When it comes to penises, length matters more to men than to women, according to a new study that reviews more than 60 years of research and debunks numerous sex myths.
About 90 percent of women actually prefer a wide penis to a long one, according to two studies included in the review. Eighty-five percent of women reported being satisfied with their partner’s penis size, compared to only 55 percent for men.*
The review, conducted by Drs. Kevan Wylie and Ian Eardley of the Porterback Clinic and Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield and St. James’ Hospital in Leeds, United Kingdom, respectively, combines results from more than 50 international research projects into penis size and small penis syndrome (SPS) conducted since 1942.
“The issue of attractiveness to women is complex, but most data suggest that penile size is much lower down the list of priorities for women than such issues as a man’s personality and external grooming,†the researchers write.
Drawing upon the results of 12 relevant studies, the review, detailed in the British Journal of Urology (BJU) International, finds that the average erect penis is about 5.5 to 6.2 inches long and about 4.7 to 5.1 inches in circumference.
For the office Christmas party. Don’t forget to bring a tape measure.
*Hahaha. Their own, douchebag.
Wasn’t it Vonnegut’s Breakfast of Champions, where he noted the size of the male character’s penises?
How about you and I meet in the 4th dimension, baby?

Who did they interview for the study? It sounds a little trisexual, with far more information than I want to know.
I’m unfamiliar with a “forth” dimension, but in a “fourth” dimension you might actually make sense!
It’s just the Wisconsin motto, Mossberg.

FORTH is still used for special applications where RAM is extremely limited, such as Open Firmware” and Mari’s brain.
Those regional references always confuzzle me.
Still…a large one is always met with enthusiasm and appreciation I’ve found. =)
“Eighty-five percent of women reported being satisfied with their partner’s penis size, compared to only 55 percent for men.”
Gives a whole new meaning to penis envy…
lee, mine’s only at the high end of normal. I’m assuming that those are Imperial inches.
11″ is normal, right?
For girth, I mean.
circumference = 2*pi*r
I’m waiting for cynn to open the comment thread for a post about penis size, then declare herself offended by what she sees.
I come from a long line of penises, or a line of long penises.

Fixed that for you, SBP.
You don’t think she’ll get dick, do you, serr?
WRT to my Congresscritter, I’m in the 45% category.
Why does it matter what women prefer again?
oh. Love is complicated. Someone should write a song.

pi*Dia= circumfrence
Girth, length…it don’t matter. As long as you hit the spot that don’t stop, your lady will be very happy. At least that’s what Obie Trice told me.
The sausage king of Chicago’s personal research suggests that the ladies likey extra meat in the casing.
ok now, let me give one woman’s perspective (and if girltalk is any measure then my musings are normative)
IF a woman is satisfied with her partner then the size of the instrument is far less important than how the instrument is wielded.
Size is absolutely no substitute for talent.
To tell you the truth, we don’t really care all that much how big breasts are, either.
Cough {bullshit} cough…

Here’s a question I’ve asked … no judgment just curiousity … fake or natural? DDD fake or B natural?
I have a tendency to believe a great many men are like Bill Engvall who like boobies in all their natural glory … little ones, big ones, et al.
fake ones displayed like they’re fake are different than fake ones in a more demure package. I don’t understand why exactly but I see a lot of them in the produce section at Ralph’s cause of all the adult film actresses that live here and like salad and I contemplate them sometimes.
Natural. And please, no rinoplasty or facelifts.
And no cellulite out of your ass being injected in your lips. Please.
Most useless gadget: pendulous breasts.
Too big, too much. Me personally? I’ve “been around” both natural and “enhanced” and have been ok with both. I think as long as they aren’t freakish, then hey, it’s all good. But mileage may vary with different guys.
Are you talking about dicks or tits, OI?
What?
feets – Are you contemplating the produce or boobs at Ralphs, or both?
I guess more the boobs cause mostly I only look at the produce at ralph’s to see how much I’m saving driving a few blocks to the barrio for produce. A lot. Their new thing is where you can get a package of pomegranate arils. Pomegranate arils are what you call pomegranate seeds. This was new to me. They’re expensive and I’m not sure what you would do with them and they look kind of not very attractive packaged up all naked like that. They have antioxidants but what doesn’t these days?

Hubby is semi-pro photographer… will NOT consider “enhanced” models… fake boobs do not behave like natural.
like hf, I’m also in So Cal and amazing how many women undergo knife for a couple of cup size increases, yet never consider that outside of clothing, those puppies just don’t sit or bounce like natural.
As someone considering breast reduction surgery, I have a question…
Reduce and implant or reduce and lift with no implants?
Yes, I’m serious…
bmeuplls
if its reduction, why would implants be considered? (news to me)
The other “uh”-related story, I had nothing to say about. Sorry. So this is (non-responsively) for you, happy:
No cite (so you know it’s me), but I recall that a couple years back a statistically wide swath of teh ladies was asked, without option for qualification or evasion — straight digits — what size dicks they wanted in them. And in them.
The results were plotted on an X(long)/Y(thick) graph, colored blue for no, red for yes God yes. The resultant jpeg swept the ‘tubes. Briefly. Because…
The redness was intensely — as in, there was barely any purple around it — concentrated in an area somewhat X-er and way the fuck Y-er than all but a few of us are swingin’.
Which is the first line of my autobiography, approximately.
Is all.
And no cellulite out of your ass being injected in your lips. Please.
Black people in general look on with a hearty ‘WTF’ at the lip injection phenomenon.

Had one (now it can be told); one of my better decisions. No implants. Why would a reduction include implants?
The removal of the tissue and replacement with implants reduces the risk of breast cancer, supposedly. It runs in the family. No tissue, no playground for the cancer cells. But is that worth having two headlights from the vintage car era proceeding me in to a room two seconds before I enter? Decisions…

It’s easy if you look on it as simply that human beings are never satisfied with what they have.
Got straight hair? Get a perm!
Curly hair? Get it straightened!
Light skin? Go tanning!
Dark skin? Bleach it!
Of course, those who get cosmetic surgery for a real medical problem are different.
I don’t even see anything wrong with cosmetic surgery for purely aesthetic reasons — it’s just that so many people make poor choices in that area. You’d think that Michael Jackson would serve as a walking cautionary tale, but it doesn’t seem to work that way.
Put me in for a vote on natural only. Anyone who goes under the knife for purely cosmetic reasons doesn’t understand the risks. I guess that’s an outgrowth of knowing what it’s like to have to get cut up or croak.
Now, if a woman had her breasts removed because of cancer or something, and wanted to replace them, I would get that. Otherwise, I prefer the real thing. And while I admit that I will look at the bigguns since I’m programmed to do that, I have never chosen a girlfriend based on the size of her breasts.

said it best, I think.
Reduce and lift, unless you are _really_ concerned about breast cancer. If you have a very high chance then life is better than boobies by every measurement.
Otherwise, natural in all cases and all sizes. For those ladies with very large boobies, the health and wellness concerns trump the somewhat short term attraction, unless you really enjoy having a bad back and not sleeping very well and having them get in the way for the remaining 23 hours 25 minutes/day they aren’t being used for entertainment.
I just want to know where happyfeet lives. I obviously need to move.
oh. I live in Studio City. In the Valley of Saint Ferdinand, who is the patron saint of adult entertainment. I actually walk past the Vivid headquarters every day. They are a large producer and distributor of the aforementioned entertainment products. Sometimes you see young ladies what get out of cabs out front and you think good for you cause you are on your way. Actually down the street further is the clinic where the entertainers get certified as not having the AIDS and such. I went there once with a friend and sat in the lobby while he got his stuff checked out. You can just go there for regular stuff too without being in the business so that’s what that was about. But still while I was waiting people would look at me and try and place me or see if they had worked with me or whatever. That was an unusual way to be looked at I thought. They have a coatrack made out of dildos but it was summer so I didn’t get to use it.
Real are always better than implants…People can do as they like with their bodies, but don’t whine about bad plastic surgery jobs; and don’t expect public money to pay for it except in cases of reconstruction…
Because, that’s where it’ll be goin’ with this national healthcare business…
If we don’t fail students, regardless of their performance, because of, you know, fairness and self-esteem, then how could we deny any woman a set of Pammy Anderson breasts if they so desire…
