Cant figure out how they did the study. Did they send men with a particular penis sizes out to have sex with 10 women each and then have the women rate their performance?
You guys tell us women not to worry about some of our body issues and thank you for that. Now let me return the kindness and reassurance.
I have never spoken to a woman who mentioned men's penis size. I don't know all woman but zero out of the women that I do know must tell you something.

Who sponsored the study and how exactly did they go about getting this data? Was it simply based on asking women what size they prefer? Did the women even measure their partners? Depending on how they did the study, the it most likely comes across as highly subjective.

I suppose you could have a sample size of a couple hundred women, get a whole range of dildos based on length and girth combination that are also made of the realistic feeling material and do the study that way. Highly doubtful it went down this path though because that would definitely be too clinical plus would not factor in the quality of the lover in the first place - which is the biggest determinant for sexual satisfaction.

Most likely, it's a survey put together to get men insecure about their wangs and to buy enhancement drugs or other products to get into the "ideal area". Considering the ideal for women is roughly 1" above the averages in length and girth leads to a lot of disappointed ladies I suppose...

I have a hard time buying this study since there is so little info provided about the actual study in the article.

Really brah?

It's official: penis size does matter › News in Science (ABC Science)

Women like a tall guy with a big cawk.

Wow, like we weren't already aware of this fact and it wasn't already painfully obvious.

Life is ugly, and Nature doesn't give 2 figs about "gender equivalence" and "NAWALT" etc.

It just is what it is, and we all know it.

Whattyado? It's not like these are things a man can change.

Off to commit suicide by mod now by posting a thread in the ladies lounge about the ideal vagina that women need to possess, LOL

You need to read the rest of the site.

Guy says right on his landing page that the site is for men with low self esteem. Well that's a good opener.

Site also goes onto say that the average as we already well know ... is hovering right around 6 inches. Which only further indicates that there is in fact, 'no pleasing a woman' for the average guy.

Unless of course your a TAM husband with a wife that posts here about her husband's lovely unit, in that event your penis gets a 1.25 inch bump.

I don't think women are shallow for how they feel about penis size, I think they are shallow for entirely different reasons. ;)

I don't have low self esteem. And my penis is exactly awesome inches.

That chart has been fairly well debunked and as Deejo says it is taken from a site that tries to help guys who have low self esteem, penis anxiety, whatever. The whole aim is to knock the guys completely down before picking them up again and showing them that it doesn't matter.
My wife thinks mine is awesome so that's good enough for me.

To be honest I would of thought that those longer measurements would be downright uncomfortable for a woman.

I can just scrape a B on a good day and my wife has said she would not like any larger.

Well, I'm not exactly fretting about being classified in the "enjoyable" category!

So how do we, as men, gauge women? Whether they're endowed enough to accommodate "breast sex?"
 
#12 ·
I call BS.... The chart is a farce. Now keep in mind that women are also built very different so some may truly desire the largest Penis they can find... however, that is not the case for all women and that assumption should never become a blanket statement.

The same can be said for breast. There is NOTHING wrong with small breast, there is nothing wrong with large breast. Attitude is far more important and goes a long way. There is nothing more annoying than a woman with a large rack that truly believes her rack defines her and it is the focus of her everything.

Given there are some physical issues with a penis 2" long but I would hardly say a man that is say 5.5" cant give pleasure. That is a load. Actual studies have shown that the average range is just over 5" to 6" and there are plenty of satisfied women out there.

Also, define pleasure.... A LOT of women love anal. How many women are going to find pleasure with a man swinging an 8" x 6.5C rod around their rear? Im guessing not too many.

There are some things that simply cannot be fixed but if you fall anywhere near the normal range (between 5" - 6"), everything works, and you are willing to pay attention to your partner and put in the effort.... you can be pleasurable. Ignore the friggin chart...

Chart is bogus. Exactly how did they reach these conclusions?

I have never heard a female friend complain about a lover with a small penis....EVER! I have heard two different female friends complain he was TOO big.

There is soooo much more to sex and enjoying your lovers body than the size of his penis.

From a wife with a well endowed husband who has ED.

It pops out with an average size too. Especially if you're getting a bit carried away.

What intrigued me was not the chart itself, which is fairly clearly bunk, but the reactions to it.

One set eagerly establishing themselves as "measuring up"

One set that accuses women of being shallow and not appreciating the "whole man"

One set upset that women have "unrealistic expectations" -- perhaps because of porn or perhaps because they have no conception of the actual real life average man.

So, it would seem, it's super easy for men to see why they should not be compared to unrealistic ideals or to be treated just as a "piece of meat."

Yet, in he reverse scenario, it's "completely natural" and "biological fact" and "absolutely objective", and women should just be grateful that men are always ranking them because it proves their interest.

The fact is that men and women have instinctive values that they want the other sex to meet. This is and has always been the case, otherwise there would be no such thing as specific attraction and we would never prefer one person over another. Physical attraction counts more for men than for women--this is an established fact. Financial success in a partner counts much more for women than for men--this is also an established fact.

It is what it is. Anyone complaining that people should just accept them for who they are is ignorant about attraction.

I think I first saw that chart 3 or 4 years ago. It was all just made up numbers then, and it still is. Back then you could check the image with tinyeye and easily see that it was originally made up as a marketing thing for a hack company selling male enhancement pills. Now if you check it with tinyeye it's referenced at 43 other sites. It's designed from the get go to appeal to men's insecurity and get them to buy pills.

Always...I think what will ultimately happen is that women will continue to objectify men MORE over time...until it is a fairly equal amount of it going back and forth. This is more likely to happen than men objectifying women less over time.

When things are equal (ie: both genders objectifying equally), then perhaps there will be a new discussion that can occur that looks at a few things differently.

The ideal penis:
One that works when needed and often. Without medication.

That chart has been debunked so many times it is hard to count. Not all women are the same size so what a woman wants has a lot to do with what they need satisfied.

As Deejo has already mentioned the chart has many flaws in the make up of what ladies may want in a man's penis size. The important part is the man needs to know how to use his. You can have a Cadillac but if you never get it out of the garage it is not much use.

I didn't feel threatened in the least regarding the chart. It makes me more bemused than anything since the laws of nature alone should indicate that the size/shape of most penises and vaginas are compatible given what we know about biology and evolution. As a species, we'd have a serious problem if a typical woman cannot be fully satisfied by a male with a normal penis.

That alone indicates that it's a cheap marketing trick to prey on men's insecurities. All I care about is how happy my wife is in the sack.

That alone indicates that it's a cheap marketing trick to prey on weak men's insecurities. All I care about is how happy my wife is in the sack.
:iagree:
Exactly! [ hope you didn't mind me fixing it for you!]
