir

The National Health Service (NHS) claims the average man is approximately 5.5 to 6.3 inches long and 4.7 to 5.1 inches in circumference. When flaccid, a man’s penis can range anywhere from two to five inches. The only time that a doctor will even take a man’s inquiry about the size of his manhood seriously is when he is as short as three inches when erect and an inch and a half when not.

“Explore your definition of sexy. Be sexy! Push out those thoughts of flaws and think irresistible.” – Psychic Deejay ext. 5435

Various surveys suggest that 65 percent of men see themselves as being average in size, while the remaining are on either ends of the spectrum. What is most interesting about this is that the vast majority of men are average. Very few ever wander away from either side of the middle, even by a couple of centimeters. What this means is that a good portion of men are living in La La Land when it comes to the size of their package.

A Man’s View

Only about 40 percent of men who claim to be average are content with their size. This drops below 10 percent for those who are slightly smaller. The world can look awfully tiny from 10,000 feet above the ground, and when a man peers down over his package from three feet above it, it also appears to be rather petite. A portion of this feeling has to do with his perspective (the angle), and the other involves the media, who bombard him with the promise of more success in life if he could only grow bigger. According to research, men with a large penis (or at least men who believe they have them) feel more confident, powerful, masculine, and are increasingly satisfied with their appearance.

Most guys watch porn, never see their friend’s erections, and when they look at themselves in the mirror after stepping onto a cold bathroom floor (cold, being the key word here), they see a small Johnson. This can be very influential over a man’s image. While not much research has been done on the actual benefits of size, surveys suggest that homosexual men with the largest organs get top bunk, while the smaller are left with the bottom (so to speak). In addition, sex therapists say that some men struggling with their work and relationships (impotence) find their problems to at least be partially due to an insecurity about their penis. However, is there really a cause for concern?

A Woman’s Perspective

According to an old study back in 1983, college women could not care less if their romance novel hero was eight, five, or even three inches long. Any size could create arousal, as long as the hero was described as using it… ahem, to the best of his abilities. Then in 2002, another group of researchers called this story scenario bunk and decided to ask women point blank what they really thought of a twizzler-sized manhood. What they founds is that only 21 percent of women rated length as important, and another 33 percent agreed that girth ruled the dance floor during the horizontal mambo.

Several years later, a new batch of women were selected to describe the size of their man. Of these, 67 percent claimed he was average, 27 percent bulked about the discomfort of his bulk, while only six percent admitted he was quite tiny for their tastes. Of these women, 14 percent said they wouldn’t mind the girth fairy to visit their lover, two percent said they’d prefer him to be smaller, and 84 percent claimed he was just right. This puts the ratio of penis satisfaction between men and women at 84 to 55 percent, with women clearly the happier gender.

What matters is your attitude toward sex.” – Psychic Rowan ext. 5423

When man first noticed his happy stick as a boy, it was a wonderful, and mysterious friend. They’d spend the next several years growing up together (“growing” being the key term). Then finally, one day as a man, he’d stare down at his winky and wonder how he could make it bigger. He’d imagine hanging increasingly heavier weights from it, taking strange herbal concoctions, or perhaps asking a stranger to take his lifeline into their gloved hands, and pull it out from its roots, and then reattach it with some stitches, glue, and a little prayer. Then he’d say to himself, “Ah, the hell with it,” and finish his breakfast.

Does size matter? Yes, it does… just not that much!

    it all depends on both parties when it comes to the game. dependency on one partner’s size is not the way to go, as it calls for the other claiming either to get satisfaction or not. how one feels at the end depends on how the game was played all along. to me, size does not matter.

    I am a women who has been told by men…your breasts could be larger, your butt could be rounder, your waist could be smaller…don’t cut your hair! We are constantly trying to make men feel adequate while they continually make us feel inadequate… Im just wondering why that is… poor men and their poor little ego? Why? What about us?

    I must agree with Jenn, size does matter! Whoever said it doesn’t ..really?..really? Is it because you have never experienced bigger?….only average to small?… Its like never having tried different chocolate and saying milk, dark and white chocolate all taste the same because they are all cadbury. Performance matters too. Nothing worse then having a man with a small penis role over after a few minutes and say he is tired…ugh. What? Really? 🙁 I think that most men have too much ego compared to most women…its high time we stop protecting them and judge them the same as they judge us!

    First of all I think it is rather cruel to complain about something that he has no control of. He is who he is and make the best of it, If you get lemon make a sweet lemonade and move on and see him for all his other qualities that he possess as a human being!

    It is rather sad and disappointing to constantly hear a man ask you about his size because some insensitive lady told him that he didn’t measure up, ladies we have our own short comings and goings. Remember what your grandmother always said if you don’t have anything good or constructive to say keep it close, after all what purpose will your negative comment serve?

    Just because a man is tall doesn’t mean he has it long and big. Men wanted to have ladies with big breasts and nice full buns. With that said sizes matter to both men and women. It’s only fair!!!

    I am lucky then that I am classed as average ( Oh how safe in the pack!) However go one further and belive truly that it is about the chase, the joy, the fun, the foreplay, and more important about putting the pleasure to others first, in doing so, the saisfaction follows, a bit like banking ( I SAID BANKING) !

    Yes! does matter, not only to men themselves psychologically, feels incompetent if below average. That in itself will affect his performance. If, well endowed? Meaning average or above, not only are we women in for a good treat, but so is he. In all around appreciation on both sides. Can & will break-up a marriage, more so if too small, not heard my friends I included complain much over too big. I personally enjoy more, of course if attraction feelings for one another exists (IF in love) great plus. Then he will sky rocket me straight to heaven & back. Need be pretty lucky and smart to reel one of those in & be able to keep for oneself.

    All women are made different, and their arousal areas are also different, it depends on if the mans gifted size and how big around it gets , to rub the clitoris area. I get complete satisfaction out of a large and big , I have a deep vagina and need it all.

    IT’S ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE INVOLVED, IF A MAN FALLS “SHORT” LADIES TAKE THE DRIVERS SEAT FOR A CHANGE, AND WHEN A MAN IS STANDING “TALL” MAKE SURE YOUR UTERUS ISN’T TIPPED BECAUSE THAT CAN BE PAINFUL AND REQUIRE SURGERY BUT MOSTLY ENJOY THE ONE YOUR WITH, REMEMBER ITS ALL ABOUT ACCEPTANCE AND LOVE, WE WANT MEN TO EXCEPT US WITH SMALL OR LARGE BREAST OR IF WE’RE TOO FAT OR SKINNY, YES I KNOW WE AREN’T THE ONE DOING THE PENETRATING AT LEAST NOT WITH SOMETHING PHALLIC AND IM NOT TALKING ABOUT WHAT GOES ON BEHIND YOUR CLOSED DOORS, I’M TALKING ABOUT GOES ON BETWEEN YOUR EARS AND INSIDE YOUR HEAD AND INSIDE YOUR HEART AND HIS. EVEN WHEN A MAN IS WELL ENDOWED HE CAN STILL HAVE SELF DOUBT ABOUT HIS PEFORMANCE AND FEAR OF HURTING YOU BECAUSE SOMEONE COMPLAINED THAT HIS MEMBER WAST TO BIG AND THEN WE MUST PLAY PSHYCIATRIST TO BREAK THE BOND OF SELF DOUBT TO REALLY GET HIM TO LOSEN UP AND ENJOY YOU THE WAY HE SHOULD, SO IT’S CAN BE A DOUBLE EDGED SWORD FOR BOTH PARTIES.

    Sexual chemistry is the most imperative, with the imagination and connection between lovers. The perfect dick without desire on both sides will never rule the day. Too BIG just plain HURTS, and really restricts a woman’s ability to move with a man with aroused abandon and pleasure. Nothing like pain to destroy the path to orgasmic release! “In the other hand” (LOL) a teeny peeny that can’t hold a hard and keeps falling out is just as distracting by frustrating. Penetration, although it may be perferred, is NOT neccessary for the Big “O” for either party. Tongue, mouth, hand and fingers are all exquisite tools for either gender in Lovemaking. In the final analysis I say: “It’s not the size of the wand….it’s the Magic of the Magician!”

    Yes Jen! Yes! Size absolutely matters. I’ve only been with 6 people, two of them being welllll above average ( one was 11” one was 12” ) they were the best I’ve ever had. Now one of them was on the smaller side of things ( 6”) but there is truth to it being okay if they know what they’re doing because he was very good but in a different way. All a Guy can do is learn everything he can to do the best with what he’s got. Good luck guys!

    I’m sorry, but this article is way off. First of all, the survey is of women polled on their opinion of the size of their significant other. Whether or not a woman considers a man her significant other IS ABSOLUTELY SOMEWHAT dependent on his size. I hate to burst bubbles out there, but it absolutely matters.

    Good article…hopefully matter solved to everyone’s satisfaction. I am a small woman
    and as I have aged my gyn tells me that for lack of use (divorce and picky about sexual
    partner), I am the one that has shrunk..I have for the most part, been very happy with my ex’s size, and a recent lover…that was the perfect size in every way…unfortunately a very promising love relationship had to be passed on due to the too-large-for my size guy.

    I believe it does but that is my opinion. I should also mention here that if you do not angle the vagina correctly, this would have a great impact on g-spot stimulation. So many unintelligent women fake it for whatever reasons, and should be more vocal and tell the man. It will only help him to become a better lover. He has the vessel but some need a map!! lol

    There seems to be so many variables relating to penis size and the correlation of sexual satisfaction in woman. The first thing is the mental aspect of sexuality and how it relates to the stimuation of the mind. Physically, the woman’s vaginal structure seems to play a “large” part as well. I always wondered if women who’s clitoris is close to their vaginal opening experience more pleasure from penile thrusting than women who’s clitorises are not close to their vaginal openings. Then there is the G spot…how much does that come into “play”. Add on the angle of the penile erection, angle of thrusting, female or male dominant positions…on and on. Guess it comes down to simple communication and/or the possibility that some couples hook up more favorably than others…you think?

    if you are a Lesbian – there is no penis on either partner, and women know how to please each other without it.

    if a man has to sit to pee either he is a king or his penis is very small.

    larger sizes are lovely for some things like intercourse. but oral sex can be harder (no pun) to perform – or other sexual acts… “you want to put that where?”

    if a guy got a big one but you don’t love him or he is not a good lover who cares… if you have a little guy and he turns you on and knows how to have foreplay and fun in bed and can get you to climax it’s all good.

    i always thought men used different rulers anyway.

    really enjoyed this article. 🙂

    Size really does not matter. But your performance does.
    Remember the comic book version of the the Third Crusade. Salauddin and Richard the Lion Heart were talking to each other, when Salauddin asked Richard how does he use his long double edged sword. Richard looked around and proped a thick iron pillar on its two edges. And with one mighty swing split the pillar into two pieces. Salauddin took of his silk turban and unfurling it asked Richard to cut it into two pieces. Richard shook his head and said it can’t be done.
    Salauddin spread the silken turban in the air with a twirl of his sword’s tip and then sliced through it with his short curved sword.

    One was a demonstration of strength while the other was about skill: to each his own flair.

    unless you already have a “good sized” lover ( husband and/or boyfriend) size IS important.
    and yes i believe girth is more important then size , BUT i have never seen a 8″ girth penis, while being 5 ” long , have you? with size comes girth , and no matter what men do they are ( just like us ) stuck with it. lest he cuts it off, and say ” to hell with it”.LOL. Size does matter , dont kid yourself , ask any man if he rather have a lady friend with” no bra necessary” or a size C or D ? what do you think he will prefer , lest he lies to protect all the flat chested.

    Size matters in my opion as it relates to the way a woman feels about the man and if he has a level of skill in makeing love. To big or and long unskilled it hurts, small and short unsatisfied. The brain is the largest sex organ in my opion and if she is into the man almost anything will accomplish the optimal. Feelings emotions if you will are of the utmost importance to me and skill.

    I moderate a chat room on an adult website. I get asked this question a lot. My standard response always has been, “Does the size of my breasts or the size of my bum — or any woman’s breast or bum — matter to you?”

    Almost every single man says, “Yes.”

    I tell them two things from their answer, “Well. You just answered your own question. Now can YOU do anything about your package size? Of course, you cannot. Remember that a. women CAN do things to change their breasts and bums — or not. However, many women learn to have confidence in what they were born with and work it. You should do the same. Embrace your package and know that most of your partners will, too.” *grin*

    A man clearly wrote this trying to boost the ego of himself & less than & average men. Average is not acceptable when it comes to pleasing a woman. Men don’t fantasize about average woman..why should we have to settle for the average Joe & put on an act as if were being pleased for the sake of his tender ego.
    ..society today doesn’t give a damn about a woman’s self-esteem when it comes to measuring up physically. Why should men. Be protected ?

    & furthermore…of course a man wrote this article & gathered the statistics from selective studies of his choosing to boost both his ego & the millions of men who don’t measure up. This includes all men who don’t possess an ideal penis. Which I’m sure the numbers are much more indicitive & realistic of the true population. Even if its not a nub..even if its average..so what. That’s unacceptable in my book. Long & thick is where the pleasures at. M

    That’s bull..size definitely does matter..both length & girth. A man with both is the alpha male. Length with the width the size of a thin marker & a stubby nubb that is thick are both of no use..although of the two I’d prefer the later. At least its doing some stretching of the vaginal wall
    . However…its like this for the most bothin both cases..”is it in” the woman says .” As the man is getting off! These studies were obviously made to make the average and the less than feel better. Trust me..in reality, every woman’s knight in shining armour is well endowed..in both. Men &&&&&&&&&&idolize woman with perfect breasts & buttocks…so to should it be for a mans penis. Screw. Worrying about their low self esteem & diminished self worth because of their size…its an asset, just like women are compared & idolized & treated like dirt cuz their bodies don’t measure up to society’s sick standard

    There is an old saying which goes something like this : It’s not the size of the ship that matters, but how it’s brought into the harbor that counts.

    In other words, a man may be well-endowed but it’s how he uses it, technique and arousal factors including foreplay , with his partner, is what matters to most women .
