Studies on Penis Size

Although it may seem like an odd topic to research, penis size has been a choice of study for years. Because penis size is such a hot topic in society, and such a sensitive topic for men everywhere, scientists have conducted many studies to determine the average size of the penis, as well as anxiety issues related to size and different procedures to alter the size of the penis.

Below are ten myths that studies on penis size have debunked. Read below to get some scientific knowledge;

Myth #1: Women love large penises.

Fact: The majority of women, when surveyed, actually find it more pleasurable when a man has an average size penis. Because the average length of a vagina is only three inches, some women find it extraordinarily uncomfortable to attempt to sleep with someone with a large penis. Most women surveyed agreed that technique is much more important than size.

Myth #2: There is a connection between large body parts and large penises.

Fact: Research has proven time and again and there is absolutely no connection between a large nose, foot, head, etc. and a large penis. It does not matter how tall you are or how big your shoe size is – that is absolutely no indication of how large your penis is.

Myth #3: Penis size will vary dependent on race.

Fact: Although it is an idea perpetuated in popular culture, African American men do not have bigger penises than any other race. Scientists have never found a link between race and penis size that is consistent.

Myth #4: Penis size greatly alters the scope of sexual pleasure.

Fact: Penis size generally has nothing to do with sexual pleasure. Some studies have shown that the thickness of a penis is actually more important than the length of the penis when it comes to sexual pleasure, but that there are other facts that affect sexual pleasure more than penis size.

Myth #5: The shape of the penis has nothing to do with pleasure.

Fact: Many women surveyed completely disagree with this. Many women have indicated that the shape of the penis affects the pleasure zones that are touched upon during intercourse. Often, women say that the shape of a penis is much more important than its size when it comes to sexual pleasure.

Myth #6: Most men have penises between seven and eight inches.

Fact: Contrary to popular belief, in 2003, a survey was conducted that proved that the average length of the male penis was between five and six inches. Most men use the images that they see in pornography to make assessments about average penis size, but the men in pornography are not the norm.

Myth #7: Penis size is directly correlated to masculinity.

Fact: Penis size has absolutely nothing to do with masculinity. Men are the dictators as to how masculine they feel. Just because someone has a large penis, does not mean that they are more masculine than anyone else. Masculinity comes from within; it is not dictated by a number on a ruler. If you truly believe this, there may be deeper self-esteem issues at work.
