It’s the biggest question in the world of sexual wellness and wellbeing: does size matter? Men and women are often very curious about what the right or average penis size is, with men in particular being fixated on the idea that their penis may be inadequate. Men often worry that women will form opinions of them based on the size of their penis. The media has not helped with this problem as it constantly shows men in porn movies that have above-average sized members. There is also a large number of treatments and remedies available that claim to lengthen the penis, and this leads men to believe that it must be an important issue.
Most men see their penis as their prized possession. Boys sexually identify themselves by the fact that they have a penis and therefore having a penis becomes closely linked to their self esteem. From an early age, boys discover that they have a penis and develop a lifelong fascination with it. The media then reinforces the idea that penises equal power, masculinity, and sexual prowess.
The average penis size is around three and a half inches long when it is flaccid and about six inches long when erect, according to self-reported data from men. Researchers found that when they did their own measurements, however, the data revealed penises to be smaller than the self-reported figures indicated.
In actual fact, figures show that the real data could be a penis length of 5.3 inches when erect and much smaller when flaccid.
Women are also much less concerned with penis size than men seem to think. In porn films, women exaggerate their responses to the length of penises, but in real life women report that they feel very content with the penis sizes that they encounter.
Whilst more than half of the men surveyed said they were unhappy with their penis size, around 85 percent of women said that they were happy with the penis size of their partner.
