Penis size is a huge topic of anxiety for a lot of men. And if you feel you're lacking in the trouser department it can affect your confidence – which can then have a negative affect on your love life.
But how big is 'normal' and do women really care about the size of your package? Here, we reveal the answers to all your burning questions.
1. WHAT IS AVERAGE?
Penises come in all shapes and sizes and there really isn't such thing as 'normal', but a recent study has revealed the average todger size.
The mean length of the erect penis is about 5.2 inches (13.2cm) in length and 4.6 inches (11.7cm) in circumference.
And at normal temperatures a non-erect penis usually measures 3.6 inches (9.1cm) from tip to base and 3.7 (9.3cm) inches in circumference.
Most men fall into the 'normal' range, however some men suffer from a micropenis condition. This is defined as 2.5 inches or less when fully erect.
At the other end of the spectrum is someone like Jonah Falcon, the man who currently holds the record for the largest penis.
His huge dong measures 13.5 inches erect, making it extremely difficult if not impossible to have penetrative sex.
2. WHAT SIZE DO WOMEN PREFER?
Unfortunately for most men, women prefer a bigger-than-average schlong, according to research by the University of California Los Angeles and the University of New Mexico.
The study revealed that women prefer a penis that is 6.3 inches long with a 4.8 inch girth for long-term relationships.
And when it comes to one night stands they want a whopping 6.4 inches in length and a 5 inch circumference.
The research lead by Dr Nicole Prause, asked 75 female participants to choose which size and shape they preferred.
They used 100 plastic 3D-printed phalluses to conduct the research and unfortunately for the average Joe it seems women are expecting a lot.
3. DOES SIZE REALLY MATTER?
The information above may have left you in a state of panic, but fear not – size isn't as important as you might think.
In fact, the largest and most comprehensive study of men and women’s reasons to have sex, found that penis size wasn't even mentioned.
The study identified 237 different motivating factors including facial attractiveness, eyes, and general attraction – but schlong size didn't get a look in.
The top three were general appearance, pubic hair appearance, and penile skin. In other words, even when forced to choose amongst a set of penis features, size didn’t really matter that much to the women in the study.
4. DOES HER SATISFACTION DEPEND ON YOUR SIZE?
There is no real evidence that a bigger penis means more pleasure. Firstly, most women orgasm from clitoral stimulation anyway, in which case size doesn't matter.
Also, the G-spot is located just 2 inches into the vagina on the front wall. So as long as you've got a few inches you should be able to pleasure her in this way too.
