The male's phallus, the pee-pee, the male genitalia, the membrum virile, and more.
Or literally the ‘male member’, the are way too many words to describe a penis.
While men can (and wish) to put their intromittent organ into good use while in bed, more than many men around the world are sometimes obsess with the size of their schlong. For more than many decades, many men were reportedly unhappy with the size of their ramrod, and sometimes, the suffer from anxiety and excessive worrying.
"Does penis size matter?"
There are two answers for this, yes, and no.
And online surveys are shedding a bit more light into this topic.
A penis consists of the base, shaft, glans, foreskin, the urethra and its opening. Then, there is the scrotum, the prostate, pubic bone, the blood vessels, nerve, connecting tissue, and the erectile tissue.
While the anatomy of a penis cannot be argued, the size doesn't share that privilege.
Every penis is different, and each has different characteristics. And when the appearance of a penis is a concern, then the size of it is also something to consider.
Penis size does matter because psychologically, the larger it is, the higher its attractiveness and and desirability.
Men tend to link penis size with masculinity, virility and overall attractiveness.
Men also think that by having a larger member, women would be attracted to them even more, because they think larger penis means better sexual selection, and that size makes them a more attractive man to reproduce with.
As a result, men may feel insecure, believing that women are constantly judging them.
The good thing about this, for men, is that, the most sensitive area of a female reproductive organ, is located near the entrance of the vagina, meaning that men don't have to have a large penis to simulate it.
The clitoris, for example, is an organ that exists only to provide pleasure.
It’s packed with nerve endings and because of this, its location that is very near the entrance allows easy stimulation from a hand, a tongue, a vibrator or even through rubbing it against the body.
What this means, a large penis is not necessary.
However, there is the correlation between penis size and what depicted in online media.
Men who are unhappy with their penis size, constantly ask themselves, whether their size is big, small, or average. And their doubt might have come to online pornography, where male performers can a huge boner when erect.
In pornography, where performers can perform in a variety and positions, even making up new ones, many of which are only possible when the man has a longer penis.
What's more, female performers are shown to be always in ecstasy, when having sex with a man with huge penis.
The question of does size matter means more than just length, because size also encompasses the penis' girth, or diameter.
While some women prefer longer penis, some women prefer wider ones, because this the stretching of the vaginal walls causes the preferred stimulation.
But all of these have been part of a huge lie sold to men by online pornography.
Even many women fell for it.
However, that isn't exactly true, because again, size does matter, despite not always.
According to internet survey conducted by the University of Nicosia, it's realized that 94% of the 26,437 heterosexual female participants found that women their current partner’s penis was "large" and were "very satisfied" sexually, but only 32% of women whose partner’s penis was "small" were very satisfied sexually, and 68% of those women wished that their partner’s penis was larger.
The research from Bad Girls Bible, which touted itself as "your guide to intense sex, more orgasms & a deeply passionate relationship," surveyed 1,387 respondents, and found 91.2% of women say that size matters for sexual satisfaction with certain penis sizes being too small for them
Key findings also include:
- 83.4% of women find some penises too big to be satisfying.
- 6-8 inches is the most favored penis size range (“Goldilocks” range) for women.
- 43.6% of women say penis size matters when deciding to date someone.
- 56.6% of women say that a partner possessing a penis that is too large could contribute to them ending their relationship.
- 40.2% of women would consider cheating on a partner with a small penis.
- 47.4% of women report that penis size matters during a one night stand.
- 68.5% of women report that penis size matters in a friends-with-benefits situation.
- 64.5% of women believe that penis length & width are equally important for their sexual satisfaction.
- 61.5% of women find sex with a well-endowed partner satisfying.
- 81.5% of women cited pain as the main cause of unsatisfying big penis sex.
- 57.3% of women who found big penis sex satisfying reported that they enjoy “the feeling of being stretched.”
- 7.22 inches is the average ideal penis length for women.
The research also finds that penis size matters to women in relation to:
- Female sexual satisfaction.
- Casual sexual relationships.
- Entering a new relationship.
- Ending a relationship.
- Cheating on a partner.
While the survey relied on the "anonymous recollections and preferences of our study participants," and that participants "were encouraged to tell the truth and accurately represent what they had experienced," the data is nevertheless self-reported.
What this means, there is the possibility of some inaccuracy.
But regardless, the survey finds how online pornography is affecting men's and women's expectation of a penis.
"Pornography has adulterated world sexuality particularly today where every cell phone has a free door to view pornography in any of over a hundred classifications," the research said.
This is further clarified in a research by the medical website Medzino, after questioning 1,003 American adults of all ages about their penis preferences, and discovered that younger respondents are more likely to say size matters in the bedroom.
While 61% of Baby Boomers and 60% of Gen X’ers believed penis size was crucial to sexual pleasure, the numbers were noticeably higher among those in their 20s and 30s.
The research found that 74% of millennials said size is important, and that number increased to a whopping 85% among Gen Z people.
It's suggested that the result is apparently caused by how people are becoming exposed to online pornography at a younger age, and this possibly shaped their ideas about having bigger penises.
Almost one in five straight men surveyed said pornography was the biggest reason for their body insecurity during sexual interactions.
Similar to the survey by Bad Girls Bible, the survey from Medzino also finds that the "ideal penis" size is between 6 and 8 inches.
Another survey, made by dating site Big One also found that 8 inches is the optimal penis size to make a woman orgasm.
But again, just like all surveys that came before them (and after), they want to show that size is important, but not that significant, because a majority of female respondents aren't even thinking about penises when it comes to finding a mate.
Most women surveyed said that a sense of humor and personality were more important to them than penis size when seeking out a copulation partner.
As long as the man is able to create a good foreplay, and is an interesting character, the likely he will score high up in bed.
It's also important to note that the surveys were made online with participants coming from the U.S.. Expectations and satisfactions about penis sizes may differ from men and women in different regions or countries.
