Is your hose like a bullwhip or more like a caterpillar?
Porno movies have given men a false sense of reality about penis size and created an international epidemic of penis envy. The foot-long club is an urban legend. According to a study by Lifestyles Condom Company, the average man’s erect penis is only 5.877 inches long, with two-thirds falling between 5.1 and 6.2 inches. About 17 percent of men measure less than 4.5 inches. The penis size reported in the Lifestyle study was shorter than that found in the famous Kinsey report more than 50 years ago. While the Kinsey study asked men to measure their own penis size, the Lifestyle study measured penis size directly. An Indian study showed that penis size was shorter when scientists measured it compared to the men themselves. Size matters to many women, but the width of the penis is more important than length for vaginal sex. The vagina is not very sensitive, except for the outer portion and its opening. Also, the vaginal walls can expand and contract to adapt to the size of the penis. A wider penis can better stimulate the clitoris, while a longer penis reaches a part of the vagina with few sensory nerve endings. Although some women prefer to have sex with a man who has a large penis, penile length and circumference are not good predictors of how satisfying a sexual experience will be. Good sex requires much more than turning on thousands of nerve endings in the clitoris with a large penis. (International Journal Impotence Research, 19: 558–563, 2007)
